Cincinnati Reds rotation: what do you think happens with Burns and Lowder this year?
Justin Mason
12:31
Burns will start the year in the rotation and while I love his upside, I worry about him having had elbow issues last year and the violent delivery. Lowder probably is first man up and I really do like him, but I need to watch him pitch and be healthy before I take the dive on him.

Is Robert Hassell any good?
Justin Mason
12:31
I dont think he is

What’s your process for making your own projections?
Justin Mason
12:33
So I start with something similar to three year averages and then I go player by player adjusting every fantasy stat. It takes a long time and as always I am behind. If you want a version of it, take your favorite projection system and then adjust the plate appearances on a program like Smart Fantasy Baseball.

Does Ronel Blanco pitch for Houston this season?
Justin Mason
12:35
I think he will but I have no idea what to expect from him
12:36
hes probably not back until late season

Is Logan Henderson gonna nab a rotation spot? Him or Baz for a back end guy?
Justin Mason
12:36
I think Henderson will but there is a chance he starts in AAA. I lean Baz

If you were the Dodgers, would you make Ohtani a one-way player (hitter) because of the injury risk from pitching?
Justin Mason
12:36
I would

I am really liking Jeff McNeil as a deep sleeper with dual eligibility for a 20 HR .270 type season either in the middle or top of the A's underrated lineup. Am I crazy?
Justin Mason
12:37
I think the 20 homers is pretty ambitious but I could see 15

What are your thoughts on Reid Detmers? Dude has nasty stuff, just hasn't put it together as an SP. Decent as MRP last year, going back to SP this year. Quick tip: never keep your chap stick next to your glue stick
Justin Mason
12:37
I wish they would make him a closer. He was so good as a reliever and would love to just see him be elite out of the pen.

Will Robby Snelling start the year in the Marlins rotation?
Justin Mason
12:38
I don't think he does, but he and Thomas White could be up early.
Lord Thunder

Will Tatis Jr. ever have another season that matches his first 3?
Justin Mason
12:39
Will he? Probably, but I wouldnt bet on it for 2026.
Joe

Haven't heard much on Bubic this year. Is he someone you like late in the draft?
Justin Mason
12:39
yeah, I think he is worth gambling in shallower formats, but the injury risk makes him difficult to gamble on in deeper ones. So in a 10 or 12 team league, I would draft him and hope he is healthy.

Which players do you see getting significantly undervalued in drafts and why do you think that is?
Justin Mason
12:40
Andrew Vaughn and Max Muncy. I think they are being overlooked because of their smaller samples last season, but when on the field, they were great and are going way too late.
Jeff

Is the market sleeping on Marcell Ozuna? He had a hip issue last year that he played through and hampered him. He's a year removed from back-to-back seasons with good average and 39+ HRs. Old man with dirty laundry discount?
Justin Mason
12:41
I think they probably are and it has to do what you mentioned but also his late signing to the Pirates. Very good value right now.

Is this Jack Leiter's year?
Justin Mason
12:42
I think it is. He has great skills, is in a good park. I think he takes a nice step forward.
Ryno

Where does Michael Kopech sign? Do we care?
Justin Mason
12:42
I am honestly really surprised he hasnt yet. I wonder if something is wrong in the medicals.
Lord Thunder
12:42
Last year was incredible. Would you take the over or under at 40 HRs for Raleigh this season?
Justin Mason
12:42
Give me the under, but just barely
Dave W

If Coby Mayo starts off solid while Westburg is out, what do you think happens when he returns?
Justin Mason
12:43
I am not banking on Westburg returning so I am grabbing as many shares of Mayo as I can

Is there any(!!!) anything on Spenser Strider? Total news black out and coincidentally broken radar gun. I cannot even find random fans videos or sightings. Has Strider only participated in super secret work outs? Does Strider really exist?
Justin Mason
12:44
Let's be a little patient. It's only Feb 23. We will get news soon. Also, Point Awarded!
Tanner bell

How much do you reference your work with tanner bells tool during drafts, vs just using it for prep before hand?
Justin Mason
12:45
I use it a lot more than I mention it, but it is such a great tool for such a good price.
