Keeper question: Buxton for $7 or C. Sanchez for $12? Quality pitchers fly off our board for ridiculous prices for context. Thank you!

Justin Mason

12:02

I am taking Sanchez and it isnt that close

Datt Mamon

12:03

On the surface, without knowing full details (and maybe you can't answer due to that), would you consider these deals fair for both teams: Ranger Suarez for Devin Williams; N. Marte for Cam Smith

Justin Mason

12:04

I think I am taking Williams pretty easily. The other one is decent but if its a keeper/dynaty, I want Smith

John Hanke

12:04

Would you take a pitcher in the first round of a 12 person points league?

Justin Mason

12:04

Depends on the point structure, but most likely I would.

money mike

12:05

what are your thoughts on luis arraez to SF from a fantasy perspective?

Justin Mason

12:06

From a fantasy perspective, it's fine. He will lead off for a decent team, but the power and speed won't be great so there is some risk that he is average and runs only. Not the type of guy I want to build around.

AL only

12:06

Please tell us who's going to get saves for ATH, LAA, MIN, TB, and TEX.

Justin Mason

12:08

Athletics - Committee with Mark Leiter Jr, Hogan Harris, and Justin Sterner
Angels - Robert Stephenson and Kirby Yates
Minnesota- Committee with Justin Topa, Taylor Rogers, and Cole Sands
Tex - Robert Garcia and Chris Martin

Yuuuuge

12:09

In a points league (with -1 strikeout penalty), which three of these would you keep: Bregman, Vinnie P, James Wood, Roman Anthony

Justin Mason

12:09

depends on how long you can keep for, but for just this year, I take Wood, Vinnie P and Bregman

12:10

if it's a longer term keeper, I keep Anthony over Bregman

Drew

12:10

Better chance of being on the OD club Bryce Eldridge or Marcelo Mayer?

Justin Mason

12:10

Mayer, but I think both are

Drew

12:10

Should we be buying low on Matt Shaw?

Justin Mason

12:10

I think so. He will find his way into the lineup eventually and be a really solid player.

Guest

12:11

Should we trust Yordan Alvarez?

Justin Mason

12:11

I wouldnt in a deep league, but in a shallow format, the upside is really tantalizing.

Ryno

12:12

Who is your favorite pick 400 or later speed dart?

Justin Mason

12:12

want really late? Jacob Young is going around pick 700 and playing everyday in Washington

Rick

12:12

We just lost Westburg, leaving us only with Montgomery as a 3B eligible, unless Murakami adds it later on. We have very little faith in Westburg staying on the field at this point. 12 teams, H2H points. Thoughts on Mark Vientos as a buy low?

Justin Mason

12:13

Vientos needs a trade tbh. otherwise he is on the short side of a platoon. I'd look elsewhere. Coby Mayo?

Nate

12:14

Hey Justin, keeper question if you have a sec to spare some help! Need to keep 2 in a 10-tm H2H and we lose the round pick of the keepers. JRam (1), Skubal (2), Tucker (2), Acuna (4) and Roman Anthony (24). Leaning JRam then w/the “safety” he provides, ceiling w/Acuna. Thanks!

Justin Mason

12:17

I think I would take J-ram and Acuna or Skubal and acuna. Especially if you think you could get one back in the draft

Kevin

12:17

What do you make of Corey Seager in a 12 team mixed roto league? His ADP is sitting in the 100 range. I get the injury risk but his production at the position on a per game basis is difficult to argue with.

Justin Mason

12:18

In a 12, I am taking Seager all day. The upside is too good and there is decent replacement value on the wire in a 12 and at SS. He is one of my more targeted guys this year in shallow formats.

Pistol Pete

12:18

Hi Justin, I'm in a 14 team Roto League - 30 Rounds...Can keep 5 players - Ben Rice Rd. 24, Jordan Beck Rd. 27, Logan Henderson Rd. 15, Joey Cantillo Rd. 14, Quinn Priester Rd. 13, Cade Horton Rd. 12, Dylan Beavers Rd. 14. Who would your 5 be?

Justin Mason

12:18

Rice, Beavers, Henderson, Beck, and Priester

Datt Mamon

12:19

Long-term, who do you like more: DeLauter or M. Clark?

Justin Mason

12:21

I think I prefer Delauter. The hit tool is good enough and that power from the left side in Cleveland will play nicely. Needs to stay on the field so there is some risk, but I think he is a really interesting prospect. Nothing wrong with Clark, but I have Delauter above him.

Guest

12:21

20 team 6 x6 categories dynasty league. Zyhir Hope for Jacob Wilson. Which side are you taking?

Justin Mason

12:21

Hope unless I am in win now mode.

Chris

12:21

Do you think Wenceel Perez will have good value this year?

Justin Mason

12:22

Jay

12:22

Got some interesting keeper decisions heading into 2026: Keep 3: 8x8 (OBP, SLG, K, L, QS, H)
Mookie - aging, SS only; Yordan - Aging, GP trending down, leg issues; PCA - improving, but brutal 2nd Half; Machado - aging, but 3B is weak; Hader - shoulder scares me, but man, those ratios & K% are awesome;

Justin Mason

12:23

Yordan, PCA, Machado

Jenny

12:23

In a keeper league I need to cut one from this group. Help me pick! Acuna, Julio, Skubal, Gunnar

Justin Mason

12:23

oh wow, this is tough. Gunnar I guess.
