What's your process for determining stayability for guys?  Re: follow up on your conversation from Sunday with JC about Kurtz not just coming up for a cup of coffee.  Asking mainly about Agustin Ramirez and Chandler Simpson

So typically I look at the team's 26-man roster. If the opening was created by an injury, especially one that seems short term, I tend to think the leash is a little bit shorter. Team construct is often huge in these scenarios. Ramirez and Kurtz are in better spots because they likely are on teams that aren't caring about competing right now whereas the Rays may try to battle. It gives Kurtz and Ramirez a little more rope. Then I look mostly at the underlying skills with production. Typically, underlying skills are a bit more important, but in these scenarios, you can get sent out if the surface stats aren't there in spite of the underlying numbers being there.

Konnor Griffin looks to be off to a great start. Is he someone you could see shooting up the rankings over the course of this year? Seems like he has a massive ceiling….
Justin Mason
12:05
I drafted him in multiple dynasty formats because the upside is massive. He is a long ways away and a lot of it will depend on the hit tool getting better. He is producing right now, but it is a 29% K rate so we need to see that imporve.

Someone in my league hates the Giants and dropped Adames, Ramos, and Flores. Is that the right order and how much FAAB do I throw at this trio? None of them fill a particular need and would be bench players for me, but seems silly to let them get away.
Justin Mason
12:06
That is the right order. I wouldn't go overboard for any of them outside of Adames, but maybe like 20% of FAAB on him seems fair
Parker

Start Reese Olson @ HOU in ROTO?
Justin Mason
12:06
yes
Snid
12:06
Alvarado and Tanner Scott the closers all season?
Justin Mason
12:06
probably not. They may get a share of the saves rest of the way, but both teams have shown the desire to move to the guy that is performing and if they struggle they will lose the roles or have others work in.
Liam hendricks
12:07
Droppable in deep AL only holds plus saves? (I have Uceta, Tim Herrin, Okert and Mason Miller)
Justin Mason
12:07
yes
Kikuchi, destroyer of Whips
12:07
Kikuchi has looked not so great this year. I'm already dealing with Bibee (and just lost Gilbert). Is a MR better for ratios at this point?
Justin Mason
12:08
depends on your depth of league, but probably not. Kikuchi is one of those guys that can turn it around in an instant. Maybe you bench, but I probably wouldn't drop him
Justin
12:08
When do you think Bubba Chandler gets the call? Maybe not Skenes level, but level below that as his upside?
Justin Mason
12:08
End of May. I think he can be an SP2-3 pretty quickly

Is Jordan Walker in the ‘there have got to be better options out there’ territory? Or more along the lines of ‘there’s some small glimmer of hope in a particularly deep league to hang onto him… and then dump in a couple weeks if this doesn’t get any better?'
Justin Mason
12:10
depends on your depth of league, but I think he does. The underlying numbers are showing he just is not been a good in-zone hitter and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he was sentdown.

H2H Dynasty league…thoughts on a Kurtz/Roman Anthony for Kristian Campbell swap?
Justin Mason
12:10
I will take Kurtz/Roman every day
Zach
12:10
Should I try and sell high on Eovaldi?
Justin Mason
12:11
I would. His health track record is bad. He is getting lucky in the BABIP. I think regression or injury happens at some point
Judley
12:12
True or False: Chandler Simpson is freakin' awesome!
Justin Mason
12:12
True
East India Trading Company

10T 5x5 OBP league with multiple IF spots and 5 OF: would you drop Jonathan India for either Spencer Steer or Andy Pages?
Justin Mason
12:13
I would for Pages right now, but be ready to move quickly when regression sets in
AL Only OF
12:13
Travis Jankoswki or Mouricio Dubon? (I’m leaning Jankowski because he seems liklier to get short term PT right now and a better chance at some badly needed SB).
Justin Mason
12:14
Jank
Roman Empire
12:14
Roman Anthony ETA? They're doing ok but he's got to be an upgrade over someone in that lineup right?
Justin Mason
12:14
I think he is up by the end of May
Snake Handler
12:14
Jordan Lawlar worth slashing? He's destroying Triple A but with Marte and Perdomo there's no room in the IF unless the D-backs move Suarez to DH
Justin Mason
12:15
At some point they have to bring him up. I think I would still stash for now.
Save Me
12:15
Better saves spec stash: Shelby Miller, Porter Hodge or Alexis Diaz?
Justin Mason
12:15
Hodge
Dog Days of April

Hi Justin, I apologize for this agonizing question. You deserve better. At CI this week, do I “want” Baez, Muncy, Urias or Bell? Thank you again.
Justin Mason
12:15
Muncy
MF Luder
12:15
Do you think Coby Mayo will be fantasy relevant by the end of June?
Justin Mason
12:16
I really hope so, but it's hard to know what the Orioles will do considering how they have treated their prospects in recent seasons.
Sarah
12:16
Hey, Jason! Quick question about Agustin ... how much of a targey is he for you for redraft and dynasty??
