Hi! 12-tm, H2H, category … is Drohan (vs PHI) worth holding as SP? How would you value Drohan, Z. Matthew’s (@DET), Melton (vs MIN, @CLE)? Thanks!

Justin Mason

12:02

I would rather have Zebby and Melton over Drohan.

How we feeling about Wyatt Langford's ROS outlook? Been solid since coming back, but April was UGLY and there's always the injury threat looming.

Justin Mason

12:03

There is legit upside in Langford's bat. I am not ready to call him injury prone, but he is definitely trending that way. The underlying skills are still good but I do think we overrated his meteoric rise through the minors and overlooked that he didnt get a ton of development time.

What do you see for Eldridge ROS stat wise?

Justin Mason

12:05

I am honestly a bit surprised by how well he is handling his promotion to the Majors. He is making a lot more contact than he ever has in the minors and not sacrificing power to do it. I doubt it keeps up at this rate, but this is a potential 40 homer bat and maybe more if he can make close to league average contact.

Does Mlod return this season as a starter? How do you seem him used and how is he best used? Is he a potential closer?

Justin Mason

12:07

I think he will. any injury will get him back in the rotation.

12 Team 4x4 Traditional Mixed Roto

Activating Langford - need to drop one of: T Ward or Ewing. Needs in all hitting cats. OR...keep both, bench one and can drop a SP: Messick, Lodolo. What say you?

Justin Mason

12:08

I would drop lodolo

Tatis for M Vargas. Which side do you want? Does it matter that it is a 12-team 5 OF H2H, so Tatis being OF eligible might be slightly more valuable in the abstract.

Justin Mason

12:08

Tatis

Is Del Castillo playig himself out of a job? When Kepler returns does Del Castillo get DFAed?

Justin Mason

12:09

I think he could get sent down, but I dont think he is DFA'd

Smitty

I have Vargas at 3B & Abrams at SS in my 12 team mix with OPS instead of BA. Riley has been alternating between UTIL and my bench. Would you trade Riley for Trea Turner & Bryce Miller?

Justin Mason

12:10

I would.

Hazmat

Rumfield seems to be slowing down to the point where the promise of Coors power isn’t really happening. Still holding, and what leagues does he still have value in?

Justin Mason

12:10

15 team mixed and deeper

Nick

12:10

give up Riley and Melton (message cut off)

Justin Mason

12:10

still would

Otto Lopez

12:10

Sell high?

Justin Mason

12:11

I dont know that I would. Yes, he will regress, but that doesnt mean he wont still give you speed and a good average and I dont think anyone is overpaying for him

Troy Melton?

12:11

Which goes up first — my K rate or my ERA?

Justin Mason

12:11

both lol. I am going to guess the K rate

RAGBRAI

Runs/RBIs are fairly close between Bergman and Nunez. Nunez is crushing SB and Bergman has 5 HRs to Nunez's O, Plus Bergman has a better OBP. Making them similar in NL stat production. Why am I unhappy with both? Will Bergman start showing more power?

Justin Mason

12:14

I think Bregman is just going to disappoint this year. The hard hit rate, avg exit velo are both down. He isn't making the same level of contact in Chicago. Maybe its an adjustment period, but Im a bit worried. Nunez has been kind of who we thought he was. A ton of speed some on base skills and not much else.

Bat Boy

12:14

Is Luis Castillo worth chasing? (10 team dynasty league). He was recently cut and I have guys like Nola (probably the easy cut), Zebby, and even Nick Martinez and his magic his pixie dust may be running that seem like they could likely be dropped. Not looking as a keeper but depth arms is what I am chasing here. Thanks in advance Justin!

Justin Mason

12:15

In a 10, you should be able to find a little better, but I did pick up Castillo in a few leagues that are deeper and I think he is a viable streamer

Mike

12:15

Start Eldridge this week or wait and see (12-team, H2H, utility spot, so decent options like Busch at Coors)?

Justin Mason

12:15

Im starting him

Guest

10 team AL and NL points league. My catchers are Adley Rutschman and Dillon Dingler, with Alejandro Kirk on IL. What should I do with Kirk when he comes back? I wanna trade him but I have a great team and don’t feel like I need anything…

Justin Mason

12:16

trade him. Even if its for a minor upgrade

Guest

Over/under Colt Keith HR: 5
