It is so hard to tell what the Orioles will do with him. I would love to think the Orioles will give him full run, but we saw last time around that they are ok just letting him (and other prospects) just sit on the bench and then go back down.

what to do with vinnie p? 12m tm h2h league. 1B slot is already covered so he would have to fill a UTIL slot which he hasnt been doing. how do you feel about cutting? we can only use the BABIP excuse for so long, right!?
Justin Mason
10:24
I still believe in Vinnie P. He is hitting the ball hard and making great in zone contact. I may go to my grave believing he will be great and never actually see it, but I am not giving up on him.

Re the guy with the $50 fantasy league - When I was in college I used to play the EA Sports NHL hockey game with some roommates. We'd start a league with a fantasy draft from the beginning. We'd usually get about 10 games into the season and start over. We began to realize the fun for us for whatever reason was just drafting the team - it scratched some weird itch. Anyway - maybe your friends just like and get excited the draft and don't care about the results.

I love this analogy. Sometimes it is not about having fun for the same reasons if you are all still having fun
Why not Zoidberg?
10:26
I'm in first place at 9-4 on the season. I've won 5 matchups with only 5 categories, and only 1 win has come with more than 6 cats. So my question is - would you rather be lucky or good?
Justin Mason
10:26
I would rather be lucky lol

How does Ronel Blanco keep out performing his stuff+, savant etc stats? What is happening re so few hits allowed that the stats are missing, or is it luck?
Justin Mason
10:28
I think having that changeup and being able to throw it as much as he does while mixing in his fastball and slider well helps keep hitters off balance. Sometimes it is not a matter of pure stuff what you mix things well and have good command.

Are the Yankees gonna do some Matt Carptenter Magic on JD Davis
Justin Mason
10:29
Probably not, but they will take the chance for free and then see if they need to make a move at the deadline.

Which 2 would you NOT start 12T Points? Thanks - leaning the last 2. GRod vs Cle, Shota @SF, Ober @Sea, Jared @Atl, King @Bos
Justin Mason

King and Ober

1-C 12-team H2H OBP. My catcher is Jeffers, but he's cooled, and is playing less. On the wire: Sean Murphy, D'Arnaud, Garver, Goodman. Who'd you like ROS?
Justin Mason
10:29
Murphy

In  a keep forever, who do you like moving forward?  Trout or Machado?   I'm in 3rd this year, trying to stay in the money....I might be able to get Trea Turner instead of Machado?  How do you rank for future?   We have 9 catergoires:  singles, 2b, 3rb, HR, RBI, RS, k's, walks, batting average
Justin Mason
10:30
I think I move Trout only because of his health issue and if I am competing this season, I want a guy I believe will be on the field.
Zorro

When Massey comes back I have to decide to activate him or stand pat with Miguel Vargas, Winn, David Hamilton and drop one of these three. 15 team standard redraft H2H. Your thoughts?
Justin Mason
10:31
Drop vargas
Bench Bats

Schneeman vs. Justin Henry-Malloy (OBP league)?
Justin Mason
10:31
Malloy
Ian

Albies for Ober and Junior Caminero..too light for him?
Justin Mason
10:32
I think this is ok
jim

are you holding off on kjerstad in shallower leagues until he has a full time job?
Justin Mason
10:32
yes

its been hard to get a good read on bryson stott. he was great last year, bad to start, hot streak now back to being borderline unusable. is this just who he is? super streaky?
Justin Mason
10:34
I think the bad start isn't indicative of who he is. I think he is a really solid hitter that makes a lot of contact and he will be good rest of the way.
Catcher to Cut
10:34
Cut one (2C OBP league): Kirk, Korey Lee, Austin Wells
Justin Mason
10:34
Kirk
Alex
10:34
Do you think Kjerstad gets enough playing time to be relevant in a 12 teamer?
Justin Mason
10:34
Probably not

Otto 4x4: league is looking at a trade of $48 Freddie Free and a $42 loan for $5 CES and $1 Xavier Issac, going from a low standings team to second place.  If ever is trade is veto worthy, is this not it?
Justin Mason
10:35
I mean I don't like the trade but is it defensible? I think it is. The rebuilding team is looking to shed salary and if he thinks those players are going to be good for his future, I get it.
Idiotic Failson

When do you start selling? I'm in the bottom half of the standings in half of my leagues. I have some decent pieces, but have been hit by random underperformance (Bichette) and injuries (Cole). I really feel like I could either just wait it out or start charging a premium for guys that can help other teams go all in.
Justin Mason
10:37
This is the time I start thinking about it. Take a deep dive into your standings and make an honest assessment of where your team is at. If you think that you should rebuild, get in while the deals are really good, but if you think that your team can rebound and other teams that sell will slide behind you, stay the course
Not my usual name
10:37
Is Kelenic just on a warm streak or has he done something to live up to the hype?
Justin Mason
10:38
I think this is more of a hot streak. While the contact numbers are better over the last 30 days or so, he still has a 15.6% swinging strike rate and he is running a .361 BABIP.
Joey Baggadonuts

12-T H2H points (no penalties for k’s by hitters), keep 9. Do you prefer Josh Lowe or Burleson, both this year and in the future? In the middle of a rebuild, so primarily future-focused, but trying to set myself up for a decent showing in our consolation bracket too. Could potentially acquire either in trade. Thanks!
Justin Mason

Lowe

Who would you rather have ROS: Fry or Willson Contreras?
