Any advice for someone forced to pre rank? Strategy?

Justin Mason

Join a different league?

Top 4 closers are kept - Leaves Jansen, Chapman, Kimbrel and Vazquez - who do you think is the safest bet of the 4 if I am going to pay for 1 lockdown closer and play the waiver wire for the rest of my saves?

Justin Mason

Vasquez

Who is the last SP you would want to take as your SP1 in a H2H 5x5 league? Glad you liked my Stray Klink impression

Justin Mason

2:56

Kind of depends on the depth of the league, but I would say Carrasco is the cut off for me

2:57

I am almost out of questions! Ask anything

2:57

12 Team 5x5 roto keeper/dynasty league (8 keepers, 6 minor league guys) - I am rebuilding this year and am wondering if you think Sal Perez, Cueto or McCullers are worth rostering to use my 3 DL spots? (3 bench spots as well). 2 catcher league.

Justin Mason

2:58

I definitely would roster them if you are punting. That is something I always try to do when I am rebuilding, actively acquire big names on the DL.

Do you know how these games count for leagues on the NFBC?

Justin Mason

2:58

Roster positions for these games locked at game time

How much would you have to earn from fantasy baseball (leagues + other business) to quit your day (well, night) job?

Justin Mason

2:59

Probably around $3-4k per month. You hiring?

Am I in trouble in 12 team H2H roto?

Justin Mason

Wink twice if you need help

Russell

How much differently to you see TGFBI playing out this year with its move to NFBC?

Justin Mason

3:01

I don't know that it plays out much differently. I think the main difference is that if you drafted an unbalanced team, you could be in some trouble without the trades.

Andrew

H2H 6x6, standard 5x5 with OPS and QS added. Tiered keeper system. Have the first pick, Lindor, J.D. Martinez, Rizzo, Sale, DeGrom, Syndergaard?

Justin Mason

3:01

In a rebuild season - do you like the strategy of paying for a few big guys to trade and then rostering as many flyers, injury bouncebacks etc to try to find keepers for the next season? Obviously being active on the waiver wire all season too.

Justin Mason

3:02

I like that strategy, however, drafting to trade can be difficult if people in your league aren't big traders or prioritize keepers.

CoMacDo

3:02

What is your personal preference on catcher strategy in a 12 team h2h league(1 catcher). Is it such a wasteland that it's not worth drafting anyone? Or does position scarcity make it a must to have one of the top 5 guys?

Justin Mason

3:03

In a one catcher league rarely grab a top tier guy unless a big value falls to me. I would rather play the wire and grab the hot guy

Justice

3:04

Do you see JBJ breaking out? Apparently has a new swing

Justin Mason

3:04

I don't but I know there are a lot of believers. I need to see it before I buy in

CoMacDo

3:04

Thoughts on 3 guys who are priced like they've put it together but haven't yet: Bieber, Glasnow and Pivetta.

Justin Mason

3:06

I am not buying into Bieber or Glasnow. Bieber is just too expensive. Glasnow is already tweaking mechanics in spring. I love Pivetta, but he has to keep the ball in the yard. I think natural regression makes him better in the surface numbers and there is upside for a lot more.

3:06

Again with more rebuilding questions - (5x5 roto OBP/IP) I am trying to avoid coming in last even though I am the only rebuilding team. I plan to draft/roster steals and stream 2SP to keep points in SB, IP and K's...any other thoughts on how to stay out of last place (last place makes 1st place a trophy in our league)

Justin Mason

3:07

Interesting strategy. I don't know if it works, but I think it is worth trying. The one thing I have done in the past is roster all relievers in leagues that have no innings minimum. Be at the top of WHIP and ERA usually is enough to score some points.

lars

3:08

what do you think of Ian Happ "post hype sleeper"?

Justin Mason

3:09

I think people are feeling really burnt by him and it's dropping his price way too far.

Keeper league draft is Friday. I have #1 pick. OBP and SLUG. Keep forever/no penalty. Albies, Devers, Torres, Moncada and Olsen are available. Who you taking?!

Justin Mason

3:09

It is between Olson and Albies for me. I lean the latter.

3:10

ICHIRO!!!!!
