Is Tejay Antone worth keeping and eye on? Could he become the Reds closer at some point?
Justin Mason
12:24
I am keeping an eye on him right now because that Reds job is fairly open. Still think it will lean Santillan if they dont go with a committee, but I am watching the usage on all their guys right now.

Need SB's and 2B seems to be the place to get them.  OBP league and I'm between Weatherholt, Rocchio, Keaschall and Mclain.  I think I have them in the correct order, but I worry about the rookie wall with Weatherholt.
Justin Mason
12:24
Go with Wetherholt

anything to worry about with Tucker, I know there isn't but my offense isn't offensing at rate I projected and my 1st round pick is main reason
Justin Mason
12:25
not worried at all

Is Bichette or Emerson the starter for you in a 12-team H2H?  Bichette has been awful,  but has seven games.  Emerson is the great unknown at this point.
Justin Mason
12:25
Give me emerson and four lefties on the docket for him
Who's Houser?
12:25
Can you please explain how the A's could not score off Adrian Houser? Why do they hate me?
Justin Mason
12:26
sometimes miracles happen?

full disclosure: braves fan here. Is there something stuff+ might be missing about Elder? Was listening recently to sleeper podcast and got a laugh out of you clowning his 80s stuff. How many more innings would he have to keep this up for us to rethink his profile? I’m a stuffist myself, admittedly. My eyes and the results are telling me he’s a 3.7 guy (fan math), which seems viable for 12 team.
Justin Mason
12:27
to be honest, I would need to sit down and watch more of his starts. The numbers definitely don't bare out what he  has been doing, but I do agree that the numbers don't always tell the whole story. I will try and watch his start vs the Nats this week.
Saves galore
12:27
Leading my league in saves by a healthy margin thanks to the trio of Smith, O'Brien and Baker, but is that a group I can count on all season long (injuries notwithstanding)?
Justin Mason
12:27
I think it can

What are your thoughts on marsee and stowers? Are they both startable in 12 team h2h leagues? Any final stat line predictions? Thanks!
Justin Mason
12:30
Stowers is the guy I thought he was in draft season. A ton of power, but not a great contact profile. Think Jake Burger and his streakiness. Marsee has a different issue. He makes a ton of contact, but too much of it is in the air and he doesn't have the power for those not to turn into flyouts especially in that park. Marsee needs to lower his launch angle to where it was last season.

Have Torres (DET) returning from IL.  Weakest MI is Winn (STL).  Martinez (CLE) is available and qualifies at 2B/OF.  Kwan (CLE) is weakest OF.  What should I do?  Drop Winn and Kwan, pickup Martinez and activate Torres?  Thanks
Justin Mason
12:32
I probably stick with Torres and pick up Martinez, but none of these guys are super interesting
Steve

How are you feeling about l butler rest of season? Seems like there’s been some bad luck..
Justin Mason
12:33
He is definitely getting unlucky some, but the skills we saw in 2024 aren't as strong anymore and I dont think he will fully rebound to that. He is better than this though

Jhostynxon Garcia getting the call...is he worth an immediate add in deeper leagues?
Justin Mason
12:35
I think he is worth a spec pick up in deeper leagues. Not completely sure how solid his playing time is though. Could be on a short side platoon. Some upside if he can make contact, but he has never really done that.

Standard cats - do you have a preference between Jung and Steer or are they basically interchangeable in your opinion?
Justin Mason
12:35
they are pretty close
Guest
12:35
Gilbert vs Harrison RoS (I know...) is QS vs W the difference?
Justin Mason
12:36
Seems weird for this to even be a question, but I think Harrison is the right answer here. Gilbert when healthy is a stud, but I cant help but think he isn't healthy.

Would you trade 3 years of cheap keeper Konnor Griffin for an unkeepable Judge or Ohtani plus a couple fringy pieces?
Justin Mason
12:37
If I am trying to win now, I can see doing this, but I do think unless I really think I can win now, I am holding Konnor for dear life.
Guest

This has flown under the radar because of how bad they have been but is Devin Williams back?
Justin Mason
12:37
He is and it was a matter of time.
Shoot Your Shota
12:38
Nick Pollack over at Pitcher List thinks Imanaga is a potential sell-high given some velo slips in his last couple of starts. What's a reasonable trade return for him look like in roto?
Justin Mason
12:38
with the state of pitching right now, I would expect a top 50 player back
MF Luder
12:38
How long should I wait before I panic over Logan Gilbert?
Justin Mason
12:38
Should have panicked about nine months ago
My name? MY name?!
12:38
Would you trade meidroth for mayer and baker in an al only?
Justin Mason
12:38
yeah
My name? MY name?!
12:38
Or, al obp, daily moves: Schneeman or Taveras?
