16team h2h obp dynasty league and I'm destitute at 3B. Who would you hold your nose and roll with : Josh Jung, Miguel Vargas, Ryan McMahon or Sung Mun Song?
Justin Mason
12:40
McMahon
KC Pain

20 team 6x6 dynasty keep forever - Would you trade Ragans, Corbin Burnes, and Early for Crochet? I have the Ragans side.
Justin Mason
12:41
I wouldn't. I really like Early.
I neglected OF
12:41
In a 5 OF 5x5 head to head, can Friedl and Collins be a serviceable 4/5?
Justin Mason
12:41
I think so. They were actually my OF 3 and 4 last night in a 12 because I went cheap at OF.
Jack off all trades
12:41
Rank in terms of highest IP to lowest in 2026......Chad Patrick, Ian Seymour, Hunter Barco, Troy Melton, Grant Taylor.  Which two would you try and hold the longest in dynasty?  Thanks!
Justin Mason
12:42
Patrick, Seymour, Barco, Melton, Taylor

Thoughts on Perdomo in the OBP league? Felt like I reached but I think I remember some down ballot MVP chatter last year.
Justin Mason
12:43
I think he probably takes a step back in the power department but the rest of what we saw feels legit.

10tm OBP 5x5 roto, with no bench -- first post-auction FAAB run coming.  Would you want Mayo (drop) or Andrew Vaughn (add) at CI?
Justin Mason
12:43
Mayo has the higher ceiling and Vaughn a safer floor. I like both. Probably shoot for upside in a 10.

NA question
12:44
My league actually has 2 NA slots where you can stash guys in the minors (or on leave, like paternity leave). Griffin is an obvious target but who are some your other favorite minor-league stashes?
Justin Mason
12:44
Joshua Baez, Emerson, Bryce Eldridge, Bazzana
AL Central Casting
12:44
I've never been a big Matt McLain fan. Convince me I should buy the bounce back - is there any signal in his ST performance?
Justin Mason
12:45
He has his highest ever exit velocity, barrel rate, and hard hit rate ever in spring. Could that be a mirage? Sure, but there are reasons to wishcast this.
Nuggets
12:46
Who is one reliever that for the most part isn't being drafted, that you could see being in the mix for saves?
Justin Mason
12:46
Hogan Harris
Pitching Weirdness
12:46
Schlittler goes in my league for $21.  Sheehan for $14.  I somehow end up with Trevor Rogers for $15.  Funny how recent prospect status inflates prices.......
Justin Mason
12:46
It's pretty crazy every year. I am in on Schlitter, but six dollars more than Rogers seems wrong
Junior Caminero is kinda good
12:47
No question, just an observation: since WWII, there have been 8 guys who hit 40+ HR at age 22 or younger - Vlad Jr, Eddie Mathews back in the day (x2), Johnny Bench (look him up kids, he was kinda good), Juan Gone in the 90's (fantasy god for about a decade even if his WAR totals were mediocre), A-Rod, Harper, Tatis Jr, Acuna and Caminero last year. Drop it to age 21 and it's just Mathews, Acuna and Caminero
Justin Mason
12:47
Took Caminero in my draft last night and was stoked to get him in the second
KCBBq
12:47
With Estevez running a substantial loss of velo (5-7 mph) in ST is Erceg the better bet for saves in KC?
Justin Mason
12:48
It could be strahm as well, but I definitely am grabbing Erceg and Strahm in leagues right now because I do not trust Estevez right now.
POD
12:48
Hi Justin, two quick things: 1) what are some fantasy baseball podcasts you listen to/suggest others listen to in addition to Sleeper and the Bust 2) once the regular season starts what days can we expect the pods to drop? signed a fantasy baseball nerd
Justin Mason
12:50
Ok, Rates and Barrels, Rotowire, Bubba and the Bloom, High Stakes Heat, and On the Corner are the ones I would often listen to. Obviously, I want you to go listen to FWFB as well. We should be recording Sundays (with Jason), Mondays and Thursday (with Joe), and Fridays.
12:51
ok, ton of questions left so lets speed round things a bit.
Grant Taylor
12:51
What am I?  What will I be?  Am I any good?
Justin Mason
12:51
I think he is but he is going to be stretched out to be a starter so this may be a transition year.
JT
12:51
14 tm h2h where pitching categories are WHIP, ERA, W, K, QS & SV/HOLD, I tend to not value RP as high as SP, what is someone like M. Miller worth, is a SP like Lodolo, M. King or M. Gore too light in a swap? is a RP worth more than that, even being the best RP ? E. Perez has to be too much?
Justin Mason
12:52
Miller is worth more than most relievers in this format because of the K's. I think those pitchers are too light for me. Perez is probably too much.
Wood
12:52
Do you prefer Kyle Harrison or Brandon Sproat in a 12T? Any interest in Jared Jones as an IR stash?
Justin Mason
12:52
Harrison
Correct me if I'm wrong, but ....
12:52
I'm pretty sure Mike Tauchman tearing his meniscus just saved Carson Benge from having his service time manipulated .......Just sayin'.
Justin Mason
12:52
nah
Look At This Sotograph
12:52
My league has K/BB and QS instead of Ws. What order should I prioritize these starters: Will Warren, Taj Bradley, Abel, Ponce?
Justin Mason
12:52
Abel, Ponce, Warren, Bradley
Pepiot in My Stepiot
12:53
Hi Justin, thanks as always for doing these chats. Was in a 12 team standard 5x5 auction last night. My hitting is pretty good, but how screwed am I with my pitching: Pepiot, King, Robbie Ray, Bubic, Cade Horton, Nolan McLean, Munoz, Devin Williams, and Seranthony
Justin Mason
12:53
You just need some health. It's a little light, but you can always trade a hitter for a pitcher if you need it. If Bubic stays healthy, you might have a pretty nice rotation there.
Jack Mehoff
12:54
My bro got so high that he drafted Carlos Cortes OF Ath based off of player news from September, thinking Soderstrom was out for the year...😆
