  1. Don't tweet out you're chatting so your wife can jump in and ask you questions during it.
bibee
10:29
currently in a 5x5 (obp) 12 team keeper league and its a rebuilding season for me, ill spare you all the league details but we keep 8 mlb guys  and 1 minor leaguer each year - do you think it is smart to sell high on bibee now for future draft picks or is he a guy I should try to build pitching staff around? all the pitcher injuries worry me tho and I think I prefer to be hitter heavy for keepers (Kirby would be my only keeper pitcher then)
Justin Mason
10:30
I really like Bibee. I don't think he is an ace, but a pretty safe #2 kind of pitcher moving forward.
KC Pain
10:30
Would you trade Painter and Rice and a 2nd for Vientos?  18 team dynasty 6x6?
Justin Mason
10:30
No

ESPN 10-team points: which 1 batter + 1 pitcher or 2 of the same would you look to consolidate for a better player? I have a couple very willing trade partners Rooker/Buxton/Merrill/Belly and Greene/Waldron/Gausman/Morton
Justin Mason
10:31
Rooker and Morton
love 1
Peter
10:31
Would trading Shota Imanaga or Garett Crochet for Pete Fairbanks be a wise move?
Justin Mason
10:31
I don't think it would
Rob

Are you interested in Davidjohn Herz in a 15 team mixed points? He had that one insane start - small sample, I get it, but the K rate was borderline historic.
Justin Mason
10:33
I think you have to roll with him in a 15 right now. He is getting unlucky in the BABIP and there is a ton of K potential. Yes, the command is an issue and it will continue to be more than likely, but in a points league, he has a ton of value.
Kate
10:33
Is Winker in a platoon now with James Wood coming up?
Justin Mason
10:34
I don't think necessarily, but he will be if he is traded at the deadline.
Woo
10:34
Have Tucker, Harris II, Bednar and Woo injured with only 3 IL. Am I okay holding all of them until Tucker is back? Or shooting myself in the foot? (6x6, sv+hld, h+avg, 12 team, 6 bench spots)
Justin Mason
10:34
I think it is ok to hold all unless you get more injuries.
Wyatt time!
10:34
That's the Wyatt Langford we were looking for!  Been hot since coming off the IL, and last night's cycle was the bomb.  I've got him at $10 in an AL-only 12-team Roto keeper league and looking forward to him anchoring my OF the next few years.
Justin Mason
10:35
Langford has been great since returning from the IL. Before that, he was just getting unlucky. I think the breakout is here. Traded for him in Tout Wars a few weeks ago.
Kate
10:35
Who do you prefer to start this week: Arrighetti in a risky two step (MIN, TOR) coming off a great start or one of what appear to be safer single start weeks for Cannon (MIA) or Albert Suarez (OAK)?
Justin Mason
10:35
Suarez
KC Pain
10:35
How do you feel about rule changes in dynasty?  A league I am of 5 years voted (10 to 8) to up moves from 4 to 8 per week.  Now people are complaining that people are streaming and making too many moves.  They also changed the IL from 10 to 6 .....for idk what reason.  Vote again was 10 to 8.  Now we have one refusing to cut hurt guys and says he doesnt care since he aint winning this year and he aint giving out free talent.
Justin Mason
10:37
I don't have an issue with any of this. Encouraging people to be active in a dynasty league is always good and the guy not wanting to make moves to expose talent is well within his rights. If there was anything I would have been against it would have been the IL spots decreasing. In a dynasty league, you should never have to cut someone you'd like to keep because of injury.
Kate
10:38
Who to start at catcher this week: Melendez, Korey Lee, or Higashioka?
Sorry, forgot to add that's in roto OBP for the catcher question
Justin Mason
10:38
Lee
Colton
10:38
What team would your opinion of change the most if they buy? Cardinals feel like they have to at this point, even with as poor as they've played.
Justin Mason
10:40
I think the Cardinals would definitely be on that list. The Nationals have been sneaky decent this year and with a low payroll and big prospects coming up or soon to come up, they could make some big moves that could vault them into the Wild Card.

What’s up with Semien this year. Has he regressed to an elite accumulator only? Should I try to flip him at his next period of good hitting? Can probably get Crochet with Semien and a mid-pitcher. I have Jordan Westburg as my backup 2B
Justin Mason
10:41
Honestly, I think he has been a bit unlucky and that is about it. I think he will rebound in the second half. If I needed the pitching, I understand flipping him, but you don't need to.
Kate
10:41
What do you think happens with the Rangers pen at the deadline?  Do they move a lot of these vets like Yates, Robertson, etc.?
Justin Mason
10:43
I don't know to be honest. Hard to see the WS champs be sellers at the deadline, but if they don't get hot right now, they might have to. Yates and Robertson would definitely be attractive trade options. LeClerc too since he is a free agent. I still don't think they sell a year after winning a WS

Jonathan India is 5th among 2B in wOBA and 2nd in xwOBA. It looks like he's pulling less but his LD% is up and seems to be benefiting his batting average. If this is an approach/swing change, are you buying into him ROS?
Justin Mason
10:44
I think I am. More in zone contact and a great park to hit in.
Kate
10:45
Is Alexis Diaz in any danger of losing his job?  If so, is Cruz the next man up or someone else?
Justin Mason
10:45
I don't think he is.
Good or mid?
10:46
Pablo Lopez, Joe Ryan, Bryan Miller, Hunter Greene, Ober, Bobby Miller, Eflin, Chris Sanchez, and schwel, woo on IL, Christian Scott on NA. Is this beefed up enough or should I be looking to trade for bigger fish? Also, stream the schwel spot or hold and hope the rough edges smooth out?
Justin Mason
10:47
This is a fantastic rotation. No problem streaming the Schwellenbach spot though I do think he will be good ROS
Another Mariners Collapse
10:47
Is it time to start thinking of unloading Rodon and Houck before their value plummets?
Justin Mason
10:48
I think Houck should be fine as long as this isn't a sign of workload catching up with him. A lot more concerned with Rodon and how he has looked recently.
Too many trades
10:48
How much is too much for Langford in a 12 team redraft h2h? Would you move a stud pitcher who has maybe lost a step (Castillo)? A diff OF who has seemingly fully made the leap? (Greene, Nimmo)?
Justin Mason
10:49
I would be fine with any of those deals. Prefer not to trade the pitcher, but if I had to I would. Nimmo for Langford would be a steal imo
