Good morning everyone!
10:03
Only three games on the docket today, so that is disappointing, but as my dad always told me, "when faced with disappointment, go ask one of your other kids to do it."

Which one to buy low on Albies or Semien? Actually Hoerner might be easier to get ; But I’m more in need of homers/Rbis.
Justin Mason
10:03
I think if I needed power, I would go with Semien. He tends to have bigger second halves as well.

How would you rank Gleyber, Nico and Gonzales ROS in 12T cats OPS league?

Nico, Gonzales, Gleyber

Stream Arrighetti at BlueJays tomorrow? Deep 12T Roto
Justin Mason
10:04
I think that is very borderline. Lot of risk in his lack of control. I am rolling him in a couple 15's so if the other options you have are bad, I get it.

How do we feel about streaming Kyle Gibson this week? Gets pitt and was
Justin Mason
10:05
I don't feel great about it tbh. I think Gibson is a low upside, low floor kind of guy even with good matchups.

I’ve got too many infielders, who would you drop between Gelof, Hamilton, Noelvi, maikel Garcia, Gimenez in a 12 tm OPS categories league?
Justin Mason
10:05
Gelof
Jimmy Timber
10:06
(OC) Flush w/ good SP matchups this week. Bench one of Tanner Scott (3vBOS 3vCWS), Megill (4@COL 3@LAD) and Mason (3vLAA 3BAL)
Justin Mason
10:06
I think it is between Megill and Scott for the bench. I tend to worry about Megill's matchups here and go with Scott.

Hi Justin...thanks for these weekly chats!  I'm in need of an Avg boost in an AL-only, 4x4 Roto (no Runs category, and it's net SBs) keeper league.  I'm good in HR and RBIs, could move up in net SBs.  I'm in 2nd place and the guy in 4th place has needs almost opposite of mine.  His Kwan + Raleigh for my Adolis + Korey Lee...fair?  Kwan and Raleigh can't be protected next year, and Adolis ($33) and Lee ($1) can be protected.
Justin Mason
10:07
I think this addresses what your team needs are so I am ok with it.

What do you expect for Wood and Noelvi?
Justin Mason
10:08
I think both have stud potential, but we have seen with numerous prospects that it doesn't always translate into numbers right away. I tend to believe more in Wood because the skills are just so good.
Greg

I need to make room on my roster and am looking at cutting either Maikel Garcia or David Hamilton. Who would you rather keep as a backup SS/UTIL ROS? They’ve both had a bad couple of weeks but Garcia’s BABIP makes me think he’s the better player to roster?
Justin Mason
10:09
I think I lean Garcia unless you really need the SBs that Hamilton gives. I do think both will be good ROS though
Guest

Would you rather have DeGrom, Springs or Senga?
Justin Mason
10:09
deGrom

In 12 tm, traditional 4x4 roto, Josh Smith or India ROS?
Justin Mason

Hi. Season-long, mixed, 12-team, 5X5. I have Jon Gray with Matt Waldron, Jordan Montgomery, and Jameson Tallion available. Are any worth a move to replace Gray? Thanks.
Justin Mason
10:10
Give me Waldron
Waiting Game
10:10
No question, just an observation that for those of us in "-Only" leagues this is a stressful time of the year.  Waiting to see if any of my players get dealt out of the AL in into the NL.  Of course, there's always the reverse, but in our league NLers getting added to the AL player pool are able to be claimed in reverse order of standings and I'm currently 2/12 so fat chance I'll get to grab any solid adds that way.
Justin Mason
10:11
I think all AL/NL Only leagues should move to allowing teams that have players traded to the other league midseason being allowed to continue to roster those players. No reason titles should be won or lost because of an unforeseen trade.

With so many youngsters struggling this season, expectations for Wood? Could we also see Crews up this summer for WAS?
Justin Mason
10:12
Honestly, I am shocked they brought up Wood and didn't preserve his rookie eligibility. If they consider themselves playoff contender, why wouldn't they bring up Crews at some point too?
KC Pain
10:12
How do you view Joey Ortiz in dynasty, 18 teamer, 6x6?  I keep looking at his numbers and projections and seems like a .270 15 maybe 20 HR type and a handful of steals?  I have someone trying to trade him to me for Schmidt+Amador.
Justin Mason
10:13
I see him as a 10-15 homer guy with a good average and 15 SBs. I don't mind that deal, but I really like Schmidt when he gets healthy.
KC Pain
10:13
Do you think Mayo is in the majors either on his team or another by August?
Justin Mason
10:14
I would hope so. I think he should have been up already
Jh
10:14
Bichette, bad luck or bad year?
Justin Mason
10:14
Both. I have to wonder how much the deader ball has had an effect on him. He doesn't strike the ball super hard and it feels like he just doesn't have the power to overcome it.
Miller Time
10:14
How scared should I be to start Bryce Miller vs BAL this week? He got torched by them earlier this season and generally seems to have a penchant for getting blown up by the better offenses
