Vegas is like playing baseball on the moon. The whole week was insane.

Will load management affect Max Meyer or McShane during a potential deep fantasy playoff run?

I dont think it should

OK to drop Vinnie P?  I have Contreras and Rumfield as potential replacements.
Justin Mason
12:21
yes. He wont be back for 4-to-6 weeks and could have power issue when he returns.

Have to start Royce this week in a 12-team H2H?
Justin Mason
12:21
absolutely

With SEA's bullpen up in the air (if Munoz misses time with his back tightness), do you think there's a chance they move Hancock back to a high-leverage role in the pen?  For a contending team, it looks a little shaky back there currently.
Justin Mason
12:22
I doubt they move Hancock back but I also think Munoz will be fine. Felt precautionary to me

Stay patient w/Marsee in 13 team mixed?  Need SBs but dayum those are expensive SBs.
Justin Mason
12:23
I think he will be better rest of the way but he just doesnt hit the ball hard enough consistently to be a great option outside of the speed.

Will Smith...likely back when his IL stint ends or will extend beyond? For me, adding Rushing is Smith IL time dependent.
Justin Mason
12:26
Doesnt feel like something that will keep him out super long but I havent seen a concrete timeline.

Is Mr. Matt McLain finally figuring it out?
Justin Mason
12:28
I dont know if I am ready to say that yet. He is hitting the ball harder which is a great sign, but he has sacrificed some of his contact skills to do so. That could come back to bite him. Too early to tell, but I am leaning no.

Julio Rodriguez is having arguably the worst offensive season of his career and his expected stats don't seem to paint the picture of an unlucky hitter. Is there any reason to be concerned, or would you buy the dip in value?

Justin Mason
12:29
I would buy the dip. He's been getting unlucky in the BABIP, xBA is .265 and his underlying contact skills are actually some of the best of his career. Power is still there. Could have a big second half.

AL Only 5x5 weekly lineup: where do you fall on Slade Cecconi's @mil @hou two-start over Bryan King or Jake Junis? Thank you for answering these btw! Some tough choices this week!
Justin Mason
12:30
I dont really trust Cecconi so I would lean one of the relievers.

Ryan Walker has been pitching decently during and after his demotion.  Do you think he regains the closer role by the end of the month?
Justin Mason
12:30
He definitely could but I think that say more about how bad the Giants bullpen is more than Walker

When evaluating Gage Jump for dynasty leagues how much do you ding him for his current and future home park environment?
Justin Mason
12:31
I ding him a little for the current park, but that will change long term so I dont worry about it too much unless I am going for a championship right now.

12 team custom roto.OBP, 3 OF.  What to expect from Acuna ROS once off IL? Who would be good fit for trade? The
Justin Mason

I think he goes back to being who he is which is a stud with an injury prone label. I dont often like to pay a ton for these guys because of the chance you could get very little from them if they get hurt again.
Mike S
12:33
Do you start Munoz this week or are you too concerned about down time (and performance right now)?
Justin Mason
12:33
I am starting him where I have him

Springer was dropped in a 12 team league. Is he a must roster based on upside alone? his underlying metrics arent pretty at the moment
Justin Mason
12:33
I dont think he is

IF IF IF Royce Lewis can stay healthy...is he 30/15 pace ROS?
Justin Mason
12:34
I will kick that football every time. I believe in the talent. He just cant stay healthy.

Which MLB player could probably make the World Cup roster?
Justin Mason
12:35
Bobby Witt Jr and Cody Bellinger played college soccer apparently?
Mike
12:36
Just when we think Sasaki has figured it out, he gets absolutely torched...
Justin Mason
12:36
yeah, still went into the fifth tho and the stuff looked good.
Person

dustin may - hot streak, or figuring it out?
Justin Mason
12:37
a little of both. Getting the swings and misses he didnt have in LA. Will regress some, but he is a usable fantasy pitcher now.

Has Matt Chapman finally unlocked his power, or just a fluky hot streak?
