The Mick Abel Guy
12:01
Who's your preferred streamer this week in a roto league: Mick Abel vs BOS or Rhett Lowder vs SF
Justin Mason
12:02
I would go with Abel. Tougher matchup, but I don't trust Lowder at home yet.
Mom's Arrighetti
12:02
Assuming Spencer Arrighetti gets the call this week for one of Houston's games against the Rockies at home, is he worth the snag in a 12T roto league? Do you like him better ROS than guys like Abel, Nelson and Junk?
Justin Mason
12:03
I think he is definitely worth a snag in a 12-Teamer. I don't know that I like him better than any of those guys long term though. He is just streamer right now.
Don't Have A Cowser
12:03
With Mountcastle and O'Neill both out, which O's OF intrigues you more in roto: Beavers or Cowser?
Justin Mason
12:03
Both are intriguing, but I will go with my guy Cowser.
Oaktown Blues
12:03
Do you think Joel Kuhnel will continue to get save opps for the A's? Or has he just been right place, right time this past week
Justin Mason
12:04
It's something to watch for sure, but I think it's a pretty fluid committee right now.
Sean miller
12:04
in your opinion what’s stopping a team from inevitably giving in and signing Brett lawrie for his veteran leadership and possible 20 20 season if giving the opportunity?
Justin Mason
12:04
Point awarded
bdubs427
12:04
I need a starter for now. SP stats: Wins, ERA, K/9...
Abel,Painter,Nelson,Schultz
Justin Mason
12:04
Give me Nelson.
Let's make some wild extrapolations
12:04
I'm in a 20-team dynasty points league. It seems, uh, doubtful that these guys are going to keep up their present pace, but Dubon and O'Hearn have been nice surprises. Anything under the hood that you've seen that makes you think that they could sustain **something** above past years' performance? Thanks as always...
Justin Mason
12:05
I think they are just running hot right now. The thing that does work in their favor as opposed to past seasons is playing time. In their new locations they both are locked in the starting lineups for right now which is a new opportunity. Regression will come for them, but they will play which helps in deep leagues.

Lauer Outage
12:06
Lauer looked solid in his first outing, was sick his second outing, and bad on Saturday. Holding for @ARI or swap for Kochanowicz, Montero, or Houser?
Justin Mason
12:06
I would swap for Montero
Datt Mamon
12:07
Having big problems at 3B. Thoughts on Brady House? Using him as a stopgap currently (hoping for a Westburg returns) but also just added Noelvi Marte
Justin Mason
12:07
Marte was just sent down this morning. I like House for what he is. A guy with power that will strikeout too much, but his playing time is pretty secure.
Aluminum Doyle
12:08
Brenton Doyle got dropped in my 12T roto lg, worth cutting Carson Benge for him or let him float by?
Justin Mason
12:08
I am ok with cutting Benge for Doyle. I believe Doyle will turn it around
Chip
12:08
Someone in my 12-team league dropped James Wood, and I spent 51% of my FAAB to make sure I got him. What’s the most you would ever spend to get a starting hitter who shouldn’t be on the waiver wire?
Justin Mason
12:09
so it really depends on the format. In a league where I have $0 bids, I would go 50-60% of my faab in a move like this. In a league where I don't have $0 bids, I would never go more than 30-40% and even that would take a massive talent or need.
Southsider
12:09
I need to replace Moreno at catcher in an OBP league. Who would you recommend among these waiver options? Austin Wells, Yainer Diaz, Gary Sanchez, Tyler Stephenson, Fortes
Justin Mason
12:09
Give me Diaz
Rob
12:10
I know it's early, but Baty looks pretty lost at the plate to me. I Long-term do you think he's an above average hitter?
Justin Mason
12:11
I do think he is. In zone contact looks fine. Swinging a bit too much out of the zone. I would bank on him bouncing back, but I understand cutting in a shallow league.
Steve
12:11
Rank the following SPs ROS in a roto league w/ QS--
Sheehan, Messick, Schultz, Weathers, Cantillo, Roupp, Burke.
Justin Mason
12:12
Messick, Weathers, Canitillo, Schultz, Sheehan, Roupp, Burke
Jeremy
12:12
In a saves-only roto league, are there any non-closers who you feel are worth rostering right now as prospective closers/handcuffs? I know depends on league depth, but who are the guys you feel have the best shot at becoming closers in the next month or two who aren't currently in the role? (i.e. Winn, Uribe)
Justin Mason
12:13
Bryan King, Caleb Killian, Abner Uribe, Cole Winn.
Chip
12:13
Are you a happy passenger on Jeff Zimmerman‘s Landen Roupp hype train? Approximately where would you rank him?
Justin Mason
12:13
I'm not quite there yet. Too inconsistent with the command and control. I think there is a next level, but I don't think he's there yet.
Ted
12:14
Will Arreghetti stay in HOU rotation barring injury?
Justin Mason
12:14
Considering they are decimated right now, I think he will. If they get healthy and he struggles, he could be back in the minors. He needs to find his control. If he walks too many guys, that will be an issue for him
Vinny
12:14
What kind of MLB numbers do you foresee for Schultz in 2026?  3.50/1.15?  Over 10.0 in K/9?  Thanks
Justin Mason
12:16
I'll take the over on the over on all of those. The strikeout numbers should be fantastic, but we need to see if the control gains in AAA this season are real and the Majors will test him. If he can keep the walk rate to a reasonable level, the sky is the limit.
Jimmy
12:16
In 12tm SV/HLD league, which two of these three would you pick up for Grant Wolfram, Anthony Nunez or Brayden Fisher.   I'm trying to find the next group of guys who breakout after not investing in the draft. Thanks Justin.
Justin Mason
12:17
Give me Nunez and Fisher.
