Now that Waldschmidt is up, do do I drop one of Bryan Reynolds, Chandler Simpson, Moniak to activate him (he's in Minors spot currently)?
Justin Mason
12:00
I would drop Reynolds for him.

Does Miguel Vargas have a realistic chance of finishing this season as a top 6 3B per FG player rater? Thanks Justin!
Justin Mason
12:00
I dont think he will, but 3B isnt super deep so he could come close.
Good morning Walltimore
12:00
Which recent Sacramento River Cat emerges as the primary catcher in San Francisco? Jesus or Susac?
Justin Mason
12:01
I think Susac will but Rodriguez should play a lot and can play other positions.
Save Me Justin
12:01
RPs have been burtal. Lost Diaz and now have a lot of question marks. How do you feel about Perkins and Killian ROS? I have Joyce on the IL, is he a better bet for saves than either of those guys?
Justin Mason
12:01
I feel like Killian is the logical choice in SF with Walker back down.

Hope all is well, Still holding onto M. Gore as my 5th SP because of his K%-BB%, so frustrating thought this week I won't need 5 SP's because of 2 start weeks, K. Bradish is on waivers, should I switch out just because, or does it not matter with either of these 2
Justin Mason
12:01
Id rather have Bradish
Guest

Drop Matt Chapman, who has just started to stir, for a Waldschmidt? Have Bregman for 3B, Kurtz and Devers for 1B/CI. 12tm H2H OBP redraft league
Justin Mason
12:02
Im ok doing that
Eldridge
12:02
Concerned I'm a Manzardo - stick with him in a league where I'm allowed to be kept for cheap for a couple of years or move on?
Justin Mason
12:02
depends on your other options, but I dont mind moving on
Insert Witty Name Here
12:02
Asked about a logjam of SP's a few weeks ago, in a QS league, who gets the drop between Yesavage, Snell, Hancock, Luzardo and Eury?
Justin Mason
12:02
Yesavage as long as its not keep/dynasty

Hi Justin! Thoughts on the Bailey trade for the giants?
Justin Mason
12:04
Pretty bummed because I love Bailey, but I understand it given their depth and the fact he just cant hit. He's a young Austin Hedges which has a lot of value, but the Giants just cant sacrifice the offense while the whole team struggles at the dish
12-team 20-keeper OPS roto
12:04
Thanks for chat, Justin! What's your go-to source for dynasty rankings?
Justin Mason
12:04
I would say FanGraphs and Prospects Live
Schilling & Pence
12:04
Gurriel has 3 games at Coors this week.  Start him, or Grisham?
Justin Mason
12:04
Gurriel in Coors
Parker
12:05
Thoughts on Robby Snelling's debut and how he should fare in the near term?
Justin Mason
12:06
It is going come down to control for Snelling. If he has more walk issues, he won't be up long
Boot and Raleigh
12:06
As someone struggling through Cal Raleigh's brutal slump, is it worth grabbing a C off waivers and benching him until he shows signs of life? Best options in my league are Carson Kelly, Austin Wells and Francisco Alvarez or taking a chance on Joe Mack or Jesus Rodriguez (10T OBP roto fyi)
Justin Mason
12:06
I wouldnt mind grabbing one of the rookies for a bit and seeing what happens. Prefer Rodriguez over Mack if you do
Matt mclain
12:06
What do I need to do to get better at hitting the baseball hard and far?
Justin Mason
12:06
Turn back the clock to 2024
Hazmat
12:06
Am I the only one noticing how much Bohm, Stott, and Marsh appear to be enjoying the manager change in Philly? Bohm in particular looks rejuvenated.
Justin Mason
12:07
Feels like the whole team does. Im glad my World Series pick is starting to pick it up
Hazmat
12:07
Is this how it ends for Altuve? Further decline in AVG, 2 of 3 homers came in one game a month ago, steals are gone, his only way of helping at this point seems to be other people driving him in.
Justin Mason
12:08
I was worried on him coming into drafts. We have just seen a small degradation of skills over the last couple of years, but it hasnt hurt production. It's starting to now.
TG
12:08
have G. Cole on IL with a full staff with M. Meyer as my # 5 SP, if I wanted to put Cole on trade block (should I?) what kind of hitter  could I expect back at this point, top 60, 70, 80 or should I expect more because of the name value.
Justin Mason
12:09
I would definitely put him on the block in a redraft. TJ returnees notoriously struggle with command and control and are inconsistent in their first year back. I think he wont be easy to rely upon
Hank
12:09
What is the standard when you have a player like Cal who is struggling-no positive signs anywhere except historics? Do you just bench him til he figures it out? Whats your EOY projection for him? ~.220 35 85 85ish
Justin Mason
12:10
I tend to just let it ride, but if you have a backup to roll with, might as well bench him. I think that line feels right. We know there is massive upside, but the swing and miss is usually an issue and it never caught up to him in a dream seaosn last year.
Belle of the Ball
12:10
Points league with an emphasis on wins, trading from a closer surplus for ranger suarez or Max Meyer. Which do you prefer?
Justin Mason
12:10
Meyer
Catcher in the Rye
12:10
Rank these catchers in a 12 team roto please? Alvarez, Basallo, Wells, Jensen, Kelly, Rodriguez, Mack
