Still makes good contact in that time frame and has a 13% barrel rate. .231 BABIP hurting him
Funny Business

Is there a term for when you drop a guy and he goes off the next day or you pick up a player on a heater and he strikes out 3-4 times in the first game?  I feel like these situations should be called something.
Justin Mason
11:56
We call that a Sporer Special

Is Luis Ortiz worth the time in a 10 team mixed?
Justin Mason
11:56
I think he is a streamer in that size league

So Kershaw over Scherzer ROS for a trade?
Justin Mason
11:57
yes
Kris Bubic
11:57
Will I be fantasy relevant as either a starter or a reliever this year in a Svs+Holds league? I'm a good spec play, right?
Justin Mason
11:57
No

Thoughts on Alex Cobb and/or Starling Marte coming back from IL?
Justin Mason
11:57
Cobb looked good in his last rehab start. I picked him up in a number of leagues last week.
Haven't been tracking Marte though
JG
11:58
Birdsong stay in the rotation with Ray & Cobb coming back ?
Justin Mason
11:58
I think it is pretty though for him unless he shoves his next start or there is an injury
Timmy

Thoughts on Chourio, can he be a trusted option in 12 teams going forward?
Justin Mason
11:58
I think there will be ups and downs, but I would gamble on his upside.
Nova Knicks
11:58
Do you see Robert Garcia or Jason Adam getting the closing gig after deadline?
Justin Mason
11:59
I think both could but Garcia is more likely.

Robles or Bader, OBP
Justin Mason

Robles

Is Christian Scott worth holding for rest of season?
Justin Mason
11:59
yes
Jazz

If Chisholm gets traded, then odds he adds 2B eligibility for next year?
Justin Mason
11:59
60%
just depends on where he goes
Long question.

In my AL Only league we draft prospects (can keep 9 as a "taxi squad"). These don't need to be activated until they hit 50IP or 150AB. My pitching has been awful and I'm close to packing it in and selling for next year. I've got Drew Thorpe. Would you activate him? (He seems likely to hit 50IP this season, the risk is if he gets hurt and doesn't I'll have to decide to keep or cut him as part of my 9 regular keepers next year instead of taxi squad).
Justin Mason
12:00
If you are close to packing it in, I wouldn't

Will David Hamilton be a regular for Boston next season. Trying to determine if he would be a good keeper.
Justin Mason
12:00
I think he should be
JLPicard
12:00
Hey, thanks for the chats. 7x7 keep 10. I ship Burnes for Castillo, Semien & and an early pick. Pieces going back are non keepers, in my opinion. Thanks again
Justin Mason
12:00
I would do that
$16 Rooker

12 Team AL Only keeper ($260 budget). How nervous ought I be about Brent Rooker getting traded to an NL team? Does the concern make him tradeable in the (likely) event I am a seller this year?
Justin Mason
12:01
Yeah, they have to trade him and I have no idea where he goes.
12T Points

For end of bench guys, how would you rank Luis Ortiz, Christian Scott, Bobby Miller, River Ryan? Hesitant to cut Bobby based on perceived upside - Scott has had some decent hype but not much results to show for it.
Justin Mason
12:01
Miller, Ortiz, Scott, Ryan

16tm Dynasty - just lost Fried (who is unlikely to be a keeper next year). In contention, with a decent rotation around him, but don't want to rest on our laurels. Also have been trying to patch up C2 for a while now. Would you rather trade for Gausman/Big Dumper or Baz/Realmuto?
Justin Mason
12:02
Gausman side
AL-only Hamlet
12:02
To trade my trade-rumored players, or not to trade them, that is the question:

Whether tis nobler to suffer the outrageous fortune of Crochet to the Dodgers and Rooker to the Phillies,

Or to take arms against a sea of rumors and by dumping my players, end them.

To trade, perchance to fleece - ay, there's the rub:

For in that trade what fleecings may come

When Eflin shuffles off this AL-only coil

But that dread, of something after the deadline

The undiscovered country, from whose bourn

Only NL-players return, puzzles the will

And makes us rather bear the ill rumors we have

Than fly to others that we know not of.
Justin Mason
12:02
This is beautifully written. I don't know if it is a question, but I do love it
Zorro

Rather River Ryan in a 14 team redraft H2h or Schwellenbach?
