Over/Under 115 innings for deGrom this season
Justin Mason
12:36
Over
but barely
T-Bone

Damn fat fingers. 16 team 5x5 roto, S+H instead of saves, OBP instead of AVG. 2C. 6 keepers. I will be keeping Betts and DeGrom. Trying to decide on last 4, with R. Blanco, J. Flaherty, L.Gil, E. Suarez, C. Cowser, T. O'Neill, and L. Roberts Jr as options. Trying to balance risk/reward with a lot of risk in there it seems to me.
Justin Mason
12:37
Flaherty, Robert, and praying a lot
Gil and Cowser too

Who is this year's Skubal in your eyes. Ie a young pitcher who showed progression who can make the leap to stardom (not counting Skenes)
Justin Mason
12:39
I guess I shouldn't say Crochet since he is already a top 5-10 SP this year. Michael King, Bryce Miller, Bailey Ober, Jared Jones, Shane Baz. I want to add in Spencer Schwellenbach and Tanner Bibee, but I don't know if they have the K upside you are looking for but both are studs.

How much of PitchCon did you watch? Had to miss Friday so can't wait for the recording to be posted
Justin Mason
12:40
I haven't watched much. I will definitely be watching the replays though

12 team 25 keepers league. I have Mookie and Westburg for 2b. Would you trade Mookie for Kristian Campbell, Crochet and Kirby? Im trying to improve my pitching.
Justin Mason
12:40
yes
Joe

Thoughts on Sandy Alcantara coming back from TJ? In a keeper league where guys on your roster that weren’t drafted the previous get their keeper prices set by ADP this year with a cutoff date in mid-March. Smart to lock Alcantara into an early teens keeper price even if this year not fully back to elite level?
Justin Mason
12:41
I don't love doing that but I understand wanting to. I just think you give up too much value this year, but if you aren't competiting this season, I would consider it.
Todd
12:41
You signed off in a earlier trade question of mine with trading Gilbert/Ober to get Tucker.  Also been offered same deal for Acuna....Tucker or Acuna?
Justin Mason
12:42
Acuna especially if I can put him on the IL and replace him easily.
Colton

How much positive regression will there be with the A's bats in this new park you think?
Justin Mason
12:43
I think it will be a fair amount, but not crazy. My understanding is while this is a minor league park, it was one of the more pitcher friendly ones in the PCL. I would expect it plays more neutrally than people might expect. That being said, going from the worst park in baseball to hit in to a neutral park might be huge for some of their hitters.
Ed
12:43
My last SP keeper is down to Ober or Schwellenbach...thoughts?
Justin Mason
12:43
That is like asking me to choose between children. Schwellenbach
Wood
12:44
Who are some late round bat targets (picks 300-400+) you like in a points league?
Justin Mason
12:45
Matt Wallner, Spencer Horwitz, Joey Ortiz, Thairo Estrada, Gavin Lux, Johnny DeLuca, Pavin Smith, Max Kepler, Brooks Lee, Michael Massey. Jose Miranda
Phillip

Happy Monday! NL only Keeper league for 5X5. Nootbaar and Jesus Sanchez have big upside (Statcast is awash in red aside from Jesus's whiff rates). Would you trade Christopher Sanchez to acquire both? That would put me over 250 HR's and 220 SB's which should be enough to win both categories. With all the pitching to be at the auction table I figure I could replace him with Schwell or someone else. I need another take....
Justin Mason
12:46
I would be for this deal

How bad have Alonso and Boras played this offseason?
Justin Mason
12:47
Pretty terribly. I hope he gets paid, but it is not going to be close to what he thought it would be
Jimmy Hoffa
12:47
Any pitchers that changed teams, finished strong, tired down the stretch to suppress overall numbers, or are learning new pitches who could take a leap forward?
Justin Mason
12:47
Ask me next week after I am a week into my pitching projections.
Just so you know
12:47
Langford is going off this year.
Justin Mason
12:47
I hope you are right
Ed

Caminero worth keeping for this season at $13?  8 team AL only
Justin Mason
12:47
I think so
CjBaseball16
12:48
I feel like 2B in the AL is a relative dumpster fire. Agree or disagree?
Justin Mason
12:48
It definitely drops off but there are some interesting guys there. Colt Keith, Jonathan India, Kristian Campbell, Michael Massey

Do any of these catchers get 100 starts behind the plate in Pittsburgh: Bart, Davis, Endy Rodriguez?
Justin Mason
12:49
no
Britton
12:50
Hey Justin! 6th overall pick in draft and hold 5X5.  Gunnar went 5th.  I want to pick Betts instead of Soto, JRam, Corbin, Tucker.  Mistake?
Justin Mason
12:50
I am taking JRam or Soto all day there
Tim
12:51
14 team 25 keeper, I have Henry Davis, Harry Ford and Blake Mitchell as catching prospects for you believe any will be solid what’s your ranking on them. Could also add Jackson Holliday should I or overhyped
Justin Mason
12:53
I will be real honest and I don't care much for catching prospects. It is just really hard for them to learn the position and work on their hitting coming up through the minors. Harry Ford looks like he could be a monster but who knows. I like Mitchell buthe is so far away. I think Holliday is fairly hyped right now. I think if anything maybe a little overhyped for fantasy.
