18 team dynasty 5x5 would you trade Imanaga and J Ortiz for Stanton Schmidt D. Williams and Keller? (need power and pitching depth and have 2B/3B covered)

Justin Mason

10:42

I don't think I would. I think Imanaga is a stud

Vince

Hi! 12-tm H2H category. Olson or Paddack worth holding — this week and beyond? Thanks!

Justin Mason

10:42

I think Olson is

What do the Blue Jays do for a closer if both Garcia and Romano are lost for the season? Either Pearson or Green the answer or do they trade for one?

Justin Mason

10:43

I think Green is the guy

JLPicard

Hey, your thoughts on Pepiot long term in a 6x6 AL Only. Thanks for the chats

Justin Mason

10:44

I really like Pepiot. The skills are really good even if the command has been a little shakier recently. He is definitely a guy I think can emerge in the second half and beyond

KC Pain

10:44

Would you gamble on keeping Dejong and selling Bichette in a 18 team 6x6 dynasty? Ive had some solid offers but am shallow at SS.

Justin Mason

10:44

Really depends on the return. Dejong may end up as another team's back up SS at the deadline

Just traded Ryan McMahon for Austin Riley. Huge upgrade or lateral move?

Justin Mason

10:45

HUGE upgrade

KCBBq

10:45

Who's Boston's SS in 2025.....Hamilton or Mayer.....or someone else?

Justin Mason

10:45

I hope it is Mayer

Hot Corner

10:45

Do you prefer Maikel Garcia or Royce Lewis ROS?

Justin Mason

10:46

Lewis because his upside is so great, but I love Garcia too

Why not Zoidberg?

10:46

Start 2 - Friedl, Langford, O. Cruz, or Joey Ortiz. Who'd you take?

Justin Mason

10:46

Friedl and Cruz

Brian

10:46

Have Alvarez and Jeffers....who do I ride ROS?

Justin Mason

10:46

Alvarez

Jon

10:46

Stashing G Williams on IR. Are you optimistic he can contribute this season? Would likely have to replace either Verlander or Ober? League counts QS, IP, and K/9.

Justin Mason

10:46

I am not optimistic at all. I think this ends very poorly

Hope I am wrong tho

Chuck

10:46

Serious question: Why don't fantasy sites/analysts use K/GS? If I'm considering picking up an SP, I care about how many K's he gets per start, not per inning or percentage of batters faced.

Justin Mason

10:47

I think that is a good question. I can't really answer for the sites but as an analyst, I use what is easily available because I have a ton of research, writing and podcasting available. I would love if things like that were more readily available though

KC Pain

2B prospects - Jung Norby Yorke how would you rank?

Justin Mason

10:48

Jung, Yorke, Norby

Donnie Baseball

10:48

Is there any hope for Arenado, Torres and Arozarena this season? There killing my team.

Justin Mason

10:51

All three of these are pretty grim profiles. Arenado's underlying numbers say he is just hitting the ball a lot less hard which is concerning at his age. Torres' underlying numbers are terrible. Arozarena is at least hitting for some power and stealing bases still, but the underlying numbers are still pretty gross. Wish I had better news for you

KCBBq

10:51

With Jansen only on a 1 year deal and Hendriks on a 2 year deal is Hendriks worth a $1 stash for 2025 in a 12 team AL only H2H keeper league?

Justin Mason

10:51

Yes, I think he could definitely be the guy next season

DOWN GOES MOOKIE!!

10:51

The Dodgers have to be on the phone to the Sox about DeJong, right? Been riding the hot streak and ready to drop at any time but now I might just hold.

Justin Mason

10:51

That is a good point. Definitely could be a match there.

Alright still have a bunch of questions and not much time so I will speed round things the best I can

Not my usual name

10:52

Re: Kirby/Crochet for Elly trade: if I added Mitchell Parker because of the 2 for 1, does it make it any better? I agree it was too much, my process was that I’m hedging on Crochet not staying healthy.

Justin Mason

10:52

Not really

Jonhenry

10:52

Eloy (short sample) looks like he's decreased his K%, upped BB%, 92mph exit velo.....What are your expectations ROS?

Justin Mason

10:52

The biggest issue with Eloy is his health. I don't trust him to stay on the field.

Who is most likely to become Cubs’ closer? Does Alzolay have value this year in redraft?
