Hi! Jason 12-tm, H2H, cat., w OBP replacing BA, 9 hitters incld. DH, 6 bench slots, daily moves, auction draft … Need to fill all my OFF slots except DH (have $62 2-way Ohtani) and 3rd ($3 Muncy). Only have $$ for one $30+ hitter. Rank Tucker, Carrol, Tatis, Gunnar for 5-cat anchor (not incld. JRam because of Muncy)? Thanks!
Justin Mason
12:29
Tucker, Carrol, Tatis, Gunnar

I've got Connor Norby at $10 in an NL-only keeper league with 5x5 categories. There's such a dearth of talent at 3B, should I keep him and hope he plays like he did in 2024? Gracias!
Justin Mason
12:29
I probably wouldnt

Do you think Jake Burger returns to form and injuries were to blame or is this who he is?What do you call a frozen hamburger patty - a Brrr-ger
Justin Mason
12:30
I think he could, but there is risk because the Rangers did send him down last year and he is prone to slumps
4 Keeps
12:30
Hi Justin! AL Only OBP 10 team keeper. Can you pick a couple favorites from Gunnar 33, Springer 15, Aranda 7, Bednar 10, Varsho 4, Bubic 1…?
Justin Mason
12:31
Gunnar, Springer, Bednar, Aranda, Varsho, Bubic in that order
Oops

In a 12-team roto league where I had the draft date wrong and ended up with an auto-draft team that I actually like ... except I have no closers. Wire has no real good options beyond Taylor Rogers. Beyond adding him, any suggestions for getting out of the SV hole?
Justin Mason
12:32
Riley O'Brien, Kirby Yates, Justin Sterner

30 tm dynasty points, keep forever.

Recently acquired Yordan Alvarez (eligible at OF), but I'm concerned about his knees.  Will he maintain OF eligibility for some time, or should I flip him before I'm stuck with a UT-only player?
Justin Mason
12:32
I don't think he retains it moving forward. They need to protect him.

Who do you like more this year, and who (if different) do you like more long term? Jonah Tong vs Parker Messick
Justin Mason
12:33
I like Tong more long term, but I do love Messick and he is better short term
Steve
12:33
How does Jeremy Pena pinky fracture change his outlook this year? Besides potentially missing a bit of early April, is he now potentially a discount target?
Justin Mason
12:34
I just lower the plate appearances. I am not worried it will be a long term issue that lingers.

10 team roto league that uses QS and OBP, 10 P slots, 1 C. Keep 2 of Ben Rice (C-eligible) for $1 or Emmet Sheehan for $1? Both could be kept 2026 & 2027.
Justin Mason
12:34
keep both
Shane Belieber
12:34
Shane Bieber went undrafted in my 12-team roto league; worth an add and an IL stash? Would have to drop one of Gil, Mize or Flaherty
Justin Mason
12:34
I dont think you need to

Paul Sewald is showing a 2mph velocity increase from last year. What's your feeling on him taking the closer job and Ginkel being the set-up man?
Justin Mason
12:35
Sewald is another RP spec I am buying right now. I think he is the guy to start the year in Arizona as long as he is healthy.

Oniel Cruz his .259 in 2024 and right at the Mendoza line last season. Which guy is he really?
Justin Mason
12:35
probably closer to the mendoza line.

Points lg, $300 cap 35 slots, no MI/CI slot. 3 year keeper window, all are entering year two. Can you rank these? Muncy $3 Ramos $4 Butler $11 Castro $2. I need to keep two.
Justin Mason
12:35
Muncy, Castro, Butler, Ramos
Mika
12:35
Is this the season Casey Mize becomes dominant? A couple years removed from surgery and with experience and a massive arsenal
Justin Mason
12:36
I don't see dominance in Mize. I think he is more of a mid rotation guy that is fine but not much more than an SP 3 or 4

Keeper advice, h2h 7x7 (hits, obp/qs, holds). Keep player in round they were drafted (last round if waiver pick up). Think I have to keep Roman Anthony in 26th. Other options for second keeper: Eury (25th), Hunter Green (9th), Joe Ryan (10th), Bradish (25th), JRam (1st, will probably be picking 10th in 1st round).
Justin Mason
12:37
Anthony, Eury, Ryan, JRam are the ones I could keep.

More 30th dynasty

How do you best build MLB depth in a league like that?  I inherited the team, and it has some good players (everybody got a real MLB/MiLB roster when the league started some years ago), but very little MLB depth and some of my guys are almost unplayable.  I can't even fill my bullpen with MLB guys.  How do I fix this?
Justin Mason
12:39
Dynasty is about committing to your strategy. If your MLB team is bad, commit to being terrible and rebuilding that farm. I am in a super deep league like this and have made mistakes, like trading Konnor Griffin to get out of a bad contract, that I now regret.
Jeffrey
12:39
Sorry, got cut-off earlier. Pick 2 keepers in a 10-team roto league that uses QS & OBP, 10 P slots, 1 C slot. Michael Busch $1, Ben Rice $1, Emmet Sheehan $1, Jeremy Pena $3. All could be kept both 2026 & 2027.
Justin Mason
12:40
Rice and Sheehan still
Tom D
12:40
Hey Justin, I'm in a dynasty league, what side of the trade do you like more, Konnor Griffin & Jackson Chourio or Colt Emerson & Tatis
Justin Mason
12:40
Griffin side

Hey Jason! Need some assistance with final keeper. 12-team weekly category, keep 12 + 4minor leaguers w/3$ inflation 260$ budget (weirdly 5 hitting but only 4 pitching categories, one of which is SVHLD so SP are max 3 category contributors, very old league with attachment to 9 categories because games are 9 innings). 3$ J. Wilson (i have gunner), 6$ R. Laureano (OF is a weakness), 23$ Yelich, 23$ Altuve, 26$ Snell, 3$ Boyd. Very competitive team but tight on budget with other keepers (and sob that i will have to drop a 35$ mookie who has been on the roster since he was in AA)
Justin Mason
12:41
I would keep Wilson, Yelich and Boyd. Probably not the others.
