Hey everyone! Let’s have a great chat today! 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.

How are feeling about Posey ROS? I acquired him for basically nothing and he surely has to be a better option than Zunino, whom I inherited.
Justin Mason
9:01
I don't know that the power ever comes back, but at worst he is a high average guy in the middle of an ok lineup which with the state of catcher right now has a lot of value.
Brian

Never heard Cole Calhoun and upside in the same podcast before
Justin Mason
9:02
Me neither lol

I have Puig on the DL and picked up Piscotty to replace him for the time being. However, with Piscotty as hot as he is, is there any point to holding Puig?
Justin Mason
9:03
I might try to. Puig has the greater upside and there was a rumor out there today that the Dodgers may look to trade him in a Zack Britton deal to help keep them under the luxury tax threshold. He could be awesome in Camden.

What are your expectations for Ervin Santana coming back this or next week? I really need Ws and QS, and I’m also trying to make a come back in Saves. Would you drop any of these guys: Godley, Musgrove, Suarez, Castillo, Weaver, Will Smith, Yates, Strop. Also have Ryu coming back soon.
Justin Mason
9:05
I honestly don't know what to expect. He has out pitched his underlying metrics the last couple of seasons and has not had great reports on his rehab. The Twins are pretty bad, but the defense behind him is good. I wouldn't mind dropping Will Smith for him just in case he can start strong off of the DL. It is a bad division, so there may be some cheap wins

Due to injury, I only have Nola, Heaney, Price, and D.Rodriguez active in my 12 tm roto league. The best waiver arms are T. Anderson, Fiers, LeBlanc, Eovaldi, Stroman. Would you roster any or just wait out the C-Mart and Fulmer injuries? I’d have to drop Soroka or a bench bat like JBJ or Ketel.
Justin Mason
9:06
I would grab stroman or eovaldi. Eovaldi could be traded and has actually pitched well except for two starts this year. Can't field just four starters and hope to not give up ground in wins and ks
Joe Bags

Your thoughts on Pivetta's fantasy value?  (personally in a 5x5 12 team).  Would you hold or pick up a guy like Cahill?
Justin Mason
9:07
Definitely hold. I believe in the skills and Cahill isn't exciting enough for me to cut bait.

I have Nola, Bellinger, HOskins currently as my keepers in a 16tm H2H keep 3 league. My team is out of it and I was considering targeting Freeman, is he that big of an upgrade to either of my bats tho?
Justin Mason
9:07
Yes. Freeman is a stud. Both Hoskins and Bellinger are very good young players, but not in the same league as Freeman.
BigTuna
9:08
Any players you find yourself rostering in advance of the deadline in hopes of a situation change?
Justin Mason
9:08
Mosylt just spec closers. Jimenez, Givens, Lorenzen, Mton, Hicks etc
AKA22
9:09
Strasburg worth buying right now?
Justin Mason
9:09
I wouldn't personally. Injury risk is always there and now that he is back, owners will want full price.

Is Cano worth a pick up and hold as a bench player? I'm making the playoffs this year, and considering dropping him for an upside SP like Rodon or Musgrove
Justin Mason
9:10
For sure. Rodon likely gets shut down. Cano could be a difference maker and likely picks up 1B eligibility fairly quickly.
Matt S
9:10
Looking to add 1 more starter in a 10 team H2H: looking ahead to the playoffs.  I have depth at SP so I can afford to be judicious in when I start him.  Who would you add from Marcus Stroman, Junior Guerra, Derek Rodriguez?
Justin Mason
9:10
Stroman
Gabe
9:11
Are there any deep league 1Bs that can be top 12 ROS?
Justin Mason
9:11
Have to give me more context or some idea of what kind of players are available.
BigTuna
9:11
I traded Manaea for Jake Lamb in a 12 tm OPS league, but Lamb has been very quiet. Do you have faith ROS or would you move on?
Justin Mason
9:12
I don't have much faith right now. Platoon player that has been victimized by the humidor in Chase.
Matt S
9:12
Start Guerra tonight vs the Nats?
Justin Mason
9:12
no
Brian
9:12
Why doesn’t Almora get more hype?  Young, hitting .320.....what am I missing here?
Justin Mason
9:14
Short side platoon guy and defensive replacement. Mostly a deeper mixed league guy because of playing time and lack of power and speed contributions, but  I like him in those leagues.
Where am I?
9:14
It's time to just drop Cespedes, right?
Justin Mason
9:14
If your DL is filled with talent, then I can see it in a shallower format.
Greg
9:14
With Realmuto not really running this year, who would you take for the second half, Realmuto or Posey?
Justin Mason
9:14
Realmuto
A Proposal
9:14
Rebuilding. 12-Team Dynasty. Standard Scoring. H2H. Weekly. Keep 13. Any recommended trade targets for my Yadier Molina?
Justin Mason
9:15
Need more context. 2 catcher or 1? What position?
Boring Boring Bro Dullard
9:15
Is Mike Fiers for real? Should he be got?
Justin Mason
9:15
no
BIg Joey
9:15
Who should be my SS for the ROS (league counts OBP and SLG too): Chris Taylor, A. Simmons, Elvis Andrus?
