Justin Mason

12:15

I think he is a good spec.

Save me!

12:15

Is Uceta worth a stash if you have IL slots? Jax looking bad.

Justin Mason

12:15

Nah, I think that is a committee I am staying away from

Guest

12:15

I have Chad Durbin in an AL only Roto League. Time to surrender and go visit the free agent pool?

Justin Mason

12:16

Not yet. It's too early. He is still playing every day

Ryan Weiss

12:16

Am I going to take a spot in the rotation?

Justin Mason

12:16

Yes you are and you are a sneaky good pickup right now

Kate

12:16

What do you make of the changes Janson Junk has made to his arsenal? Our friend Nick Pollack seemed pretty excited after his first start.

Justin Mason

12:17

I am intrigued for sure. The stuff has been better and I live the sequencing. This is a tough two-start even if the teams he is facing have started slow. I will be watching these starts closely for sure.

Kate

12:17

Does Povich take over Eflin's spot in the rotation next weekend? Or was his long appearance out of the pen and indication that that's how they're going to use him for now?

Justin Mason

12:18

I think he does

Catching Help

12:18

Is Liam Hicks worth it for 10-team head to head points? Some skill changes (faster bat, squaring up better, better EVs) and has stayed in vs lefties (though a horrid woba).

Justin Mason

12:18

If you need catching help, I think Hicks is the top add.

Seiya Genesis

12:19

OBP roto league, who's the cut when Seiya Suzuki comes off the IL this week? Miguel Vargas, Justin Crawford, Cam Smith, Trent Grisham

Justin Mason

12:19

Grisham

hot corner question

12:19

In a 14-team weekly moves league, I'm trying to decide between Royce Lewis, who has seven games this week, and Mark Vientos, who has six games and a less certain role. Who would you roll with for this week only?

Justin Mason

12:20

Vientos for me. I like the matchups better than Lewis having Mize, Skubal, Framber to start the week.

Hank Scorpio

12:20

Do you think the Yankees limit Ben Rice’s ABs versus LHP with three leftys on the schedule this week? Goldy has been fine, but you gotta let the hot hand swing the bat against everyone right?

Justin Mason

12:22

With back-to-back lefties on Thursday/Friday, I would expect he sits one of those and then maybe plays one.

BTinVT

12:22

Winn/Cards all star ceiling?

Justin Mason

12:22

I dont see it. Too many good SS in the NL.

12:22

Harrison home to Wash or Ashcraft away at Cubs this week? Ashcraft has pitched slightly better; Washington has the 5th highest wRC+ currently; Cubs not hitting much; Harrison at home, Ashcraft away. Which one?

Justin Mason

12:22

Harrison

Steven

12:22

Garrett Mitchell anything? Good speed, hitting the ball hard (in the rare instance he makes contact)

Justin Mason

12:23

He's the type that you run with when he is hot and drop him when he cools down. He's hot right now

12:23

Is Wrobleski sticking around to be interesting, or would Mlod on the pirates be a better pick?

Justin Mason

12:23

Prefer Mlod

12:23

Is Jose Fernandez showing enough to worth a spec add in deeper leagues? Thanks!

Justin Mason

12:24

He's 1-for-12 since his massive debut. I think he probably isn't worth much

RAGBRAI

12:24

Need to cut one when Strider returns, K Harrison or Singer?

Justin Mason

12:24

Singer

Walker, St. Lois Cardinal

12:24

You buying into me? Where would you rank me among OFs if it’s real? You have me over Wilyer and Cags?

Justin Mason

12:25

I am cautiously optimistic. Making league average Z-Contact with elite bat speed. Still not completely bought it, but I would pick him up anywhere he is available.

SP conundrum

12:25

Please rank these four starts this week: Cavalli @stl, roupp @bal, messick @atl, or boyle home against the cubs?

Justin Mason

12:25

Messick, Boyle, Cavalli, Roupp

12:26

Is foster griffin getting lucky babip or is he legit. Has great stuff+ numbers

Justin Mason

12:27

I lean towards he's just been getting lucky, but I think that guys like him who have decent control and command with a lot of pitches can outrun the underlying metrics better than most so I think he can be usable

Silverback

12:27

How do you feel about Justin Steele ROS?

Justin Mason

12:27

Never trust guys coming off of TJ

Closer Chaos

12:28

Struggling to justify rostering both Robert Garcia and Griffin Jax with how bad they've been ... if one has to go, who's the odd man out?
