Odds Boston plays Mead at 2B enough to get him eligible next year?
Justin Mason
12:02
I think the odds are pretty likely he gets there. He is only 14 games away and it sounds like that is where Boston would prefer him to play if he can handle it. Thats a big if so I think there is a chance he is so bad defensively that he falls short. 75% chance he does?

What do you  think of S.Baz ? He’s only went 5+ innings in two of this last 4 starts. Is he a drop ? Clay Holmes , Wesneski, Bieber, Prielipp, Imai are available. Wins are needed
Justin Mason
12:03
I am ok dropping him for Holmes who I think will be pretty good and on a contender by next monday.

Thoughts on Colt Emerson ROS?
Justin Mason
12:06
Im interested to see if the Mariners actually trade him as reports suggest he is available. if he is on a new team, I think hes playing every day. If he is in Seattle, I think there is a chance he gets sent back down especially if they acquire a short term solution. He hasnt been great with a sub 80% z-contact and the hit tool being his best tool makes him virtually unusable until he can make more contact.

H2H Points league, how would rank these end of bench guys for ROS/a playoff run? Gleyber, Canzone, Garrett Mitchell. Thanks!

Canzone

At this late point of the season, name value is one thing, but stats don't lie. After getting the same snarky answer from 2 "friends", I hesitate to ask but I will anyway: Is it crazy to consider dropping Mookie for Jeremy Pena?
Justin Mason
12:06
I dont think it is crazy at this point.

Two start Sproat @ SF @ Angels or L Henderson @SF?
Acknowledging the fact that Sproat suffers from Christian Scott Disease, the inability to go 5 innings.
Justin Mason
12:06
Sproat for me. Im starting him today.
Gregg
12:06
I'm debating rolling out Tolle (@ATH, @LAD) or Ashcraft (@CIN) this week. Which would you choose?
Justin Mason
12:06
Tolle and pray

12 Team Standard Dynasty, Keep Forever. Which side of a trade do you prefer: Langford and Merrill for Misiorowski?
Justin Mason
12:07
Mis

Gage Jump. You outlined the tough matchups ahead. Silly to hold in al only? Should I swap for Patrick Sandoval or a middle reliever?
Justin Mason
12:07
I think I would take a middle reliever. Its just hard to have half a starter at this point in the season.
NicklePickers
12:07
Is Tolle a keeper at $18 in AL Only? Are you starting tonight in SacTown?
Justin Mason
12:07
I would but I would be scared.

Will you be doing a chat next week with the trade deadline on tap, or is it all hands on deck? When will the stove start heating up Thur? Fri? Not until the weekend?
Justin Mason
12:08
I am planning to! I dont know if I will get bumped with the deadline, but someone will be here for sure.
NicklePickers
12:08
DeGrom or Gavin Williams, ros?
Justin Mason
12:08
Degrom but close
NicklePickers

How many saves will a stud closer like Hader or Baker get ROS? Trying to decide if it's worth adding saves if I'm down 30 in AL Only and my only closer is Tyler Wells...
Justin Mason
12:09
probably looking at 10-15
if youre down 30, you may want to just punt.

How long is Walbert Ureña going to keep this up? Long enough for me to drop someone like Ashcraft/Drohan/L. Henderson/Cavalli for the two-step? super shallow H2H points league
Justin Mason
12:10
I would be pretty hesitant to drop any of those guys for Walbert. At some point regression will come for him and this feels like a good week for it.

Bangeliers down. Is Heim à decent candidate rest of season because of Park and clear path to playing time, or is he a potential move candidate? Other options on the wire are Elias Diaz, Austin Wells, Patrick Bailey, Nick Fortes
Justin Mason
12:11
I think he could definitely get traded this week, but it is a home week and I would stream him for now and see what happens.

Would you rather have Gleyber Torres or Travis Bazzana ROS?

Hey Justin - How do you think the weather/ballpark will play in Sactown in Aug/Sept?  Was wondering if it will play like a launching pad the rest of the year, or if it turns more neutral if the weather cools off.
Justin Mason
12:12
it doesn't cool off here until october at the earliest. Some of our highest temps come in August and September. I remember a week of 115-120 degree days in mid september back in 2017 that preceeded the fires here that year. I think its going to play like a launching pad rest of the way.

In a 12 TM Al only roto. Need steals. Traded canzone for Simpson? Does the value seem fair? Also, do you think a Woo/Lane Thomas package is enough to get Kurtz?
Justin Mason
12:13
That seems fair to me especially if you needed steals. I wouldnt trade kurtz for that, but its worth asking.

Hi Justin! 10-team OBP roto league with limited keepers (4 max) and a salary cap ($260). I'm in first and have been offered a deal by a manager who's out of it and looking to next season. It's a doozy: I give up Yordan ($26 to keep next year) for J-Ram, Alonso and Langford. Assuming he's serious, this is a slam-dunk yes, right? My only hesitation is Yordan is my best keeper candidate for 2027.
Justin Mason
12:14
yeah, im doing that. Dont worry about the keeper stuff when you are trying to bring home the trophy. Play to win.
