What do you do when you have too many keepers for available keeper slots? Drastically overpay in a trade to consolidate 2-3 good keepers plus 1 great keeper in exchange 1 even greater keeper)? or release them back into the pool so that you can maybe get them back?
Justin Mason
9:53
Really depends on my league. If I think I can get them back, then I usually just release them, but if I can package them to get a stud, I will

Are the Yankees waiting to move Stroman to address the obvious and ludicrous hole in their infield?
Justin Mason
9:54
I don't think they'd get much back for him to be honest
Mochi

Is this Jordan Walker's last chance to fulfill the hype?
Justin Mason
9:54
Won't be his last chance, but he needs to do something
Bobby Peru

Who is on your do not draft list this year? I get anyone is draftable if the price gets low enough but who are you still avoiding at, say, a 8 round discount or 30% auction discount?
Justin Mason
9:55
I don't typically have a do not draft list. I take guys where I value them. I don't worry about market value very much. If a guy falls to a point where he is a value to me, I take him. If he doesn't, he isn't on my team
Bart

Do you have any sleeper picks for the 2025 FYPD draft?
Justin Mason
9:56
I don't know enough about that yet to say. I follow Matt Thompson for a lot of my FYPD stuff. Chris Clegg, James Anderson, Eric Cross also do great work.
Snorf

For Yamamoto year 2, are you giving him points for added comfort/familiarity or are you more "what we saw is what we'll get" until something convinces you otherwise?
Justin Mason
9:56
I will have more on this in the next week or two. I am going to be digging into the historical data on Japanese pitchers in their second season. To be continued...
Joey
9:57
Any more in the tank for Joey Ortiz? Deep league with OBP and doubles. A few more HR/SBs and a better lineup spot and he could be sneaky good
Justin Mason
9:57
I really don't see much more power coming to be honest. Maybe a few more steals and a better average/OBP
Mochi
9:58
think there's any chance we see Nick Kurtz in Sacramento this year?
Justin Mason
9:58
Nope

Thank Justin.  Appreciate your time today, go luck kicking the ciggys
Justin Mason
9:58
Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Parker Meadows really turned it on towards the end of the season, one of my favorite sleepers.  Anyone else that finished strong that can be had for relatively cheap that you like?
Justin Mason
9:59
Kerry Carpenter, Colt Keith, Jeffrey Springs

Justin I just want to say that you're a machine in your chats, the pace you get through questions is quite astonishing
Justin Mason
10:00
Thank you! I try to get in as many questions as I can!
Snorf

How much are you pushing Lawrence Butler this year? He feels like the guy I'll be interested in but not at those prices who then just lives up to the hype (that was Elly last year)
Justin Mason
10:00
I really love Butler. Made massive strides in making in zone contact without giving up the power to do so. I think he could be in for a massive season
Bart

When I stopped smoking I used a smooth pebble to rub as a substitute for my craving for nicotine.  Good luck in stopping smoking!
Justin Mason
10:01
I have one! Definitely will be using it. Thank you!
Idiotic Failson

Agreed with the chat pace. I feel like I have to scour my fantasy teams to come up with more questions.
Justin Mason
