i traded freddie freeman for cal raleigh early in the season in an 8 team ottoneu points. is there any world in which that doesn't feel like an awful trade by end of season?
Justin Mason
12:54
I think both will be fine by the end of the season
Why Not Zoidberg?
12:54
Sonny Gray or Mize ROS?
Justin Mason
12:54
Gray
Jackie Chiles
12:55
Aside from the weather heating up, do you have any hope for Soderstrom?
Justin Mason
12:55
underlying numbers are totally fine. Easy buy low right now

Hi, Justin. Should I start AJ Ewing, Keaschall, or Gelof at 2B this week? Josh Jung or Casey Schmidt at 3B? Thanks!
Justin Mason
12:56
Ewing and SChmidt
Ottoneu points 8 team taco league!

Can Ben Rice keep this up?
Justin Mason

I am a believer
Trade for Bat
12:56
What level of starter would it take to get a guy like Murakami? Messick? Schlittler?
Justin Mason
12:56
I would not give up a pitcher like that for him. Murakami's contact profile is super scary. He is a sell high for me

this is jp crawford's EIGHTH season in seattle? I thought it was like 4
Justin Mason

I remember when they drafted him. It's crazy

Any juice to Griffin Jax as a SP? Is he worth a roster spot in a 12 teamer to see if there's anything to him?
Justin Mason
12:57
I definitely want to watch him this week. The stuff isn't as sharp in the rotation and I just don't know if there will be enough juice as a starter.

12 team, H2H points; Sale or Misiorowski ROS?
Justin Mason
12:58
Sale
Bench

Herrera, Basallo or Dingler in 1-C shallow mixed?  Herrera does everything well except hit fly balls, while Basallo clearly seems to have the most long term upside.  But does Herrera’s significant volume lead swamp them all in the end?
Justin Mason
12:58
Herrera for me

Trade proposal, Is Gunnar Henderson worth Perdomo and Busch/Langford in a keeper league where I won't be keeping Gunnar since Skenes was chosen in same round and is my keeper, 14 tm 6x6 h2h where categories are OBP, HR, R, SB, HR, TB and my OF is currently Tucker, Wood and DeLauter
Justin Mason
12:58
I am not doing this with Langford, but I would do Perdomo and Busch
Paralysis

When we’re trying to evaluate pitchers, how should we balance Swstr% vs CSW% vs Stuff+ vs all the other different metrics we could look at, or should we just take the K-BB% as the end result of all those things?  I’m thinking of guys like Warren who has the stuff and the K-BB, but not the Swstr to support it, or Meyer/Sheehan types who have the K-BB and the Swstr but not the Stuff.  Should we avoid bad fastballs altogether?

I think you should look at it all to develop the picture you are trying to decipher. For instance with Warren, he has always been good at stealing strikes while I do think the strikeouts regress, maybe not as much as the swinging strike rate suggests. I think we as a community try to apply the numbers evenly across the board, but that is not a great process in individual cases and we need to look at the players in their own context.
