I think I would go up to about $15 on McGonigle. I would probably go 5-7 on Hoskins. I wouldn't stash Santander.
Bill Warts
12:29
Best craptastic closer options, Sewald, Yates, Rogers, O’Brien, Vest, Jojo? Shallow mixed, thanks!
Justin Mason
12:29
Rogers for me.
I have been drafting a lot of Rogers, Yates and Sewald

How should I think about Emmet Sheehan's trade value in dynasty leagues right now? Hold and wait for results to match expectations? Or, trade sooner while expectations remain high? Thanks as always for doing this chat.
Justin Mason
12:30
I think I am holding right now. If the Dodgers aren't worried, I wouldn't freak out yet.
Maybe move him as soon as he has a good start if you are worried

Does CJ Kayfus have a chance of 500 ABs given Cleveland OF situation?
Justin Mason
12:31
I think I would cap it at 425, but there is an opportunity given the state of their left field situation or if DeLauter gets hurt again.

14 tm h2h with a 7 start per week max where pitching categories are: WHIP, ERA, W, K, QS & SV/HOLD; how do we feel about my staff: Skenes, E. Perez, M. King, M. Gore, M. Meyer, A. Munoz, K. Yates with IL of G. Cole, possibly N. Lodolo, H. Greene ... I think I am over reacting since the last 2 have gotten hurt recently
Justin Mason
12:32
I don't love it considering how many you have already lost. I do love Meyer this year and Eury as well, but I am not as sold on King and Gore.

Dylan Crews as Keeper... maintain cruise, or crash, 15-team, 4 OF, 4-man reserve...🤔
Justin Mason
12:33
I wouldn't keep him if I had to reserve him. You'll need those spots.
Jesse

Good morning, Justin, I'm curious why you haven't been hyping up Sonny Gray and Ranger Suarez more knowing they're going to get Andrew Bailey's influence? Gray in particular feels like a steal as an SP 3.
Justin Mason
12:34
Love Gray as a cheap option this year. As long as he is healthy, I think he returns nice value. Suarez I am a little more bearish on. The infield defense isn't near as good in Boston.

OH NOW THE SEASON CAN START!
AD

Hey Justin, thanks for the response regarding my strange pitching categories above! One detail I forgot, we are limited to 4 free agent adds per week. Does that change your calculus on the streaming at all?
Justin Mason
12:35
Maybe a little, but I would just make sure I am planning things out a bit more. Maybe add one more mid rotation guy.
Rick
12:35
Thanks for your input and props for getting through so many questions so quickly.
Justin Mason
12:35
Thanks! I try to answer as many questions as I can.
Brice Matthews
12:35
How many at bats will I get this year?
Justin Mason
12:35
325?

Concerning the question on what you'd pay for Judge, Witt, Yordan. In our 12 team AL only 5x5 keeper league using OPS Judge went for $62, Witt $65 and Yordan $49. Our league typically runs 35% inflation first third of the draft.
Justin Mason
12:36
yeah, inflation definitely changes a lot. That being said, I usually don't like spending that much on individual guys because one injury can ruin your season, but in an AL Only that is often the case anyhow.
Salty
12:36
Ever have a urinal flush near you when no one was standing there?  Happened to me today, and I was wondering if it was a spiritual sign to add Naz Nunez as a backup to my starting MI duo of Swanson and Durbin and drop either Colt Keith or a SP like Bassitt or Patrick in a semi-deep league?

Justin Mason

The spirits are telling you to gra Nunez! Listen to them.

Arozarena getting traded from Seattle to very low
Justin Mason
12:37
Agreed. Seattle would have to completely fall out of it.
Alex B
12:37
How worried should I be about Carlos Estévez?
Justin Mason
12:38
I have been pretty worried about him and haven't drafted him. I have drafted Erceg a few times just in case.
IYKYK
12:38
I know I love my teenage son, who is a newbie to fantasy baseball, because I told him to snipe Andrew Vaughn from me yesterday. Anyways…can’t wait to hear how the draft with you & Paul went this weekend.
Justin Mason
12:39
That is so awesome! I started playing fantasy baseball with my foster father as a way for us to bond. I can't imagine a life without it.
Chrissy
12:39
Will Kikuchi bounce back this year?
Justin Mason
12:39
Probably a little, but not a ton
IL question
12:39
Feel like there are more pitchers starting the season on the IL than ever. My league is pretty heavy on IL spots with 6. How aggressive do you get with IL spots when you've got them?
Justin Mason
12:40
Honestly, it hasnt felt as bad as other years to me. I try my best to not draft guys starting on the IL because I know there will be other injuries and I don't want a roster crunch.
KC Pain
12:40
Is the Dodgers Kim going to just be a bench bat/AAAA type? I thought he would get PT with Edman out but now back to AAA. Have him stashed but not sure what to think on that.
Justin Mason
12:40
feels like he is just going to be a AAAA guy. Im disappointed because this felt like his chance to prove he belongs.
