As long as he is healthy. Skills are legit.

Are you as hyped as Sporer on Taillon?
Justin Mason
9:47
Definitely. I am a bit more worried about his health considering his history. Still love him though.

Eno had an interesting piece about high-K youngsters who could maybe cut down the strike-outs and deliver on their potential. Who out of Brinson, Buxton, Mondesi (excluding his SB prowess) and Rosario do you think can take the leap?
Justin Mason
9:47
I think all could. I feel most confident about Buxton and Rosario.
9:48
Mondesi will still be useful even if he doesn't though. Good defender on a bad team. Same with Buxton.

Justin, everyone is talking about how to fix baseball with free agency and all these teams tanking.  First you can do a draft lottery to lessen the guarantee of finishing last, but how about the players asking the teams to open up the books for audit by one of the Big 4 accounting firms, then we can see the real numbers.  I don't trust these reported figures, like teams saying they don't own the parking, but they seem to set the prices...
Justin Mason

How about a salary minimum cap? Each team needs to spend at least a certain amount.

Final keeper of 8 in 12 team dynasty with OBP, k, QS, k/bb as added categories.  Last keeper down to albies or clevinger.  Already have trout, Goldschmidt, machado, bregman, Hoskins, Cole, Paxton so not hurting for either side.  With the dearth of 200ip starters, is it reasonable to keep clevinger over albies?
Justin Mason
9:49
yes
Ryan

Regarding Vlad, does that change in a 3 year keeper?
Justin Mason
9:49
If you are not playing for this year.
Carl

Trade Stanton for carrasco? Fair?
Justin Mason
9:50
sure
Pedro

Are you scooping up shares of Correa at his 49 ADP this year? Can we say last year was the injury bug or are there legit concerns?
Justin Mason
9:50
absolutely not. Need him to stay on the field.

You’re comparing Seager to DeJong...what’s next? You gonna call DeJong a poor man’s Carlos Correa?!
Justin Mason
9:53
Awkward....

Regarding a minimum spending cap, what is stopping teams from just taking on one or two bad contracts to reach the floor and tanking regardless?
Justin Mason
9:53
nothing

Could you justify paying $10 on Mallex Smith in a $260 5x5 roto?
Justin Mason
9:53
depends on size of league, but most likely yes
Dave Cameron
9:54
has anyone ever played in a league where in addition to the normal player pool, you’ve had say 5-10 historically great player seasons available at auction as well? It is a format I’ve wanted to play around with, but is kind of radical so hard to get 10-12 people on board. But it would be interesting to me to see how much of a regular $260 budget someone would pay, not just for the great stats, but the certainty of those stats. Like, Ty Cobb’s 1911 where he hit .420/8/147/127/83. Or Ruth’s 1921 with .378/59/177/171/17. Objectively, probably worth $70+ at auction, but will make it interesting to fill out the rest of your roster.
Justin Mason

I have no idea, but that sounds amazing.
Jono

Expectations on victor Robles despite a lost 2018 seems crazy high. Am i missing something? Are SBs so valuable that I can't pass on keeping him?
Justin Mason
9:55
I mean, he was a top 5 prospect coming into last year and is now healthy and with a full time job on a good team.

just saw that you won't be taking Ottoneu questions, so I'll ask a different one. In my keep forever 6x6 H2H categories league I'd like some help with final SP cuts (K, QS, BAA, ERA, WHIP,SV). I have Gerrit Cole, Thor, Clevinger, Heaney, Castillo locked in. The next group is: Happ, Beiber, Eovaldi, Godley, Porcello, ERod. I need to cut two of them. Thoughts?
Justin Mason
9:56
Cut Beiber and Porcello

Remember that season where Alfonso Soriano mashed for the Nationals?
Justin Mason

Peppridge Farms remembers
Carl
9:57
How do you feel about Strasburg this year? Trade Bellinger or too much
Justin Mason
9:57
Love Strasburg when he is healthy. Always a lot of risk there though. That isn't a bad deal for either side.
Big Tuna
9:58
Who is your "Holy C*** I can't believe he just drafted him in the 3rd" but ends up having a huge year player?
Justin Mason
9:58
Khris Bryant or Starling Marte.
9:59
Though the first three rounds are stacked, so a lot of guys could easily return first round value.
I got to go record the sleeper and the bust with Paul.
