Going to start in a couple of minutes. Bear with me as I am just finishing up a prospect pod for the FWFB pod.

Which Padres outfielder is the better fantasy bet in 2019: Cordero or Reyes?
Justin Mason
9:07
I think Reyes is the safer play, but Cordero has a better fantasy upside.

Seeing some chatter about Desclafani being a good buy low, what's your opinion of him?
Justin Mason
9:08
Damn, I really like desclafani. Showed some health and nice skills at the end of the season last year. Great gamble as a 6th or 7th starter.

Who would you draft between Esteury Ruiz or Xavier Edwards in a NL only roto?
Justin Mason
9:09
I am assuming it is a dynasty league, so it depends on what you need. If you are looking for impact sooner, it is Ruiz, but Edwards could be a special talent long term.
KD
9:09
Do you see Leonys Martin emerging with a near everyday role with the Indians...at least to start the season?
Justin Mason
9:10
To start the season he will and with the state of the outfield in Cleveland, he probably will have a role all year.
Matt Thompson
9:10
Are you even listening to me?????
Justin Mason
9:10
no
Joe

Wheeler for $5 or Gallo for $11 in a points league that doesn't penalize strikeouts for hitters but does have big bonuses for pitcher wins and QS?
Justin Mason
9:11
Wheeler, but I understand if you need the offense.
Danny Jansen
9:11
What should people expect from me stat wise in 2019?  I’m a top 12 MLB C, right?
Justin Mason
9:12
I don't think you are a top 12 catcher right away, but you are a C2 that won't hurt you. Maybe like 10-15 homers with a .260 avg
gets a bump in bop too.

Hi Justin! Great work on all the podcasts over on FWFB. Folks seem down on Madrigal because they don’t think he will grow into much power, but doesn’t he seem like the 2017-2018 version of Jean Segura? 10HR/20SB and .300 from the MI seems reasonable and is quite good.
Justin Mason
9:15
Matt talked a lot about him on the White Sox prospect pod a couple of days ago. Thinks the hate has gone too far. I like the hit tool which is the most important. I don't think he is Segura, but he could be Cesar Hernandez ish
Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe
9:15
Have to keep Yelich over Albies in an OBP keeper league, right?
Justin Mason
9:15
yes
Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe
9:15
Walker Buehler or Zack Greinke in a league with W/L/QS?
Justin Mason
9:15
Buehler for the upside
KD
9:15
What are some category or rule innovations you would suggest to a league that has been together for a few decades?  Our last changes were NSB and OBP.
Justin Mason
9:16
I am in a league this year that just replaced saves with Saves x 2 + Holds as a category. However, I am not a big fan of changing rules in long term leagues. If things have been going well for a long period of time, why change it?
AJ
9:16
Can Urias hit enough to play everyday?
Justin Mason
9:17
Definitely.
John
9:17
Thoughts on Alex Verdugo.  What kind of season do you expect for him?
Justin Mason
9:17
I like vertigo a lot as a real life player. As a fantasy player, he is less interesting. Maybe like 15 homers and 10 SBs.
Mike
9:18
Ottoneu 5x5 - 4$ Sixto Sanchez for 12$ Doolittle? Surplus of saves
Justin Mason
9:18
Feel like you should get something else. Love Sixto though.
laura
9:18
what do you expect of the calhouns (kole and willie)? think kole will keep producing like he did at the end of last season after his horrid start? do you think willie gets significant playing time in the majors this season?
Justin Mason
9:19
I hope that the Rangers give Willie the run he needs. He struggles defensively, so that is a problem. Still think he can be a 30 homer bat with a nice average. Kole is meh
AJ
9:19
Who is the best young SP in Atlanta...Gohara, Touki or Wright?
Justin Mason
9:20
Touki for 2019, Wright for the future but all are really good.
RJ

How do you envision the Dodgers rotation shaking out?  I own Maeda, Ryu, and Stripling in a dynasty league and wanna know which to keep and which to entertain offers
Justin Mason
9:21
I think the dodgers will likely go with a six man rotation until players get hurt. Prefer Stripling of the three, but all will have value.n
Purple Mays Haze
9:21
Matt Olson and AJ Puk or Miguel Andujar and Luis Urias in dynasty?
Justin Mason
9:21
Olsen side
dezre
9:21
How important will it be to secure a top 1B early in 12-team mixed drafts given the lack of depth at the position? Worth it to go after Goldy or Freeman in the early 2nd round?
