In an NL only 5x5 with OBP...if/when Riley returns does he replace N Marte? Marte is retainable/Riley is not.
Justin Mason
12:06
Absolutely. Riley is a stud when he is on the field.
John

Need 1 C in 12 tm H2h pts for this week only: Ben Rice, Yanier Diaz, Willson Contreras
Justin Mason
12:07
I lean Diaz here

In NL 5x5 would Lawlar's return displace J Ortiz? I can keep Ortiz but not Lawlar.
Justin Mason
12:09
That one is close if Lawlar isnt keepable. Ortiz is hot and moved up the lineup, so I might go that direction

Would you rather get a stud player for your fantasy team or your actual team?
Justin Mason
12:09
My actual team for sure. I want to win in fantasy, but that glory isnt the same as your team winning.

Worth dropping Herrera for Ben Rice at C?  1 catcher league obviously
Justin Mason
12:10
Yes, I would do that.

Expectations for Bradish ROS?
Justin Mason
12:11
I wouldnt have high expectations because of the time off, but for deeper leagues, there isnt a ton out on the wire that can have as big of upside as Bradish
RAGBRAI
12:12
What do you see for McLean ROS of the season.  Many starts? Bullpen? Shut down? Does he make OD rotation next year with their current staff?
Justin Mason
12:13
I think he could be a very impactful pitcher down the stretch for fantasy. He probably is in the bullpen late and for the playoffs, but He should get at least a few weeks in the rotation here as the Mets jockey for position. He has been great in in the minors and as long as he keeps the walks in check, the upside is very nice.

Hello, OBP 5x5 11 tm roto keeper.  Three-way tie for 2nd place, Butler (bench) and Volpe.  Want to drop one for and SP...most points available for wins and ratio's.  Drop one or both?  P/u T. Freeman and Zebby for this week.  Thanks.

Do you think Shawn Armstrong is the guy moving forward for Texas with Matons recent struggles?
Justin Mason
12:16
I do think that is the most logical option with who they have currently available
BD
12:16
Semien, Cronen, India, Blaze… any of these a replacement for McLain? Anywhere else to look?
Justin Mason
12:18
I guess I might ride the hot hand with Blaze there
Kevin

How high in the draft would you guess Hunter Goodman will go next year as a catcher-only in a 12 team 5x5 league?
Justin Mason
12:19
He went as the fourth catcher off the board in my three sport league. That seems about right

Shallow league looking at some rough drops. How would you rank these guys for the next month - Eury, Bieber, E. Cabrera?
Justin Mason
12:19
Cabrera, Eury, Bieber
Gregg
12:20
For a C2, would you prefer Basallo or Moreno (on rehab)?
Justin Mason
12:20
Basallo
Jimmy
12:20
Which of these after the all star break sad outfielders has the best finishing kick? Cowser, Ramos, Happ, or Jasson?
Justin Mason
12:20
Ill take Cowser as long as he is healthy

Morning Justin! In dueling returns from TJS, 2025 has offered some up-and-down results for Eury (more up) and Sandy (more down). What do you think is the outlook on each for 2026?
Justin Mason
12:22
I think Eury is potentially a top 10-15 starter next year. The stuff is so good and once we are more removed from the TJ, I will feel better about his ability to command and control it effectively. Alcantara should bounce back some, but there is always the chance he is just never the guy he was. I will likely have him as a top 30-40 guy next season

Hey! How deep a league for starting Dustin May today vs. BAL?

Brief details: My SPs blew up (in a bad way) very early and I started a rebuild. Ranger Suarez, however, has been good (even though it didn't matter). At our deadline, I had the chance to deal him straight-up for Bubba Chandler. I passed. Should I have done it?
Justin Mason
12:22
absolutely you should have
Guest

Any concerns with Robbie Ray and an innings limit?
Justin Mason
12:23
I dont think so. I havent heard thats on the table
Last Bat
12:23
Bench bat, daily moves, AL OBP. India, Meidroth, Canzone?
Justin Mason
12:23
India
Slayed
12:23
Two duds in a row for Slade C. Time to jump ship?
Justin Mason
12:23
In a shallow league, yes
