Would you hold onto Fedde in a 10tm?
Justin Mason
10:00
I think he should be a team streamer at worst in a 10-team league.
Dave
10:00
I have O'Hoppe slotted in at C right now, with Willson Contreras poised to come off the IL in a 1-C league.  Which one would you be looking to deal?
Justin Mason
10:01
I would try and see what I could get for O'Hoppe, but at the end of the day, in a 1-catcher format, the difference between the two is small enough that I would probably shop both and see what the returns look like so I could maximize value.
Jim Leyland Palmer
10:01
Is Noelvi Marte an all formats pick up?
Justin Mason
10:02
Absolutely. I think he should play regularly once he is on the roster.
Adenolith

Small h2h league - would you be taking Loperfido or Nolan Jones?
Justin Mason
10:02
I think for me it is Jones. I just don't know what Lopefido's playing time looks like once Kyle Tucker returns.
Mason Jar Head
10:03
Looking for wins and ratios, strikeouts don't matter. Can start 3. Any thoughts? Skubal vs Phi & @LAA, Ragans vs MIA & CLE, Crochet vs LAD & COL, Grayson vs CLE, B. Miller @ CHW, Skenes @ ATL, and Flaherty @Phi.
Justin Mason
10:03
Ragans, Skubal, Miller
Steven
10:04
Thoughts on Hunter Goodman? Can we
Justin Mason
10:04
He is surprisingly making good in zone contact so while this may be an extended hot streak, I think we should be riding it for right now. Playing time should be safe for the time being because of the Rockies injuries.
DH
10:05
16 team league - how likely are the following prospects to have an impact this season? Holliday, J. Walker, Caissie, Festa
Justin Mason
10:06
I think Holliday and Walker will definitely be up and making an impact at some point. Festa likely comes up if there is an injury in the rotation, but his impact will likely be determined by his command and control.
DH
10:07
What the heck are the Rays doing with Shane Baz?
Justin Mason
10:07
I honestly don't know. Always hard to predict what the Rays are going to do with their young players. I would hope he is up soon.

I am commissioner of a redraft espn points league where people lose interest pretty quickly each year I charge each person $50 to participate, so I benefit because it’s easy money for me. The question, it it ethical for me to keep running this league? Everyone participates in the live draft, so there aren’t completely zombie teams. And thy choose to opt in each year and do play for a few weeks. So I’m not being a total *******. On the other hand, it’s not really as competitive as if I found new owners so maybe I’m violating the spirit of fantasy baseball
Justin Mason
10:09
This is a really good question. If the same people keep signing up year after year, then I don't really see the problem. Maybe you need to step up into higher competition if it boring you. At the end of the day, people get what they want from it. Maybe for your league mates, it is more about having fun with their friends at the draft and for you it is more about winning. If you are happy with winning and they are happy with drafting, is there really a problem?
Roster set up
10:10
6x6 (hld, nsv), 3 sp, 3 rp, 5 p, 6 bench. Started the season with 8 starters, 8 relievers, but have made a lot of nice sp pick ups and am now at 10-6. Am I just giving away the relieving cats? Or good to rely on solid starting pitching?
Justin Mason
10:11
I prefer to rely on good SP because it tends to be a little more reliable, but if you are losing the relieving categories regularly, maybe it is time to go to 9-7
Tyler Black
10:11
Thoughts on dropping Neto for him in 6x6 (hits and avg) 12 team? Like the Pos versatility (1b,2b,3b) but concerned about playing time
Justin Mason
10:12
Black probably is a strong side platoon bat, but I think he should stick in the lineup at least for a while. If you can use that level of production, I don't think you have to move on.
KC Pain
10:12
18 team dynasty 6x6 would you trade Gausman+Stanton for Trout?
Justin Mason
10:12
I feel like you are giving up too much
LCA
10:12
I need to drop one of Bryce Miller, Ober, or Gore. Leaning Bryce after his latest implosion against Miami, though Ober hasn't been a lot better aside from Oak starts. Thoughts?
Justin Mason
10:13
This is really tough because I like all three. I guess I lean Ober here.
KC Pain
10:13
Is Blanco a top 25 SP ROS? Every time I doubt him he seems to do well.
Justin Mason
10:14
I am not ready to go that high, but top 40, yes
Tim
10:14
Im in a 14t H2H dynasty, 7x7 (standard 5, TB, BB) and am ready to move on from Campusano at C, I have Ballesteros stashed. Is there anyone here that has more upside ROS and beyond than Campy while I wait on the Cub?: Goodman, Stephenson, Wells, Naylor, Fermin, Lee; other prospects available are Cartaya, Tait, the injured Quero
Justin Mason
10:14
No, not really
The Stache
10:14
Schneider has been serviceable in my 12T Pts, but has recently been riding the bench more and dropping down the order. Any long term concern or try to ride it out given lack of production from other TOR bats?
Justin Mason
10:15
I have never liked his underlying skills in spite of them slightly improving this season. I have no problem moving on.
Bdubs
10:15
Can only keep 2, need steals in a very bunched category. In a vacuum, keep which 2 ROS : Josh Lowe (on WW), Happ, or NMarte (current stash and would have to bench Bregman when called up). Thx!
Justin Mason
10:15
Marte
Gary
10:15
Last year guys like Olsen and Mize emerged as successful late season pickups. Do you see anyone on the horizon who could provide a boost ex: Christian Scott? come playoff time
Justin Mason
10:18
I really like Scott, but I just don't know how the Mets use him down the stretch as a rebuilding team. I like Spencer Schwellenbach and Brandon Pfaadt as names that have been better than the surface numbers have suggested
KC Pain
10:18
Are there any players you are targeted as buy lows because you feel confident they will be traded and it will greatly benefit the player?
Justin Mason
10:22
Hard to know who will be sellers in this market right now because of the added playoff teams. White Sox players for sure, so Robert, Crochet, and Fedde are options. I think The Blue Jays could be sellers, so Kikuchi and maybe Bichette if they decide they won't get an extension done. Maybe Carlos Estevez gets moved to a better team? Brandon Finnegan should get moved so Hunter Harvey could be the closer in Washington. Paul Goldschmidt could be a big bat that improves his stock with a trade. Michael Conforto?
Batman
10:22
Heston Kjerstad is up again. Does he 1. Get enough playing time to roster? 2. Play well enough to be rostered?
