Jasson Dominguez
12:01
Worth the add in 12 team roto?
Shake That Jasson
12:01
How much run do you think Jasson Dominguez will get this time around with the Yankees? Is he worth rostering in 10-12T leagues?
Justin Mason
12:03
I think he could get a fair amount of run here against right handed pitching. Its still a crowded team so he won't likely play full time, but I think he is worth speculating on in 12s for sure.
Bob
12:03
Luzardo was dropped in my points league, think he can get back on track?
Justin Mason
12:04
He is a must add IMO. Michael Baumann had a great piece on him which confirmed a lot of what I thought which is he has just been extremely unlucky. The skills are intact and actually better in many ways this season. He has a fantastic two-step this week. Grab him now
This Land is Nolan
12:04
Keep Arenado while he's on his hot streak or drop for any of Durbin, Baty, Brooks Lee or Luis Garcia?
Justin Mason
12:04
I would drop for Baty or Durbin personally
Mamma Mia
12:04
Jac Caglianone dropped in my 12T 5OF roto lg ... would you cut Paredes, LuBob or Stott for him?
Justin Mason
12:04
I could cut Paredes for him
Bob
12:04
Eury Perez has been up and down so far, in a 12 man points league would you keeo him based on the upside?
Justin Mason
12:05
I think you need to keep Eury. There may continue to be some growing pains, but he lost a year of development. The upside is SP1 so I want that on my teams
Not my real name
12:05
10 team QS league, I have Yesavage coming back (not starting him in his first start though), my current staff is Cris Sanchez, Mclean, Hancock, Schultz, Luzardo and Eury.  Also have Snell on the IL as well.  Where do I even start on juggling this staff?
Justin Mason
12:06
personally if I have to make a cut with that rotation, it's Yesavage. His control will likely be an issue and I wouldnt expect him to be going deep enough to get QS most of the season. I think he will be pretty limited out of the gate as well.
OF Shuffle
12:07
Looking for a fifth OF in an OBP roto league while Cam Smith struggles (gonna bench and hold): grab Adolis, Jesus Sanchez, Brandon Marsh or Troy Johnston?
Justin Mason
12:07
I picked up Johnston in a few leagues last night. Love the dual eligibility and he's running hot right now.
Adenolith
12:07
Shallow cats league. I just traded Vlad Jr and Erceg for Sal Stewart and Mason Miller. Fair deal? I'm not going to regret this, right?
Justin Mason
12:08
Considering the horror show at closer right now, I actually am totally fine with this deal. Love Stewart and what he has done so far this season. I like the move.
Why Not Zoidberg?
12:08
Are we seeing a mini breakout from CJ Abrams? KS are down, walks and air pull are up. Can I expect more than his usual .250/19/30?
Justin Mason
12:10
The walks feel more a productive of a smaller zone that pitchers are struggling with rather than anything Abrams is doing. He is swining outside the zone more, pitchers are just struggling to find the zone consistently. He is elevating more and the barrel and hard hit rates are up. I think he could hit a few more home runs like that, but the OBP will come back down as the league adjusts to the new zone.
Tim
12:10
How concerns are you with the uneven performance by Yesavage in rehab, and now word that Priester is even further off-track (velo down two ticks, poor command in both starts)
Justin Mason
12:11
I think that is who he is going to be to be honest. Until he learns to attack the zone more and stop being so wild, he is going to have struggle starts. The upside is immense and we saw it in the playoffs, but with the smaller zone this season, we need guys to be willing to attack the zone more consistently.
Guest
12:12
Last SP spot this week. 12 team 5x5 roto IP instead of wins. Burrows @ Boston or Cantillo @ Athletics?
Justin Mason
12:12
Cantillo, but both are scary
RAGBRAI
12:12
Who would you want short term and ROS between J Ortiz and Mauricio in NL 5x5?
Justin Mason
12:12
Mauricio
Rob A
12:12
Want to improve SP in 15 team mixed pts dynasty. Looking to dangle Bryce Eldridge - who would you target in return?
Justin Mason
12:13
Eldridge is still a top 10 prospect imo, so I would want a pretty well established player like at least a top 50 MLB. Considering how close Eldridge is to the Majors, trading him now should net you a good return.
Megilla Gorilla
12:14
Very saves needy in my 12T roto league; all I've got is Jacob Latz. Should I grab Trevor Megill and/or Jeff Hoffman in the hopes they can win their jobs back?
Justin Mason
12:14
I think if I did this, it would be for hoffman. I don't see Megill getting it back any time soon. Hoffman at least has Varland in front of him who has shown he can struggle with homers and I think the skills are a bit better there too.
Bill
12:15
Drop Burger?  Pick up Cortes Marsh or Canzone?  Redraft
Justin Mason
12:15
Canzone for me long term. Marsh short term
IF help needed
12:16
12 team roto, trying to decide between backup IF: Stott, Meidroth, Baty, Mauricio or Antonacci?
Justin Mason
12:16
Baty
Cruz Missile
12:16
What's a reasonable return if I'm trying to sell Oneil Cruz in an OBP league? Not specifically looking for any position or stat, just curious what a good ask looks like
Justin Mason
12:16
I think you ask for a top 25 asset and hope to land a top 50 one.
EG
12:17
Will smith sat the last 2 with a sore back. Starting him or Rushing this week (all 6 games vs RHP)
Justin Mason
12:17
Rushing
Congressional Closer Committee
12:17
Is Varland the guy now in DC with Beeter hurt or do you think the Nats go with a committee? Is Varland worth rostering even if they do spread the save opps around?
Justin Mason
12:17
I think Varland leads the committee I grabbed him in a couple of spots last night.
