Maikel Garcia or Royce Lewis rest of season?

Justin Mason

12:37

Garcia but that is only because I don't trust Lewis to stay healthy

AJG

Holliday 2 homer day yesterday -- sign of a turnaround and things to come? I have to think that talented bat is just waiting to officially break out and stay for good

Justin Mason

12:38

I do think we are starting to see the breakout, but I don't know if I believe that there is a full one this season. The in-zone contact numbers are really juicy, but I don't think the power has fully developed. I buy the average, but I still don't think he is a 20+ homer guy yet

Hey Justin, how concerned are we with Crochet's velo? Results were fine yesterday but velo was way down. He downplayed it in his postgame presser, and it does seem like hes going through big mechanical changes. Is he someone you trade ASAP if you own him?

Justin Mason

12:40

I don't know that I would sell him asap, but definitely something I am monitoring. Maybe if I got a first round stud at an offensive position for him, but not time to panic yet

My dynasty team currently has Devers, Maikel, Mayo at 3B. Looking ahead to ‘26 when Devers loses that eligibility, how good of shape am I in with the latter two moving forward?

Justin Mason

12:40

I think you are in great shape moving forward. I believe in Mayo as a power hitter. He just needs the chance to stick in Baltimore.

Marty McFly

Stream Beck over Stowers this week with the COL homestand, or buying Stowers as a better grab and hold?

Justin Mason

12:40

I would go Stowers.

How pissed should we be that Lawlar is still wasting away in AAA? Do you see a pathway to a call up that doesn't include an injury?

Justin Mason

12:41

I don't right now unfortunately. He should be up already in my opinion, but the D-Backs are going to stick to the plan.

Alot of good pitchers to upgrade from E.Cabrera/McCullers in my 10-tm H2H pts league. Which two would you add, and do you like any longer term? JP Sears (vs. NYY), Ty Anderson (Tor/Bal), Canning (@Ari/ChC), Rassmussen (Phi/Mil), Berrios (@LAA), Andrew Abbott (@Atl/@Stl), Wesneski (@Mil), Bryce Miller (@Ath/Tor), Blanco (@Mil/Cin), Roupp (@ChC/@Min), Ortiz (@Wsh/Phi). TY

Justin Mason

Miller and Rasmussen

Is colt Keith finally waking up?

Justin Mason

12:42

I really hope so because he is crushing me. The underlying numbers look good. He just needs to lift the ball a tiny bit

maris9

Should I trade Parker Meadows if I could land someone in AL only league? Or wait on him.

Justin Mason

12:42

Trade him

AJG

12:42

Is Michael Harris a better baseball player than he is a fantasy player? I wait for his big breakout every year, but he is far too streaky. Still just 24 tho, so plenty of time!

Justin Mason

12:44

The O-Swing issues will continue to lead him to these hot/cold streaks that are frustrating. Its one of the reasons I am always lower on him than the rest of the industry. Until he has a better understanding of the strike zone, I don't see this changing.

Willie

12:44

In regards to the question about Holliday and McLain, thank you. Would you pick up Holliday and dump Lawler?

Justin Mason

12:44

Pat

12:44

Luis Ortiz has been a decent run. Looks like he's alternating sinker/cutter usage, probably based on handedness, anything you see there that makes you think he could be settling in as a high 3s ERA starter with good Ks? Sort of what everyone wants Gavin Williams to be.

Justin Mason

12:45

The command and control aren't good enough for him to be that yet. I have some hope because Cleveland is so good at developing pitchers, but I am not a buyer yet

Jack off all trades

12:45

Ben Casparius as a free agent or hold David Festa @ $1 in dynasty?

Justin Mason

12:45

Hold Festa

Jack off all trades

12:45

Festa not helping me in minors

Justin Mason

12:45

I know, but he has so much talent and he will be back sooner rather than later.

MIssing

12:45

Chase Meidroth or Colt Keith for MI in an Ottoneu 12 team points league?

Justin Mason

12:45

Meidroth

Honkus Wagner

12:46

In dynasty are you ready to move on from Sandy Alcantara? No real trade value, would have to drop

Justin Mason

12:46

No, hold and let him recoup value next season

Adenolith

12:46

Have you noticed or heard about any changes with Luis Robert that might suggest he's returned to form? Awful last year and a bad start to this year make me wonder if this is just a heater or if he's rediscovered some magic.

Justin Mason

12:47

He is being more patient at the plate which is great, but underlying issues with z-contact are still present and actually the worst of his career. Dude needs a change of scenery

Mike Tyson: designated hitter

12:47

15 team roto dynasty. Hogland or AJSS?

Justin Mason

12:48

Hoglund

PSA

Don't forget to get your mama something for Mother's Day this Sunday.

Justin Mason

12:48

Well, this is awkward...
