Hey everyone,
starting in a few minutes, so get your questions in. Please don't repeat questions.

With the Portland Diamond Project getting a 55 year lease on property they plan to build a stadium on, how soon do you think we see MLB baseball in Portland, and do you see a relocation from a current team or do you expect an expansion?
Justin Mason
9:08
Without knowing the details of the Mariners territorial rights, I would guess we will see new expansion teams in the next 5-10 years and I think Portland is high up on the list with Montreal.

Think Stroman can be a viable SP5 in a points league? Thanks!
Justin Mason
9:09
Not unless he gets traded out of Toronto. He needs to get off of turf.

Keeper league: should I keep Rafael Devers, Gleyber Torres, or try to hold on to both?
Justin Mason
9:10
I would try and hold both or sell high on Torres

Do the Cardinals need to add another piece or two to be considered division favorites?
Justin Mason
9:10
I think they do, but they could also win it without doing so. That division is wide open.

Hi! AL only OBP: which speedster: Mallex Smith or A Mondesi?
Justin Mason
9:11
Close because of the OBP, but I will go with Mondesi
J Giles
9:11
Do you think Giles finds his old (good) form in Toronto? Worth keeping for $10 in al only?
Justin Mason
9:11
I think he will. He's worth the gamble in AL only at that price.
Maris
9:11
Points/keeper league. Same price. Who you like: Luis Castillo or Jose Berrios? Leaning Castillo due to National League.
Justin Mason
9:11
Berrios for me unless you are shooting for the higher upside. Berrios is safer IMO

Just listened to your catcher preview pod...nice work! Would any of those middle tier guys stand out as big risers or fallers in an OBP league? Thanks!
Justin Mason
9:13
Cervelli, Barnes, Posey, Jansen, Narvez, Flowers, Grandal, Ianetta all get bumps in OBP

How do you value Ozzie Albies in an OBP 5 keeper keep forever league?
Justin Mason
9:13
Top 50?

How do you feel about Sale going in to 2019? I have an offer on the table to get him at a market-rate salary but it would cut in to my depth pretty harshly. It's a h2h points league so pitchers are gold and top-5 starters are rarely available. But Sale also has injury concerns and always seems to fade during the h2h playoffs. So, I am torn.
Justin Mason
9:14
I am not that worried about Sale. Think he should be fine.

In your opinion.. is the popularity of Fantasy Baseball being undermined or energized by the advent of legalized sports gambling ??
Justin Mason
9:14
I think season long fantasy is fine. DFS may find themselves facing increased competition.

12 team roto, keep 5 forever, with a 180 start limit (R, HR, RBI, SB, OPS and QS, ERA, WHIP, K’s, SV+HD). Who are your 5 keepers – Harper, Stanton, Carpenter, Suarez, Dee, Cain, Nola, Carrasco, Syndergaard. Thank you!
Justin Mason
9:15
Harper, Stanton, Carpenter, Suarez, Nola

As a certified addiction counselor, how do you think the MLB should proceed in regards to marijuana use over opiates in pain mediation?
Justin Mason
9:17
I think each team should employ an addiction specialist. However, MLB shouldn't legislate against use, unless there is an identifiable issue.

Will Soto have a better career than Harper?
Justin Mason
9:17
No

How would you forecast the HOF class of 2020?
Justin Mason
9:17
I don't. Worst popularity contest ever
Myles Straw's grandmother
9:17
Any chance that Myles can break camp as a 4th OF?
Justin Mason
9:17
nope
Billy Bombers

Thanks for the Chat! 12 team, roto, keep-forever - is Votto, Eduardo Escobar too rich for Buxton and Jurickson Profar? Profar would be my starting 1B heading into the year, and also trying to compete this year.
Justin Mason
9:18
I want Votto side
and that isn't close.

All the projection systems seem to LOVE Puig. Do you believe he can go 30/90/90/15 like the projections seem to have him? Do you think he hits in bottom half or top half of lineup? Would you rather have Pham or Puig this year?
Justin Mason
9:19
I think Puig has that upside, but he needs to stay on the field before I can buy those numbers. Give me Pham all day.

Why do you have a personal vendetta against Adalberto Mondesi and his entire extended family?
