Do you think Adames is done-done? This has been absolutely brutal.
Justin Mason
12:32
He will be better than this
Sean miller

Was thinking about who Luke keachall reminds me of and maybe a little bit of Brett lawrie? Not as good but decent player
Justin Mason
12:33
I wouldnt comp lawrie, but people were way too high on Keaschall

How likely are both Jung and Vargas to be ROS starters in a 12-team H2H?  Statcast looks good.
Justin Mason
12:33
I think they are. Only fear is Jung staying healthy

Assuming he comes soon back as expected, approximately where would you rank Snell among SPs for rest of this year?
Justin Mason
12:33
Top 25-30
Danny Dimes

Hey Justin, who is the next impact bat called up not named Emerson or Clark?

Clark

Bleday any better than a fourth OF? Better than Melendez n NY or Benson?
Justin Mason
12:34
Probably not, but he's running well right now.

Ballesteros

Start Cam Smith or the Martian this week?  The Yankees face two lefties and a couple of tough righties, but have seven games.  Cam goes to Cincy at the end of the week:

Depressed Giants Fan
12:36
Justin, thanks for your time. Wondering if you can impart some advice on a lost and sad giants fan. I am in a 14 team mixed points league (redraft, not keeper). Pitching is king in this league, quality starts are more valuable than wins. I have a solid top of the rotation (albeit volatile) with Chris Sanchez, Luzardo and Cease. After that, it's more replacement level or streamers. Can you help me stack rank these guys rest of season as a prioritize filling out the bottom of my staff with the waiver wire:  Reid Detmers, Joey Cantillo, Connor Preilipp (Nick P's boy), Ryne Nelson, Mike Soroka, Junk, Shane Baz. And where would prospect like Robby Snelling fit if called up. THanks so much!

Sean Burke has had great results, but doesn’t seem like any major changes other than adding a sinker. Underlying metrics are solid though, aside from a dip in Ks. Are you buying, and if so, what league size is he worth a pickup in?
Justin Mason
12:37
I am not really a buyer. He is locating better, but he is allowing a lot of contact and getting lucky in the BABIP. Things will regress. Maybe a better version of last year, but not this good

Is there a big gap at catcher between Langeliers, Herrera, Rushing and Basallo? And do you think Ballesteros is going to get C eligibility, if so, where would he be?
Justin Mason
12:39
Langeliers is way above this group the rest are close together with Herrera, Basallo, Ballesteros being a bit above Rushing due to playing time concerns
Mike
12:39
Is Steer a worthwhile add in a 12-team H2H, 5 OF league.  It seems like settling for a good not great player, rather than going for a higher-upside option this early.  Also, if both Friedl and Steer are on the wire, which do you prefer)
Justin Mason
12:39
I prefer Friedl but both feel like about replacement level
Tim

Is there anything you’re seeing in Jose Fernandez that makes you think there’s anything more going on than an empty AVG? Only 1 HR and 1 SB since the debut. xAVG is at .260 and RR has him on the short side of a platoon. I’m thinking he’s the drop when Mookie returns.
Justin Mason
12:39
I am not a believer
Nate
12:39
In my 12-tm H2H (6x6 OBP vs. AVG, XBH is 6th cat) wondering if any of these guys are upgrades over Colt Keith at 2B: Gleyber, Stott, McNeil, Brooks Lee, Rafaela or do I just stick with Keith Colt? It's rough out there at 2B!
Justin Mason
12:40
Im sticking with Colt
Mike

What to make of Bazzana so far?  Seems to hit the ball hard, walk a lot, and steal bases?
Justin Mason
12:41
Profiles as an accumulator with decent speed and a great approach. Maybe like 10/20 rest of the way with a mediocre average but a plus OBP
Mike
12:41
Between Painter, Leiter, Tolle, Schultz, Henderson, and Meyer, what is the correct order of preferences?
Justin Mason
12:41
Painter, Tolle, Meyer, Leiter, Henderson, Schultz.
like all of them though

12 tm redraft      Do u think that Vaugn Grissom can have a breakout season for himslef
Justin Mason
12:42
Loving the contact skills but getting lucky and there isn't a ton of power or speed.

why the heck am I even remotely considering dropping Teoscar to make room when Barger's back
Justin Mason
12:43
I wouldn't do that.
