If healthy, he should. I think it is an interesting gamble for sure

When drafting minor leaguers in an only dynasty league, how do you balance proximity vs impact? For example, in my spot I'm going back and forth between sproat, who should be up this year and help vs Susana who I might have to wait a year or two before they come up.
Justin Mason

depends on if your team is competitive now or not. If you are in the hunt right now, play to win now! If you aren't really, go with the greater upside.
12:55
Ok, not much time left and a lot of questions, so lets speed round things

10 team NL 4x4 roto 280 salary cap, keep a $7 Austin Hays or a $9 Lourdes Gurriel?  Keep both?  Neither?

Preseason prediction fun -- in a 12-teamer w/OBP & SLG, who would your end of season keepers be out of Freeman, Westburg, McLain, Jazz, Elly, Kristian Campbell if you could only keep 4, maybe 5?
Justin Mason
12:56
Freeman, Jazz, McLain, Elly, Campbell

Short term MI fill in for a 12-team H2H- available Rafaela, Luisangel, Vargas. (also Keith, Cronenworth, Ortiz) I'm tempted to go Vargas because RR has him leading off - am I crazy?
Justin Mason

Keith
Grade my Trade, please!

Deep as hell 12 Team AL Only Keeper League 5x5 Roto (SV+Hd). Sent Hagen Smith, Kevin Mcgonigle a 1st round Taxi Pick and Joey Cantillo and received Hunter Brown, a 3rd round taxi and a 2nd round taxi......I think I overpaid, but I feel like now is the time to overpay with prospects rather than in August at the deadline?
Justin Mason
12:57
I think you overpaid, but if you are playing to win now, I get it

Cub prospect who makes the biggest impact in 2025 and 2026: Alcantra, Caissie, Horton, Truants, or someone else?
Justin Mason
12:57
Caissie

Thoughts on PCA? I'm worried about his hitting.
Justin Mason
12:58
Defense will keep him in, but I do not think he is a very good hitter in general
Mr. Lee

What kind of pitchers would benefit from the IBS system?
Justin Mason

Point awarded!

Lugo or Woo for a h2h points league?
Justin Mason
12:59
depends on depth of league. Shallow league go with the upside of woo. deeper league: Lugo

Is Jacob Young this year’s Brice Turang (freely available source of stolen bases) and if not, who is?
Justin Mason
12:59
He definitely is

Yes, hello... Long time listener first time caller. Can you tell me why you're obsessed with zone contact rate? Also your co-host on FWFB is so much cooler than you. I'll hang up and listen
Justin Mason

Zone contact is the best tool to determine someone's hit tool. It also gives the player the opportunity to get lucky. It is not the only thing I care about because you can make a ton of contact but if it's weak, it won't matter, but it is very important to me in terms of seeing someones true talent level as a hitter.
Liam Hendricks

If he struggles - how quick are you to cut bait on him in a 12 team AL only Sv+Hd league?
Justin Mason
1:01
very quickly
Sam

Are we high on Marsh or is it time to move on? I don’t know if he’s worth hanging onto even at a low-ish price
Justin Mason
1:01
time to move on
Thanks.

Thanks.

If Kim (dodgers) was available in a minor league draft would you take him over Spoat, T. white, Augustine Ramirez?
Justin Mason
1:01
I wouldn't take him over Ramirez
Dave

Any chance Jack Suwinski takes the first base job early on?
Justin Mason
1:02
I think there is a chance, but it is small
SheetzRun

Or what about Ozuna + Pivetta (I hate having UT only guys) for Schwellenbach + Arenado (hoping the shortened swing and increased bat speed is real)
Justin Mason
1:02
I would do that
George

SP thinner than Mookie (looking like Kate Moss)...best option?  Boyd, Carrasco or Warren?
Justin Mason

Warren
