Is Buehler a frontline starter dynasty wise?

Justin Mason

9:13

Not yet, but soon.

John

How does the injury to Victor Robles change his short term/long term outlook? Nats outfield looks crowded

Justin Mason

9:13

I think he could get moved as part of a trade. Long term he will be fine. Needs a change of scenery for this year however.

Greg

9:14

After a few down seasons I started a full rebuild last year in a 16-team OPS, Keep Forever dynasty. I am ready to compete next year but need to figure out my outfield situation. I have acquired Acuna, Juan Soto, and Stanton in the rebuild to add to Judge and Kyle Tucker. I cant take up 5 of my 12 keeper spots on outfielders. Who gets moved for upgrades elsewhere?

Justin Mason

9:15

I think I am moving Soto or Tucker. Both at the height of their values so you should be able to get a lot for them in a dynasty league.

Hobbs

9:15

Thoughts on Stripling? I'm in 1st right now in 12tm roto dynasty. Would you move L. Castillo and D. German or Loasigia for Stripling?

Justin Mason

9:15

I would move all of them for stripling right now.

John

9:15

Mitch Keller up this year? If so, what can we expect?

Justin Mason

9:16

I don't think he is up before September. The Pirates are falling out of it and they won't want to start any clocks.

Sonny

9:16

Nimmo controllable through 2019 or Aaron Hicks rental? In 1st place and trying to lock down trophy

Justin Mason

9:17

Depends on depth of league. Deeper league I lean Nimmo because of health. Shallower format, I want hicks for upside and team around him.

Rasta

9:17

How viable is Brandon Crawford in a 12 teamer with no MI?

Justin Mason

9:17

Not super long term. He has been great, but also getting super lucky. Should regress in the second half.

Orange

9:17

Good morning Justin. I just traded for Dozier, hoping for some (more) 2nd half magic. Are you confident in his ability to have a strong ROS?

Justin Mason

9:18

I am, especially if he gets moved to the loser of the Machado sweepstakes. Would look great in MLW or NYY

Dylan

9:18

Bieber/Weaver for Stras in a QS keeper league, which side you got?

Justin Mason

9:18

Stras

Matt D

9:18

Chase Anderson's comical combo of 2.14 WHIP and 0 ERA last night vs. Miami has me dying to know what to expect the rest of the year.

Justin Mason

9:18

Moments of magic and moments of pure evil

Matt

9:18

12-Team Mandatory keep 4, H2H 6x6. I recently traded Harper for J Ramirez (have him at 2B, and have Suarez at 3B). I have Albies, Guriel, M Chapman to fill 2 Util spots. Do you trade Albies (plus a late round pick) for T Turner? I do need some steals...

Justin Mason

9:18

I am pod with that.

9:19

Ichiro

9:19

How do you see Francisco Mejia panning out? Traded away by Indians since he doesn't want to play OF and they don't have room for him at C? You believe in the hype?

Justin Mason

9:19

I do not. He is the reason why you should not read as much into traditional prospect scouting. His bat doesn't play anywhere but catcher in fantasy and I don't think he sticks there.

John

9:19

Are Trevor Story's speed and avg going to stay? He is a potential monster if so...

Justin Mason

9:20

No reason to think they can't. As long as he doesn't hit below the Mendoza line or get hurt, he's playing

Orange

9:20

Is Derek "skinny" Rodriguez worth holding on to in 16-t league? I'm not really buying him...

Justin Mason

9:20

I think long term, he is a reliever, but right now he has a rotation spot in the biggest park in baseball with a great defense behind him.

Finding Nimmo

9:21

Who is the real Nimmo? Somewhere between the insane hot streak and this slump?

Justin Mason

9:21

Definitely in between. I think the power was a fluke, but he should hit for average and enough power to be interesting. It is all about playing time. Will he continue to get full time ABs when the Mets are healthy? Don't trust the Mets. Ever.

Rod Beck

9:22

Is Victor Arano the guy to own in terms of a long term closer for the Phillies?

Justin Mason

9:22

I don't think Gabe Kapler believes in a long term closer

Matt

9:22

What are your thoughts on Tyler Anderson? K% in line with previous years...Home/Road splits seem to indicate the Coors effect. Has shown potential in last two season...he worth a shot?

Justin Mason

9:22

More of a streamer because of Coors.

Don

9:22

My deGrom for his Freeman in a 15-team mixed league - comparable value? I lead in ERA, but I'm near the bottom in RBI and behind in BA with opportunity to make up ground.

Justin Mason

9:22

Yeah, I am fine with that.

Kevin

9:22

Would you trade for Robbie Ray as a buy low? Or are you staying away from his HR/FB and BB%

Justin Mason

9:23

I am a sucker for his upside. I may end up dying on that hill, but I would buy

New Bork

9:23

Would you trade Nola for Stanton straight-up in a keeper league with standard stats and no price tag on either?
