If, and big if, Royce Lewis stays healthy for 120+ games, what stat line is he putting up?

Justin Mason

2:05

I have him projected for 500 PAs and 27 HR and 6 SBs with a .250 avg.

The sky is the limit though

Home league keeper question
5x5 standard roto, 1 Catcher, 2 UT, NO BENCH, unlimited IL
$260 budget, Keepers $$ stay the same, can be kept for up to three consecutive seasons.

$1 Tyler Glasnow
$1 Shane McLanahan

$9 Julio Rodriguez

Pick (only) two more:
$5 Jasson Dominguez
$10 Lawrence Butler
$1 Brice Turang
$11 Jackson Chourio
$10 Josh Lowe
$10 Jordan Westburg

Justin Mason

Butler and Chourio

In a 5x5 H2H OBP league. Looking at later 3B options, who do you like better between Muncy and Parades as cheaper options at the position?

Justin Mason

2:07

It's close but I think I lean Paredes for health reasons

and age

Adam

2:07

If Kepler stays healthy, are you high on him? I don’t have a good feeling for some reason

Justin Mason

2:08

I love Kepler, but I worry he gets platooned and there isn't much room for him to move up the lineup.

Hi Justin, 8-team NFBC roster keeper with OBP and QS instead of BA and W. Keep three out of the following: L. Butler $1, Glasnow $6, GRod $1, Robert Jr. $1, H. Brown $1, Yelich $9. Thank you!

Justin Mason

2:09

Butler, Glasnow, Robert

Zack Gelof- am I taking crazy pills, or everyone just looking at "20/20" potential and ignoring his terrible underlying metrics? (34% K, 43 percentile bat speed, 0.199 XBA, .347 xslug, etc etc etc)

Justin Mason

2:10

I don't think you are. He is a terrible in zone hitter which is something I avoid. Playing time should be locked in Sac, but he could easily hit .180 and end up in the minors

Joe14

2:10

With those 8 SP's I asked about , is Yamamoto ranked above all of them ?

Justin Mason

2:10

yes

KevBurg

Who are one or two of your favorite mid-round and late-round relivers?

Justin Mason

2:11

Orion Kerkering. Electric stuff and I do not trust Romano to stay healthy. Could be a top 5 closer if he gets the job

2:12

Jason Adam too because I think Suarez gets moved

Parker Fox

2:12

Cardinals closer situation: A) how likely is Helsley to be traded this season, and B) if he is, who is the most likely replacement?

Justin Mason

2:13

I think it's about an 80% chance. I think it would be between JoJo Romero and Ryan Fernandez with Fernandez being the more interesting name of the two

Adam

2:13

Kepler and general Phillies platoon follow up - I assume there will be a platoon in both CF and LF. How do you see this shaking out? A mix of Rojas/Marsh?

Justin Mason

2:14

I think Marsh and Kepler on the strong side with Sosa and Rojas on the weak side

StrosFan27

OBP league - Jake Burger or Isaac Paredes?

Justin Mason

2:14

Burger

Chin Music

2:15

I pick 6th in my draft. Likely to come down to J. Ramirez, Elly or Soto. Do you have a preference there?
League has OBP/SLG as separate categories, no AVG.

Justin Mason

2:15

J-Ram is my #3 player this season. I would take him all day

I think the OBP make Soto in the conversation but it is still J-Ram

IVThoughts

2:15

What do you make of Ceddanne Rafaela this year?

Justin Mason

2:16

Boston loves him and gave him the contract so he will play, but the in-zone contact skills are bad, the O-Swing is terrible. This is a boom bust player that could destroy your average

KevBurg

2:17

Who do you see having the edge in the Diamondbacks bullpen, Puk, Martinez, or do we see another team with a committee?

Justin Mason

2:17

This feels like a committee but if one emerges I would say Puk

SP Curious

2:17

In a 15-team draft and hold, when is the first (non-Ohtani) pitcher typically popped? Picks 5-10? 11-20? Later?
