Thoughts on Hampson callup? 10tm relevant?
Justin Mason
9:27
If Lemaheiu's injury is more serious than yes Hampson is relevant in all formats.

How does the move to SD affect Mejia’s stock?
Justin Mason
9:29
I think it hurts him long term. His main issue is that his bat isn't special if he is not behind the plate and the Padres have a fantastic defense catcher in Hedges, so mejia isn't going to overtake him unless the Padres trade Hedges. If he gets moved to the outfield or another position, he just doesn't have the power to be viable in a lot of formats.

Expectations for Julio Urias upon return in a month or so?
Justin Mason
9:29
I don't think he returns in a month or two. If he does, it would likely be in a limited role.
Vic
9:29
Teoscar? Is he a Top 150 player next year?
Justin Mason
9:29
yes

Freddy Peralta a legit guy?  He seems good, and doesn’t throw so hard that he will get injured.
Justin Mason
9:31
I think there are going to be ups and downs along the way with peralta. The delivery leads to a lack of command at times and you can only be so effective if you're walking 5 per 9

Which side you like more in a standard 10 team mixed roto: Pollock/G Cole or Stanton/Britton?
Justin Mason
9:32
Cole side
9:33
Unless you need the power and saves, but Britton may not be a closer in his next city.
Brian
9:33
In a deep dynasty, want Vlad.  But he wants Trea, Andujar, Ohtani, Lester.  Too much, right?
Justin Mason
9:33
way too much
I wouldn't even do Trea straight up
Scott Chu

How do you feel about Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo ROS?  They were both top 25 picks in the preseason, but currently rank 184th and 125th on ESPN player rater (respectively).
Justin Mason
9:34
Both will be fine. Underlying skills are still there. I just traded for Rizzo in a dynasty league.
Uncle Mork

Do you anticipate Hand to be the Cle closer next year?
Justin Mason
9:34
I think there is a 60% chance he is.
Sandy Ravage
9:35
What do I do with Mad Bum? I am in the thick of it and it's hard to justify selling, but he scares me. Should I sell at 60% of value or hang tight?
Justin Mason
9:35
See if you can package him with another piece for a stud.

I'm in a keeper league that has an annual problem of the have-nots making ridiculous dump trades. There is no penalty for finishing in last place, but I think if there were it would help. Do you have any experience with this type of situation?
Justin Mason
9:36
Yeah, I do, but you won't like my answer. I have no issue with dump trades as long as they're not collusion and the dumper makes their players available to everyone.
9:37
That being said, I have been in league that have instituted all sorts of rules to prevent dump trades. In-season salary cap and shortened trading period seems to have been the most popular options. Ultimately though, I don't believe we should make rules to decide how others should run their teams.

Younger Gurriel for real? Clearer path to playing time and they moved him up in the order. Poor man's brandon crawford?
Justin Mason
9:40
I am real interested to see him play more. The skills say he should strikeout more, but I think there is some pop and speed in that profile if he can continue to make good contact. I think long term he is a utility guy, but right now he has playing time, so he could be useful in deeper formats.
Bill

Severino last 3 something to worry about?
Justin Mason
9:40
Nah, I am not worried.
Brian
9:41
The Cubs starters remind me of the 90s Mariners.  Will any improve?
Justin Mason
9:42
They are in first place in the most competitive division in the game in spite of underperformance by some of their studs and almost all their starters. What more do you want?
Jeff
9:42
My friend Sammi Meatballs thinks Manaea is a top 20 SP and Mike Leake is top 40 SP. Thoughts?
Justin Mason
9:42
I want what Sammi is smoking.

Start Morton tomorrow in Colorado? (AL Only, so I don't really understand Rockies Stadium...)
Justin Mason
9:42
I am starting Morton anywhere

Are you worried about Kluber the rest of the season? Time to sell before his value plummets?
Justin Mason
9:43
Nope

In a 12 H2H points league, I traded Bumgarner & Mikolas and got Nola & Rich Hill....what are your thoughts? I'm a little uncertain about Nola's innings come the end of the year.
Justin Mason
9:43
I like that deal a lot.
Jake Junis Priest
9:44
Was not bringing up Willie Calhoun because of talent after all? Will he be too overmatched in the bigs for 2018?
