In a 12tm where Holliday became available, would you dump McLain for him?  McLain getting really hard to roster..
Justin Mason
12:14
I wouldn't personally. I think McLain will be fine in the end.
Why Not Zoidberg
12:14
Always love the content, Justin. Trying to pick my last two this week, who are you starting out of this group - McLain, Story, Doyle, Adames?
Justin Mason
12:14
Doyle and Adames

been trying to trade for Maikel for a week now and the guy has been playing hardball the whole time. over Maikel Garcia. how hard should I push
Justin Mason
12:15
I would be willing to pay close to full freight in Garcia. The underlying numbers back up what he is doing. I am a huge fan.
IF Q
12:17
Hi Justin, would you drop Luisangel Acuna or Masyn Winn for Colt Keith in a 5x5 OBP roto league?
Justin Mason
12:17
I would drop Winn for Keith
High5Ghost
12:18
Augustin Ramirez or Tyler Stephenson ROS? Thanks
Justin Mason
12:18
Stephenson
We had a discussion about this on yesterdays The Sleeper and the Bust pod if you want more context.
Pete
12:19
I know youv'e been a big fan. Does Kyle Leahy take over as closer for the Cards at some point this season?
Justin Mason
12:19
I think he could if the Cardinals trade Helsley at that deadline, but they could go to JoJo Romero too. I do like Leahy from a skills prospective though
David
12:20
I have 8 out of my 10 starts figured out, but not sure on the final two to pick. I could start Shane Smith, Luis Ortiz, Jake Irvin, and/or Casparius today, but also have both Clay Holmes (CHC) and Grant Holmes (CIN) available for later in the week. (Already plan to start Smith against MIA later this week FWIW). My gut says Clay Holmes and either Smith or Casparius today, but would like your input. Also, does Alcantara turn it around? I'm not risking LAD this week (fool me once and all lol)
Justin Mason
12:20
Holmes and Smith
12:21
I would not bank on Alcantara returning to form any time soon. Guys coming off of TJ typically struggle with command and control in their first season back and that is what we are seeing right now with him. He should get better by season end, but maybe not the ace we saw previously until next season
MF Luder
12:21
How long before Quinn Priester is back in AAA?
Justin Mason
12:22
Once they Civale or Woodruff back, I would expect him to get sent back down.
Steve Bartman
12:23
Luis Garcia Jr on the Nats, sort of a forgotten asset (he was dropped in my 12 teamer whoa). Does he have value juice over guys like Stott or McClain? Or you prefer to hold on those guys?
Justin Mason
12:23
If you are good on avg, I wouldn't mind switching out Stott for him
JJP
12:23
Rolling the dice with Quintana while Glasgow is out (10 team NL only so wire is thin). Should I start drinking now?
Justin Mason
12:23
Yes and blame it on Cinco de Mayo
Patrick
12:24
Where in the world is Anthony Santander (sung to the tune of Carmen Sandiego)?
Justin Mason
12:26
Hard to really tell. Maybe he is just not seeing the ball in Toronto as well as he did in Baltimore. He is getting a bit unlucky, but that isn't the only reason things are a struggle for him right now. He is just not squaring the ball up right now
MF Luder
12:27
May through the end of the year; who has a higher WAR Gunnar Hoglund or Luis Severino?
Justin Mason
12:27
Severino, but closer than it would seem. I like Hoglund a lot
AJG
12:28
Robbie Ray cutting the walks down his last 2 starts and is looking like the ace we all hoped and dreamed! Byproduct of 2 home starts against scuffling offenses, or steps forward?
Justin Mason
12:29
Looks promising. I want to see him just attack the zone more. He did in his starts vs MIL and TEX but he wasn't vs COL but they just chased because it's the Rockies. The Cubs will make for a nice test on Wednesday
Brick
12:29
Fantasy trade: Ranger Suarez for Jordan Lawlar: who says no?
Justin Mason
12:30
The Lawlar owner if this is any sort of keeper league
Patrick
12:30
Projections for Ohtani RBI ROS? Current calculations have him around 50
Justin Mason
12:30
Most of the systems have him for 80-90 more
Soroka
12:31
Do you have any interest in soroka in a 12T league? His last rehab start was impressive with 11ks
Justin Mason
12:31
I think he is a streamer in 12s, but maybe a team streamer
Marty McFly
12:32
I'm gathring you probably have these guys ranking in this order: Roupp, Gonsolin, Giolito. Does a taking flier on Hogland intrigue you any more than streaming Gonsolin or Gioltio for a 2 step or holding Roupp until he can get the walks under control?
Justin Mason
12:34
I think Roupp has the most upside for this season out of that group. I believe in his stuff and he has been unlucky. I think right now for the long haul, I would say my ranks on them are Roupp, Giolito, Gonsolin, Hoglund, but I think the last three could be interchangable after this week and we see if Gioltio is able to command and control things better and if Gonsolin's velo and stuff look better.
AJG
12:34
Just traded Stott and Taillon for Luis Castillo (the real one, not the one with the F initial). Thoughts?
Justin Mason
12:34
I like that a lot for you
AJG
12:34
Any predictions on what Sacramento will look like in the summer heat? Are we thinking coors-esque, or maybe even ridiculous than coors offensive output?
Justin Mason
12:36
I think it could be. It is already playing like a very good hitter's park and we haven't even hit the heat of the summer. Today is 87 and windy in Sac and Friday is supposed to be the first 90+ degree day so that might give us a good indication.
