You can. I love Heaney, but you play to win right now and with a month left you can afford to play the matchups more.

hey what is going on with Kluber this year? K rate is down (significantly), hard hit rate up, and he's using slider a ton less. Should this stuff scare me away from trying to acquire him before Friday's trade deadline?

Justin Mason

I think he may be a little hurt. Still has been pitching well enough, but I am not paying a ton for him right now.

I will buy a Jays ticket immediately if they bring up Vlad Jr. I will also not complain about my phone bills for 3 months.

Justin Mason

YUP!

NL only keep forever league........keep Ketel Marte or Maikel Franco?

Justin Mason

Marte

Eric

You too buddy!

Drop Matt Olson for Pham? 12 team 5x5

Justin Mason

9:02

I have no issue with that, but don't be surprised if either goes off or is super cold rest of the way. Both are streaky.

Willy Adames has been showing surprising pop with steals to throw in. Go with his upside over guys like Semien/Crawford in a H2H OBP ROS? Assuming the Rays will play him everyday.

Justin Mason

9:02

I would take Semien over him, but no problem with him over Crawford.

Raul Gillette

Thoughts on David Peralta in future seasons? Unrepeatable peak season or can he churn out another couple years of production like this?

Justin Mason

9:03

I think he can do close to this. The power breakout may come back to like 20 next year, but the rest is in line with what he has done before.

Wellington Castillo is under contract by the White Sox next year. There's been some recent talk that Narvaez should start next season. Who do you think is catching for the Pale Hose next year? He's available via FAAB this Sunday and probably could be had for $1 in my 12 team AL only league.

Justin Mason

9:04

I think Castillo is catching early one in the season to build up trade value.

Griffey's Nerve Tonic

I have Bauer on the DL in 1 league and on the waiver wire in the other. Both playoff teams - playoffs end 9/30. Drop him or pick him up?

Justin Mason

9:05

I would grab him. I think he could be back in time for you playoffs.

Trey Mancini's batted ball data from 2017 is identical to 2018. Why the huge drop in AVG/BABIP?

Justin Mason

9:06

Last year he got lucky, this year he is getting unlucky. I think he is more of a .250-.260 hitter with 20 homers.

IS Bregman this good? What's his peak? Are we seeing it?

Justin Mason

9:07

I think we are living his peak right now. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he added more steals next season. He is J-Ram lite.

Moelicious

9:08

Which two keepers? DeGrom, Verlander, Altuve, Bregman, Yelich, Suarez.

Justin Mason

9:08

Altuve, Bregman

Chris

OBP league. Pick two to keep, Ozuna, M.Chapman, Cespedes.

Justin Mason

9:08

Chapman and Ozuna

is donaldson going to be any good when he finally gets back on the field?

Justin Mason

9:08

Yes, but how long does he stay non the field?

Tim

9:09

My favorite part about the fantasy playoffs is the liberation i feel in being able to drop Vlad Jr for Joey Lucchesi because I REALLY need a QS or Andrelton Simmons for Rosario because I REALLY need SBs. I can be the impulsive manager I know would be better ALL year because I'm not hung up on names.

Justin Mason

9:09

PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!

Nomar Mazara hasn't progressed at all in his 3rd season. Should TEX gamble this is as good as he gets and try to deal him this offseason for some young SP?

Justin Mason

9:09

Sure, but they won.t

Morrow?

9:09

See him before playoffs?

Justin Mason

9:09

I really don't have any idea.

Investing for next year and beyond in a dynasty league, how would you rank all the rookie Brave pitchers? Soroka, Toussaint, Wilson, Gohara, Fried, Allard. (Did I miss any?)

Justin Mason

9:10

I would go Soroka, Touki, Allard, Wright, Wilson, Fried.

man that is crazy how much good young pitching they have!

Charlie Kelly

9:11

Why doesn't Ketel Marte steal any bases? The DBacks as a team run quite a bit and he's 2nd fastest on the team per Statcast.

Justin Mason

9:11

because he is stuck batting 6th or 7th.
