Buying a power rebound for Julio Rodriguez?

Justin Mason

9:26

I am. I think he will be fine.

Jeff

Confidence level in Royce Lewis this year? Feels like the range of outcomes for him is wider than any other player.

Justin Mason

9:27

On a per plate appearance basis, he is a stud. I just don't know if we can trust him to play 140 games at this point.

I am still taking shots with him though

Mochi

Any long term commitment concerns with Gil in Dynasty? Doesn't feel great thinking about it

Justin Mason

9:28

I worry more about the short term after the massive innings jump. I think long term he can be a very good Sp2/3 in fantasy

Bryan Reynolds worth keeping at $26? 8 team league with a salary cap of $500. Originally I thought he was going to be a drop but it's just rock solid production every single year

Justin Mason

9:28

I think that is a good price

Hold Me

Also, I think quitting smoking might have been the hardest thing I've ever done. Its been almost 11 years now and I still think about smoking 3-5 times a week.
But the pull of doing it is so MUCH LESS now than when I was smoking for me.
Best of luck with your endeavors.

My wife is the one who helped me quit with her constant reminders of how much the smoking stunk me up.
Along with not wanting to go through quitting again, thinking about my kids helps to keep the smoking in the past.

Justin Mason

9:29

I am really hoping it sticks this time. I have been smoking for 30 years off and on with a lot more on time than off. I appreciate the kind words!

Pete

9:29

What do you think of Jared Jones this year?

Justin Mason

9:30

I am a little tentative on him. I really like the stuff, but I do wonder what the innings will look like and if he can keep the command in check consistently.

Jeff

9:30

Follow up on the Lewis question. I can keep him for $14 ($320 budget for 15 players), but I also have a lot of cheap players and wiggle room. Do I look to move Lewis and his cheap salary for a $37 Machado if I can afford to keep him? I expect to compete this year.

Justin Mason

9:30

I would keep him at $14

Mochi

9:30

Think Povich ever ascends past a back end of the rotation guy?

Justin Mason

9:31

Definitely could and with the Orioles not going and getting a stud for the rotation, it is a matter of time before he is in the rotation.

Pop

9:31

Which "Old Reliable" hits the wall this year?

Justin Mason

9:32

That's tough. No one is really jumping to mind. Castellanos maybe? Arozarena?

Resources that help with auctions and NL only leagues are few and far between.
Is my 12 team, NL only Rotisserie league that rare?

Justin Mason

9:32

Tanner Bell's Smart Fantasy Baseball software!

Who is lesser known writer in the industry that you would recommend?

Justin Mason

9:33

Blake Meyer

Idiotic Failson

9:33

Bubba Chandler in the opening day rotation?

Justin Mason

9:33

I don't think so

Jeff

9:33

Giants chance of signing Roki? If not the Giants, please anyone but Dodgers (or Padres).

Justin Mason

9:33

I think there is a 75% chance he is a Dodger or Padres

Mike

9:34

4 keepers in OBP and K/9 league. Have Carroll, Riley, Langford, Crochet, but considering subbing in Vientos, CJ Abrams, or Jarren Duran. Thoughts? No round differences.

Justin Mason

9:34

I would keep Duran over Langford.

Colton

9:34

Have you ever considered an article about your favorite fantasy player to get from each team? Could be some fun content in there

Justin Mason

9:34

I definitely could do something like that! I will add it to my To Be Written list!

Mochi

9:35

Do you think it would be beneficial for you to have Paul not turn his camera on while you're working on quitting smoking since he's shaped like a 100 that Cruella de Vil would stick in a cigarette holder while strolling menacingly through her mansion?

Justin Mason

9:35

OMG! I just spit my drink out
