Those are all studs worth keeping. If I am trading one, its Skenes since he has struggled a bit as of late.

Bryce Elbridge hitting the wall?
Justin Mason
12:13
I think pitchers are adjusting to him and he needs to readjust back. I think he will be fine but maybe just not as great as he was when he hit the ground running at the callup.
Jor Algenson
12:13
Are you putting Witt in your lineup in your weeklies?
Justin Mason
12:14
I am. I think he will be back on Tuesday

Q Mathews or F Peralta ROS?  Peralta's next 2 starts - @ COL, @ ATH.  I know TB is known for fixing Ps but will Peralta improve this season?
Justin Mason
12:14
I think I lean Mathews here, but I do think Peralta is a nice buy low for the rest of the season moving to Tampa.

My league has had five trades this season...I initiated all five.

What are other tell-tale signs that it is time for someone to find a new league?
Justin Mason
12:16
If youre asking the question, thats the sign. If you want an active trading league, you'll have to find a new one. My big one is are people being active after the All-Star Break? If not then they aren't going to field competitive teams

In a keeper league, how much better is R Suarez than Yesavage ROS and 2027? Is it a massive gap?
Justin Mason
12:17
Long term its Yesavage and its not close. ROS and maybe even just next year, Suarez has a decent size gap.

12-team H2H categories. I picked up both Vladdy Jr and J Ramirez in trades over the last couple of weeks, hoping for a positive regression from them both before and going into the playoffs.  What do you see from these guys ROS, who've been pretty disappointing so far?
Justin Mason
12:20
I think J-Ram will be a stud rest of the way. Vladdy is a weird one to project. Still hits the ball hard and making the most contact of his career, but too much of it is on the ground. I want to believe and I would have bought low too.

Does Franklin Arias potentially getting traded affect when he will be called up?
Justin Mason
12:20
I dont think he's traded, but if he was, I think he is coming up after Sept 1.

RE: Cantillo, even if not starting his 2-step, would you hold him over Roupp or Bennett? I picked up Wesneski too, but I think he and one of these other 3 have to go
Justin Mason
12:21
I think I would drop him over them.

What should I do with Augustin Ramirez in dynasty?  Is he a drop or a hold?
Justin Mason
12:22
I think I would hold. I still believe in the offensive upside.
GatorKen
12:22
I have AAAA guys like H Kim and T Callihan in minors slots on my NL only dynasty team.  Do I hold these guys or dump for prospects?
Justin Mason
12:22
dump

In a 16 team keeper league, would you trade a first round jose ramirez for a last round konnor griffin? Im on the cust of the playoffs but am looking more towards the future I'd say
Justin Mason
12:22
yes, I would.
out of questions! keep them coming!

Smarter move - the Braves picking up Lane Thomas on the chance they may have to face Snell, Skubal, Wrobleski, T Scott etc. in the playoffs, or me for waiting on trading for Bryan Baker until after the deadline, that way the Rays don't skunk me by trading for a closer or co-closer if I made the deal right now?
Justin Mason
12:23
I dont think the Rays are going to do that, but its always smart to hedge a little.
Lane Thomas to the Braves seems like a perfect fit tbh

Is Grant Taylor the closer on the south side for the rest of the season?
Justin Mason
12:23
I think so
Hazmat Corntail

Am I crazy for giving Spencer Jones another chance? I feel like I’m playing out the old adage…
Justin Mason
12:24
Probably but I see the appeal.
Greg Pope
12:24
Best Northern California closer option...Erik Miller or Hogan Harris? Or is my RP2 situation as bad as the wild fires there?
Justin Mason
12:24
Miller
Adell to the Guardians and Ward to the Mariners!

Thoughts on Arraez at 2B and Bryce back to the OF
Justin Mason
12:25
Im surprised they are going to move half of their lineup to different positions for Arraez seems a bit crazy to do at this point in the season. I hope it works for them, but as a Giants fan, I was happy with the return.

Blind auction in a salary cap league on Kade Anderson if/when he comes up. But you have to keep him for that salary next year (whatever you spend on him doesn't matter for this year). $50 salary cap, AL only 10 team roto. What would you bid on him?
