I believe that flags fly forever and to go for it if you have a shot to win. I would do Bradish and Perdomo for Gunnar. I wouldnt include soderstrom or busch though personally. I do think the addition of the first baseman is too much.
12:37
Always treat it like a math equation

Is the difference between Henderson and Perdomo, Busch and Bradish? I dont think it is.

Yohendrick pinango, when in the bigs and in the lineup, seems to hit cleanup, leadoff or 2 hole primarily. However he also seems to be the first to go when guys get healthy. Is his defense really that bad and DH that clogged that someone they seem to view as one of their top batters doesn’t crack the lineup anymore? Is he worth holding in a 14 team dynasty that starts 4 OF + 1 until? Based on his statcast data and lineup slot (when penciled in) it seems like he should be a 4 category contributor despite the projections but maybe in the one projecting

His defense is pretty bad, but I do feel like they should be giving him as many opportunities against righties as they can while he is hitting. He is terrible versus lefties so he at best is a strong-side platoon bat. The problem is they have to play springer at DH a lot to protect him. If Springer gets hurt, then he could find himself with a boatload of playing time.

Is it time to cut bait on Sheehan or Hancock? No wins and ERA over 6 for Sheehan in last 30. Hancock's K's have disappeared. Available replacements, Melton, Jump, Gore, Bibee, Brandon Young
Justin Mason
12:42
Im ok dumping Sheehan for Young or Bibee. I am still holding Hancock for another start or two.

Which returning injured pitcher can have a big impact ROS - Woodruff or Flaherty?  Or do you think both of their age/injuries are just too shaky to rely on for the rest of the season.
Justin Mason
12:42
Woodruff. He at least has always been good when on the mound.

Canzone's savant page is blood red, but so is his hammy.  Sub 20% k rate.  Real or Mirage?
Justin Mason
12:44
I think the strikeouts rise and the average lowers some, but the power metrics seem legit and he rakes versus righties. I lean real here as a strong side powerhouse.
Peter Larsen

With Lindor likely back who'd you cut between Roccio or E. Duran? 12tm H2H OBP redraft league.
Justin Mason

Roccio

Have to set my lineup for the week today. In your opinion, if Witt is out again tonight is it safe to assume he'll hit the IL for the rest of the week?
Justin Mason
12:44
I think so

A lot of the writers say Sheehan is a bounce back candidate-do you see it or is time to stream his spot?
Justin Mason
12:45
I have not been a believer in Sheehan like a lot of others, so I would just stream
Peter Castro

Hi Justin, what are your expectations for Blaze Jordan this year and beyond?
Justin Mason
12:47
I think there is a good amount of power in the bat and a decent to above average hit tool. The approach hasnt been good in the minors or since his call up which may lead to prolonged slumps at times, but the overall profile should play at the Majors.

braxton garrett is pitching very well in AAA despite his rough mlb outings. marlins rotation lacks depth/health. do you have your eye on garrett in the 2nd half?
Justin Mason
12:47
He is absolutely someone I have on my watch list right now. I think he could be an interesting second half guy.

is it possible to convince someone, if it's unsolicited, that you are including someone from your side in a trade because you actually think that player would add value to the other roster, and it's not just to offload them?
Justin Mason
12:48
I think it is all about how you phrase things. I try to approach trades in a way that is as win-win for everyone as can be. "Hey, you need speed and I need power. Can we make a swap for these players?"

Got a sit Vladdy this week, for his 6 game homestand? He hasn’t broken his cherry yet in the HR Dept in his crib.
Justin Mason
12:49
I am not sitting him, but I understand if you do.

Was really excited to pick up Dustin May, and then his last outing happened. Would you start him of Troy Melton this week, and how do you feel about him going forward?
Justin Mason
12:49
Ill take May vs the Marlins

Will Luis Robert Jr. produce anything of value this season?
Justin Mason
12:50
probably not

Yesterday was only the second two-hit game Noelvi has had since the recall, most games, you have to hope he does something with the one hit he does get. Statcast suggests he’s been a bit lucky in doing that. Is he any better than he’s been in previous trials or is he the guy I can cut when Rooker returns (whenever that may be)?
Justin Mason
12:53
Marte has been one of the hardest guys in baseball for me to project. His lack of Major League time due to inconsistency and injury makes him difficult to project. He makes a lot of contact (which I love), but a lot of it is on the ground which doesn't lead to power. There is decent speed there. I dont know that he is much better than he has been in previous chances and that tells me he may be sent back down if he struggles.

At what point do you think we'll start seeing innings-management shenanigans? After the AS Break? I have a bunch of arms that I
Justin Mason
12:54
we usually see them right before the all-star break. I will definitely take a look at this for a future article.

RE: Gunnar offer ... other org just offered to add Freeman to the deal, I already have Olson, Busch is my DH ... is Perdomo, Bradish & Busch too little now if return is Gunnar and Freeman? I like soderstrom and don't want to include him & have this thing about being fair in trades, I don't like runing future relationships by knowingly getting too over on a swap
Justin Mason
12:55
It might be too little but I would at least ask.

I’m kinda buying into Esteury Ruiz. Howzabout you?
Justin Mason
12:55
not at all. he's still the same guy that can steal bases and not much else

I find myself with some outfield depth and need pitching in a full dynasty league. People are interested in jasson domniguez. Would you deal him for any of these guys or a combination of: troy melton, noah cameron, connelly early, logan gilbert? I'm excited to see what martian can do with consistent playing time, so I value him highly. I think I'd do a deal for melton and another prospect or two or for gilbert. Wdyt?
Justin Mason
12:56
If I could get Connelly or Gilbert for him, I am doing that.

Wax Poetic about Jac Caglioanone's last 30 days in the majors
Justin Mason
12:57
Thirty days, and the ball took flight,
Jac Caglianone lit up the night.
Line drives screaming, homers that soar,
Pitchers learned not to challenge anymore.
A month gone by, yet fans all know—
When Jac gets hot, the fireworks show.
