Is the Sal Stewart hype train real enough to justify taking him in a keeper league over some of the other more steady CI types  that usually go in the late 100s (Willson Contreras, Alec Burleson, etc)?
Justin Mason
12:41
I think the upside warrants it
Steve E
12:42
With Rojas all but officially gonzo, what can we expect from Justin Crawford? Looks like there's no other CFs rostered and he's got the gig.
Justin Mason
12:42
I think he is the guy in center. I would expect a decent average and 25+ stolen bases without much pwoer.
Vic
12:42
Do you value hitting or pitching high in the draft in keeper leagues?
Justin Mason
12:42
hitting. Pitching gets hurt too often
Jojo
12:42
is Colt Keith a breakout candidate?
Justin Mason
12:42
I think he is but I have always been a fan

Anywhere we can see your individual rankings?
Justin Mason

on the sleeper and the bust patreon

Can Miguel Vargas go 25/10?
Justin Mason
12:43
I dont think so
Eliot Lux
12:43
Thoughts on McGonigle as a ultra-late draft pick? 300-325 area?
Justin Mason
12:43
If he is going there in my drafts, he is on my team in a heartbeat. He will be going top 150 in most NFBC leagues

Should I be concerned about Rice's playing time after the Yanks signing Goldy? What sort of PAs do you expect for Rice this year?
Justin Mason
12:44
I still think he finds 600+ plate appearances between first, catcher and DH. The yankees will get hurt like they always do.
Bobby
12:44
can c Montgomery have success with his contact rates?
Justin Mason
12:45
If he maintains the z-contact and O-swing he did last year, he will be fine. His spring numbers there are even better than last season, though it's a super small sample

This is how I rank these pitchers for a 5x5 12 team roto where a player can be retained 3 rds higher each year; what would you change (assume I can keep them for the next 5 years based on where I am going to select them): B Ashcraft, P Messick, Simeon W-Richardson, Mick Abel, Jacob Lopez, Luis Morales, Ian Seymour, Shane Smith
Justin Mason
12:46
Messick, Seymour, Abel, Ashcraft, Morales, Lopez, Smith, SWR

Thanks for doing these, Justin!  5 keep forever league.  6x6 head to head, OPS vice avg, QS vs W.  I'm keeping BWJ, Gunnar (util), and Skenes.  Last two keepers are down to Kurtz, JRod, and Chourios.  Advice, please?
Justin Mason
12:47
Chourio and J-Rod.
Grateful
12:47
Thanks Justin, I can select one in a Stratomatic keeper league:  Eldridge, Stewart, Caglionone.  Please help me order in your preference.

18 team dynasty league: I can move Michael Busch and Cam Schlittler for Logan Gilbert. Thoughts? Theres a salary component, but for the sake of a simple question I will leave that out
Justin Mason
12:47
It's super risky because of Gilbert's elbow issues last year. I probably keep the pair
Jim
12:48
Are you buying Tolle as a long term stud and, if so, do you buy him at $13 as a 3 year keeper even if he's not going to start '26 in the rotation?
Justin Mason
12:48
I probably wouldn't spend $13
Adenolith

Do you generally have a value target in auctions? Like, I've heard people say they'll always stop bidding $2 before their projected values. Is this something you adhere to?
Justin Mason
12:49
for the most part that is what I am doing. I don't want to pay at value because there is no profit there. I want to extract as much value as I can from each spot. So for the more expensive players I want at least $1-3 of value and that should grow as the draft goes on where I want more like $3-5 in the mid rounds.

please tell me Dylan Crews will hit about .230......
Justin Mason
12:49
I will not
Daylight Savings
12:49
Hope you have recovered…you sounded tired yesterday. Also, Daylight Savings should be a 3 day weekend. That’s all
Justin Mason
12:50
yeah, I was exhausted. Waking up early on a Sunday to record is one thing. Losing an hour of sleep on top of that is just criminal
Jim
12:50
What is Grant Taylor's role in '26?  MIRP who becomes a starter next season, or do they acknowledge his present ability and let him close this year?
Justin Mason
12:50
Sounds like they are going to stretch him out to start in season
MF Luder
12:50
Maybe I am believing too much in Rays magic (is that even still a thing?) But I think Gavin Lux could be an All Star 2B this season. Thoughts?
Justin Mason
12:51
I think you need to lay off the Ray's magic juice
Eric S.
12:51
Who are you some of your deepest starting pitching sleepers?
Justin Mason
12:51
I am a big fan of Messick, Chad Patrick, Mick Abel, Zebby Matthews and Zach Eflin
