South Sider
12:40
How soon do you think we'll see Max Clark in Detroit this year?
Justin Mason
12:41
Mid-season? Hard to tell with how good the Tigers are. If they need him and he's hitting well he could be up sooner, but they could also afford to keep him down if he's not
Paul
12:41
Do you view Yanier Diaz as a top 10 catcher this year? Is there still more growth?
Justin Mason
12:42
I have him at nine right now, but I dont see a lot of growth there for him at this point

Which wounded sparrow returns with the biggest vengeance: Christian Scott, Gavin Stone, Drew Thorpe, or Drey Jameson?
Justin Mason
12:42
Scott
Hazmat Corntail

14t dynasty league, 7x7 (standard five with QS for SP): if you can only keep two of these three, who do you keep: Boyle, Henderson, Messick.
Justin Mason
12:42
Henderson and Messick

Will Max Anderson be up with the Tigers at some point this season?
Justin Mason
12:43
I think he will but he needs an injury or two
Lord Thunder
12:43
If healthy all season, Bubba Chandler will be the Pirates' second-, third-, fourth-, fifth-best starter? Or worse?
Justin Mason
12:43
second

I was thinking maybe the Pirates, too - Btw their good pitching and a Cruz comeback, that's the start of something.  Cruz's K-rate is brutal, but considering his high EV/HH rate, a .260 BABIP was probably a bit unlucky last year.
Justin Mason
12:44
I love Cruz's raw skills but he has such a bad hit tool that we are always going to have big ups and downs until he fixes that and I honestly don't know if he can
Bart Oates
12:44
How do you view Junior Caminero as a dynasty asset?  Inflated stats last year at Steinbrenner field? Likely to stick at 3B or real risk to move to 1B in near future?
Justin Mason
12:46
Caminero's power plays anywhere. He actually hit more homers on the road than he did at Steinbrenner last year so I am not worried about that at all. I think he moves to first at some point, but not in the near future
Lord Thunder
12:46
Do you dig into NPB players potentially coming over to MLB, or do you wait until they're posted to be interested?
Justin Mason
12:47
I tend to wait until they are posted or there is talk about them being posted in the next season. Usually start looking for those types of guys in September/October and I go and talk to people that cover the NPB
Need more questions!
Hercules Hercules!
12:48
Given what you just said, which NPB player are you the most bullish on for 2026?
Justin Mason
12:48
Okamoto. I think he is a really good pure hitter. I definitely will be watching Imai and Murakami in spring for different reasons
Lord Thunder
12:48
Chances that Romy Gonzalez gets significant playing time this season?
Justin Mason
12:49
Seems like he is at this point. I really thought Boston would go get someone else to play second though
JT
12:49
Why isn’t Cam Schlittler a top-100 arm? What’s different between him and Eury or McLean?
Justin Mason
12:50
I have him right below those guys, but I do agree that people are sleeping on him a bit. Was really impressive last season. The park is a little scary but the stuff is unreal if he can control it.

Is there a way to counter an all RP strategy in a H2H cats league? Regular season, it's not really a big deal, but when 2 week playoff matchups come, it's a fairly big advantage in 3 categories.
Justin Mason
12:51
you can do it yourself or you can go 1-2 elite starters and the rest relievers.
Lord Thunder
12:51
Of the highly rated young starting pitchers who debuted last season, who is the best long term?
Justin Mason
12:51
McLean
TB
12:51
It's my first time doing an Ottoneu league. Do you have any recommendations for doing a team for the first time?
Justin Mason
12:52
oh, I am not the guy to ask. I am not a very good Ottoneu guy. Chad is the man for those
Hercules Hercules!
12:52
As a thought experiment: which 'upside type' are you generally gonna prefer: the Michael King Special (aka a guy who did it before but got hurt) or the Nolan McLean Cuisine (aka a rookie who showed out in a limited role but hasn't truly 'done the do' in MLB over a sustained period of time)?
Justin Mason
12:52
The McLean type
Positions
12:52
In a 14-team dynasty points league I have sad trombone noises at 3B (Jordan Lawlar) but Elly De La Cruz at SS and Corey Seager at UT. Do you think either of those guys could move to third in the next couple years or should I be looking to trade from some good OF depth for a starter at the position? Thanks, Justin.
Justin Mason
12:53
I dont see either moving to 3B personally
Adenolith

It's my first time doing an NFBC league this year. Any advice?
Justin Mason
12:54
Volume wins. People love to take risks, but what really pays off are the guys that play day in and day out. Taking on injury risk with no IL spots can sink you. Pitching goes a lot faster in these leagues and FAAB is much more competitive. I have a bunch of High Stakes NFBC primers coming out on Fantasy Pros this month and next month, so definitely check those out.

How would you order Landen Roupp, Ian Seymour, and Braxton Garrett for 2026?
