Diaz. I am bummed by the Yankees bringing back Goldy

Robert

It seems like Colton Cowser might be the starting CF for the Orioles this season, do you think he bounces back this season ?

Justin Mason

12:39

He should with a return to health. I have always been a fan.

South Sider

What's your outlook for Eugenio Suarez back in Cincinnati? At age 34, I'm worried he's on the brink of his production falling off a cliff.

Justin Mason

12:39

I think he will be the power guy he always has been with big ups and downs. Moving to Cincy makes his price more expensive, but he should mash

Is Saalfrank really closing in AZ like Roster Resource suggests?

Justin Mason

12:40

I think it's a committee with him and Ginkel leading the way. I wouldnt be surprised if they traded for someone or brought in another arm via free agency though because that is not the arms I want in the ninth

Looser

8 team H2H points hitters & pitchers; draft pk 6. Skubal or hitter?

Justin Mason

12:41

Skubal depending on the points structure.

Salty

12:41

Did you know all stadiums have humidors? I thought it was only the launching pads, but Pham-graphs mentioned PNC's was broke last year. He didn't mention if it was used for the baseballs or to hold the cigars for when teammates have babies.

The Red Sox have a 3B! Is Caleb Durbin a name worth considering in deep leagues?

Justin Mason

12:43

absolutely. The park wont do him many favors for his power, but he has a great hit tool, speed and will pick up 2B eligibility where he didnt already have it. I do worry the price will jump some after this move, but he is definitely on my radar.

Looser

lol …. Hit microphone by mistake, Siri TV

Justin Mason

ok, that made me laugh lol

H2H Cats 12 teamer with QS… Been looking at early season park factors from Kiri Olers article last season… any cold weather east coast/midwest arms you like to draft late for upside?

Justin Mason

12:44

honestly, not something I have put in my process, but I will reconsider that.

Hazmat Corntail

12:44

Where are you on Josh Lowe in 14-15t dynasty leagues? The upside looks pretty good in my UT slot, but the downside makes him a WW guy outside of any hot streaks. Would you keep him over guys like Jung or Schanuel, or even a distant rookie like Long or Clifford?

Justin Mason

12:46

I am very interested to see how he looks in spring. I think he will get plenty of run in Anaheim and it's a sneaky fun lineup they have put together. There will be big ups and downs because the hit tool isn't great so if you want to move on, I understand.

Look At This Sotograph

12:46

Thanks for doing this chat Justin! I can keep two value keepers: Woodruff 12th round; Cade Smith 13th round; Bradish 15th round; Ben Rice 15th round. I'm leaning Woodruff & Bradish.

Justin Mason

12:46

I agree

Lou

12:47

In a 10 Team AL Only with a $260 cap, would you keep Walker Jenkins and Jasson Dominguez at $10 if that meant you could keep them next year at $14 and 2028 at $18

Justin Mason

12:48

I don't know that I would keep Jenkins at that price, but I do think Jasson is debatable. I just worry about the playing time out of the gate if everyone is healthy. I dont think I keep either if I am competing this year.

Ben

12:48

Name a few SPs outside the top 50-60 at position that you are most excited to roster this year

Justin Mason

12:51

Ryne Nelson, Troy Melton, Grayson Rodriguez, Zebby Matthews, Ian Seymour, Jonah Tong, Andrew Painter, Chad Patrick, Tyler Mahle, Payton Tolle, Slade Cecconi, Zach Eflin, Brandon Sproat, Rhett Lowder, Nick Martinez

Lord Thunder

12:51

Is this season a bounce-back for Luis Robert Jr., or more of the same?

Justin Mason

12:51

More of the same

South Sider

12:51

The White Sox signed Eric Fedde today, presumably to be in the rotation. Do you see any fantasy relevance there?

Justin Mason

12:51

not really

BTinVT

12:51

Sheets numbers much better when not a DH. Do you put stock in that.

Justin Mason

12:52

There is a ~10% DH penalty for guys who play there regularly, so that makes sense. Maybe with Andujar at DH regularly, Sheets is a bit better.

CJBaseball16

12:52

I feel like I'm going to be one of the few on Austin Wells again this year. I get it have to supplement with some decent avg guys, but I feel the rice Hype, plus the deepness at the position overall has Wells as a nice late dart throw

Justin Mason

12:53

I tend to agree. I think there is a sneaky good Wells season coming at some point for Wells. His swing is perfect for that park and the hit tool is better than people realize.

Beano

12:53

NL 10 team 5x5. Who plays 1b for the Rockies? Who plays 1b for the Marlins & new: who plays 3b for the Brewers?

Justin Mason

12:54

Rockies - Blaine Crim
Miami - Liam Hicks
Brewers - Joey Ortiz

Broken Bat

12:54

In the Cubs pen… Maton or Harvey handcuffed to Palencia?

Justin Mason

12:55

I dont think I would worry too much about the handcuff there. Palencia is the guy unless they bring in someone else imo
