Feels like there has to be some fantasy value in here somewhere; holds + saves are obvious, but if the Mets are actually primed for a comeback then he could be a sneaky wins provider with maybe ~4 saves and very good ratios (that look even better if you take out the Coors appearance that was a clear outlier); outside of S+H where is the roster spot justified?
Justin Mason
12:34
its got to be a pretty deep or weird league

Dropped Tovar for Semien in 5x5 OBP. Trash for trash or is Tovar bad enough now this is an upgrade? At least Semien walks every now and then.

Esteury Ruiz stole six bases last week. I need a fifth OF and the SB category is wiiiiide open for dominance this season in my NL-only league. Should I add him? I'd have Marlins named Eury and Esteury on my team. D'oh!
Justin Mason
12:34
pick up just for the team name
Jay

what is up with the padres offense? Just seems like they can’t string it together consistently.
Justin Mason
12:35
its kind of a terrible lineup after you get past the top three

I have Bryce Miller and Imai coming back this week. Would you cut any pf these guys to male room? Cantillo, Ryne Nelson, Mackenzie Gore, Noah Schultz, or Dollander?  (Or none of them)?
Justin Mason
12:35
I would not

when do you think i come back to the show?
Justin Mason

its going to be a while I think

I quit Matt Olson because his last couple years were fine but not worth what I was paying... But I still draft Vlad Jr and Trea Turner? SMH.
Justin Mason
12:36
Vladdy will be fine

What is your bar for what counts as "chip-in steals". 5-8? 10+?
Justin Mason
12:36
5-10

It appears the Cubs are stretching out Ben Brown as a starter. Are you buying in after he tossed 4 scoreless in his last outing?
Justin Mason
12:36
ive always been intrigued by the talent, but I do worry he is never going to be the guy the pedigree suggested. Tentativaly buying

Was going to ask this in the Discord but while I’m here…how much weight do you put on potential eligibility changes when evaluating dynasty players? Does the expectation a player is going to lose a position harm their value in acquisitions? Or does it not matter at all and you’ll deal with it next year?
Justin Mason
12:38
It only matters to me if its at a position thats premium like catcher or shallow like 2B. I dont put a ton into worrying about it if I am competing, but I put more into it if I am rebuilding or reloading.
Thanks for being in the discord!

Assuming you are on board with trying to sell Murakami high? if so, what kind of return would you be looking for?
Justin Mason
12:38
I would definitely try and sell high if I could. I want a top 100 player

One of my big advantages in trading is that I really try and make sure I don't put extra value on my guys just because I have them --- the Endowment Effect.  That said, I'm really struggling value to Jordan Walker.  Picked him up early and can't figure out what the sell-high range should be --- because his value keeps going up.  Maybe I just treat him like a dude, enjoy the ride, and see where value stabilizes later?  Because he might just be a dude.
Justin Mason
12:39
I think he is just running insanely hot. The underlying contact skills are still bad and cold streaks are going to happen at some point. If I could sell high right now I would.

Ha-Seong Kim being activated today for ATL. He's only truly viable for speed needy teams right? And even then, ATL is bottom third of the league in SB...
Justin Mason
12:40
hard to know if theyll let him run more than other guys until he's on the field. I have him in Tout so I am definitely watching this. I have always been a fan

Hey Justin, thanks for the chat. Are you about ready to move on from Luis Castillo in 12tm QS? He's just burning a hole in my bench. No real replacement, but would either stream the hot hand off the wire as needed or go grab a stash
Justin Mason
12:40
Im ok moving on
Bryce Miller
12:40
Did I kick your dog or something? Seems like you are not a believer in my return.
Justin Mason
12:42
I like Miller but I also am not dropping someone I also like for a guy that is likely to be the odd man out if there are any struggles. Looking forward to watching his start this week because the velo reports have been good. In deeper formats, I am picking him up. In shallower ones, I am not dropping pitchers that have set roles that I like.

I think we need more offbeat leagues!  My late night idea was that each week you're forced to do a 1 for 1 trade with another owner, and if you can't agree, the league will vote which player gets swapped.
Justin Mason
12:43
There's a group of ladies on tiktok that are doing a catchers only league that looks amazing. I want to do a vampire league next year in the discord. We run a 13-run pool in the discord that is fun. I love weird formats, but I also want them to have a basis that everyone understands and can enjoy.

Appreciate the Gage Workman shout in the Roto Riteup. Took a shot on him in 16T dynasty
Justin Mason
12:43
If the contact is there, he is super interesting
Hazmat

May I suggest that Guest re name his team The E(ste)ury Marlins?
Justin Mason

I invested in Nasim Nunez largely based on your preseason hype. I'm mostly happy with how it's going.  How about you?
Justin Mason
12:44
Would love the hit tool to be better, but got to love the SBs!

Waldschmidt...can he go 15/20 for the rest of the season?
