Vargas
Yankee E
10:16
In a league where saves and holds are separate categories, start Weaver, Kerkering, or take a chance that Cano is healthy?  Leaning Weaver because he is more important to the Yankees bullpen than Kerkering and thus more opportunities?
Justin Mason
10:16
Weaver

What's the deal with Boegarts this year? Is he just on the downside of his career, or is this just something you chalk up to being a bad year?
Justin Mason
10:18
I think the injury really derailed his season and he has been a bit unlucky. If he was on a 600+ PA pace, we wouldn't be very worried. I think he is a bounceback guy next year that will be affordable
Rickey

thanks for these chats. Appreciate these and all the podcasts.
Justin Mason
10:19
I appreciate you all coming in and chatting with me! Though, I do need more questions
JG
10:19
Varsho has a bad back
Justin Mason
10:20
Definitely want to make sure he is in the lineup tomorrow. If he isn't or you need to make a decision today, go elsewhere
TC
10:20
Should I start Maikel Garcia or Xavier Edwards?
Justin Mason
10:20
Edwards
Tough Matchups
10:20
Thank you for these chats as always, Justin. H2H Categories: Webb @ BAL or Bryce Miller vs. NYY? I would normally default to Webb here, but he has been scuffling of late while Miller has pitched well, particularly at home. On the other hand, the Yankees offense has been performing a fair bit better than Baltimore's...
Justin Mason
10:22
I think I lean Webb here because of the park and Baltimore struggling offensively. I think you are less likely to get a blowup while going up against the Yankees is scary.
Question Asker
10:22
Where are you buying Bobby Miller next season? Is he a good bounce back candidate or a Dustin May redux?
Justin Mason
10:23
I think for me it is going to depend on what the price is to buy back in. I am not ready to believe he is broken or forgot how to pitch. I am hoping he revamps in the offseason and gets back to who we think he can be.

How would you rank Bradford vs Kumar Rocker as single start streamers this week?
Justin Mason
10:23
Depends on what you need. K's for Rocker could be fantastic, but I don't think he goes deep enough to qualify for a win.
Question Asker
10:23
Chris Sale is drafted as the X best SP off the board next year?
Justin Mason
10:23
Top 10 for sure.
Broken Bat
10:23
Response to my ? Agree they have offense. May, Buelher, Ryan, all broke down.
Justin Mason
10:24
I don't know that you can necessarily blame the organization for that though. I think it is a lot of bad luck on those guys
John
10:24
Saves+Holds format.  Tinoco in MIA?
Justin Mason
10:24
I picked him up for a few saves down the stretch. The problem is Miami isn't good so the upside is limited over the last two weeks.
Idiotic Failson
10:25
Is Erceg the Royals closer next year?
Justin Mason
10:25
I think he is. Unless they sign or trade for someone
which is unlikely.
Rick
10:25
Uceta (TB) still the guy for Saves and Holds?  Know he was suspended and that he's back.  Did he lose any mojo?
Justin Mason
10:26
I think it is still a fluid situation in Tampa. Manuel Rodriguez and Uceta will likely share
Question Asker
10:26
What happened to Austin Riley this year?
Justin Mason
10:27
Missing time with injury and some poor luck. The underlying numbers don't really point to anything other than that. Buy back next season for me
Question Asker
10:27
How’re your leagues going this year?
Justin Mason
10:28
So of my 11 Faab leagues, I am in the top 4 of all of them. Some of them are pretty precarious in terms of cashing or not so these next few weeks are going to be stressful. I didn't fair well in my draft and holds or gladiators (bestball). I am only going to cash in one Gladiator, though I will win that one. So I will be reworking those in the offseason
Tom
10:29
C. Santana or Arenado ROS?  Need HR and RBI
Justin Mason
10:29
Santana
Timmy
10:30
Do you trust O's to keep playing Mullins vs LHP?
Justin Mason
10:32
I think probably not. He is hitting better against them in the second half, but he also hasn't been there a lot against them and they now have a ton of talent to pivot to
Pat Listachio
10:32
On your gladiator, what does your team look like? I’ve never done and was wondering whether it’s even possible to have a full playable roster by the end.
Justin Mason
10:34
My pitching staff is fairly beat up with both Means and Paxton on the IL and I am out of closers because I drafted Bendar and Scott Barlow when there was talk Clase might get moved, but my offense has carried me and I have Wheeler, Imanaga, and Bryce Miller
Question Asker
10:34
In dynasty leagues, do you prefer leagues where prospects are picked up throughout the year, or where prospects can only be added once or twice a year via draft?
Justin Mason
10:35
I like being able to pick them up in season except for the players that have recently been drafted into MLB. One of my leagues has a rule that you can't pick them up if they aren't in the system by Memorial Day and I like that
