So what are we doing with Morel in 12-teamers? I could use some power, but hard to swallow all the 0-fer nights

Justin Mason

10:13

This is who he is. There are going to be a lot of 0-fers but he will also light up the scoresheet in games that remind you why you drafted him. He isn't for the weak of heart.

The Padres with that bullpen, and getting TatIs back…. I would not want to open vs. them in playoffs. Thoughts?

Justin Mason

10:14

I think they are very well set up for a big run especially if Musgrove can come back and give them anything. Could see another Philly/SD NLCS.

Nick

10:14

Thanks for chatting! Thoughts on what to do with Evan Phillips in a 12 team, head-to-head, saves league? He was supposed to be my stud closer coming into the year, so this has been a frustrating season to say the least.

Justin Mason

10:15

I feel like the Dodgers would like to see him be the guy, but at some point the inconsistency becomes a massive problem as the playoffs approach. I don't have a problem moving on in a 12 depending who your other options are

Don Von Handburger

10:15

I have both Estevez and Alvarado from the Phillies bullpen? When I need room, Alvarado is the one to drop, right?

Justin Mason

10:15

I think so.

Nicholas

10:16

I have to start two out of Bassit, Springs, Max Meyer, River Ryan, Tobias Meyers in a 12 team points league, help me select the least worst options??

Justin Mason

10:16

Give me Ryan and the Meyers two start

Colton

Looking for the future in dynasty, Holliday got dropped due to a roster crunch this year and is still available. Do you like him, the resurging Lux or maybe Morel more moving forward?

Justin Mason

10:17

RUN AND GO PICK UP HOLLIDAY NOW

Eric

How are we feeling about Tobias Myers? 1.61 ERA and sub-1.00 WHIP over the last month but pulled early in each of his last two starts. Worth a hold in a 14-T QS league or better to use that spot to stream or RP?

Justin Mason

10:17

I am holding for now

larry

10:18

do you see friedl being a worthwhile roster hold in 12 teams? alternatives would be josh lowe, abreu, parker meadows and lux

Justin Mason

10:18

I think Friedl will be. Underlying contact numbers are good.

how do you handle DTD injuries? I lost Robles' latest combo meal on Friday because I cut after Wednesday. did I do anything wrong in that specific case?

Justin Mason

10:18

Nope, I did the same thing. Sometimes being aggressive backfires, but it is the right process.

Redraft league: should I sell high on Brent Rooker? Or would I have to be high to sell Bent Rooker?

Rooker

10:19

So my $14 Rooker in AL only has survived the trade deadline, still a good possibility that he get's traded this winter. Zimmerman says his research puts it at about 50/50 on which league players get traded to, FWIW - how motivated would you be to move him or keep him? Is he still a "only for a staggering offer" type player?

Justin Mason

10:20

I don't think you should sell on him at this point. Dude just keeps on raking.

I would hold Rooker if it was me. The park they will be in next season should be a massive hitters park and I don't know that he is a guarantee to get moved

larry

does jose miranda stay a full time player with royce lewis back?

Justin Mason

10:21

With the way he has hit, I would expect he is.

Guest

Reynaldo Lopez's elbow asplode, or keep stashing?

Justin Mason

10:21

I think you keep stashing for now.

Why does Fangraphs hate Google Chrome users?

Justin Mason

10:22

I use Chrome and don't have any issues.

Salty

Was there someone you were surprised didn't get traded last week? For me, it was Manzardo since he's blocked at 1B and hitting well again at AAA, but maybe CLE couldn't find the right fit.

Justin Mason

10:23

The Guardians don't like moving cheap assets so that didn't surprise me at all to be honest. To me it was surprising to not see Snell traded. He was coming off of his best start of the season and the Giants aren't competing. I think Snell definitely opts out at the end of the season as well.

Cooper Criswell

12 team points yepez, toglia or mountcastle ROS?

Justin Mason

10:24

Mountcastle

larry

10:24

everyone seems so down on springs after just one start. is it bc of the risk of post-TJ or are the rays really not going to let him pitch much this year?

Justin Mason

10:24

A bit of both. TJ returnees struggle with command and control which lowers the floor. Add in the fact the Rays aren't likely competing here and that they tend to be more conservative.

Marciano has 7 strikeouts in 13 at bats. He hy are Giants forcing this now when a 7-3 next 10 games could get them close in WC? I mean it almost looks like no faith….

Justin Mason

10:26

The Giants need to see where they are at with Luciano to determine whether he can be a regular for them next year. I don't think they expect to be in the race much longer this season.

Re: Tork

10:26

Genuinely curious - what dollar amount would you say is the cutoff for "dart throw"?

Justin Mason

10:26

$5 or less.

How concerning are the recent comments from Casas about still hurting when he swings? I’m feeling like this is shaping up as a lost season
