What’s your read on this Monasterio guy? Never heard of him but whoa he’s on a heater.
Justin Mason
12:20
29 year old super utility guy that was with the brewers a few years back. Doesn't have much power or speed, but has a good hit tool. He will cool off, but you cna ride the hot streak for now.

I've acquired all these pitchers, who've performed well up to this point.  With the playoffs starting in a couple of weeks, could you rank the level of trust in :
Christian Scott
Jackson Jobe
Sean Manaea
Brandon Pfaadt
Nick Lodolo
Dean Kremer
Justin Mason
12:21
Scott, Pfaadt, Jobe, Lodolo, Manaea, Kremer

What's the analysis of Raleigh?  I know once I drop him, he'll catch fire.
Justin Mason
12:23
So, I get a lot of heat for talking so much about contact skills and approach. This is the downside of guys who aren't great at making contact in the zone. The weird part for Raleigh has been the O-Swing. He has swung outside the zone more than any time in his career since after his rookie season. There is nothing in the profile that tells me he is going to turn it around outside of just his career track record.

Carmen M-Pitt-added him to rotation.  I could use a couple of good starts but I’m wondering if I should cut bait. My whip and era are pretty good.  I have Soroka who is due back today.  Switch out?
Justin Mason
12:23
I would rather have Soroka

Jake McCarthy, undrafted free agent fantasy MVP? How is he doing this?
Justin Mason
12:24
He has always had good underlying skills and I think the combination of regular playing time and Coors has unlocked it.

Any word on Wood? They say slight injury but that’s a troublesome area. Which is more likely, back soon or shut down for the season?
Justin Mason
12:25
I think shutdown is more likely. Typically these injuries take 4-6 weeks to return from and that would put him back sometime in early to mid September, but at that point, do they just shut him down?

You don't mess with the Drohan

Hey Justin. 12tm 7x7 roto keeper. I’ve fallen pretty far out of 1st and really need to make up HR, RBI, SB, and BBs with batting, then ratios + QS on pitching. I was offered their non-keeper Y. Alvarez + B. Singer for my J. Wood + L. Henderson, both keepers. I feel like that’s a steep cost for me, and wouldn’t do it if Wood was healthy. But obliques are finicky, and I don’t think they will push him even it is actually “mild.” Is this a flags fly forever trade or am I just getting desperate?
Justin Mason
12:26
If youre pretty far out of first, then I would keep my keepers and start thinking about next year.
Those two are going to be too valuable for the future

Pick 2 keepers for a dynasty league; Bryce Eldridge, Jackson Holliday, Austin Riley, Chase DeLauter
Justin Mason
12:26
Eldridge and DeLauter

good morning form Maine! 12 team mixed H2H, in need of corner ROS.  any dark horse candidates? Bericoto? Tawa? Schanuel?  Endy R and Valencia don't seem to have full time jobs  Thanks Justin
Justin Mason
12:29
Tawa out of that group. He is playing every day and seems to have some big moments for the Dbacks

Is the Mayo Man finally figuring it out?
Justin Mason
12:30
Nah, he is still the guy he has been, but on a little bit of a heater since the break. The underlying skills are still the same
MFG

L. Hicks or H. Ramos ROS?
Justin Mason
12:30
Hicks

I know families used to sometimes host minor league players that were not from the area for which they played and get income from that.  Any thoughts on hosting one of the pillow fighters the next time the championship comes back to your area?  You can maybe even make a few extra bucks if you agree to spar with them.  Just make sure it's BYOP.
Justin Mason
12:30
I wish I had the extra room.

what's Gavin Williams upside ROS? I flipped Jake McCarthy for him and I'm praying for continued dominance.
Justin Mason
12:31
He has SP1 upside.

Tigers are stretching out Drew Anderson as a starter. Is there anything actionable here in AL only W+QS league? Or wait and see how everything shakes out first?
Justin Mason
12:32
I think they are, but it might be a bit before he is going five innings regularly.
Hazmat Corntail
12:32
If I stash Martinez now, I have to drop one of Cano, May, Holmes…who would you drop? (Saves and Holds league)
Justin Mason
12:32
May

Do you think Zac Veen is worth a stash in a redraft league? He has 24 homers in AAA
Justin Mason
12:33
I dont think so. If he was coming up, I think he'd be here already
