Probably hangs in AAA

Still love Pasquantino's underlying #s. But will good results ever follow?
Justin Mason
10:16
I may go to my grave believing in Vinnie P, but I have to trust that the core skills will translate at some point.

Toglia had another huge day yesterday. The barrel rate is fantastica and the plate discipline numbers have improved enough that it seems like he could stick.  How much of the awful AVG / OBP is bad luck (.180 BABIP!) and how much of that is just a bad hit tool / approach?  Where do you think his true talent ends up in terms of AVG / OBP?
Justin Mason
10:18
He is definitely getting unlucky. xBA is .244 and he is making close to league average zone contact. I think he could be a .240-.245 hitter with that great pop

Can you rank my RPs for saves after the trade deadline? A. Diaz, Fairbanks, Chapman, Brad Lidge, T. Scott, Hoffman, Puk, Joyce?
Justin Mason
10:19
Diaz, Fairbanks, Hoffman, Puk, Scott, Joyce, Chapman
Point awarded for throwing lidge in there!

Is there hope for Gleyber turning things around and having the type of second half we'd expect? Say it's going to happen...
Justin Mason
10:21
He is making more in zone contact over the last month which is intriguing. Still not hitting the ball very hard though. Maybe he is better, but still not the guy he was previously?

Thanks as always.  I traded Flaherty for Francisco Alvarez in a long term 12 team keeper.  Did I do meh? Good? Or Great?
Justin Mason
10:21
Good

What to expect from Jared Jones ROS?
Justin Mason
10:22
Hard to know with the injury and the Pirates likely managing him down the stretch. Really depends on how Pittsburgh fairs as a team. If they are competitive, then they could let him go a bit more than I would normally expect.

How worried are you about Rodon?  Last couple weeks have been awful, but he's still getting a ton of whiffs and the velo had been good.
Justin Mason
10:24
I am pretty worried whenever Rodon struggles because of his health track record. The velo has been there, but the command and control have not. I worry there is an injury again

Rank S.Horwitz, X.Edwards, Brooks Lee rest of season?
Justin Mason
10:24
Horwitz, Lee, Edwards

Want to add Toglia for the next week cuz 6 warm weather games at Coors, but not sure who to drop between Gleyber, Gimenez, or Castro.
Justin Mason
10:24
Gleyber

12 team mixed weekly H2H - I am still holding on to Goldy and hoping he'll be reliable come playoff time.  Is this a smart move?  Wondering if guys like Lawrence Butler and Toglia are worth grabbing over him.  Thank you
Justin Mason
10:24
I would still hold Goldy

Has there ever been a study done on HR/PA changes for people who participate in the homerun derby? Personally, I dont think it matters to their "2nd half" if they participated.
Justin Mason
10:26
I believe there has been but it was a while ago. I think while the data showed that the was a dip in the second half, I think it can be attributed to the majority of HR Derby participants having big first halves which is why they are often chosen for the contest in the first place and that the dips were often just natural regression and not attributed to the contest itself

Two Arizona guys - are Jordan Montgomery or Eduardo Rodrigues reasonable guys to add and stash on IL for second half?  Do you expect either to make an impact?
Justin Mason
10:28
As much as I loved Monty coming into the season, I don't think I would gamble on him as a stash. He has just looked so bad that I think it is a lost season. E-Rod is interesting and I did have him in a number of my bid groups but ended up getting Joyce or Joe Musgrove over him.
Changes

Any idea which version of the baseball we'll be seeing in the 2nd half?
Justin Mason
10:28
Only God knows

In an 12 team innings cap league, I have 375 innings left. My SPs are Hunter Greene, M. King, Pfaadt, and Jared Jones on IL. I need HRs and RBIs badly, is it wise to offer them in trades and try to stream the rest of the way? I’m doing well in the pitching categories already.
Justin Mason
10:29
Absolutely. Make sure you are doing the math correctly on where you risk losing ground or gaining it, but now is the time to make those moves.

Burleson > Carroll in redraft points league. Y or N?
Justin Mason
10:29
no
Rick M

Think Carson Whisenhunt comes up soon and makes a difference? My SP needs help. Is there another prospect or two that you would stash?
Justin Mason
10:32
I don't think Whisenhunt is an impact arm down the stretch. To be honest I don't see many impact arms coming up this year, but I also am not a prospect guy
Spencer

Rece Hinds thoughts....
Justin Mason
10:32
Loud tools, but needs to make more consistent contact. Worthy gamble that I took a shot on in faab this week, but could end up back in the minors quickly too.
Cliff
10:33
How would you rank the following for the second half?  Pfaadt, Christian Scott, Soriano, Assad, Abbott - should I hold all in a 12 team mixed?
Justin Mason
10:33
Pfaadt, Soriano, Scott, Abbott, Assad
Dan

Cedric Mullins hit .286/.329/.520 in June with 5 SB, then got back to being terrible. RoS projections show 8 HR, 12 SB in a part-time role in the second half. You jumping back on if he's free? Thanks
Justin Mason
10:33
Sure, but I am biased on him
