General question: how much thought/effort do you put into “escape plans” for players on IL? Example would be Henderson looks great and may only need one more rehab start, so I’m thinking now as to who the drop would be when that day comes. Do you plan ahead or let Future You sort it out?
Justin Mason
12:15
I usually let future me decide because often these things work themselves out by themselves. For instance I got a lot of questions last week about should I drop this player or that player or Marcus Semien. ultimately, Semien gets hurt and your decision is made for you.

Do you trust Tolle enough against Washington this week? Shallow H2H so I don't strictly need the start. Could replace with O'Brien or Helsley.
Justin Mason
12:15
I do

If Grant Holmes is "The Realtor", we have to agree that Clay Holmes is "The Adobe Realtor", right?

Is JJ Bleday starting to look like a drop in a 12T 5x5 OPS league? Some decent bats on the wire like Domingez, Ewing and even Austin Riley is hanging around the wire...would you take any of those over JJ?
Justin Mason
12:16
I would grab Riley on upside alone.

In a league were my best chance to make up ground is in the R and HR categories: I have the following outfielders: Greene, Abreu, Crews, Carrigg, and thankfully Schwarber. With Teoscar coming off the DL, who should I drop?
Justin Mason
12:16
Carrigg

I know dynasty isn't necessarily your wheelhouse but with an offense of cisco alvarez, troy johsnton, Travis B, Karros, masyn winn, jacob wilson, Nick G, Guzman, Heriberto, Evan Carter, PCA, Volpe, Mccarthy, Doyle, Simpson, Mauricio, Casas, Lawlar, Henry Davis and no notable offensive prospects am I supposed to break PCA into a lesser piece and prospects??
Justin Mason

So in these types of situations, I look for really young prospects. In a really deep league where I needed to rebuild back in 2017, I traded a young, cheap correa into:

OF Soto, Juan 0.5 10/25/1998 WAS
SS Lewis, Royce 0.5 6/5/1999 MIN
RHP Manning, Matt 0.5 1/28/1998 DET
RHP Toussaint, Touki 2.5 6/20/1996 ATL
RHP Alvarez, Yadier 1.5 3/7/1996 LAD
Braves 2018 AMAT 1st Rounder (1.06)

All these guys were like 19 years old and super far away and while really only Soto hit, it was worth it for me. Look for guys that have massive upside but are super far away and try and get a package for the future.

btw, that draft pick turned into Jordan Groshans so not great either lol

Tough injury for KC's Nick Loftin in Chicago this weekend. Think he'll be able to avoid the Non-Paternity List?

Would you trade Painter for Langford in a dynasty league? Both are similar contract situation. Wondering if Langford might be a safer investement
Justin Mason
12:24
yes, absolutely I would

Do you think Sproat has turned the corner?  Like him over Melton or Scott ROS?
Justin Mason
12:24
The last start was really impressive. Need to see him continue to attack the zone and show good command. Jury is still out, but I picked him back up where I dropped him in leagues.
AU86
12:24
drop Manaea for Sheehan?  Buehler?  redraft
Justin Mason

seems lateral

Do you think Trevor Rogers has figured it out again? Keeping Imanaga for this 2-step but if he blows one of them, is he droppable for Rogers, Imai or Buehler?
Justin Mason
12:25
I think he is figuring it out. I am starting both Rogers and Imanaga this week, but I would have no problem dropping Imanaga in leagues after this week if it goes poorly again.

Trevor Larnach has been cooking this month. Do you think this is a 29 year old breakout? Or a flash in the pan?
Justin Mason
12:27
Feels mostly like a hot streak. Underlying numbers are any better than they have been for the season.

With H. Greene about to come back, I need to cut one of my depth starters.  Lodolo, Ray, Bieber, Roupp, Early.  I'm in 1st in my HTH so I can think a little about who's most likely to help me come playoff time.  Who would you cut?
Justin Mason
12:27
Probably Roupp
