Santana

Nice little hot stretch from McLain-- what's your outlook for him ROS?  Top ___ SS?
Justin Mason
12:44
I think he is top 10 with the ability to be top 5. I am a buyer.
Air Bud
12:44
Does Dalton Rushing have any juice moving forward? How long can they keep running Conforto out there?
Justin Mason
12:44
Probably not with Will Smith at C and Ohtani at DH. They don't seem interested in him playing the outfield.
Mike
12:44
Starting Lugo against the Dodgers?  He has handled good teams well lately.
Justin Mason
12:45
I am in a deeper league, but I would think twice about it in a shallow one.
Guest
12:45
so after trading Rasmussen and losing Sale, I have Walter and Morton. how bad am I down
Justin Mason
12:45
I really like Walter and Morton has looked much better recently, but this is a huge drop off.
PG
12:46
Who do you have more faith in being useful - Jacob Lopez or Max Scherzer?
Justin Mason
12:46
Scherzer
Catching, sort of
12:46
Crystal ball question: How many more seasons will Agustin Ramirez be catcher eligible. I also have Will Smith and contemplating trading one of them. (min. 20 games played at the position, 14-team dynasty points, 1-catcher league)
Justin Mason
12:46
Probably 2-3. I think Marlins let him catch just enough the next few seasons to retain it for a bit.
RAGBRAI
12:47
Is House burning down the house ROS or just a vacant lot?
Justin Mason
12:47
First of all, point awarded!
12:48
I think House is a really interesting prospect. The Nationals have no reason to not let him play and see what they have. He has a ton of power if he can just make league average contact and he is in his small sample. I think I am holding right now and seeing what happens in deeper leagues and watch listing him in shallower ones.
Dave
12:49
Should I care Vientos is on the wire in a 12 teamer roto? He’s expected back this week.
Justin Mason
12:49
If you need power, pick him up
Power surge
12:49
Dubon’s recent power binge, simply a blip, or signs of something more?
Justin Mason
12:50
probably just a blip
Hans Moleman
12:50
12tm 6x6 QS - I'm first in offense, second to last in pitching. Is trading away Devers for their Schwellenbach + Cease fair?
Justin Mason
12:50
absolutely
Cam Smith
12:50
Signs that the power breakout is coming? They’ve moved him to the middle of the order in recent games, which is tasty
Justin Mason
12:50
I think he is finally getting comfortable and starting to rake. If you have been patient with him, you are about to get paid off.
Save me
12:51
I'm currently 9th out of 10 in saves in my league with Tanner Scott, Daniel Palencia and Robert Garcia on my roster, and barring something crazy, I won't finish any higher than 5th. Am I better off punting and trying to deal any of my closers or should I wait it out a little longer? FWIW the only SV options on the wire are Strahm, Lee and maybe Grant Taylor
Justin Mason
12:52
I think this is a scenario where I would consider it. You should spreadsheet out your standings and see where you can reasonably gain the most ground, but if you only stand to lose one point in saves, but you can pick up double digit points in the other pitching categories, it is probably worth doing.
Fox
12:53
Best case scenario for Giancarlo Stanton the rest of the season? We all know what the worst case scenario is..
Justin Mason
12:54
He could easily go on a tear and hit like 20 homers rest of the way, but it won't come with a good average and it is more likely he gets hurt again.
Ron Dyer
12:54
What can we hope for from Hunter Greene, Tyler Glasnow, and Cole Ragans ROS?
Justin Mason
12:54
Not much. I would drop in most formats.
Hazmat Corntail
12:54
I picked up Priester and got burned. Would you hang on for the Colorado start this weekend or drop for Fuentes or a speculative add of Boyle? It’s a 14t dynasty
Justin Mason
12:54
I would hold Priester.
Insert Witty Name Here
12:55
I know I'm being too cute with this question, but is it a good idea to offer Raleigh in trades if the value is right? Catching is a hard position for the 2nd half, and I find it so hard to believe he can keep up THIS pace…
Justin Mason
12:56
You would have to get back a haul for him if you moved him. He can't keep this pace, but there are the best contact numbers of his career along with the best barrel rate and hard hit percentages. He will definitely slow down, but he will still be an elite catcher.
Pistol Pete
12:56
Hey Justin - love these chats!! Who is your favorite pitcher pickup of Brandon Walter, Ryne Nelson, Jacob Lopez, Emmet Sheehan, Quin Priester, Didier Fuentes to offer most rest of season value?
Justin Mason
12:56
Give me Walter
Jed
12:57
McNeil has supposedly made a mechanical change that has allowed him to access more pull-side power. Do you buy that at all, or is this the same guy?
Justin Mason
12:58
I would have to sit down and look at the mechanical differences, but I don't see much in the numbers other than he is trying to pull the ball more. His EVs are all the same. His barrel rate is up but we are talking 3% to 5% so is that really a big improvement?
Barry
12:58
Is Drew Rasmussen a sell high guy or do you have faith he pitches productively into September?
Justin Mason
12:59
I have faith in his skills, but the question will be whether the Rays slow him down if they fall out of the playoff race? If they continue to be in it though, I don't think they can afford to limit him so I would hold personally.
