Andrew

12:34

How are you feeling about Andrew Abbott against SD? I thought maybe he's running out gas in the second half, but he pitched 140 IP last year and the strikeouts are still good

Justin Mason

12:35

I think the regression is finally catching up with him. I am probably not starting him in a shallower format. In a deeper one, you probably have to.

Daylen Lile on fire. Anything here ? Deep mixed roto

Justin Mason

12:37

I actually really like him. He was overshadowed by other prospects in Washington, but he was a borderline top 100 guy himself. He is more of an accumulator with good speed, but he can struggle defensively. Great stream this week with the Marlins on the docket because they are by far the worst team in baseball in preventing stolen bases.

Speedy Soto

Profar is a top _ OF next year. Between the PEDs and the suspension, I am not sure how to value him

Justin Mason

12:38

25? I am not sure how to until I do his projections to be honest.

Hazmat Corntail

Hey Justin, thanks for doing these…how are you feeling about Addison Barger looking toward next year? Seemed like a good fit for my dynasty team at 3B but he’s fallen into a hole in the 2nd half

Justin Mason

12:40

Underlying numbers are still pretty good in the second half. His biggest issue is he has started swinging outside the zone more so he needs to just be a bit more patient. I am still a buyer.

Bog

12:41

What are your thoughts on Joel Peguero? His Stuff+ numbers are crazy but he's never had the K% to match

Justin Mason

12:42

Stuff numbers are pretty amazing, but I dont see much here outside of potentially being a pretty good middle reliever.

Yogi

Prospect hunting for next year -- with an eye on ROS. Who you like? Nolan McLean, Jonah Tong, Luis Morales, Cade Horton. Thanks Justin.

Justin Mason

12:43

Love all these guys. McLean is my favorite of the bunch followed by Tong, Morales and Horton, but I dont think you can go wrong here by picking up and of them.

Would you throw Darvich in h2h cat. league?

Justin Mason

12:44

With the Rockies away from Colorado, I would.

Rebuilding Dynasty Roto team about 1-2 years from competing with Francisco Alvarez, Rushing, and Basallo. Which one do you attempt to flip this offseason?

Justin Mason

12:44

Alvarez or Rushing.

JoeG14

12:45

Watch Baty this week ; faces 5 leftys this week

Justin Mason

12:45

Oh damn. Got to sit him this week then.

Nate the great

12:46

Hi Justin. How do you value Eovaldi for next year between his age, injury and the fact that he generally fades in the second half. Is this year an outlier?

Justin Mason

12:47

He obviously wont be this good, but he has pretty much been a very good pitcher when on the mound. You just cant count on him for more than 130-140 innings. I also wouldnt draft him until we have news on the shoulder.

blackjack

12:47

What type of future does Robert Hassell have? Is he a solid regular or a reserve?

Justin Mason

12:47

A reserve

Hammer time!

12:47

Noah Cameron has 2 starts are we riding or dying?

Justin Mason

12:47

We are riding

blackjack

12:47

Will Dalton Rushing break through next year? What type of role will he have with the Dodgers? Or will he be traded?

Justin Mason

12:47

I think he needs a trade to have value. It wont come in LA.

jerry

12:48

any world where you start a hot nate lowe over a cold tork?

Justin Mason

12:48

Not for me.

Mark

12:48

14 team dynasty, OBP league. Jordan Walker seems like a lost cause and it seems that I have better options. Keep him for next year?

Justin Mason

12:48

I dont think you need to.

Yuuuuge

12:48

Points league, who should I start out of these three: Waldrep vs HOU, Morton @ MIA, Singer @ ATH

Justin Mason

12:49

Morton and Waldrep. I am not risking singer in Sacramento.

RAGBRAI

12:49

Offense is floundering when I need them most. I threw a water cooler fell of Gatorade at my computer and went on a rant. Anything else I can do to fire them up the last three weeks?

Justin Mason

12:50

Maybe some positive reinforcement. I have been watching Ted Lasso and am on Season 2, so maybe you could bring in a sports psychologist? Point awarded.

Adenolith

12:50

No question, just depression today. 104 innings, 68 earned runs in the first round playoff matchup. Only had to beat a 4.2 ERA and 1.3 WHIP and missed them both by a huge margin. Kirby, Ryan, and Hoffman were big contributors, but basically everybody crapped the bed. Oof...

Justin Mason

12:50

Again, this is why I dont like H2H.

Hammer time!

12:50

Shawn Armstrong do we trust him to be an effective closer?

Justin Mason

12:50

I think so especially in deeper formats.
