quintana
but it is closer than it should be.

I know before the season y'all were talking about The Glob, but I see a new glob this season: young, unheralded call-up pitchers. How do you differentiate between guys like Caleb Smith, Soroka, Suarez, Peralta, Barria, Eflin, Koch, Romero, guys like that? Guys who could provide strong value to pitching needy teams if they stay in the majors, but without the pedigree of a guy like Buehler.
Justin Mason
9:49
Good question. I tend to watch a lot of these guys starts and then look at the underlying numbers to see who stands out. One of the reasons I am not high on Smith or Peralta is I don't believe in their stuff whereas Soroka has great stuff and underlying numbers.
Joe
9:50
Think Joe Bats has anything left in the tank?  He keeps himself in as good of shape as some older sluggers that continued producing (Cruz, Papi), but I can't explain last years decline since there was no injury.
Justin Mason
9:50
It is decline in skills. Bat is slower and he has a hard time getting around on certain pitches. Eye is still there, but bat isn't what it was.
Big Tuna

Are you holding Dustin Fowler in 12 tm leagues? I have him and Margot not hitting or running
Justin Mason
9:51
Fowler has been up for like five games. Give him time.
Tom
9:51
What the heck happened to Chapman? Is he really just a .230 hitter?
Justin Mason
9:51
I think he will fluctuate between .230-.260, but you have to be patient with him. The A's will be because he plays great def
Jeff
9:52
Around where do you rank Mahle ROS? How much higher in a dynasty format?
Justin Mason
9:52
like top 60-70. Not a big fan.
Helpski!
9:52
How do you value Morton going forward? Top 20 SP, over/under? Im in a 12 team standard roto, been offered Sano + Morton for Ozuna + Devers, my team is short on SP but has OF/CI to spare.
Justin Mason
9:52
I think I would want a bit more than that. Especially with Morton's health history.
Ryno

16 tm, keep 3. Trade my Donaldson for his Dozier? I lost DJ and have no other 2B rostered (and waiver is thin). I have Shaw to plug in at 3B. Look like similar players, am I right?
Justin Mason
9:53
Yeah, I would do that if I needed the 2B
Helpski!
9:53
Ozuna or Devers for Hand sound fair? 12 team roto
Justin Mason
9:53
If I really needed the saves, but I would aim a bit higher because there is a chance Hand gets traded and is no longer a closer.

Start Barria in Anaheim tonight?
Justin Mason
9:53
nah
Gerge
9:53
can you rank Franco Shaw Longoria ROS? Got to drop one.
Justin Mason
9:54
Shaw, Longo, Franco
HappyFunBall
9:54
Sell Gallo for Darvish?  Or is there something really wrong with Yu ?
Justin Mason
9:54
I think he will turn it around.n
Razor Ramon
9:54
What's up with Jeff Samardzija? He's been awful.
Justin Mason
9:54
Still shaking off the rust from missing the end of spring and being rushed back a bit. Give it another start before you begin to panic
Willie Calhoun
9:55
when is super 2?
Justin Mason
9:55
Like a week ago I believe willy.
