Craig Yoho worth an add in 16T S+H dynasty over Keaton Winn?
Justin Mason
12:17
yes

Zimmerman is very negative on Cowser.  What is your take in a 12-team 5 OF league with some options, but not great.
Justin Mason
12:18
I have been a big Cowser guy but the struggles with lefties in particular and his swing and miss issues have taken a lot of the shine off of him. I think he could be a good strong side platoon bat and the underlying contact skill have been much better over the last two weeks, but its a small sample and I dont want to overreact to that.

My pitching IL team seems stronger than my active team. Are you aware of any IL fantasy leagues? I could be crushing one if so.
Justin Mason
12:18
I need that format right now. The last month has been brutal.

Nola’s under the hood numbers suggest he could still be a deep league option. Is he anything more than a streamer at this point?
Justin Mason
12:19
Nah, just a streamer in good matchups

Interested in stash for possible call up? Control has apparently been better of late, though three walks yesterday (to go with 9 ks)
Justin Mason
12:20
I think he is a viable deep league stash. Still worry about the control but the White Sox need another starter and he would make sense.

Travis Bazzana for Alejandro Kirk and JJ Wetherholt. Who wins this trade?
Justin Mason
12:20
Wetherholt side
Smitty

Really quick follow-up: Would you trade Riley just for Bryce Miller or is that not enough to get back for Riley?
Justin Mason
12:20
I think I would want a smaller piece back ontop of miller

Who would you rather have in a keep forever 14 tear 5x5 roto - Hoerner or X. Edwards?  Edwards is 2 years younger.
Justin Mason
12:20
Hoerner but its very close

$260 salary cap dynasty league. Would you rather have Emerson Hancock at $1 and Chandler Simpson at $3 or Acuna at $65?
Justin Mason
12:21
Hancock at $1

I’m in a competitive dynasty league where one team who has finished near the bottom of the standings for a few years in a row is pretty known for making terrible trades. By May/June, all the teams in the mix usually poach his good players for scraps and it has become a point of frustration in the league. And when I say scraps I mean the trades are almost always slam dunk wins for the team in the mix. Is there any reasonable way to handle this situation?
Justin Mason
12:23
This is tough. I am in a league with a trade committee that approves trades as a group in part to protect owners. However, I hate this. Part of the game is learning how not to lose trades and sometimes you are going to lose them. I dont like telling people how to manage their teams. If someone pays their money, they should be allowed to play the way they want within the rules.
12:24
I guess I would ask these questions back: Is he enjoying it? Are his trades damaging the league?
12:25
If he answers no to the first or you answer yes to the last, maybe you should replace him

Justin Mason

Is Jake Mangum real? Been absolutely cruising since coming back and is tied for 10th in net stolen bases Hits at the bottom of the order but usually with Horowitz and Lowe 1-2 so the runs can be there
Justin Mason
12:27
He is getting pretty lucky in BABIP and hitting a ton of groundballs. He will regress, but there is a good amount of speed in the profile and he will play.

A month from now, is Bolte an everyday player, a platooner, or back in AAA?
Justin Mason
12:27
back in AAA

How you feeling about Gore ROS?  I'm not dropping him (AL-only league) but am I still "all in" or benching him against tough offenses?
Justin Mason
12:28
I think he is who he is at this point which is a guy that will be inconsistent start to start. more of a team streamer
Wild Joe Boyle
12:28
Looks like he's only gone one inning in the last couple of outings. Are the Rays looking at converting him to a reliever? If so, is that anything?
Justin Mason
12:28
I will check with Jason and see if he has heard anything, but I doubt they make him a closer
Sad Hitter
12:29
Who do you believe is more likely to return to form: Corey Seager or Brent Rooker?
Justin Mason
12:29
Rooker

Do you trust Cecconi at all? Not just against the Yankees again but for ROS. He seems to have reduced his walks and HRs in the last few outings but it's such a small sample.
Justin Mason
12:29
Not really. I think he is just a back of the rotation guy that gives innings.

Need to reduce SP pace so limiting myself to Cole/Burns/Schlittler as locks for the time being and adding in a fourth or fifth depending. If you needed to sub in two SP ROS, who'd you pick in order: McLean, Luzardo/R. Suarez/Alcantara. Or matchups?
