I will begin as soon as I have enough questions. In the meantime, please follow me on all my social media’s (twitter, tiktok, facebook, youtube, bluesky, and instagram) at JustinMasonFWFB! I am doing regular podcasts on the FWFB podcast as well as three episodes a week for the Sleeper and the Bust so definitely make sure you are subscribed there as well!

I spent 85% of my auction budget on hitting and in the first week I produced 4 HRs, a .188 BA, and 2 SBs. I love and hate this game.
Justin Mason
12:04
I am feeling the same way in a few leagues. This is why I tell people to just not worry about the standings and enjoy watching baseball for the first few weeks.
Adenolith
12:06
Weekly lineups. Would you activate Gunnar this week over Luis Garcia Jr?
Justin Mason
12:06
I think I would

pirates good SB targets or are the marlins just trash at holding runners?
Justin Mason
12:08
That is something I am watching this week. They are leading MLB in SBs and if that is going to be a trend, I want to start picking up their guys on my wire like IKF and Pham. I grabbed IKF in a number of 15-teamers last night
Chucky
12:08
With Civale going on the IL who is their replacement? If it’s Logan He Derwin, would you swap him out for my stash, Birdsong?
Justin Mason
12:08
I honestly have no idea who they might bring up, but I would continue to stash Birdsong
Haze
12:09
Porter or Presley as Cubs Closer?
Justin Mason
12:09
Pressly for now, but Porter long term
JJP

Is Tylor Megill a decent injury replacement for Manaea in a 10 team NL only?
Justin Mason
12:09
Absolutely. He looked great in spring. Just needs to stay healthy.
Nestor
12:09
How panicked should I be? It was just the bats…right?
Justin Mason
12:10
Don't be panicked yet. It's just one start.
Pat
12:10
More likely early season success story to continue 12 team starter production - Manzardo or Wells?
Justin Mason
12:10
Wells
Matt W.
12:10
Last week was the joy of drafting. This week is the misery of everybody getting hurt. What are you doing with Josh Lowe and Colton Cowser?
Justin Mason
12:11
Really depends on the depth of my league, but anything 12-teams or deeper, I am trying to stash them
Hollis
12:11
Hi Justin,
I know it’s early, but of the following pitchers, would there be four you suspect you'd want to hold onto all season long:
J Jobe, C Mize, R Olsen, K Rocker, G Williams, Max Meyer, AJSS, Wesneski, T Sugano
Thanks!
Justin Mason
12:11
Olson, Williams, Meyer, Mize in a redraft

Williams, Meyer, Jobe, Rocker in a keeper
JJP
12:12
Santillan is already on a team (10 NL only), is there anyone else to grab in Cincy pen, or take a flyer on  a Col reliever? Player moves to active roster.
Justin Mason
12:12
I think that the Cincy job changes hand a bunch or is just a straight committee. Halvorsen in Colorado is super intriguing.
Mugghead
12:12
Reason to believe in a Soriano breakout or just an overreaction to a crappy CWS team? I need to stream pitchers in my Points league and worry I'll regret dropping him in favor of Boyd or Ben Brown this week.
Justin Mason
12:13
I would hold Soriano over Boyd or Brown. I love the upside, but I am also not anointing him yet.
Da*n the Torpedos!
12:13
Which Tigers reliever should I pick up for chasing saves...or should I look elsewhere and wait for the next opportunity
Justin Mason
12:13
Breiske
Pat
12:13
Considering the injury, the awkwardness following the signing of Bregman and the DH tax, how concerned are you about Devers 1-10 (10 full blown panic)?
Justin Mason
12:14
like a 5. It's too early to worry a ton
High5Ghost
12:14
12 team mixed…would you roll with Hunter Goodman, Gabriel Moreno or Keibert Ruiz? Just looking for the best bat.
Justin Mason
12:14
Goodman is the best bat. Ruiz probably plays more though
JG14
12:15
Replacement for Cowser : Kjerstad ,Larnach, Pages, HGoodman,Deluca, LTaveras, Conforto . All seem as strong side platoon bats. 12T Mix Daily Roto. TY
Justin Mason
12:16
Give me Larnach for this week. The Twins only have one lefty on the docket against them.
cool 1
Flyers
12:16
10 team NL only - Suwinski hit the ball hard, anything there of value? Stowers?
Justin Mason
12:16
Stowers is going to play every day so I go with him. Just needs to keep the strikeouts in check
Bubba Quinn
12:17
Everyone is super high on Bubba Chandler as the #1 SP prospect this year. It seems like Quinn Matthews is the better prospect though. If you could pick one up to stash, which one would you choose? Would it be crazy to grab Quinn over Bubba?
Justin Mason
12:17
I think Chandler is the better prospect and likely up sooner.
Grasping at Straws
12:18
I'm baaack! I managed to hold Torkelson while also acquiring Soderstrom, and now I look smart. (1B is the only position batting over .250). Now my problem is my lack of a catcher. Will Soderstrom or Ben Rice gain eligibility soon? Do I ditch a 1B to pick up an uninspired option -- Kirk, Amaya, Naylor, Jansen, Dingler, Endy Rodriguez -- or do I punt catcher until Alvarez is back?
Justin Mason
12:19
I would drop Rice personally because I don't think that neither Rice nor Soderstrom gains catcher eligibility soon.
TrampolinesInTheOutfield
12:20
Thoughts on adjusting projections for Astros pitchers going forward after watching Jose Altuve quite literally short-arm a catch  Saturday night…? Barring MLB implementation of trampolines in the outfield, dude will not be robbing many hitters of HR / extra bases.
