catching strays
12:52
Hi Justin. Can you help me out with my catcher situation? I'm in a 14 team league and many of these psychos like to carry two catchers even though it's a one catcher league. I added Jeffers right before he got hot, which has been great. But now I'm wondering if I should add Kyle Teel? Who would you be more comfortable rolling with ROS? Thanks!
Justin Mason
12:52
I prefer Jeffers but it's close

Is Dillon Dingler a top 10 catcher?
Justin Mason
12:52
I dont think so yet but it's close

Erceg's underlying stats have me thinking I ought to cut him and jump on one of these new closer-ish guys. What do you think? I could get a Dodger, a Varland, a Cub, or a Phillie?
Justin Mason
12:53
I am probably not doing that yet, but I could understand going for Scott and the upside of the Dodgers in case Diaz is actually hurt.

I was all set to roll out Abel for the first time tomorrow and now this…who’s your pick for replacement?: Dollander, Buehler, Fedde are best options
Justin Mason
12:54
Dollander, but man thats rough

You were high on Andrew Vaughn in draft season. Are you still holding onto him in leagues with a shallow bench and limited IL spots?
Justin Mason
12:54
I have been, but if you need to spot its ok to drop

Drop Paredes for Jung?
Justin Mason
12:54
sure
MiLB stash
12:55
Our league has 2 NA slots where you can stash prospects. I already have Emerson but honestly, I'm not that excited about him. He doesn't steal bases and the power is more Ok than good and is likely to get swallowed up by that park. That leaves him as a hopefully high-average accumulator and I can't see him breaking into the M's top 5 barring some catastrophic slump so how much accumulating is he going to do? That said, I'll keep him. Had Bazzana in the other spot but he has the same problem and a 25+% K-rate at AAA that doesn't bode well for his MLB prospects. I'm thinking Condon is the guy to stash and hope he becomes what it seemed like Toglia might be - a 40 HR, middle of the lineup bat.
Justin Mason
12:56
I still prefer Bazzana and Emerson over Condon because his contact skills are not great and his production is inflated by where he plays some.
Closer Conundrum
12:56
I hate betting on who Dave Roberts will pick as closer, but if you had to choose one of Scott or Vesia to spec-add, who would it be?
Justin Mason
12:56
Scott
AW

14 team, H2H points with QS. Which side of this trade do you prefer? Ozzie Albies and Ranger Suarez for Michael King and Lucas Erceg
Justin Mason
12:57
Albies side
Matthew

Any chance Everson Pereira can be useful?  Deep league, all I need is a CF that I can get a .750 OPS from in favorable situations, but Cowser/Grisham/Loperfido haven't met that bar
Justin Mason
12:57
He will have moments of usefulness, but the underlying contact skills will always make him streaky at best.
Did you know???
12:57
Do you think all MLB announcers are contractually obligated to tell us about Flaherty, Fried and Giolito being on the same HS team during every single one of their starts?
Justin Mason
12:57
They must be
point awarded
Kyle
12:57
I know it's early, but any optimism for Chisholm? Pretty much every part of the approach looks rough
Justin Mason
12:57
He will be fine. Don't panic

Howdy howdy, in a 12 team h2h matchup? I believe its called league, should I be concerned about Crochet's string of pitching performances at all or keep rolling the dice with him. I can bench him and run with no starter in his slot but I dont like to do that feels unbaseball of me
Justin Mason
12:58
I think you have to roll with him
Look At This Sotograph
12:58
Should I hang onto Senga in 12T redraft? He had 2 good starts before his 2 terrible starts!
Justin Mason
12:58
No, I dont think you need to

Looking to trade for Luzardo, owner’s pitching staff is ravaged by injuries so maybe a 2 for 1 could work. What’s a fair combo to offer out of this group : Bubic/Sandy/Taj/Bubba/Ashcraft? Sandy + Ash? Bubic + Bubba?
Justin Mason
12:58
I would do Bubic and Ashcraft for him
or Bubba

Do you have a guess (or inside knowledge) as to which day Juan Soto will return? Thanks!
Justin Mason
12:59
I dont unfortunately
Chip

So you're not buying Jeremiah? Even as a bench option in a 12-team league? He's on my WW.
Justin Mason
12:59
you can ride with him while he is hot, but chances are you missed most of the goodness

Flaherty 6 walks today in 3 innings. Fixable or just drop?
Justin Mason
12:59
drop

Baty getting playing time, but not hitting at all. Do you still like him long-term?
