yes. Sell right now
In vest ed
12:43
AL obp league: will vest or pasquatch? Saves are very tight, but I also believe in the better Vinnie projections...
Justin Mason
12:43
Go get your saves

What happened to Max Meyer?
Justin Mason
12:43
Just some bad luck and poor usage. No need to worry yet
Cannon
12:45
You soundly dismissed Jonathan Cannon on the 2start pod, but he's on a qs run and has decent pitch metric numbers, even if the predictive stats are ugly. Am I crazy for holding out hope?
Justin Mason
12:46
Crazy? No, but I am not seeing a ton that enthuses me especially on a bad White Sox team. I will try and sit down to watch his starts this week, but this is just a innings eater on a bad team
Nuke L-A-Lush
12:46
Better stash in a Keeper league, L. Henderson or J. Misiorowski?
Justin Mason
12:46
Misiorowski
Tomoyuki CYgano

Where do you figure Oneil Cruz's final stat line actually lands for 2025? my gut thinks it's something like 25/40/.240 but I'm worried it'll be closer to 22/35/.215
Justin Mason
12:47
I think it will be closer to the .240 with the way he is hitting. There is risk it is the .215, but he just crushes the ball which makes up for the poor contact %s

How unlucky is Taylor Ward? Seems like there will be positive BABIP regression to career norms. THE BATX has him as a $20 player ROS. Looking to buy low or pickup where available now?
Justin Mason
12:49
.190 BABIP doing a lot of the damage. Making good in zone contact but he is trying to lift too much leading to fly outs. Needs to level out the swing a bit and he could take offf
JB
12:50
Any thoughts on Marcell Ozuna's slow start, his swing% is only 37.1%?  I picked up George Springer for some insurance, Springer currently at career highs in Walk Rate, LA EV, Barrel% and Hardhit%.
Justin Mason
12:50
He is just being a bit too passive at the plate. I think he will be fine once he turns up the aggressiveness in the zone.
Why not Zoidberg
12:50
Start Lawlar right away? Otherwise it's probably Crews or Campbell for me.
Justin Mason
12:50
yes
earl weaver is running this year
12:50
Would you trade Bryce Miller for Alcantara in a keeper pts. league?  Is it unreasonable to think that Alcantara might be traded before the deadline?
Justin Mason
12:50
I would not
JY
12:50
Can Albies get back to hitting like his can, some of underlying #'s look off by a lot
Justin Mason
12:51
I think he can, but I am not betting on it. This feels like a modern day BJ Upton that will drive you crazy with hot and cold streaks.

I’ve been offered Gunnar for my Julio. Told him I’d like a little extra back so he added Jack Leiter. Does that sound about right or should I push for Boyd or Rasmussen? He has decent SP depth, so other options include Gavin Williams or Tylor Megill. Schwelly probably too much to ask
For my question: 5x5 roto 12-tm if it helps
Justin Mason
12:52
I think that is fair. I actually have Gunnar as more valuable than Julio
Laura
12:52
When will the Red Sox call up Anthony?Your crystal ball working?
Justin Mason
12:52
I think he is up before the end of the month
Horton Hears a Who
12:52
Thoughts on Cade Horton?
Justin Mason
12:53
Really good stuff. Can struggle with control. Command has been spotty at times and because he allows so many flyballs he could have a homer issue. Lots of risk, but the reward could be huge as well
Royce Lewis
12:54
What does Royce get first, a home run or another soft tissue injury?
Justin Mason
12:54
Homer followed by the injury
Guest
12:54
Hey, Justin! 12tm H2H categories league - how much longer do we need to hold Willy Adames? Been playing Jeremy Pena and honestly he’s been pretty steady
Justin Mason
12:55
I think Adames will be fine in the long term, but he won't be as good as we saw in Milwaukee because of the massive downgrade in park and team.
JY
12:55
Fill in for each: (Meyer/Bubic/Roki/Bassit) is a top ___ pitcher in league at end of season
Justin Mason
12:55
Meyer: 40
Bubic: 30
Roki: 70
Bassitt: 40
On the Wire
12:56
Rank these available SP options in a 10T roto league please? Meyer, Giolito, May, Jobe, Leiter, Canning. And would you cut Roupp for any of them?
Justin Mason
12:56
May, Giolito, Leiter, Meter, Canning, Jobe. Cut Jobe for Roupp
Matt
12:56
Did I cut bait on Matt McLain too early? Cut him last week
Justin Mason
12:56
yes you did
Liberatore
12:57
He was mentioned on the pod, specifically his control. Do you actually think that’s sustainable? Seems like if or when that control fades, he’ll turn back into 2022 Liberatore.
Justin Mason
12:58
I think this is sustainable. Maybe he comes back down to earth some, but there is a real change in the attack and he is showing the best control of his career.
