Hey everyone! Let’s have a great chat today! Going to be a shorter chat today (30-40 minutes) because I have an interview set up for a little while with an MLB pitcher for the FWFB podcast. 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.

Shallow ten teamer. I have Edwin, Jose Martinez, Smoak and Brandon Belt.  I’m slipping in my power categories but also need help in Average.  Who should be my primary 1B and who should slot into my UTIL?
Justin Mason
9:00
Edwin and Belt
Tony Womack

My Baez for his Votto? Dynasty forever
Justin Mason
9:00
nah
Soriano
9:00
Any reason that I should not pick up Roberto Osuna in dynasty.
Justin Mason
9:00
Nope go right ahead

Is Justin Bour worth dropping for Kyle Tucker in a 12-tm OBP/SLG league? Have Jose Martinez at 1B
Justin Mason
9:00
yes

So who got Machado?
Justin Mason
9:01
My sources are telling me it's the Dodgers. FYI: I don't have sources, just schizophrenia

Should I be at all worried about Kluber's whiff rate declining this year?
Justin Mason
9:01
I am not worried at all about Kluber.

How long to hold Giles in AL Only, 3 man bench?
Justin Mason
9:02
Not much longer
Raider
9:02
who is drafted higher next year, bellinger or Eugenio suarez?
Justin Mason
9:02
Bellinger based solely on upside and disrespect

Hey Justin 12 team mixer redraft:   got offered Ed Escobar for Mike Clevinger. could use Escobar instead of Brandon Crawford at MI but my pitching staff isnt that deep. Should I ask for more or is that fair?
Justin Mason
9:02
I would want more personally. I really like clevinger
Maples

AJ Pollock or Christian Yelich in a dynasty points league?
Justin Mason
9:03
Yelich
Booney
9:03
Any AL non-closers who have a chance to pick up saves in the 2nd half?
Justin Mason
9:03
TRivino, Hildenberger, Givens (if both Britton and Brach are traded.)
Matt
9:04
12-team H2H, mandatory keep 4. Would you trade a 5th round pick (which is essentially the first round...but lesser talent) for someone of the Hoskins/Aguilar caliber? I feel like that's a bit much.
Justin Mason
9:04
That is tough. Probably not, but Hoskins is tempting.
Micah
9:05
Who are your favorite buy lows/stashes for the second half? Deep 12-team roto league for players who may be available to stash.
Justin Mason
9:06
Dozier, Robbie Ray, Pham, Pivetta, Chris Taylor,
Add Joe Jimene to that closer question for AL stashes
Ozzie Ozzie Albies Free
9:06
Is Pham salvageable? Three Of spots and I have JDM, Jose Mart, and Billy Ham.  In need steals so BHam is stuck there.  Is Pham anywhere remotely close enough to play over Jose?
Justin Mason
9:07
Pham is a launch angle adjustment away from crushing it. I would take him over Martinez

How much would Machado's value in a redraft league change if he went to the Dodgers or Phillies?
Justin Mason
9:07
I don't think it changes dramatically. Some added runs and RBI, but its not like he has been great already.
Turgid
9:07
Do you believe in Freddy Peralta?
Justin Mason
9:08
I do a little. Still worried there will be the occasional blowups that are hard to predict, but he has a rotation spot on lock until the Brewers trade for someone.

i doubt the mets trade degrom but wouldn't mil make a good partner?  hiura/santana/hader for degrom/familia?  is that too much?
Justin Mason
9:09
They make a great partner, but I don't think they will move Huira or Hader honestly. Still could put together a really nice package. It is really in the Mets court if they want to move him. They should, but METS, so who knows.

Is Ryan Braun falling off a cliff or do you expect some up and down, this year and the next couple? If he returns from the DL and gets playtime but doesn't hit the ground running, is he a deep league cut or a hold?
Justin Mason
9:12
I think it may be the end of the line for Braun. I mean, where does he even get the playing time? They really going to bench Thames full time or Aguilar after what he has done?
