Dropped Will Warren in my 12-teamer and now I am free. Seriously, though, when do results on the field outweigh projections? He has 287 career innings of a 4.87 ERA. SIERA has him with a 3.99 ERA rest of season. (Other projection systems are higher). Are projection systems just bad at projecting pitchers like Warren who congenitally give up a lot of dingers?
Justin Mason
12:29
I think projections have a hard time capturing command (good or bad.) they also are projecting a median outcome which is not what we actually normally get.

How much am I going to regret trading away Mead for Taylor Ward in dynasty if I don’t win the title this year? On a scale of 1-10, I’m guessing 11

What are your thoughts / any advice for "fence sitting? I am in 5th place (first five teams win money) and I've got almost no chance of winning the league. 6th Place gets 1st round TS pick. I want to try and tread water and stay where I am, while also selling guys I wont keep or have on expiring deals.....
Justin Mason
12:31
I usually like to commit to a plan. Yes winning money is nice this year, but winning the league next year is better.

What chance do you give Adames being traded as a salary dump? ...ROS H2H points league (redraft), pls rank: D Lile, D Crews, L Lara, CE-S, B Montgomery, T Peters
Justin Mason
12:32
like 5% chance. No one wants that contract unless the Giants eat a ton or get creative.

Lile, Peters, Crews, Lara, CES, Montgomery

With the upcoming labor uncertainty, do you think this will be a quiet trade deadline?  And is it possible that F Peralta winds up being the biggest name moved?
Justin Mason
12:33
I think there is a chance Peralta is the biggest name moved, but I think that the labor unrest might make it a more active deadline as teams where their window is the next two years may want to priortize this year with next year in doubt.

12-team 5x5 w/4 OF starters. I have PCA, Grisham, Benge, Carrigg, and Antonacci.  Any of Crews, Heriberto, or Spencer Jones worth adding?
Justin Mason
12:34
I would add Hernandez.
out of questions! send more

Feel like Robbie Ray to Cubs makes too much sense, esp for someone like Pedro Ramriez of Alcantara. It's a sellers market dont see why they need to be lowballed by the Whitesox (wont trade a top 10 prospect)....ROS H2H points reliever ranks (redraft): M Petersen, T Gurrero, J Junis, T Wells, P Blackburn.
Justin Mason
12:35
I could definitely see him end up with the White Sox. Love that my giants are finally selling in a market that will benefit them.

They say flags fly forever, but for me they only really last an offseason before the new year begins. Have you ever gone into a draft with no keepers and a full budget just to win the league? I’m at that point almost and it just feels weird.
Justin Mason
12:36
I have done that and it always hurts a little but that flag does fly forever.

Two NL queries: is Jim Jarvis worth rostering a t would you prefer Kepler or Ortiz? (I fear trades will affect  these 3). And Montgomery or Dotel for saves?
Justin Mason
12:36
I would prefer Ortiz. Montgomery for me
Joel Warger

Vinnie P or Soderstrom at 1B this week? Standard 5x5. Do you like what we've seen from VP since his return from the IL?
Justin Mason
12:38
Soderstrom for me since they are in Sac this week, but I love what we have seen from Pasquantino since he returned. Looks more like himself

Is a cheap/ retainable Harrison $4 for an overpriced Wheeler fair? Does King get traded?
Justin Mason
12:38
I think so
I dont think King gets traded

Daily AL OBP league: Tommy Tanks or Jeff McNeil? (A's only!)
Justin Mason
12:38
Give me Tanks

Romy Gonzalez going to be irrelevant ROS, even in deep AL only?
Justin Mason
12:38
Probably not

You mighta answered this (I joined late) Think C.E.S. keeps this up?
Justin Mason
12:39
seems unlikely given his history, but I would ride the hot streak. Playing time may be an issue once he cools
markbern
12:39
Brandon Young seems to be doing it with smoke and mirrors--but he's doing it. Should I cut him for Kremer or keep riding? Thanks.
Justin Mason
12:39
keep riding

Roster crunch with Olson, Freeman, Chapman and Eldridge. Which of the last two goes based on ROS?
Justin Mason
12:39
wow, thats tough. Chapman for sure. Then I guess Eldridge in a redraft.

NL only 4x4 12 team keeper league. Sitting 8th, have a shot at 5th. Offered L. Garcia $19 for my C. Carroll $37 by the 3rd place team.  Feel like it is not quite enough to get me to bail on my faint chance of a money finish.  Might be able to get a $10 Lawlar and/or a $2 J. Tong tossed in though.  What do you think?
Justin Mason
12:40
I feel like you should get a little more, but do you lose Garcia if he is traded to an AL team? that might make it worth it if so.
