Chat will begin shortly. In the meantime, please follow me on all my social media’s (twitter, tiktok, facebook, youtube, bluesky, mastodon, threads, post, and instagram) at JustinMasonFWFB! I am doing regular podcasts on the FWFB podcast as well as three episodes a week for the Sleeper and the Bust so definitely make sure you are subscribed there as well!
10:01
The podcast is running a little late but I will get started shortly

Hi Justin,
Justin Mason
10:05
Hi!
I apologize for the late start
Slapshot
10:05
I don't think I'd consider doing it right now, but if I were to think about trading Tarik Skubal in a roto dynasty format, what kind of hitters should I be targeting?
Justin Mason
10:05
If I was moving Skubal, I would want a top 20 hitter maybe even top 10
Half man, half Manzardo
10:05
Manzardo: yay, nay or just wai(t)
Justin Mason
10:06
I dropped him in one of my 15 team auctions this week. I just don't know that there is enough playing time or punch for him to be a difference maker and stash this season
cool 1

Do you trust or believe in Christian Javier?
Justin Mason
10:08
I am a believer in Javier to a point. I think the control is the scary part and there will be blowups like we saw versus Detroit, but the stuff is really good and outside of that one start he is showing that he can go deep consistently in games
The Hamburgler
10:08
Who will be better ROS: Joey Ortiz or Luis Matos?  

Also, did Jake Burger rush back from injury - he's been AWFUL.  Any signs of turning things around?
Justin Mason
10:08
Ortiz
10:09
As far as burger goes, he is making very good zone contact right now and he does hit the ball hard. I think I am holding and just putting him on my bench for now.

Hi Justin, thanks for the chat. Broke the bank on Bello in FAAb last night. $125 bid 12 team. Will he be a difference maker? Staff is Wheeler, Valdez, Bryce Miller, Bello, Stone, Pfaadt, Braxton Garrett, Sandoval, Helsey, Suarez, Seawald and Reed Garrett. Thanks
Justin Mason
10:11
I really like Bello, but he is inconsistent and the stuff hasn't translated to swing and miss. I think at worst he is a SP4/5 which means he has value in a 12 teamer, but I want to believe there is more upside in his arm and I just don't know if he will actually show it this season
O knows
10:11
Before you laugh and hang up, Gunnar Henderson is the truth. Ceiling?
Justin Mason
10:13
Henderson is so interesting because I worried about his ability to hit lefties coming into the season, but he is crushing them and struggling more against righties this season. I think he has been unlucky against righties and lucky against lefties tbh. If he can even be league average against southpaws when he regresses there, he can be a stud. like a potential 40/20 bat.
tyler black
10:13
how much longer until i'm a mainstay in the lineup?  what do you think of me?
Justin Mason
10:15
It think he is a really interesting long term fantasy guy because of his speed, but the problem is that I don't know where he plays this year. If the Brewers continue to compete as they look like they will, it is unlikely that Adames gets moved which means Black can't find time in the lineup. Probably more of a 2025 play than this season
B'ryce Hammer
10:15
Luis Matos... smoke or fire?
Justin Mason
10:16
Maybe a little of both. He isn't the player we saw on Friday and Saturday, but he does make good contact in the zone and he is a good centerfielder on a team that needs one with Lee out for the season. However, the Giants don't run which is where Matos can contribute in fantasy and he doesn't walk so it is hard to see him moving up the lineup a ton. Deep league guy only
RAGBRAI
10:16
Is JJones for KMartel a fair trade or is one side giving up to much? How about Jones for Yelich?
Justin Mason
10:17
I want Jones in both of these scenarios , but the Yelich one is more equal if I need a hitter.
Frozen Rope
10:17
Parker Meadows is raking in AAA - is he a good buy low/stash?
Justin Mason
10:17
I think he is if he can find regular playing time in the Majors. I have always liked the profile
FDR
10:17
Dropped Mountcastle for Gimenez. 10tm H2H, 5x5. How high are you on Gimenez rest of season? Thanks!
Justin Mason
10:18
I am fine with this type of move in a 10. I think Gimienez is a 15/30 type guy that won't light the world on fire but is a really good fantasy option.
Dave
10:18
Any point in hanging onto Esteury Ruiz? I’d be satisfied with just one steal a week, but we’re not even getting that.
Justin Mason
10:18
I think he is an easy drop rn
Matt
10:19
12 team OBP/TB roto...Ian Happ droppable at this point?
Justin Mason
10:19
I think he definitely is a drop
Adenolith
10:19
Is this Turang's real level? I keep thinking I'm going to want to sell high and he keeps hitting and stealing bags.
Justin Mason
10:20
I think he is. A great defender that makes a ton of contact and steals bases.
Kate
10:20
Pick two of these three to start this week in a roto league with innings as a category rather than wins: Ryan Weathers (vs. MIL, @ ARI), Marsh (vs. DET), Severino (vs. SFG)
Justin Mason
10:20
Marsh and Severino
Matt
10:20
Turnbull worth stashing for another shot at starting? Or dropable?
Justin Mason
10:20
drop
Broken Bat
10:20
is bringing up Vaughn by RedSox a good idea, or does he need more time in aaa? Struggling….
Justin Mason
10:21
I saw a report that while he was on the IL he got sick and lost a bunch of weight. May be the reason he is struggling right now. I don't mind dropping him.
