News just came out that they are moving him back to 3B. He should be up soon after April 14th. I could see him going 15/15 with a very nice average
Strat-o-matic
9:15
How do you approach FAAB in only leagues?  Go heavy early, or save for trade deadlines?
Justin Mason
9:15
I tend to hoard my faab unless I am in dire need of something. The pool is so shallow that I don't want to get in a bidding war over bad players.
SK

Looking for a RP that has SP eligibility (Yahoo 5x5).  Any value from these guys -- M. Gsellman, M. Montgomery or B. Norris?  Thanks.
Justin Mason
9:16
I am really impressed by Gsellmen in the new role. Think he could be valuable in deeper formats.
Sean

Ryan Zimmerman. Is he just an .800 OPS-ish 1B guy? (that's what he's been since his torrid April last year). He was recently dropped in my 12 teamer. Still on waivers..
Justin Mason
9:17
Yeah, I am not a Zimmerman guy especially when you add in the injury risk. Gets a nice boost from the lineup, but I don't know that he is worth rostering in shallower formats.
Derek
9:17
Think Barreto is going to get regular duty?  Should I drop Ketel Marte for him?
Justin Mason
9:18
I wouldn't drop Marte who has pretty much guaranteed playing time, but I like Barreto a lot.
Ohtani time
9:18
Ohtani for Syndergaard in Ottoneu fgpts?
Justin Mason
9:18
I am an Ottoneu novice, so I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction.

5 x5 OBP league (AL).  Was offered Buxton and Graveman for Mancini and Junis.    Your thoughts?  SBs are good, but the rest of Buxton's offensive game...
Justin Mason
9:19
Upside vs floor. I would go for it in a 12-team or shallower. Shoot I would take it in a 15-teamer if I had a safe average floor with the rest of my team.
Confused
9:20
When you are hungry, do you ever say to yourself "Me Growley?".  Oh wait, wrong chat
Justin Mason
9:20
looooool
WHIP Appeal
9:20
Trade Judge for Shohei? I have Shohei fever
Justin Mason
9:20
I am super impressed by Ohtani, but I am not ready to make that move yet.
J.W.
9:20
I get Gary Sanchez, Jose Ramirez, and Luis Castillo.  He gets my McCullers, Grandal, and M. Franco.  Who wins?
Justin Mason
9:20
You do. Stop talking to me and go hit accept.

Michelle

Welcome! Is this going to be a weekly thing?
Justin Mason
9:21
Yes! I will be here every Tuesday until Paul fires me.

JM - thanks for giving us another weekly chat! You think Ozzie Albies can get to 20 homers this year? Would be way sooner than expected.
Justin Mason
9:21
Glad to be here. I don't know that Albies gets to 20 bombs, but I could see 15. The steals and average are the mature tools.
John
9:21
I should trade Ohtani right? My heart is so attached already.

Justin Mason
9:22
If you can get a top 20-30 hitter I would.
Tate
9:22
Would you be using Acuna as trade bate or holding in a dynasty league? I was offered Blackmon for CMart and Acuna but I'm leaning towards declining.
Justin Mason
9:23
I have seen him go for so much more already. If you have waited this long, then why not wait to see if he does come up April 14th and then trade him for a fortune.
Cutch
9:23
Are you okay with punting steals in a 7x7 H2H league? Other categories are Hits and OPS.
crying 1
Justin Mason
9:23
I love punting categories. Especially in a league with 14 categories.
Erik
9:23
Have any early strugglers left you genuinely worried on the hitting side?
Justin Mason
9:24
Not really. I don't change my opinions this early on unless there is an injury, skill or role change.
CB
9:24
Are you ok with Asdrubal Cabrera as your starting 3B in an 18 team H2H points league? Lost Suarez
Justin Mason
9:24
I don't love it, but in a league that deep, you take what you can get.
Pete
9:25
6x6 obp league with wins and quality starts as a cat. 10 teams  My Kris Bryant, Ohtani, and Boxberger for his machado and Severino a fair deal ? I’m thinking maybe it’s too lateral of a move perhaps but I’m trying to sell high on Ohtani just not really sure what’s fair
Justin Mason
9:25
I think that is a nice deal especially if you have other saves and don't need Box
Alex
9:25
Where does Colin Moran's upside rank in the 3B pool? Is the swing change driven HR boost last year (to 19 in 350 PAs) real, or is he is a 12 HR guy like the projection systems imply?
Justin Mason
9:26
I don't think there is a ton of upside, but the projections systems are a bit conservative on him. I would say he is a 18-22 homer guy in PNC.
Shoeless One
9:26
Thanks for being here! 13-team AL-only with no bench. Drew Robinson or Jacoby Jones? And how long does Giolito last as a viable option?
Justin Mason
9:27
I'll take Robinson because the Rangers really seem to like him. I am sticking with Giolito for a bit longer. The talent is there, but he will struggle when the mechanics get wonky.
Tate
9:27
Is Hoskins too much to offer up for Albies in a keep forever?
