Justin - Your Roto Riteups genuinely make my mornings.  Keep up the good wok!
Justin Mason
9:27
Thanks! I try to have fun with them
Yu

What are the odds McCullers produces as a top-20 pitcher this year?
Justin Mason
9:28
50%? It is all health related for me. If he stay on the mound then he is a top 20 pitcher.
Mike
9:28
% of FAAB on Keynan Middleton?
Justin Mason
9:28
5%. I don't want to be involved in the Angels bullpen if I can help it.
Gimme Thor
9:29
With Rizzo out for at least a week I have a hole at 1B. Only decent guy on wire I see is Colin Moran, but I'd have to drop Baez to pick him up. I have Kingery for super utility and have more faith in him than Baez, but would you add Moran or just live with the hole for a week?
Justin Mason
9:30
You have to have3 someone else you can drop. I would hate to have a hole in my roster for a week, especially if the injury keeps him out longer, but I wouldn't want to drop Baez. Maybe look to trade Baez for a 1B?
Erik

Garrett Richards through three starts: 27% K rate, 17% walk rate. Both career highs, and both are stats that stabilize quickly. What do you make of him so far?
Justin Mason
9:30
I looooove Richards and always have. Health and innings are the concern. Better for a shallower league because you can't replace him easily in a deeper format.
Michelle
9:31
So... my FAAB did not go as planned and I ended up with Brian Johnson, Jose Urena, and Kirby Yates. Is there any hope for any of these guys in a deep mixer (14-team, 45 man rosters)?
Justin Mason
9:31
Yates just went on the DL I believe and I don't think the other two are viable outside of the deepest of formats.
Tate
9:31
Triggs, Newcomb, or Velasquez?
Justin Mason
9:31
Newcomb I guess...
Justin (Hey that's my name)
9:32
Would it be prudent to offer my Alex Wood another owner's Luis Castillo? I think Wood's floor is safer... but I'm nervous about the velocity drop.
Justin Mason
9:32
I am higher on Wood than I am Castillo. I have both in TGFBI though.

Has james paxton just had a really bad start?
Justin Mason
9:32
Yeah, I am not too worried unless we start hearing injury concerns.
Chad Banks
9:32
Hey Justin, need a replacement for first or third. Best short term option out of Chapman/HanRam/Moran/B Anderson. Thanks Buddy
Justin Mason
9:33
CHAPMAN!!!!

I didn't start Matt Boyd in weekly 15team roto because I was scared of the Yankees matchup on Sunday.  I went with nate jones instead.  Will I regret being timid?
Justin Mason
9:34
I don't think you should regret it even if Boyd is good. I don't like taking too many chances early. I hate starting with a deficit in my ratios.
Josh
9:34
Thoughts on Sean Newcomb after his dominant start in Coors?  Think he’s on the verge of a breakout?
Justin Mason
9:34
No, he needs to develop a third pitch before I believe in a breakout. Could have some useful K's but blowups will happen especially at Suntrust.
Ronald Acuña McDonaldson
9:35
10 team H2H with standard 5 categories + XBH and OBP. I have Story and Addy. Simmons, Swanson and Owings available. Cut Russell for one of them?
Justin Mason
9:35
I would hold for now, but Simmons is the add for me if you get too nervous.
Ole Rude
9:35
Nick Senzel could be up soon.
Justin Mason
9:35
Yup. I would start adding him now.
Asking For a Friend
9:35
What kind of price would you be willing to pay for Bradley Zimmer in a 15 team league, given he is destined for the HOF?
Justin Mason
9:36
My first born child?
9:37
Seriously though, I would be happy if I could get a discount with the early struggles. Try offering a hot top 200 guy. Like a Swanson or someone that is due serious regression.
Brett
9:38
Senzel is playing 3B in AAA tonight.  I'm guessing they'll be calling him up after his magic arby deadline (I mean... after he "figured things out")...  if he plays regularly in the bigs this season, what is a reasonable expectation?
Justin Mason
9:38
I could see him going 15/15 with a very nice average
Moltar
9:38
Eugeni-oh no, and he was looking so good too! Think Matt Chapman can keep it going while Suarez is out, or should I be looking at the wire for more stability?
Justin Mason
9:38
Yes! I love Chapman and his elite defense should keep him in the lineup even if he struggles. Should be owned in just about every format.
Gimme Thor
9:39
With Rizzo on DL for at least a week (I hope no longer) and have a hole at 1B. Only decent guy on wire I see is Colin Moran, but I'd have to drop Baez. I do have Kingery for super utility. But would you drop Baez for Moran to fill hole or just live with the hole til Rizzo returns?
Justin Mason
9:39
Guys, I will try and get to every question. Lets try and not fill up my queue with repeats. Just slows down the process.
Scuba Steve
9:39
You buying the Jacob Junis breakout? Viable in 10 team mixed?
Justin Mason
9:40
I am and I'm not. Not enough strikeouts for me, but I think he can help in the ratios. Problem is the Royals suck and so you are losing out on wins too.
