Is there any reason to hold on to Bo Bichette at this point? No homers or steals in a month, awful lineup around him... I'm leaning toward drop the next time I have to make a move.
Justin Mason
12:01
Depends on the depth of your league, but if you  have an enticing option to pick up for him, I don't mind dropping in shallower formats.

Manaea, Wesneski appear to be 2-starts SPs this week - not mentioned on Podcast.  Manaea @CLE, @PIT and Wesneski TOR, @ SF - which do you prefer?
Justin Mason
12:01
I think I would go Wesneski. Chance that Manaea could be moved today and lose that 2-Start

shallow H2H points league - would you give up Nolan McLean to get Brice Turang?
Justin Mason
12:02
If I needed the hitter I could

Hunting for wins...in my league, Drohan has a 2-step - v Pit, @ SD. I have an open spot. Worthy of a waiver claim for a one week stream?
Justin Mason
12:02
absolutely. Drohan has been great since entering the rotation. He should be rostered in all formats.
AU86
12:02
Replace J Dominguez with Spencer Jones in redraft?
Justin Mason
12:03
I dont I would. I still believe in Jasson over Jones talent-wise
Matt

In second place in our league, though with a small chance to win. I decided to go ahead and try anyway. With Mead and Jung out, I traded Walcott/R.Suarez for Machado. (I have Elly and Suarez was just a depth piece for a very good rotation). Needed closers so I traded Sproat for Jansen and M. Clark for Pagan. Best I could do in this league. How much should I hate myself right now, especially because of that last one?
Justin Mason
12:04
I am ok with it considering you are playing to win right now, but that one will hurt long term.
Jon Tayler
12:04
Am I better off sticking with Cal Raleigh through the final two months or playing C roulette? Best FA options are Yainer Diaz, Francisco Alvarez and Dalton Rushing (OBP roto league)
Justin Mason
12:06
Hate to say it, but I would drop him for Alvarez at this point.
AU86
12:06
Who will DET call up first - R Ryan or Jobe?  expect both to be rotation soon?
Justin Mason
12:06
I think Ryan is up first once hes healthy.
prbaseball
12:06
is Erik Miller an actual thing?
Justin Mason
12:06
Not really, but hes the best the Giants have so rest of the way, he is going to get saves.
ajstopes

Logjam at 2B and 3B - should I keep riding with Altuve and Willi Castro or would Nasim Nunez, Karros, Eugenio Suarez, Arenado, or Colt Keith?
Justin Mason
12:07
Give me Nunez and Suarez here

Hey Justin, am I crazy to think about benching Hunter Brown vs Toronto this week for a 2-start Cantillo (vs NYM, @CHW)? I think the schedule shifted so Cantillo didn't make it into your pod discussion with Paul. Hunter has 2 duds in his last 5 and I'm not sure he's fully healthy. If I don't start Cantillo, does that mean my 12-tm 5x5 1st place team just doesn't have room for him?
Justin Mason
12:07
I am still rolling with Brown here.
Paul
12:07
12-team, H2H categories, I have a waiver move of dropping Luis Lara to pick up Dominic Canzone.  Worth the waiver move?
Justin Mason
12:07
yes it is
AU86
12:07
Expectations for M Clark ROS?  Impactful in OBP and SB?  Drop G Torres or J Dominguez for him?
Justin Mason
12:08
I would drop either for Clark. He probably has the highest upside of any waiver player rest of the way. He should draw a ton of walks and rack up SBs. The power is legit too but still developing some.
AU86
12:08
Need to drop RP (Saves+Holds with K/9) format - Speier, Zeferjahn, or  M Montgomery?
Justin Mason
12:09
Probably Zeferjahn
AU86
12:09
expect Mize to be dealt before 6p today?
Justin Mason
12:09
I do. I would be very surprised if he isnt dealt before the deadline today.
Mike
12:09
Who is the odd man out in the LAD rotation?
Justin Mason
12:10
Sheehan
Mike
12:10
Scraping the bottle of the barrel here, but would you take Gleyber over E. Duran or Edman in a 12 tm h2h league? Other options would be Grissom or Rengifo
Justin Mason
12:10
I am probably going Duran
Mike
12:10
Do you see Kade getting the call this week?
Justin Mason
12:10
No, I dont think they start his clock.

Hi Justin, thanks for doing this. In a 5 x 5 redraft 12-team 5-OF league, can Esmerlyn be safely churned back to the wire to pick up some pitching. Or might I miss another heater or two somewhere down the road this season? Seems like regression (or pitchers figuring him out) has arrived. Much appreciated!
Justin Mason
12:10
yeah, he can head back to the wire, but always have him on your watch list.

I’m in a 10-team keeper league. Teams can keep up to 5 players. I think I reasonably have 6 strong keeper candidates: Corbin Carroll, Julio Rodriguez, Kyle Schwarber, and Jackson Chourio, as well as Paul Skenes and Christopher Sanchez. The league has some modified scoring categories (conventional offense plus OBP and XBH; conventional pitching but with QS instead of wins plus WHIP and k//9). Does one of my 6 keepers stand out as an aberration? Should be trying to trade one “keeper” to gain depth and “win now” (I’m in 4th place) instead of holding on to a stud I can’t keep?
