Jared Jones, Cedanne Rafaela, Langford, and Chourio all on my team where we have a rule that if you don’t make the team you need to be dropped…used to pray for times like this
Justin Mason
10:55
I think they all make it
Billy Bathhouse

Not thrilled with my draft but it’s why they play the games.  Can you rank the back end of my rotation? Nestor, Cris Sanchez, Pfaadt, and Crochet. QS league.
Justin Mason
10:55
Pfaadt, Sanchez, Nestor, Crochet. Really like all of them
Jeff

Pick up Mize for an injured Eury Perez?
Justin Mason
10:56
Sure
Have a ton of questions and not much time so I am going to speed round things here and maybe go a little long since I started a little late.
Mike

With Jared Jones making the pirates roster, where does he slot into your SP rankings this year? Is he top 50 in dynasty leagues?
Justin Mason
10:56
I think he is in my top 50 ish for both

I usually like to save my last few roster spots for some $1 lottery tickets. Ideally if 1 of 3 pans out, you get great value. How long do you usually wait to assess their performance? Does early/mid May make sense?
Justin Mason
10:57
I move quicker than that. Usually I cut those guys in 2-3 weeks
Shoulders
10:57
What we doing with Stephenson?
Justin Mason
10:57
Not drafting him
so
10:57
brebba or jax in league that counts holds and saves?
Justin Mason
10:57
Jax
Too many MI?
10:57
In a 10 team H2H points league, I've got a lot of "might rebound vets" or "prospect hype" players at middle infield: Correa, Story, Holliday, Keith, Westburg.  Planning to hold them for a while to see who pans out.

How long would you wait before making a decision on who to keep and cut?
Justin Mason
10:57
2-3 weeks
Matt

OBP roto league. My OF is a hodgepog. Nimmo, Happ, Jung Hoo Lee, Soler, K Carpenter. Which 3 you starting?
Justin Mason
10:58
Nimmo, Soler, Happ(if healthy)
Dodgers Blue
10:58
RE:Matos.....if he is up to start the year, how much playing time will he get?
Justin Mason
10:58
short side platoon to start. Could get more if someone gets hurt
KC Pain
10:58
As a new Josh Naylor owner who got him for cheap, does he seem underrated?  Im reading scouting reports and kind of think of him as a Jose Abreu type.
Justin Mason
10:58
He is. I love Naylor
Dave
10:58
You said you had Varsho a little ahead of the standard 5th OF types-- what do you expect out of him this year?  You buying him running a ton?
Justin Mason
10:58
Bold Prediction. Varsho goes 20/30
Mike
10:58
When do you expect to see Drew Thorpe in the majors this year? Will he be a reliable option once up?
Justin Mason
10:59
I think he is up at some point, but I am not stashing him
Phil

12 team H2H keeper format. Do I hold Taj (still not on IL) or drop for one of DL Hall,  Gil, Severino,  or Stone? Thanks!
Justin Mason
10:59
Drop for Gil or Severino

Best software to track your team's projection during a draft?
Justin Mason
10:59
Smart Fantasy Baseball
Matt

I'm debating whether I should call up O Cruz to start the season. I have Hoskins at DH, and feel Cruz is probably an upgrade. But I'd burn minor league eligibility, and I feel like maybe I should wait to see how Hoskins does
Justin Mason
10:59
Bring up Cruz
Dave

How soon are you cutting bait on guys you picked late in drafts/as a pre-season waiver add?  A week? ~50 or 100 PAs?  Any particular things you're looking at to make the decision?
Justin Mason
11:00
Anyone drafted in the back half of your roster can be cut immediately. I am looking at core skills. Contact rates, swinging strike rates, walks, exit and pitch velocities.

What makes a player differently valuable in H2H vs roto? Is it mostly just streakyness?
