Josh is getting unlucky. He has a .205 BABIP when he is a career .285 guy. He will be better. Bo needs to go down to AAA. There isn't much in the profile to say he is going to turn things around

seth

10:24

which 2 are you starting out of this quartet: Flaherty @TEX, HGreene vCHC, Eflin @MIA maybe?, Soriano vSD?

Justin Mason

10:24

Flaherty and Greene

O/U on how many games Royce Lewis stays healthy for this go-around?

Justin Mason

10:25

Ted

10:25

What's the deal with your boy Cedric? More specifically, what would you do with him in a 12-teamer? I've got him parked on the bench most nights, but feel like I can't quite drop him (and there's obviously zero trade value)

Justin Mason

10:25

I think it is time to drop him unfortunately. While I think he has to be better than this, in a 12 team league, you shouldn't wait

JayBee

10:25

Has anyone taken a franchise-level statistical approach to injury? How many TJs annually in each system, farm to MLB? How many games lost to hamstring injuries, lat injuries, shoulder injuries? Would that identify franchises that were doing better prevention than others?

Justin Mason

10:26

I think Jeff Zimmerman looked at this in the past. I don't know if there is a current study on it though

Kyle Manzardo

10:26

Should you hold Kyle Manzardo in 12 team redraft leagues?

Justin Mason

10:26

Nope

Peter

10:26

Drop chourio for friedl in h2h category league? Redraft

Justin Mason

10:26

I am ok with that, but I would prefer to keep Chourio

Connor Norby

10:27

What are you thoughts on Connor Norby getting called up?

Justin Mason

10:28

I am kind of in the minority of the industry, but I don't think that Norby is a special of a player for fantasy. He profiles as an accumulator in my opinion and Baltimore has not shown they will automatically play a guy every day just because they bring him up.

Chip

10:28

Need to drop a bat with Royce Lewis off the IL: Vierling, Adell, Langford or Schneider. Tempted to get rid of Adell; his swing and miss has come back.

Justin Mason

10:28

I am ok dropping Adell

Oh No-zarena

10:29

2 months in and Randy A has been riding my bench for weeks. Is it safe to cut bait yet?

Justin Mason

10:29

I wouldn't want to drop him but I understand it in shallow leagues.

Manny Machado

10:29

What to do with me? Wait for 2nd half positive regression or cut bait with other options at 3B

Justin Mason

10:30

I think I am holding Machado. The numbers say he is fine and just needs to elevate a little more. I think he should have a rebound.

Guest

10:31

yay or nay: I have 6 injured players right now for 4 bench and 4 IL spots, and am stashing all of them: O'Neill N.Jones Jung Scherzer Springs Schmidt. if nay which 1-2 are out. OBP/QS

Justin Mason

10:31

I would drop springs. I never really trust guys coming back from TJ in their return.

Guest

10:31

Who has more PAs the rest of the year? Mike Trout or Joey Votto?

Justin Mason

10:31

Trout lol

Blind faith

10:32

Hi Justin. Need a MI for a deep 15 team redraft with standard cats. Please rank from best to least: Masyn Winn, Wisely, David Hamilton, Colt Keith. Thanks.

Justin Mason

10:32

Keith, Winn, Hamilton, Wisely

Prospects: Failed vs. Failing

10:32

Andrew Vaughn, Jon Singleton, Willie Calhoun in OBP league?

Justin Mason

10:32

Vaughn

KC Pain

10:32

Orioles have to make a move, right....right? They are killing their prospect values w this musical chairs routine imo. Cowser looked awesome and now meh. Stowers up and hot but AB once a week. Kjerstad back and forth. The only one who got a legit shot, Holliday, wont be moved but also killed value if he was one of the guys they did want to. Just feels like overmarinating players because they are indulging in their wealth.

Justin Mason

10:33

I hope they package some hitting prospect for pitching. They would make a really good trade partner for anyone looking to move a pitcher and now that Kremer and Means are hurt, they have a need

Eminor3rd

10:33

Will Connor Norby and/or Justyn Henry-Malloy have enough PA and impact to be relevant in a 12-team 6x6 w/ OPS?

Justin Mason

10:33

Probably not

Albies that Endsbies

10:33

Am I going to start hitting? Been brutal since the injury

Justin Mason

10:34

I have to wonder if it is the injury or the deader ball causing guys like Albies to struggle more. Maybe a little of both?

Start Sits

10:35

Which one of these SPs should I sit in roto: Bryce Miller @ KC, Lodolo vs. CHC, or Hicks @ ARI? Leaning sitting Miller due to KC being a pretty scary offense as well as the park…

Justin Mason

10:35

Hicks for me

Flying to Cooper

10:35

Criswell vs. Arrighetti, this week (CWS and STL respectively) and beyond?

Justin Mason

10:35

Criswell

Poteet

10:36

Little Poteet looked great in his first Yankee start. What does he need to show vs. the Dodgers to be an add? Nice team context.
