Hey everyone! Starting a bit early today so I can record with Paul right after. 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.

Would you start Thomas Pannone against Baltimore today who is terrible against left handed pitching?

Justin Mason

If I was feeling a bit desperate I would

Urias!!

Justin Mason

8:31

I am interested to watch him play. I think he profiles more as an empty average guy, but he has shown a bit of pop for his smaller frame. Worth an add if you are chasing average.

Michael Smith

Austin Dean a viable option for a bench OF for the playoffs in a h2h roto 10 teamer?

Justin Mason

8:32

Probably not

Do you see Shohei Ohtani being useful as a pitcher in H2H playoffs? Worth a speculative add?

Justin Mason

8:33

I think he is worth a speculative add if he's just sitting out there. My real concern is how deep into games they let him pitch. They should be conservative.

Elvis Andrus...post DL stint he has been a letdown. I've been toying with the idea of dropping him. Am I crazy? 12 tm roto.

Justin Mason

8:34

Depends on who is available, but I don't necessarily have a problem with it. We are in the home stretch. Very few people aren't worth dropping if they aren't performing.

Do you still think Franmil Reyes is not interesting long term? 110 wRC+ in 171 PA. Pacing almost 40 jacks

Justin Mason

8:35

I don't know how he is ever an everyday player with the holes in his swing. Striking out 34% of the time won't work well long term.

OBP league. Would you value Mallex Smith over Chris Taylor in 2019?

Justin Mason

8:36

For right now, I would, but that could change depending on what the Dodgers do with the rest of the roster in the off season. Mallex has a better path to playing time right now.

Kyle

Walker Buehler has been on fire lately. Is he starting to really grow into the ace he has always had the potential to be?

Justin Mason

8:36

YES!

Robert

8:37

Back on the Stratton train? What do you expect from him this year and moving forward into next?

Justin Mason

8:37

I am for this year because the injuries gives him a spot in the rotation. He doesn't have much long term value as I don't think he has a spot next season.

jeddy

8:38

What are your thoughts of Jed Lowrie rest of season? Every time I think he cools offs he just keeps going

Justin Mason

8:38

outside of July, he has been great all season. As long as he is healthy, I would ride it out.

Vlad, Soto, and Snell

Angelus Novus

Hey Justin, I need some help. In a keep 3 (for next two seasons) H2H league here are my options for next year: Juan Soto (25), Vlad Jr (25), Albies (10), Snell (15), Realmuto (14), Haniger (18), Odor (25), Brantley (25), Wheeler (25), Rodon (25), Kopech (25), Luis Urias (25), Eloy Jimenez (25).
If the answer is three guys for round 25 I would get them in rounds 23-25. At first, I thought it was obviously Soto, Vlad Jr, and Albies. But with Snell and Jimenez surging and Albies floundering I'm beginning to second guess myself. Which three would you take? For context. it's a H2H league where pitching is at a premium.

Justin Mason

8:39

Vlad, Soto, and Snell

Erik

Will Javy Baez be drafted as high or higher than Kris Bryant next season? Bryant has the longer track record, but he'll be coming off an injury-plagued season, while Baez seems to be the best power-speed combo this side of Jose Ramirez and Mike Trout.

Justin Mason

8:40

I think they will be going around each other, which means I will be getting a lot of Bryant shares.

Rick

8:40

Who would you rather keep for 2019: Vlad Jr or Soto?

Justin Mason

8:40

Vlad

Who do you think is going to be the most fantasy useful September call up? Meadows?

Justin Mason

Vlad Jr

zorn

His Arenado for my deGrom?

Justin Mason

8:41

sure

The Drizzle

8:41

Besides Kopech, any arms to target for September call ups to help. Just gave up on McCullers, assuming he is pretty much done at this point.

Justin Mason

8:42

Non that really jump out as impact.

Most of the arms coming up won't be really that great. Staumont in KC is probably one of the better starters. Kyle Wright is an interesting arm, but will likely relieve.

Sum

8:43

struggling with my keeper decision for next year. where do you see ADP for Jack Flaherty and Michael Soroka next year?

Justin Mason

8:43

Get back to me in a few weeks when I start running the Too Early Mocks

Chris

8:43

If Stripling has a starting gig starting next year, should he be drafted as a top 30 pitcher?
