Broken Bat

What do see as odds go in regards to Cubs: 1. Trade Niko before season starts
Justin Mason
12:26
I think there is a 90% chance he is moved
Send him to my Giants please
Dodgers Blue
12:27
Assuming McLean is an untouchable, who of Tong, Sproat and Scott gets traded and what does a return on that trade look like for the Mets?
Justin Mason
12:28
I think tong is the most likely moved, but I do wonder if the lack of Mets moves this offseason is indicative of them not moving any of their prospects and using 2026 as a "reload year" instead of a rebuild. I think they could instead move some of their older rotation pieces and just roll with a lot of the young guys.

How confident are you spending a 2nd rounder on Kurtz? It’s hard to fake 36 dingers even in SacTown.
Justin Mason
12:29
I am fine spending a second rounder on Kurtz, just not pick 18. I want to get him around 25 or in the back end of the second round, not the front half

I checked out Ben Rice’s savant page and I had flashbacks to the movie Carrie.  That’s a lot of red…tell me why I shouldn’t get too carried (no pun intended) away?
Justin Mason
12:30
You should get carried away. All that red and catcher eligible hitter hitting in the middle of Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge is a dream scenario
Carter
12:30
Reading thru this chat…. You think we miss half the ‘27 season? At that point both sides might as well just dig in and skip the entire season and find a long term CBA solution that can make sure there’s no work stoppages for a decade
Justin Mason
12:31
I think if we get to the All-Star Break the players have to be willing to just lose the season. The owners wont want a full season loss including playoff so it is really up to the players to hold their ground because the owners will be willing to lose most of the season but not the postseason

Hello sir. Please pick two keepers from this list. Cost is the same for all. 16 tm 6x6 H2H OPS league. Riley Greene, Vinnie P, Hunter Goodman & Oneil Cruz.
Justin Mason
12:32
Vinnie P and Goodman
12:33
In a one catcher league, I could see the argument for Greene over Goodman

Chandler Simpson a much better fantasy player than real one and the Rays have a million OF.  Can he hold onto a job enough to get 30 SB?  50?  I can live with zero HR if he's contending for the league lead in SB.
Justin Mason
12:33
I think he can get30+ for sure and I do think the Rays will trade an outfielder or two before the start of the season.

Piggbyacking off of the question earlier about players being drafted outside the top 150 to finish in the top 75, which player or players currently being drafted in the top 75 finish outside of the top 175
Justin Mason
12:37
Not including injury risk:
Hitter: Pete Crow-Armstrong Pitcher: Blake Snell
Pitcher was really hard though
Rob

15 team mixed dynasty points - keep which 2 of these: Manzardo, Baty, A Vaughn?
Justin Mason
12:37
Vaughn, but I love Baty

How much do you drop a players value when playing in a pitchers park? Looking at Vinny P and Josh Naylor specifically here
Justin Mason
12:40
Really depends on the hitter. A guy like Vinnie P is going to hit well in any park. Naylor I have more questions about how the power translates in Seattle though he did hit nine homers after being traded in just 210 PAs
F--- Rob Manfred
12:40
Thoughts on Cam Smith for this year?
Justin Mason
12:40
I think he really needs to hit in Spring Training or he will be in the minors to start the season
CJBaseball16
12:41
Farley, Lowe. Simpson. Mullins. Something has to give with that all LH outfield right?
Justin Mason
12:41
I think Lowe gets moved
CJBaseball16
12:41
Justin are you or Paul playing in LABR or Four Wars this
Justin Mason
12:41
I am playing in both!

(Last one from me I promise) Mike Burrows in a 12 team dynasty, do we like the upside in Houston off waivers? One of those guys I have always had an affinity for that I can't explain.
Justin Mason
12:43
Burrows is not super interesting to me considering the command ups and downs and moving to Houston from PNC. He will have better win potential, but he is more of a streamer in 12s
Hooha
12:43
I haven't heard much hype around Carson Benge for the upcoming year, yet he's a highly rated prospect and currently penciled into a starting job in a good offense.  What am I missing?
Justin Mason
12:45
I think he is an interesting deep league play if he can win that job. I keep waiting for the Mets to do something that knocks him out of it, but they havent yet. He doesnt really have a carrying tool for fantasy. He could be an accumulator if he has the role

Dodgers Blue
12:45
What is the likelihood the Braves make a move for a SP given that all of Sale, Strider, Schwelly and Reynaldo have dealt with recent injuries and Waldrep has all of 11 MLB starts to his credit?  Especially since both Holmes and Reynaldo have relief experience, I'd think a championship caliber team would want one more reliable guy in their rotation and use both of these guys out of the pen.  Or do you think they are plenty comfortable with Holmes and Elder getting plenty of starts if something goes wrong?
Justin Mason
12:46
Feels like they are going to roll with what they have, but I would love to see them open up the pocketbook for a guy like Framber and really stabilize that rotation. I agree it is way too risky for them to go into the season with the injury risk they have. They need a horse, but I havent heard them linked to any

Hey Justin. Jeremy Pena's 2025 breakout seems to be fueled by a) a .345 BABIP and b) the decision/ability to start absolutely torching fastballs. As an owner of Pena at $11 in an Ottoneu FGpts 12 team league, does the ability to hit fastballs well correlate well YoY? His fastball xwoba last year was up there with some A++ hitters.
Justin Mason
12:49
I believe they do correlate well and I like for what he is, a very good accumulator. I think the BABIP regresses some, but no reason he can be a 15/20 guy with a .270 average
CJBaseball16
12:49
Full season of Simpson with no Mangum behind him. Does he reach 50sbs? Also thoughts on a Santander bounceback?
Justin Mason
12:50
I think Simpson definitely can if they trade an outfielder, but there is risk that he ends up back in the minors if there are any struggles. Rick/Reward play
12:51
As far as Santander goes, I think 2025 is an injury washout we can just ignore. If healthy, I think he bounces back to his 2024 levels of being a 30 homer guys with a 240-250 average
