When do I commit to dropping Cags this week. H2H keep-4 league where he would maybe be my fourth (I have other options) but if I need the pot I'll have to move on. What should be the last straw to dump him. 16 tm h2h in playoff finals.
Justin Mason

I really love him long term so I would have a hard time dropping him if he is a potential keeper for me.

Any largely available SP streamers this week that you would 100% avoid? I'm in the finals of H2H this week and wanna avoid landmines.
Justin Mason
12:12
ok, so the way I approach this is by looking at matchups. I am attacking teams the next two weeks. Looking at the bottom teams that are rolling out AA lineups (I'm looking at you San Francisco). Obviously, I am not streaming terrible pitchers, but matchups are always the best thing to look at for streaming but especially this late in the season.

Quantrill has been pitching well.  However Schumaker said that he was working through back tightness.  Enough worry to drop him for Pallante?  Javier?  Thank you.
Justin Mason
12:13
I would be ok dropping him for Pallante

I picked up Mesa and forgot about all the lefties. Keep or swap out for Bateman, Bazzana, Amador, C. Smith or Jac?
Justin Mason
12:13
Jac for me

Just need to vent: both Sheehan and Painter losing their wins IN THE NINTH made me want to tear my head off. Fantasy baseball is totally healthy and fun
Justin Mason
12:13
it is rough this time of year especially when a win or two can make a massive difference

Hi Justin, do you think Lazaro Montes, Hector Rodriguez and Josue DePaula have everyday jobs next season. Trying to determine if they are worth keeping. Thanks!
Justin Mason
12:14
I think they all will be given shots. De Paula will depend on how he hits.

What do you make of Brooks Lee heading into next year? The uptick in power was nice, but he didn’t seem to make many improvements across the board, making it seem unlikely he’ll repeat. The SS eligibility is nice though…
Justin Mason
12:15
I dont think the power is very legit. Just doesn't strike the ball hard enough consistently. I would expect that to come down. he could honestly have a marsee type disappointment next year as it looks like a similar profile. This is coming from someone that was high on Lee coming into this season.
Peter Castro

Do you think that Justin Martinez closes for the DBacks next season?
Justin Mason
12:15
I do

Playoff Week #1 with standard 5x5 scoring categories!  I need 8 starting pitchers from the following for this week: Cease, Detmers, Woo, Jared Jones, Framber Valdez, Bibee, Sheehan, Griffin, Burke, Dustin May, Cantillo, and Cristian Javier.  Your ranking help is much appreciated!
Justin Mason
12:16
Cease, Detmers, Woo, Jones, Sheehan, Valdez, Bibee, Javier

What are your thoughts on picking up Reynaldo Lopez vs someone like Bassitt hound in a two week H2H final?  Lopez has an outside shot at three starts (@CHC/vsCIN/@MIA) with the Miami game the last day of the year.  I like that potential most about him, but it's also like playing with a stick of dynamite with the ratios, and if he loses that last day it sort of defeats the purpose.
Justin Mason
12:17
I think it is worth the risk. Lopez probably isnt a starter in the playoffs so he could actually just go five and help keep the bullpen rested on that last day.

Riley or Burger for this week?
Justin Mason

Burger

Redraft format...drop either/both McLain (CIN)/C Montgomery (CWS) for either/both Mesa (TB)/M Clark (DET)?
Justin Mason
12:18
I am ok with both drops
Hazmat Corntail

How would you assess Butler’s season? Promising second half or is he bound to disappoint us again?
Justin Mason
12:19
ok, so I am somewhat intrigued here. He is making more in zone contact and hitting the ball hard consistently. The park will help for next year again. We have seen these underlying skill changes before and then seen them disappear, but depending on the price, I might be in next year.
Hazmat Corntail

Can we finally be done with Jordan Romano? SAGNOF is a thing, but when it comes to that he seems to define “butthis face”
Justin Mason
12:20
yeah

dang, realized I might have called you Jason - having Sporer Syndrome with all y’all’s J-named colleagues
Justin Mason
12:20
I dont fret about that atp lol. I have a twin brother named Josh so I have spent my life getting called the wrong name

Hey Jason, who do you like for a last starting hitter for this week, mostly trying to maintain a .005 lead in Avg: with Jonah Cox adding 2B I had him penciled in to replace an underperforming Genao at MI. But rotowire lmk Story has a hit in 12 of 13 since returning. Maybe I start Cox and Story and bench Durbin (currently UT, but that was from when I was trying to gain in SB)
Justin Mason
12:20
oh there it is lol
12:21
I think Story and Cox is the right answer here

Bassitt (@ NYM, TOR) or Warren (@ AZ, BAL)?
Justin Mason
12:21
Warren
Wayne Kiger

Playoff time. H2H points, which two to start this week:  Skenes, Pivetta, Cease or Gilbert? Thank you.
Justin Mason
12:21
Cease and Gilbert

On a scale of 1-10, how successful was DeLauter’s rookie year? Any particular areas you could see improvement in next year?
Justin Mason
12:23
I will give it an eight. yes, 14/10 isnt winning any leagues, but he makes a lot of contact and hits the ball really hard. A small tweak to the launch angle and he is a potential star.
