If the Cubs move to the front of the pack in the NLC with getting Tucker what does each team in the division need to do to keep pace?
Justin Mason
10:47
I don't think it does move them to the front of the pack. I still think the Brewers are better.

Moves that would seperate them from the pack
Brewers sign Bregman
Cubs sign Jeff Hoffman
The Reds sign Santander
The Cardinals sign Jack Flaherty
The Pirates sign Jack Flaherty
I don't think any of these happen fwiw
Squawky

Squaky back, (15 player Roto).  Last keeper, Rengifo $6 or Festa $8?
Justin Mason

Rengifo

What are Bryan Ramos' chances of grabbing a starting role for the White Sox right out of spring training this year?
Justin Mason
10:49
Would need a big spring I could see it happening. Maybe 25%?

Fantasy thinking... What is your ideal top 3 in the yanks order next season with Torres and Soto gone?
Justin Mason
10:52
It won't happen, but give me a Yankees lineup that start like this:

Bellinger
Chisholm
Judge
Goldy
Volpe
It will probably be Volpe, Jazz, Judge

I have Holliday entering year two, will have him through 2027 in a six-keeper, 12 team points league. Worth keeping over Lawrence Butler, Riley Greene or Mark Vientos? (I have Royce Lewis at 3B and Jackson Merrill in the OF
Justin Mason
10:53
I am not keeping him over Butler. Would keep him over the others

I've played rotisserie style fantasy baseball since the beginning.

But what I think would be fun would be running season long simulations. Load up my fantasy league's rosters and generate a 3 game series daily.

Is there a service out there that gets anywhere close to that?

I tried OOTP once and when I turned it on, the OOTP GM for the other 12 teams made a flurry of free agent transactions and messed evything up.
Justin Mason

I don't think there is, but I would love to see it

As a Nats fan and an owner in a 12 team NL only league, my perception is that Josh Bell is done. Am I correct? Even a little?
Justin Mason
10:55
I don't think he is done. He was quietly really good when he covered for Walker in Arizona. He isn't a stud, but he could be decent in washington

I’m always thinking of new rules to keep my friends league fresh and competitive, esp between players who are more active/savvy and those who are more casual. Lately unbalanced trades have been cause for commotion. Initially I took a “laissez faire” approach as commissioner and had everyone deal with the consequences of whatever deal was accepted. After some especially outrageous deals, we switched to a 6/10 veto rule, but it’s also not working well (people voting in their own best interest, veto trolls, etc). The resounding complaint usually being from other owners: “I would’ve sent you more! Why didn’t you shop around?” I had an idea to create a “counteroffer window” after every trade. Once a trade is accepted, it starts a 2 (or 3) day timer during which everyone in the league can make a counteroffer for any player in the original deal. If any counteroffer is accepted, the original deal is nixed and a “new” counteroffer window begins for the new deal. If no counteroffer is accepted, the original deal proces

So I am not a fan of vetos, but I am in a league that has a trade committee and that works out fairly well. Pick people you can trust to do things the right way

What would you like to see your giants do next?

Are you as high on Lawrence Butler next year as the industry tends to be leaning right now?
Justin Mason
10:57
I am. I am a big fan and think a lot of his gains were legit last season
Squawky
10:57
Last one and I'll stop Squaking.  Who would you keep, Winn $3 2-years, Stott $5 1-year.
Justin Mason

Stott

My league (12 team, NL only, auction) uses Wins + Quality starts. We replaced Wins a number of years ago.

With starter Wins and Quality starts decreasing every season, what are Leagues using these days to focus some value on starting pitching?
Justin Mason
10:58
I have seen some leagues go with innings pitched, but I think the correct answer is wins and just adjust to what is happening in MLB. Things will continue to evolve and players need to be able to do that with their strategies and approaches.

thoughts on andre pallante for 2025?
Justin Mason
10:59
boring innings eater that can be a decent DC guy but he allows a ton of contact that could make him a disaster from start to start.
