10 team 5x5 Pivetta over Erod, Soroka or godley?

Justin Mason

1:03

yes

Craig

1:03

Sell high on Joc Pederson? Or does he keep it up?

Justin Mason

1:04

I think he can keep it up to an extent, but I would also sell high on him if I could get a good deal.

Craig

1:04

Marco Gonzales or Caleb Smith in a dynasty?

Justin Mason

1:04

Marco

Bleepbloop

Are you worried about Stripling moving back to the Bullpen or losing starts ROS or In future years for dynasty?

Justin Mason

1:04

Not rest of the season. Maybe in dynasty, but play for now.

1:04

Think Daniel Murphy is fully deployable in leagues now? I'd really like to drop Kinsler, despite his recent heroics at the plate.

Justin Mason

1:05

yes

Rick

Keeper league: drop Soto or Puig when Cespedes comes back?

Justin Mason

1:05

Puig.

John

1:05

Jon Gray's FIP is 3.17...strand rate is down...BABIP is HIGH...he a big bounce back candidate?

Justin Mason

1:05

He is, but he still is just too hittable especially at home. Makes too many mistakes that get crushed. Love the talent, but is inconsistent.

Larry Hutz

1:05

Would you flip Aguilar for Schoop? Is Schoop going to recover to at least 2016 levels?

Justin Mason

1:06

I have no problem doing that. I think we are seeing the lower end of Schoop's range of outcomes right now.

Bleepbloop

1:06

Trying to trade saves for starters. 10 tm 6x6 QS dynasty league, I have Jansen and Hand, how high could I reasonably target? Carrasco for Jansen?

Justin Mason

1:06

I think that is about right.

Ozzie Ozzie Albies Free

1:06

Shallow ten team roto, is it time to sell high on Albies and Benetendi or hold and just hope it’s their breakout years.

Justin Mason

1:06

I am holding unless I get a monster offer.

Little Chicken

1:07

Justin, please tell us a fun fact about yourself.

Justin Mason

1:07

I am clean and sober. I haven't had a drink in over 13 years.

tom

1:07

i think you give awful advice personally, justin....no offense

Justin Mason

1:08

You sound like my wife.

Bleepbloop

How much stock do you put in baseball savant xwoba?

Justin Mason

1:09

I put a little. I also think maybe it is a bit overused as people try to come up with ways to predict what will happen. All stats and tools are just a small part of the picture. Put them together and you learn more.

Do you believe in Williamson's swing changes? SSS for sure, but the results have been a bit underwhelming, he has proven anything.

Justin Mason

1:09

I do believe in them. I don't know that he is ever a star, but I think he can be an MLB regular.

dingbat

1:10

Will Chance Adams get a shot in the Yankees rotation? Or does he need to be traded for that to happen?

Justin Mason

1:10

I think he needs to be traded. Hasn't helped himself though so far.

Frank

1:10

Hey Justin. I am in first place but need saves and have good SP with Soroka, Castillo (gulp), MadBum, Pivetta, Wacha and Mikolas with Stras, Darvish and Ryu in my DL. I can likely trade Mikolas for a closer to a rebuilding team (Kelley, Vasquez or Box) as I got Miko for $3 in our auction. Do you like that idea or am I exposing myself to too much risk with those injured SPs and inconsistency from those closers thus far.

Justin Mason

1:11

No, I think that is fine to do. Boxberger has been very safe so far. Vasquez has that job as long as he is healthy.

Jonny

1:11

Flip Rhys Hoskins or Carlos Martinez for Jose Berrios?

Justin Mason

1:12

I ranked C-Mart a couple spots above Berrios on our most recent pod. I did trade CMart for Hoskins in Tout though.

Stevie

1:12

Seth Lugo - what do you think?

Justin Mason

1:13

I really like his stuff, but I don't trust the Mets. I think he is going to be in the rotation most of the season, but he could get bounced around annoyingly.

Uncle Mork

1:13

Does Kiermaier play every day when he returns?

Justin Mason

1:13

yes

Larry Hutz

1:13

You holding on to Romero in dynasty for a $1? Would you drop for Hector Rondon if you needed saves?

Justin Mason

1:13

If that helps me win now, I would do it.
