Hey everyone! Let’s have some fun. I am going to try and skip around to answer a variety of questions today, so I am not answer multiple questions about the same players. Please give me format and size of leagues for context. Just a reminder that I will answer as many questions as I can, but please don’t repeat questions. If I can’t get to your questions then hit me up on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008744507752 or on twitter @justinmasonfwfb.

Where am I?

9:00

Should I just give up and drop Willie Calhoun already?

Justin Mason

9:00

I am still holding tight, but it is hard to rationalize it.

Michael

12 team league (non-save), been using ottavino to help ratios. don't have an open DL slot, so should I hold him, eating a roster spot, or drop for someone like tepera, e-rod, or caleb smith?

Justin Mason

9:01

That's tough. He has been so valuable, but obliques can be tricky. I would drop for E-Rod

Sandy Kazmir

9:01

Are the TB Rays still garbage?

Justin Mason

9:02

Maybe...

14 team dynasty points league - Would you trade Robles for Nola? Trying to win this year. Thanks!

Justin Mason

9:02

YES! Always win now if you can

Hi justin, In a 14 team dynasty what do I do with Giolito - he's killing me I fear cutting him might make me very very sad in a couple of years. Any could suggestions for replacements?

Justin Mason

9:03

I would drop him at this point. Better to win now and regret him later than lose because of him.

9:03

Would you sell Godley/Lindor for Verlander/Simmons in an 18 team keeper points league?

Justin Mason

9:03

I would not.

Mr. Gibby

9:03

You starting Kyle Gibson today in a QS league if you don't need starts?

Justin Mason

9:03

He was my streaming pick in the Roto Riteup

Jake Junis Priest

9:03

Any interest in Frankie Montas for OAK?

Justin Mason

9:04

A little. I wrote him up in at Fantasy Alarm yesterday. While the control was decent, the command was spotty. Interesting guy due to prospect pedigree and velo, but more of a deeper league play right now.

Big Tuna

9:04

Eduardo Nunez droppable in 12 tm?

Justin Mason

9:04

Yes.

Chase

9:04

You buying on Max Muncy?

Justin Mason

9:05

In the short term I am. Long-term, I think the dodgers address 2B if they are competing at the deadline.

Jim Bob

9:05

You starting Michael Fulmer tonight in a 12 team roto? 180 start limit and I'm ahead of the pace already. Thank you!

Justin Mason

9:05

I am.

Big Tuna

9:05

How much are you bidding on Bieber? Rather him or Soroka ROS?

Justin Mason

9:06

Not more than 5% of remaining FAAB. I like his profile as a good MLB pitcher. Don't know that it translates to fantasy and I don't know if his rotation spot is very safe. I am taking the shot on him in deeper formats, but not dropping Soroka for him.

Jim Bob

9:06

Marwin Gonzalez or Josh Harrison in a 12 team roto? Thank you!

Justin Mason

9:06

Harrison

Mr. Gibby

9:06

When Eaton and/or Pollock come off the DL, who are you dropping of: SOler, Aguilar, Alonso, Adujar, Franco?

Justin Mason

9:07

Alonso and Aguilar

Big Tuna

9:07

I know it’s hard in a vacuum but I’m looking to sell high on Heaney in an OPS league, what type of bat could I realistically expect back? Puig? Alonso? Moose? Brantley?

Justin Mason

9:08

I think you might be able to get any of those. Start with your favorite and work your way down. Don't compromise too much on value just to move him. I love Heaney.

Patty V

9:08

Caleb Smith's been looking great against bad offenses, do you think he will be viable in 12-team Std Roto?

Justin Mason

9:08

I don't think he will be all year, but ride him while he is hot.

Gore

9:08

Hypothetical: If Ohtani had SS eligibility as well, would he be the most valuable fantasy player and how much would you pay for him in a rest of season auction?

Justin Mason

9:09

If you can use him in daily lineups, he would be extremely valuable. Most valuable? I don't think so, but we are talking about a potential first round pick next year in many formats.

Sum

9:09

thanks for chatting, Justin! 10-team mixed league H2H. is Sean Manaea officially streamable if he doesn't dominate TB tomorrow? (is he already?)

Justin Mason

9:09

He is already IMO

Baloo

9:09

Austin Meadows or Juan Soto?

Justin Mason

9:09

For this year, Meadows. For the future, Soto
