Any interest in R. Blanco, coming back from TJ? How about post-trade McCullers?
Justin Mason
12:14
No interest in either tbh

I'm in a very deep dynasty pts league with (Josh) Jung and Karros helming 3B. Jung seems better from a pure talent perspective, but is often injured. Karros seems to have at least figured something out over the last 6 weeks but I'm not totally ready to buy this new level. If you had to bet on one over the next few seasons, you're going with ____?
Justin Mason
12:15
Karros. Jung just cant stay healthy

Valdez is absolutely on fire.  Walks, K’s but hits bombs.  Hitting streak too.  You still don’t like him?
Justin Mason

His contact skills are just too bad. 71% Z-contact is atrocious. For context, the worst Z-Contact in the league (qualified) is Rafael Devers at 76% and league average is 86% this year. When a player is under 80% I start to question whether they can survive at the Major League level. Are there players that can make it work under 80%? Sure, but not at a 71% level.

Re: Skubal - I had asked Paul a couple of weeks ago if he thought the Tigers would buy or sell (he said buy at that point).  Considering how well Flaherty and Melton have pitched, Tork hitting better, Gleyber and even Jobe maybe coming back soon, is all this talk about Skubal getting traded just hot air?  And do you think 6 to 1 are good odds for the Tigers to take that division?
Justin Mason
12:21
I think that the Tigers have to test the market and see what the offers are unless they within three of the division or wild card before the deadline. If they hit a hot streak here over the next two weeks, I could see them hold. They are only 4.5 out of the WC and 6 out of the division. I think there is a world where they just go for it.

Was that Robbie Ray's last start as a Giant? i Hope so...14 team H2H points redraft league. Can you rank these OF hitters rest of season? Daylen Lile, Lane Thomas, Kody Clemens, Heriberto Hernandez, Jasson Dominguez...there are other guys available but Im trying to shy away from guys who K a lot like Jo Adell and Cam Smith (points league killers) or Platoon guys like Lars Nootbaar because they are less valuable in a points league as accumulators.
Justin Mason
12:22
I think he gets one more as a Giants and then is traded by the weekend.

Hernandez, Dominguez, Lile, Thomas, Clemens

Thoughts on Bieber? Is he trending a little better after the last start or is that just fools gold?
Justin Mason
12:23
Fools gold

12 team mixed h2h; gotta drop one:injured M Garcia, or Canzone  Whoes gonna be tter ROS?

Garcia
is the drop

I have a IL filled with; Rodon, Harrison, Jobe, E Cabrera, Sevy and Strider in a keeper league. Anyone outside of Harrison warrant Dropping Brandon Young?
Justin Mason
12:24
I would drop Severino
Ragbrai
12:24
Alcantara and King, safe to stay put and I should trade for in an NL league? Or good chance they are traded and with my luck out of the league?
Justin Mason
12:25
I dont think either are dealt at the deadline
Ragbrai
12:25
I picked up Ford in WAS, does he get enough bats between cathcing and DH to be relevent? I dropped Del Castillo so I feel the bar is low for improvement.
Justin Mason
12:25
I dont think he is relevant outside of really deep OBP leagues.

Made this trade in. My AL roto. Thoughts? Traded Gunnar, Gelof, Rutschman, Ward, got back Langrliers, Soderstrom and Jeremy Pena.
Justin Mason
12:26
For this year, I think its fine. Dont love it if its a keeper because I think Gunnar will bounce back in the future.

12:26
Any chance Sebastian Walcott gets a cup of coffee in the big leagues this year?
Justin Mason
12:26
probably not.

If Miller is traded who do you think ponies up? Think Pitt and Mil could use him and have the pieces, but of course X says the yanks get everyone.
Justin Mason
12:26
Mason Miller? I dont think he's dealt
12:27
If he is, its because someone was willing to take on the Xander contract along with it. If that scenario, the Yankees make the most sense. Boston could too.
cjbaseball16
12:27
More likely to be traded Goodman or Langrliers?
Justin Mason
12:27
Goodman, but i dont think either are
David
12:28
what do you make of garrett mitchell? plate skill stats are bad but savant page is homicide red. high babip justified by elite hard hit and baserunning metrics? you interested or terrified?
Justin Mason
12:28
streaky hitter with loud tools. Injury issues and contact profile will keep him inconsistent. He is the type of guy you stream while hes hot.
Ragbrai
12:29
Do you think Tucker turns it aroud for the second half? What can I expect for stats?
Justin Mason
12:30
I think he does. His track record is just too good for him to fall apart like this at age 29.

Good day sir!Scrapping around for starters.  12 team NL-only 5x5. Brewers Org helps optimize pitchers so wondering if McCullers becomes starter & worthy of bid   Please rank Gasser, McCullers, Rangle, Pfaadt, A Andrews.
Justin Mason
12:31
Pfaadt, Gasser, Andrews, Rangel, McCullers

I am still filling Acuna's open OF spot in a 12 team 5x5 roto.  I tried Adell but 1-25 his last handful of games. I have Garrett Mitchell plugged in there now.  Other than those two, can you think of any under the radar OF who you LOVE this week who might be (widely) available?  Thanks!
