Thoughts on Marcus Stroman? I spent pick 120 on him in my draft but I am feeling like I could be better off with streaming SP's (looking at Junis) because Stroman isn't a stud in K, ERA, or WHIP. Am I crazy?
Justin Mason
10:08
I am not dropping him. You knew what you were getting into when you drafted him and it isn't like Junis has high K upside anyhow.

Has Brach gotten a longer leash thanks to his last few outings?
Justin Mason
10:09
I think so.
Chris

Would you hold onto David Dahl if you cant make a waiver pickup until June 10th if you don't make a move today? The cutline format allows for boom busts or usually bad guys who have good weeks to still be valuable
Justin Mason
10:09
No, where does he play? They can't even get McMahon in the lineup.
Cardinal Sin
10:09
when will Flaherty rejoin rotation with Waino going to relief role? hold him even if have many injuries?
Justin Mason
10:09
God I hope so.

how much are you buying into Taillon's start?
Justin Mason
10:09
A lot. I really believe in this kid's talent and maturity.
Ken

Who do you like most among Kennedy, Pivetta and Giolito? Or a returning Wheeler worth an add over those guys?
Justin Mason
10:10
Giolito

Think Mancini sticks in the lead off slot? Seems counter productive to take a middle of the order bat and hit him at leadoff. It's not like he's an on base machine and steals bases. Thought Beckham did fine there last year.
Justin Mason
10:10
I think that is going to change a bunch this year.

A guy in one of my OBP and SLG leagues didn't buy a catcher and isn't playing with one. It's not against the posted rules, but is this a viable strategy?
Justin Mason
10:10
It is a strategy, but you are sacrificing counting stats at a position, so it is not a good one

Odds the Pirates finish above .500?

have you heard anything on Melancon? still shut down? would you drop him?
Justin Mason
10:11
I would try and keep him on the DL, but I haven't heard anything and I am really worried.
Aaron

In a shallow-ish league (9 teams) with a high IP limit (1450) is it more or less important to have aces?  With a little saves luck I think I can sweep the pitching categories with Syndergaard, Severino, Paxton, Richards, Samardzija, Taillon, and Rich Hill.  I think I'm going to need some lineup help but wondering if I'll regret trading one of my top 2 arms.  Thanks
Justin Mason
10:12
I think it is more important to have those studs. Getting the bad starts kills you in an innings max league.

Should I be selling Sano?
Justin Mason
10:12
Nope

Could you rank non-kela relievers in Texas please? Thinking of cutting Claudio.
Justin Mason
10:13
Kela, Bush, Claudio, Diekman
Tricky Nicky
10:13
Nicky Delmonico. big stats with full year of AB's?
Justin Mason
10:13
nope
Brett

Jose Martinez over/under on HRs ROS... 29.5.  What do you take?
Justin Mason
10:13
Under but that is close
David

Can Tyson Ross be relevant again in fantasy ?
Justin Mason
10:13
probably not

I traded Cueto for Luis Castillo. Did I do ok?
Justin Mason
10:14
I prefer Cueto

Where would you draw the line between playing a man down or playing someone bad when you have an injury? I've been playing a man down in my 18-team, two-catcher, no-DL league since Realmuto has been out all year and the best catcher on the wire is Andrew Knapp. My bench is almost exclusively injured guys and minors stashes. Should I have grabbed someone right away or did I make the right move?
Justin Mason
10:14
This is the only situation where I would leave an empty spot rather than drop a better player. Deep 2 catcher formats are hard when guys go down
