5x5 Cats redraft- Freeman or Josh Naylor ROS?

Justin Mason

Freeman but close

5x5 Cats redraft- Bichette or Austin Riley ROS?

Justin Mason

Bichette

Get Carter

12:01

Carter Jensen dropped in my OBP roto league. As someone with Raleigh on the IL and Daniel Susac currently my C, that's a no-brainer add, right?

Justin Mason

12:01

absolutely

Did you see the Giants OF postgame celebration and ads

Justin Mason

12:02

I saw the celebration. Made me laugh.

Hello! 5x5 (OBP), 12 tm league w/ 3 OF spots. How close am I to dropping George Springer? He's 36 and battling foot injuries. Even if his hitting rebounds some I'm not convinced the steals are there at all. The projection systems seem (much) too optimistic to me.

Justin Mason

12:03

I think it's ok to move on in a shallow OF league like that if there is a good replacement available.

Did you see the Giants outfield postgame celebration and are you still a Giants fan

Justin Mason

12:03

I did and I am

A lot of prospects have come up already. Who is lingering in AAA or AA and might be forcing their way in to being called up in the next four to six weeks?

Justin Mason

12:04

Jonah Tong, Max Clark, Walter Jenkins, JOshua Baez, Thomas White

Francis

12:04

Sewald keep the job when Puk comes back? Committee?

Justin Mason

12:04

I think he keeps it initially, but Puk will be lurking if Sewald struggles

Zack

12:05

Thoughts on the Gelofissance in Sacramento? Ks and whiffs way down, contact up, less chase, improved swing metrics, more pulled flyballs ... is he actually a viable player to roster long-term?

Justin Mason

12:07

There are some encouraging things, but he still is not a good in-zone hitter and struggling with breaking stuff. I don't think this will stick. You can ride the hot streak, but it's a sell high or jump off when it cools down type of situation

Zac Gallen

12:07

Is all hope lost for me? Worth starting against SFG in a 12 team Ottoneu?

Justin Mason

12:07

I think there is not much hope

12:07

Hey Justin! Would you drop Waldschmidt for Lile, Bleday, or Steer? It's a keeper league at round value and I took him with my last pick.

Justin Mason

12:08

I dont think id drop him in a keeper.

Am I crazy for targeting Cedric Mullins over Ewing and others this week? Fraley just went to the IL Mullins has been awful mostly but hitting .343 over last 14 and just had that monster game right as he's thrust into a full time role?

Justin Mason

12:09

I dont think you are crazy. I think a lot of people overbid on Ewing and Bolte this week. I saved my money and went for cheaper options as well.

Matt

12:09

Pick 2 or these 3 mediocre closers to start this week: Baker, Fairbanks, Seranthony Dominguez

Justin Mason

12:09

Baker and Fairbanks

Pete

12:09

Can you see AJ Ewing working his way into being the Mets everyday leadoff hitter (super high OBP in the minors and so far in the majors, even factoring in some regression)? And if so, how excited should we be about the prospects of him hitting 1 every day from a fantasy perspective? Thank you!

Justin Mason

12:10

The mets have shown they will lead off a rookie so I can see it. He just needs to make enough contact with that walk rate to keep the OBP high. I definitely think he can.

InsertWittyNameHere

12:10

In an OBP league, I have two major conundrums in hitting: Do I sub in Yandy for the Polar Bear? And what do I do between Austin Riley (heating up) and Miguel Vargas? Vargas is also 1B eligible, so ::shrugs::?

Justin Mason

12:12

I am still going Pete. I would see if I could trade either Riley or Vargas. I like both.

Jac Jams

12:12

12 H2H, league with OPS. Is it time to give up on Keaschall? I have a surplus of steals, and need power. Should I pick up Jac Caglianone instead of him?

Justin Mason

12:12

absolutely.

2-5 start to season, beyond frustrated, have lost in all kinds of way, lacking homeruns and run prevention is my issue, 6x6 h2h where pitching categories are: W, QS, ERA, WHIP, K & SV/HOLD; my current staff is Skenes, Eovaldi, Meyer, Perez, Bradish (recently picked up off waivers) with an IL of Ragans, Cole and H. Greene, let me know if I should stay the course or blow this up, here are my rankings in league thus far, 3rd in K, 4th in W, 4th in WHIP, 8th in SV/HOLD, 13th in QS, 10th in ERA

Justin Mason

stay the course.
