Give me Butler, Greene, Ryan and McClanahan as carry overs. Depending on when your keeper date is, you could switch out McClanahan for McLain depending on either's health

Bido is pretty clearly on the outside looking in for a rotation spot now, right?
Justin Mason
10:32
Looks like it right now, but that could change as he is clearly #6 at worst right now.
Keefths
10:32
Are Coby Mayo and Kjerstad gona get a shot early on ? Seems crowded in Baltimore especially with the addition of Tyler O'Neill ?
Justin Mason
10:34
I think both are probably on the outside looking in, but I could see either getting a shot if the Orioles don't think like Holliday is ready or if they decide that they can get more out of one of them than O'Hearn. The problem is their bench is full with guys without options.

Mason Miller or Josh Naylor in a 15-tm 6x6 roto dynasty league that counts OPS & AVG for hitting, and Saves & Holds as two separate categories?
Justin Mason
10:34
Miller
Ryno
10:34
What about Miller or Bryan Reynolds?
Justin Mason
10:34
I lean Miller here in that deep of a league, but I love Reynolds
Kate
10:35
Think Josh Bell finds something like an everyday role?
Justin Mason
10:36
I think he will get a shot somewhere, but hard to know where and what kind of role until we see where Alonso, Walker, and Goldschmidt sign
Kate
10:36
Trying to think of landing spots for Tanner Scott the get him back into a closer role.  Texas almost makes too much sense to not happen, no?  Their pen is such a clear need.
Justin Mason
10:37
Texas makes a ton of sense. Maybe Washington if they are serious about competing.

10-team NL only keeper. Do I need to at least consider keeping Trevor Megill as a saves option at $5? Raisel at $17 is the other possibility.
Justin Mason
10:38
I would definitely consider both, but Iglesias is way more safe. I think Megill gets a shot to be the guy, but it could be very fluid.
Dodgers Blue

Which Twins dart would you rather throw in a deep league:  David Festa or Zebby Matthews.  ERA/WHIP/Ks all part of the equation.....
Justin Mason
10:38
Festa for me.

With Acuna missing the beginning of the season, does Michael Harris get a bump in rankings if the presumption is him leading off for a month or two?Where do you seeing him hitting after Acuna starts playing?
Justin Mason
10:40
I really just don't love Harris from an approach standpoint. I could see them doing it for a bit, but there is just as good of a chance he is batting sixth or seventh. He hit leadoff in 48 games last year but sixth in 22 games and seventh in 30
2025 prospect class
10:40
What are your expectations for the 2025 rookie class?  Any early favorites for ROY?
Justin Mason
10:43
I think it is a really interesting class depending on when players get called up. Roman Anthony is my clear bet for AL ROY.
10:44
maybe Bubba Chandler in the NL?
k2
10:44
Is there such a thing as having too many pitchers from the same team? 10-team NL only roto, with categories somewhat weighted to overvalue SPs. Going to have Skenes ($5) and Jared Jones ($7). Too much to keep Keller at $15?
Justin Mason
10:45
I don't think that is a major issue except in a situation like this where the team isn't necessarily good. If you believe the Pirates will be much better, than it make sense, but otherwise that is a lot of pitchers on a bad team which won't be good for wins.
mitch
10:45
who do you like better in a 12 team h2h FG pts - jeremy pena or xavier edwards?
Justin Mason
10:45
edwards
Billy

How do you approach valuing pitchers like C Sanchez (boring but reliable groundball, low Ks, high IP) vs Pepiot with a better K/9 ratio, but maybe slightly fewer IP and higher volatility?
Justin Mason
10:46
I run my projections to get the value, but I think this is more of a question of roster construction. You need balance through the categories. Sanchez is a guy I like but that can be bad for your whip so if you have other bad WHIP guys or low strikeout pitchers, than he may not fit your construction.
Dodgers Blue
10:47
Pick one from each group (stats include AVG, OBP, HR, RBI, SB):   2B between Colt Keith and Spencer Horwitz and at MI between Brooks Lee and Jacob Wilson.
Justin Mason
10:47
Keith and Lee
Counting Down the days
10:47
Is the expectation that Sasaki will start in the majors from Day 1?  Is he essentially negotiating this while meeting with teams?  

On a related note, If he blows out his elbow before the season starts and needs TJ, would his time out count towards his MLB service time, or could this push out his FA a couple of years?
Justin Mason
10:47
I think expectation is that he starts in the Majors. As far as the other question goes, it would depend on how the team handled it.
Dude...Sweet
10:48
With Springs shipped out, does this clear a path for Rassmussen to start?  Or is he likely starting in relief until someone gets hurt... should I just be staying away from him regardless?
Justin Mason
10:48
I think he is still being looked at for the bullpen, but I am waiting to see what the team says as we get closer to spring.
Pepper

20 team H2H.  Rebuilding team.   Might be turning the corner.   Tough cuts coming.  Guys like Owen Cassie, Kevin alcantara, Festa, Cade Horton, Sproat, Edward Cabrera and Andrew Vaughn on my bubble.  Do any of these guys leap out as “must keep” or are they fairly fungible?
Justin Mason
10:50
I think a lot of them are borderline. I would want to keep Festa and Cassie tho
Spanky
10:50
Who are the 3 FA or trade targets you are watching most closely right now as there landing spots will dramatically change your rankings or evaluations?
Justin Mason
10:51
Christian Walker- want to see what park/team he ends up with.
Jurickson Profar- Will he end up in a park that helps him?
Jeff Hoffman- What's his role?
Dodgers Blue
10:52
Are teams waiting for someone to blink to start the market on relief pitchers?  I get that most are a dime-a-dozen, but there are some real quality arms out there (Yates, Hoffman, Robertson, Tanner Scott to name a few) that I'm surprised haven't signed already.  These guys should all be easy, no-brainer signings by now, no?
Justin Mason
10:53
I think teams were waiting to see where the tradable players like Williams and Helsley would end up costing. I think we should start seeing movement on them soon.
