Quick thoughts on Alec Burleson?   Are you a believer?  He seems to be turning into a legit slugger right before our eyes.  His BS page is all red!
Justin Mason
12:20
He has sacrificed a bit of his approach and contact for power and it is working. I think there is a chance that his average and OBP suffers a little for it down the road, but I wouldnt think a ton since he is still league average in zone contact. I love this breakout and wish I had bought in more this year.

Would you consider Perdomo or Adames an upgrade over a guy like Stott?  I can't figure out what is going on in SF - seems that clubhouse is a mess, maybe a change of scenery would do Adames good.
Justin Mason
12:21
I would consider them upgrades over Stott, but I dont think there is any chance the Giants can trade Adames without eating a large chunk of that contract so he will be stuck in SF for the foreseeable future.

What's a fair return for Nolan McLean in a keeper roto league? Thinking about offering him to our league's Mets fan and was wondering if Colson Montgomery or Josh Naylor is a reasonable ask
Justin Mason
12:22
I think Naylor is a fair ask. I would want more than Montgomery considering his average issues.

Have you ever had to wave off one of the FG editors regarding one of your pieces like Devers pulled yesterday?
Justin Mason
12:24
To my editors credit, I have never had to wave them off and they have never tried to replace me mid article. I am definitely grateful for that as I do write in a very different style than many of my RotoGraphs colleagues.

Oof. Didn't mean to send. Rotating door at 3B since Murakami has been hurt. I have Colt Keith, Kyle Karros, and Tommy Edman. Drop anyone for Caleb Durbin and his recent hot streak? Positional flexibility at 2B is a factor (Edman, Keith) because I'm running a mix of Semien, Nuñez, and Volpe at 2B and SS. Or do I drop Semien or Volpe for Durbin?
Justin Mason
12:24
I would drop Volpe if its not a dynasty league. Semien if it is.

14 tm 6x6 h2h, which side do you like more of a M. Meyer for M. Muncy trade where categories are OBP, HR, TB, RBI, SB, R, ERA, WHIP, K, W, QS, SV and my current 3B is Riley while the rest of my staff is Skenes, Eovaldi, Bradish, Cole with Greene and E. PErez on the IL and possibly returning soon.
Justin Mason
12:26
I prefer Muncy there, but I can understand making that trade if you want to add to the pitching. I dont think you need to though

Fastball Fredie has to be hurt...doesn't he ?
Justin Mason
12:28
He just got BABIP'd to death last start. I dont see much in the numbers that points to injury. Maybe he is dealing with something, but there isnt much standing out. Ill sit down and watch his start this week and maybe ill see something mechanically.

In my SOLDs league, I have to dump 2 of Helsley, Sabrowski, Bender, Jacob Webb, and Jeff Hoffman by this afternoon. What do you think?
Justin Mason
12:28
Hoffman and Bender

Who gets PT reduction with Elly back - McLain or Arroyo or other?
Justin Mason
12:29
Arroyo probably does

Crews seems to have figured something out.  In OBP, cut either Marsh, Carrigg or Marsee?
Justin Mason
12:30
I think its Carrigg for me. I just dont see a ton in the profile
Kyle O'Brien

I traded for Jordan Walker about a month ago and I am constantly paranoid he will turn back into a pumpkin. He is in a bit of a cold spell with a significant number of strikeouts. Can I relax and enjoy this new version or do you have concerns over big regression to his career averages?
Justin Mason
12:32
I do not think he is as good as he has been for this season, but I also think the raising in launch angle has helped a good amount even if it doesn't look drastic. That being said, I still think he is a sell high guy because I do not know how long he can keep up this type of average with an 81% Z-contact. Even if he does regress tho, there should be some goodness with power, so you dont have to sell if you dont want to.

Are you buying J.Bell over Marsh or J. Duran?
Justin Mason
12:32
No

12 team H2H pts, weighted heavily towards IP and Ks.  Is it time to bail on Sheehan?  For Trevor Rogers or Bubba Chandler?
Justin Mason
12:33
I need the gif from the office where Pam says "its the same picture"

Woah, no more handle field?  How am I supposed to Matt Damon the MATT. DAMON. ?
Justin Mason
12:34
We need to pour one out for MATT DAMON.

Justin Mason
12:34

14 tm 6x6 h2h keeper where you give up draft pick of same rd player was chosen, my team is in lack of pop, have been running Perdomo at SS all season which has been a problem, we are ranked # 1 OBP so can take a hit with a new SS on that, Gunnar is available, 2nd rd pick, not a keeper on my team, is one of Bradish/Meyer, Busch/Soderstrom & Perdomo too much to give in a possible trade for a rental
