Hi!

South Sider

12:13

Is Reese Olson droppable in a 16-team league? His next two starts are SD and @HOU, which isn't inspiring confidence

Justin Mason

12:13

Hard to drop him in a league that deep but understand it with his schedule

Good morning Walltimore!

12:13

Dynasty league: Lawrence Butler or Carson Williams?

Justin Mason

12:13

Butler

Hi Justin, in 14-team H2H 5x5, can you please rank Schanuel, Bell, Muncy (LA), and P. Smith at CI ROS? And a hitter for today: Wagaman or Fraley? Thanks again!

Justin Mason

12:14

Muncy, Bell, Schanuel, Smith

Roster crunch in a 16-team, 6x6 league with OBP and SLG instead of AVG. Which infielder would you drop of this group? Eugenio, Gabriel Arias, Gleyber, India

Justin Mason

Arias

Burger looking a little bit well done. Pivot to Busch or Hoskins? Tork has been holding down 1B.

Justin Mason

12:15

I don't mind moving to Busch, but I think Burger will get hot at some point

Benji

12:15

10tm 5x5 league - do you view Buxton as a hot hand to ride or anything more in this shallow format?

Justin Mason

12:15

hot hand

Whats up with christian walker, and would you be trying to buy low? I am not sure the underlying metrics are screaming positive regression.

Justin Mason

12:16

In-zone contact numbers are fine. Swinging too much out of the zone. I think he will be fine, but there is some risk here.

12:16

Hi, redraft league, who is better buy low candidate, T. Bibee or A. Nola? Both dropped in my league this week, would slot in as 5th SP on my team pushing Bubic to 6th SP.

Justin Mason

12:16

Bibee

What do you see Moniak doing in Colorado? Regular PT and at least okay stats?

Justin Mason

12:17

Seems like he is gonna play regularly in Colorado, but the skills have never really been that intriguing. Maybe a deep league accumulator.

Charles F

Ranks ROS schwell, Gore, Luzardo, Ober

Justin Mason

Schwellenbach, Ober, Gore, Luzardo

Danny

Seth Lugo just became available in my 12 team QS league. Would you pick him up for any one of Leiter, Tylor Megill or Grant Holmes?

Justin Mason

12:18

I would drop Holmes or Leiter for him

Neato

12:18

Zack Neto got dropped in my league right before he came back from IL. I've been running Tovar and just picked up Perdomo. How much do I bid on Neto? 13tm std roto $100 faab budget (I've got $80 left)

Justin Mason

12:18

I would go 20-25

maybe less if you don't have $0 bids

Shaky Closers

12:19

Hey Justin, in a 10 team NL-only 5x5 roto, how long should you stick with a closer who has bad ratios and not many save opportunities, like Halvorsen (or any Rockies closer), vs. the elite setup guys who might get 3-4 saves for the season? SVs have such an outsize importance that it makes me think twice...

Justin Mason

12:20

really depends on your team construct. How bad do you need the saves? If you need them badly, then it's hard to move on from a guy that will get them. If you don't then I think it is probably smart.

RAGBRAI

12:21

If McNeil is taking reps in the OF while rehabbing does that mean Baty stays upon his return? Baty seems to be finding his bat.

Justin Mason

12:22

I think so. With Siri out they need help in the outfield more

Gator

12:22

How concerned are you with the slow starts for R Greene, Vinnie P, and Semien

Justin Mason

12:22

not worried on any of them

RAGBRAI

12:22

We haven’t heard anything about Jones lately. Any updates? Is an August return realistic at this point?

Justin Mason

12:22

personally, I wouldn't hold my breath he returns this season

12:22

14 tm, redraft, 6x6 h2h, still rolling out L. Garcia Jr at 2B and being patient, Albies on trade block, is B. Miller fair enough value wise to get Albies, if so is the upgrade worth it or should I continue to be patient with Garcia.

Justin Mason

12:23

I think that is fair enough value, but I would just hold

Broken Bat

12:23

Is there any short term positive outlook for Jordan Walker? 3 more strikeouts yesterday, heavy % of ground balls. Looks totally broke IMO. THOUGHTS?

Justin Mason

12:24

The talent is definitely there, but I am worried he never unlocks it. Or at least any time soon.
