Matt McClain - It has been very rough. Could you see them sending him down for a spell (I think that he still has 3 options)?  Bench for someone like N. Nunez? McClain hit 9th yesterday.
Justin Mason
12:15
Im ok benching for Nunez. I think McLain will be better, but at some point we may need to just admit that 2023 was the outlier

Hello Mr. Mason! Should I pick up Bazzana to replace McLain in my 6x6 OBP + SLG league? Seems like McLain's upside just isn't there like we thought it was
Justin Mason
12:16
Feels lateral, but if it's free, I dont have an issue with it
Pete

Rank these closers available on the wire – Jacob Latz, Tyler Phillips, Gus Varland, Ben Joyce, and Jack Perkins.
Thank you kind sir.

Any idea where Bryce Miller ranks once healthy?
Justin Mason
12:16
Top 60 SP with upside if he looks like he's back to his 2024 form
Oddball Herrera

Acuna and Tatis - buy low opportunities or "I just paid for past performance + a name" opportunities?
Justin Mason
12:16
Absolutely

Hi! I fell victim to "Matt McLain is posting amazing bat speed readings in Spring Training!" and have been piecing things together (with success!) with Caballero so far.  With Volpe getting sent down, it seems like Caballero may have some runway... are there reasons to think what he's been doing this year is "real"?  Or do I need to make a backup plan ASAP?
Justin Mason
12:18
Clearly the Yankees like Caballero and even if Volpe returns to the Majors or Lombard is brought up, I think Caballero will still have a healthy role.

A lot of walks and velocity was down from "peak" Strider. Is there any hope he gets back there or is this just what he is now?
Justin Mason
12:19
I dont care about the walks since it was in Colorado, but the velocity is what I am watching. He was 95-96 early in the outing and then it faded by the third inning. If the velo doesnt improve, he is a shell of his former self.

Better option at SS in an OBP league this week? Willy Adames or just take the zero

Hi, Justin. 12T H2H: Cam Smith, Spencer Steer, or Luis Robert Jr. if healthy?
Justin Mason
12:19
Smith
Owen

12 tm roto, should I bench Bryan Woo vs ATL for Bryan Baker? I'm 9th in ERA and trying to protect ratios a bit. Woo has been getting hit hard and his K% is awful despite stable velo and Stuff+
Justin Mason
12:19
yes
I worry something is wrong with Woo

Hi Justin! 10-team AL only 2 catcher league. Currently am getting NOTHING from Bo Naylor and Quero... worth dropping Quero for David Fry with Teel looming and Quero already losing time?
Justin Mason
12:20
yeah, I think that works
Jim
12:20
AL-only league with SVs and Holds.  Don't care about ratios or Ks, just saves and holds.  Which two of these do you want?  F Cruz, Doval, Leiter, A Nunez, G Taylor, Zeferjahn
Justin Mason
12:20
Taylor, and Cruz

Much appreciate these chats Justin! I'm in a 10 team H2H points league, and have some positional logjams. Should I try to sell on Dingler (I have Cal but like the insurance policy), or try to deal one of my three SS (Perdomo, McGonigle, Griffin)? I need pitching but none of these players are droppable except perhaps Griffin, but that's scary.
Justin Mason
12:21
Sell Dingler

Is Joey Cantillo still a "hold" in a deep 12T mixed roto ?  Logan Henderson is available, as well as Robby Snelling , Braxton Garrett , J.Junk. A.Abbott, C.Scott.
Justin Mason
12:21
Id drop for Henderson
cool 1

Last week I asked about trading Eldridge for SP in dynasty and I think you talked me out of it. Now that he got the call but not necessarily the Ks under control, I have the feeling that in a year we’re going to be about where we are with Cags right now. Any reason to expect a smoother adjustment?
Justin Mason
12:22
I think the Giants are going to give him run, but I think there will be some growing pains. I am not sold the hit tool is ready
Cags has a way better hit tool than Eldridge

Would you rather have Carlos Cortes or Jung Hoo Lee? In a 12-team league (8x8) where the offensive categories are H/AB, R, HR, RBI, BB, K, SB, AVG, OBP, SLG.
Justin Mason
12:23
Lee

Looking to sell high on SP.  What kind of hitter could I expect back for Harrison or Messick?  and which would you prefer to deal away?
Justin Mason
12:23
I think id prefer to trade Harrison, but honestly, I would have a hard time doing either without get a top 75 player.
