As long as he pitches well, no reason to think he cant lock that down all season
Paddy

Is Schwarber a top 5 hitter in leagues with OPS?
Justin Mason
12:25
most likely yes
Paddy
12:26
Seem like everyone is in on Sal Stewart as a breakout. Do you have playing time concerns after the addition of Suarez?
Justin Mason
12:26
I dont have tremendous concerns. I think he plays over Steer.
Trappy

Does Riley Greene have another gear and become a superstar this year?
South Sider
12:26
We've seen .350 OBP Riley Greene, and we've seen 35 HR Riley Greene. Do you think we could see both in the same season?
Justin Mason
12:28
Two greene questions in a row. I dont think we see him put it all together and become a superstar. When he hit 36 homers, he did at the cost of his contact skills and approach. I think he is still figuring out who he is and he will be valuable, but I dont see the next level coming yet.
Paddy

As a Giant's fan, do you anticipate Heliot Ramos taking another step or more of the same?
Justin Mason
12:28
More of the same

I have a keeper decision that I'm not sure about. I don't want to go into much detail though. Do you think I should do it or not?
Justin Mason
12:28
Point awarded!
Daro
12:29
Will I be ok if I trade JDuran while replacing him with BReynolds?
Justin Mason
12:29
I wouldnt do that
South Sider

Andrew Vaughn hit .198 with a 3% walk rate with the White Sox. He hit .308 with a 9% walk rate with the Brewers. Do you think we should expect him to be this guy all year? I mean, he had a projected 70 hit tool coming out of college.
Justin Mason
12:30
I am a huge believer in Vaughn as long as he is healthy. I think he could be a massive power/average guy and should have all the plate appearances in Milwaukee.

Savant has a section that shows player HRs by park. Do you know, is that if they hit all their HRs in that park, or just if they switched home parks?
Justin Mason
12:30
If they hit all their homers in that particular park

In dynasty would you be looking to sell O'Neil Cruz?
Justin Mason
12:30
I would wait for a hot streak and then sell

Does WBC participation concern you for your drafts? Maybe less so hitters, but it makes me want to fade the starters a couple dollars.
Justin Mason
12:31
I dont think there is good enough data to suggest we fade WBC players.
BigD
12:31
What are you doing with Jo Adell? Will he hit 37 HR again, or get sent to minors?
Justin Mason
12:32
I am a long time believer in Adell and while that probably makes me a bit biased, I still believe. he has made gains every year in the hit tool and while he hit just .236 last season, he deserved better. I think there is some prospect fatigue, but I am a buyer on him
Salty
12:33
I'm having a hard time finding a sleeper team to win their division.  I just think with the CBA issue, the haves are really gunning for it this year to accumulate as much revenue as they can, at the expense of the have nots.  Are the Yankees (4th place Steamer projection) or Rangers sleeper-ish enough?  Any teams you like ahead of the start of spring training?
Justin Mason
12:33
Rangers are an interesting team because no one in the West really improved. The Royals are a really fun team to keep an eye on as well. For all the shade we throw at the Pirates, they made some interesting moves and have a ton of young talent.
Bog
12:34
Will Arraez be platooned in SF? What were your thoughts on the signing
Justin Mason
12:34
I dont think he will be. I'm not a huge fan of the signing because he is so bad defensively, but there is no such thing as a bad 1-year deal so at least it's not a long term investment.
Lord Thunder
12:35
Is Tatis ever going to reach the 30 homer level again?
Justin Mason
12:36
I think he will at some point, but he needs to put the ball in the air more to do it. He definitely has the power and approach, but a 34% flyball rate isnt doing it.
Jake
12:36
What kind of year do you think Eury Perez has?
Justin Mason
12:36
I think he could be a top 15 starter this year
the only thing that holds him back potentially is the Marlins not helping him with wins.
Guest
12:36
Does first base feel like the deepest position to you? And in 12 team leagues, are you comfortable with a lower-end starter? Ie. Aranda? Tork?
Justin Mason
12:37
It is super deep and unless I get a guy I love earlier, I am waiting for Tork/Vaughn/ Aranda later
Hercules Hercules!
12:37
What are the final statlines for Sal Stewart and Moises Ballesteros and with Big Sal qualify at 3rd and Moises Grande at C going forward?
Justin Mason
12:38
I dont think Stewart plays much third nor do I think Ballesteros plays catcher. I dont have my projections handy right now, so the other part, you may have to come back for.
Dave
12:38
Does Yandy Diaz have a bounce back year? He has really solid power numbers a few years ago and saw a drop last year.
Justin Mason
12:38
I think he is who he is at this point and going back the the trop wont help the power numbers
Hercules Hercules!
12:39
Which lefty prospect bat ends the year with more HR: Jac Caglianone, Owen Caissie, Daulton Rushing, Carson Benge, Kevin McGonigle, Samuel Basallo, JJ Wetherholt, Colt Emerson, or the field?
