Happy TGFBI Day to all those who celebrate!
10:05
Still time to get into TGFBI satellite leagues if you want to try and win your way into the big contest next year! http://tgfbi.com/satellite-leagues/

What sort of prospect would you want in exchange for the rights to the top Japanese/KBO players (murakami, yamamoto, sasaki, etc), assuming a deep dynasty league w/ dedicated prospect slots
Justin Mason
10:06
To be quite honest, I do not know enough about NPB/KBO to give a good answer. Hit up Tim McLeod

What do you think about the red sox batting Yoshida down in the order? Good/Bad. Sox office sure looks like it could be eaten alive by a strong lefty with 5 of their top 7 hitters being lefites
Justin Mason
10:07
I think it is bad for fantasy. He doesn't profile as a great power source so I was looking forward to him leading off. I probably won't draft him again this year

Any of the non-opening day rotation ATL SP that you like? Between Morton's age, Wright's health and Soroka's return from injury, I imagine there will be an opportunity for someone to shine.
Justin Mason
10:09
I was in on Wright before the injury news. I will watch for an update before I draft him again. I am out on Soroka. Needs to prove health. Morton is a decent gamble to rebound. Strider is super enticing but the price is so high I may end up missing out.

In OBP league, what order for Justin Turner, Yoan Moncada, Anthonry Rendon, and Yandy Diaz?
Justin Mason
10:09
Turner, Diaz, Rendon, Moncada

Doing a roto with an innings limit for the first time. How many SP/RP would you typically run with a 1400 IP limit? 5-6 SP for 150 IP each then fill in the gaps with relievers?
Justin Mason
10:10
6 SPs and then relievers
JV

What are your expectations for Jose Abreu this year?  The team around him seems very positive - and while his analytics say he is still a great hitter it does worry me that he struggled against fastballs and lost a lot of power.
Justin Mason
10:10
He would have had 22 homers in Houston last year, I expect something close to that. He is a value in drafts.
Dan
10:10
Using SV+HD as a single category should push down closers a ton, right?
Justin Mason
10:10
Yes because holds are easy to find

Two HR Sunday... are we doing Jarred Kelenic things again?!
Justin Mason
10:11
I am! I also don't want to go overboard. One big game should make you increase the price you were willing to pay last week.
Paddy
10:11
If you load up on bats, how late are you willing to wait for an SP1? Framber/Fried/Darvish too late?
Justin Mason
10:12
I am totally fine doing that. I have a league where I started out with Both Darvish and Fried in a league and really liked it.
KevinT
10:12
Any thoughts on any late power options? I am having trouble finding people besides Nolan Jones and Adam Duvall after pick 300?
Justin Mason
10:14
Nelson Cruz, Isaac Parades, Brandon Belt, Drew Waters. It is not as easy as it used to be.
Dan
10:14
Yaz, Joc, or Conforto your favored Giant OF? How do you expect PT to shake out?
Justin Mason
10:14
Joc platoons and likely so does Conforto a bit. The DH will be used a lot for these guys.
KevinT
10:14
Great work with Podapolooza! You are a great person and all your work is greatly appreciated
Justin Mason
10:14
Thank you! it was a blast!

NFBC is a huge outlier on Nico Hoerner, of all people (135 overall). Everywhere else, he's 180ish- Any idea why the sharps love him and are paying such a premium?
Justin Mason
10:16
Elite contact skills, may lead off, will gain 2B eligibility quickly and has speed on a team that likes to run. I am in on the hype.
Colton
10:16
Good morning Justin! Hope you're well today. Trying to decide on a back up third baseman right now, have Hayes, Justin Turner, Brett Baty and Jung are the one's I've narrowed it down to. I'll get all of these guys right at the minimum, is there one in particular that stands out to you?
Justin Mason
10:17
I like all four, but Hayes has the speed at a position that doesn't offer much. If you don't need speed, Jung is my favorite
Mickey Rivers Cuomo
10:17
Better one-dimensional SB threat: Myles Straw or Esteury Ruiz?
Justin Mason
10:17
Straw because his defense will keep him playing.
I like Ruiz and he could be great, but he is just as likely to be a version of what Straw was last season on a much worse team in a much worse park.

Detmers?
Justin Mason
10:18
I like Detmers, but I haven't drafted a ton of him yet. Waiting to see if the Angels roll with a 6-man rotation.
Dan
10:18
Heliot Ramos going to be good enough to use a roster spot on in 2024?
Justin Mason
10:18
Probably not.

Jason Heyward swing change, if he lands the Dodgers CF gig post- post- post-hype sleeper?
