I think he can. Maybe even 20/20. The power is legit

last man on bench, OBP, TB, HR, RBI, R, & SB: Gelof or E. Duran ?
Justin Mason
12:44
Gelof while he is hot
12-team 20-keeper OPS roto
12:45
Ildemaro, Rocchio, or Bohm?
Justin Mason
12:45
Bohm
Gates Brown
12:45
Are Seager and Story must keeps over Bogaerts ROS?  Keep thinking the former two will warm up but it's been grim waiting.
Justin Mason
12:45
I would keep seager even though I am worried. Probably Story too
Kurtz
12:45
Squared-Up% is low but everything else looks great. We just waiting on warmer weather for more homers?

Also, I changed my fantasy team name to "Nick Kurtz Regression Tour" and he's been much better since then. So, you're welcome everyone!
Justin Mason
12:46
I think he will be fine. Things begin to heat up here this week in NorCal.

How good is that scene in 30 rock when Jack joins the government and I am telling him about the roof not leaking while picking up the ringing phone and just putting it back down without saying anything
Justin Mason
12:46
Ive never seen 30 Rock. Need to add it to the list
Tony Vitello
12:46
Did everyone enjoy free choice day in the bullpen?
Justin Mason
12:47
Ive been a defender of him because I feel like he needs time to acclimate, but I am over it now. This was a mistake and he needs to go
Kyle
12:47
What's up with Taylor Ward's power? His bat speed is down 2 mph from 2025 and is in bottom 5%. Brl% is down from 14% to 6%. EV down 2 mph. Droppable in 12 mix?
Justin Mason
12:48
I think he is being too patient and needs to amp the aggressiveness. I dont know if the Orioles are telling him to swing less, but its not working. I think he will be fine, but its a weird approach change.

10tm 7x7 (5x5 + OBP+SLG and K/BB+QS) H2H dynasty league. Grade the trade: Fried + Caglianone for Tatis (2B eligible)
Justin Mason
12:49
Give me the pair
12T H2H OBP
12:49
Does Bazzana's 6 steal week move your opinion of him? Seems to be outperforming his projections in that dept. and the xStats are promising
Justin Mason
12:50
hasnt really changed for me. Decent accumulator with speed
Cryin' over Bryan
12:50
12-team H2H cats: Bryan Reynolds is fringe start in 3OF league. Drop BR for JJ Bleday and weekly platoon matchup with Moniak? Need a spark to catch up.
Justin Mason
12:50
im ok with that in a league that shallow
Eric
12:50
I'm in an AL-only (5x5) keeper league, and half of our keepers have returned a negative value so far.  Which, if any of these players are going to turn things around and provide me some value in the second half - Holliday, S. Perez, Cowser, Quero, and Baz?
Justin Mason
12:50
Perez will. Probably holliday too
GT

14 tm 6x6 h2h keeper league where you give up the draft chocie of round player was chosen in to keep, G. Henderson is available (2nd rd pick) and I was asked for Perdomo and another piece ... how high of value is the other piece (top 30 hitter/pitcher or less) when keeping Gunnar could be a no since I was lucky enough to draft Skenes in 2nd rd and he is my keeper as of now
Justin Mason
12:52
I dont think I am giving up a top 30 hitter. Maybe top 40+ perdomo
IF-fy situation
12:52
Thanks for doing these chats! Do I move M Garcia over to SS & Sal Stewart to 2B in order to play A Vaughn at 1B, or continue playing Adames at. SS with the other two playing on the right side of the IF? This would necessitate me dropping Adames for Vaughn.
Justin Mason
12:52
Im ok with that

I'm in an 8-teamer with MI/CI and 5 OF. Is it still worth hanging on to Altuve or would you drop for Adames, Basallo, Grisham, or Waldschmidt? Heck, even Cortes seems like an upgrade at this point.
Justin Mason
12:53
I would ride the hot hand in a shallow league, so cortes
or Waldschmidt because I am a believer
Guest

Ashcraft has never tossed more than 118 innings but the Pirates are clearly in the mood to contend for the division. Do you think they just ride him and maybe limit innings per start or some other alternative? He's been pretty efficient from a pitch count standpoint.
Justin Mason
12:53
I think they ride with him. at least until 140-150
bold moves
12:54
Need to start 1 in roto: Junk @ TB or Roupp @ LAD?
Justin Mason
12:54
Junk
MF Luder
12:54
Its difficult for me to believe Carlos Cortes is a top 30ish fantasy outfielder. Am I wrong? I'm happy to ride the wave in the short term though
Justin Mason
12:54
I havent been a beleiver, but he is proving me wrong and I am starting to buy in
Bill M.
12:54
12 t dynasty roto, obp instead of avg- qs instead of w. Send luzardo and Griffin for perdomo, l Henderson and made
Justin Mason
12:54
do not trade Griffin in a dynasty
Is Bogaerts for real?
12:54
In a shallow H2H categories league, o.k. to drop Seager for Bogaerts?  Or wait a while?
Justin Mason
12:55
id hold on Seager, but it might be stubborness
