Re - Few not worth dropping: How do you balance this with dynasty value to a competitor? Due to minimal cap space, guys will likely be able to be picked up for below auction value, and potentially provide future value. Should this be taken into consideration at all - or no?
Justin Mason
8:44
If I am competing, I do whatever I have to do to win. Championships are forever
Rockies come to your senses!
8:44
Does McMahon get meaningful playing time this year? Why does COL insist on dragging out guys in front of him who are already worse this year, let alone long-term?
Justin Mason
8:44
I don't think he does. Organizations like known qualities unfortunately.
OddBall Herrera

Think Mitch Keller or Touki move the needle much on ROS starts?
Justin Mason
8:45
I think Touki does, but I don't think Keller is coming up
Wash closer
8:46
who gets most saves ROS?
Justin Mason
8:46
Glover?
Kyle
8:47
Any chance we see Whitley or James get called up for the Astros or will they keep having bullpen days to replace McCullers?
Justin Mason
8:47
I don't think either are coming to the rotation.

Does Bird return or has Voit taken his spot? Seems like how well Voit does this week may have alot to say which way the Yanks turn.
Justin Mason
8:47
I think long term Bird gets more chances, but for now they will ride with Voit.
Matt

What are your thoughts on Pivetta's future? Closer to first-half, or closer to second half?
Justin Mason
8:48
I think long term he is a 3.3-3.5 ERA guy with great strikeouts. This has been a rough second half but the underlying numbers are great.
CubFan

Think the cost conscious A's will resign Lowrie for 2019+ or turn to Barreto?
Justin Mason
8:49
I think they will turn to Barreto unless Lowrie is cheap.
Eric

What do you do with Pivetta and Eflin in a 10 team keeper, 12 person points league? Eflin needs to be a keeper, right?
Justin Mason
8:49
I personally prefer Pivetta.
Robert

Any interest in Brandon Lowe of Tampa?  Started really slow but has hit well the past couple weeks and has 2 SBs in that time frame.
Justin Mason
8:51
We haven't seen it yet, but he has some pop in that bat too. The questions are whether the hit tool is as good as we think it could be and if his defense is passable somewhere. I think the latter is a huge concern, but in fantasy I am ok if he hits enough to get him on the field.
TJ
8:51
What makes you think Vlad will get called up?  I was assuming he'd get the Kris Bryant treatment and be a May callup in 2019...really impacted my keeper strategy (I cut him since I'm in the playoffs and trying to win now).  Your opinions are now filling me with regret.
Justin Mason
8:51
It's honestly a crapshoot at this point, but I think the Jays may bring him up in September to sell tickets.
CubFan

How concerned are you with Ohtani's partial UCL tear and McCullers forearm injury (maybe foretells TJ down the road) for pitching purposes in 2019?
Justin Mason
8:52
I am super concerned on Ohtani. I will not have any 2019 shares like I had no 2018 ones. McCullers I am a bit less concerned and I think his price will be right to gamble on.
Raul Gillette

Machado signs with Yankees and pushes Andujar to 1B next year? 1B has been a major hole in that lineup for 2 seasons, and it's theoretically the easiest position to fill with a decent bat.
Justin Mason
8:53
hmmm... I like the way you think. Or they sign Machado and trade him for pitching.
baseball fan
8:54
hello...i have a first round bye this week...H2H points league...are there any potential fringe 2 start SP i should look to add early this week?
Justin Mason
8:54
Pultko, Erasmo Rmirez, Reynaldo Lopez all have nice Monday matchups and then you can see if their second ones work well for you as the week progresses.
Bill

Ketel Marte....future comps?
Future for Ketel Marte?
Justin Mason
8:55
Please don't repeat questions.
8:56
I like Marte, but if he doesn't steal he isn't super valuable. Hard to see anything changing right now.
Nyls Nyman

Can get Gary Sanchez off wire. Or I can have Jansen, Gomes, Cervelli, Narvaez. Elimination roto league where I'm now in last place.
Justin Mason
8:56
Grab Sanchez. He is supposed to be back on the 3rd.
CubFan
8:57
Gaze into your crystal ball....what chance do you place on Eduardo Escobar coming back to the AL next year? Got him dirt cheap. Seemed to really like playing in MN. And your not allowed to use 50-50 :-)
Justin Mason
8:57
I think there is a 75% chance he comes back the AL.
CubFan
8:57
Is Laureano in Oakland's 2019 OF plans? Management keeps saying Fowler is their future CFer. And is Canha nothing more than a decent 4th OFer?
Justin Mason
8:58
I think he will be. Will have to battle for playing time, but I think the defense and hit tool give him a chance to be in the lineup
Ryan

What would you think about dropping Heaney for Alec Mills in a 12 team 5x5? Mills has the Mets tomorrow, Heany vs HOU.
