Hey everyone! Sorry about starting late. It is going to be a shorter chat today (30-40 minutes) as I am fighting a bad cold. 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.
Mike
9:28
Soroka, Heaney, Bundy, Flaherty, Castillo, Fulmer ROS
Justin Mason
9:29
I lean Heaney, but there is risk that they limit his innings. I don't know if they can with their lack of depth in the rotation though.
Jammer
9:30
Any hope for Murphy this season? Is snell for him too much given he looks completely hobbled or gamble on the upside ?
Justin Mason
9:30
I think he is a risky gamble. There is upside, but I really prefer Snell going forward.
Kyle
9:30
Rendon, Devers and Andujar who's next 3 years are the brightest?
Justin Mason
9:31
I think that order is right. Though Devers ceiling is higher. There is a risk they move him off third long term though.

Time to drop Cron? Looking at Parra or J.Jay...ughh. 12 tm roto
Justin Mason
9:32
I think I would ride it out with Cron over those guys. He is going to be streaky and you have to be patient. If there are better guys out there in a shallow format, there is no shame in moving on, but Parra and Jay aren't worth it.

In a dynasty pts league with a contending roster and no salaries, should I be trading Ohtani for Verlander?
Justin Mason
9:32
yes
Play to win now. No one remembers who finished with the best looking roster for the future, but they don't forget who wins the league.

LOOOOOOOOL
Vottomatic
9:33
I’m looking to trade some future value to go for it this year in an ON FGPoints league. Lot of interest in my $19 Acuna. What tier OF or MI should I be looking for?
Justin Mason
9:34
I would want a top 20 OF or a top 10 MI. Maybe like a Cain or buy low on Dozier?
Corey
9:34
As bullpens start blowing up (Col, SF) are there any relievers I should target for saves who are not currently closing?
Justin Mason
9:36
Melancon is the easy spec in SF with his contract. Joe Jimenez could get some saves down the line in Detroit if they start to sell pieces. Ottavino is the easy spec in Colorado.
Kevin
9:36
Jon Gray or Andrew Heaney ROS?
Justin Mason
9:36
Heaney. Love Gray's raw skills, but he makes too many mistakes and can't seems to recover when he does.
Matthew
9:37
I need another middle infielder for a deep 5x5 league: K.Marte, Ahmed, Pirella, or Jose M. Fernandez?
Justin Mason
9:37
I would ride Marte right now. He has been hot and I think he has a decent mix of floor and upside with playing time.
Kyle
9:37
Worth holding onto Jordan Hicks thinking he could overtake Norris? 12 team pts prioritizing Ks
Justin Mason
9:38
I honestly don't know that I trust Mike Matheny at all. I love the upside of and he has shown better command, but I don't know if they turn to him full time.
Kevin
9:39
What are your thoughts on Teheran ROS in a h2h points league?
Justin Mason
9:39
Depends on the scoring structure. He is going to have his blowups, but if the league values innings and strikeouts really heavily, he could be worth the occasional implosion.
Bo
9:39
Gattis or Carlos Santana ROS?
Justin Mason
9:39
Gattis
9:40
because of the catcher eligibility.
Kyle
9:40
How do you value you draft picks in trades?
Justin Mason
9:41
Depends on the format and how many (if any) keepers there are and how that affects the draft. Typically though, If I am competing, I don't value picks outside the top 20 or so picks highly.
Matt
9:41
Dynasty roto league. I'm trying to make a run, and have already traded away most of my chips. I'm thinking of trying to build a deal around acquiring a rental Kershaw for a $24 Ohtani keeper (would go to $26, $28, then double). Where abouts does this sit as a foundational idea, and which side, if either needs to add more?
Justin Mason
9:42
I think that is a very fair offer in a keeper. It's a gamble, but the chance that Ohtani could be out until 2020 is scary.
Matt
9:42
Thoughts on Moose's future? He started super hot, and has since cooled. Might he be traded somewhere to give him counting stats and make him more useful?
Justin Mason
9:43
I think he will be moved and will be fine. The Braves could use him and his bat would play fantastically in suntrust.
Matt
9:43
Any chance Ottovino becomes a closer?
Justin Mason
9:44
Sure, but I think that Davis has a fairly long leash considering the contract.
Kyle
9:44
What do you think Jimmy Nelson provides this year?
Justin Mason
9:45
Unfortunately, he has progressed slowly. If the Brewers can stay in it, I think he can be a top 30 pitcher once he is back. If the Brewers fade, then they may elect to not bring him back. I am holding onto my shares just in case.
Vince
9:45
Drop Herrera for Seranthony?
