We have a really late keeper deadline. Should I keep Spencer Torkelson at $10.
Justin Mason
10:01
Need the format and league size to answer

We have a really late keeper deadline. Should I keep Torkelson at $10.  AL-Only. $260 auction league. 4×4 (BA, HR, RBI, SB).
Justin Mason
10:02
There it is! I think that is an ok price, but it is not a must unless you are thinking more long term.
Datt Mamon

Do you think Lopez will get any save opportunities with the Twins, or is Duran the guy?
Justin Mason
10:03
I think it will be shared and very frustrating. The Twins like to use Duran in high leverage situations and that will happen outside the ninth a lot.

I can keep one: $12 Willson C., $16 Seiya, or a $10 Sewald ... do I keep one, or throw them all back in a 14 team 5X5, $260 cap?
Justin Mason
10:04
In a two catcher league, I keep Willson, in a 1 catcher league, I keep Suzuki

Who is in the last tier of OF in your rankings that you’re comfortable rolling with in your 12 team mixed league?
Justin Mason
10:05
Kelenic, Marsh, Friedl, Margot, Donovan, Fraley
Greg
10:05
How are you tracking pitcher velocities? I've been looking on StatCast and for a spreadsheet but no success. Seems like the most notable (seen a few about Syndergaard) get stories but not sure otherwise.
Justin Mason
10:05
Ive been following the work of others like Jeff Zimmerman and Jon Anderson
BrandonMcKayDylanWalsh
10:06
In what round of a standard 12 team league do O’Neil Cruz & Jazz Chisholm start becoming bargains / the price for their K & injury concerns start getting baked in?
Justin Mason
10:07
I think after pick 75 I get interested, but it is unlikely either last that long. If you have a lot of IL spots, you can bump that up considerably.
Greg
10:07
Who do you have the most shares of in your leagues this year?
Justin Mason
10:07
TJ Friedl!
BrandonMcKayDylanWalsh
10:07
What Colorado hitters do you find yourself drafting? And why are they talking about resting guys at home?!
Justin Mason
10:07
I haven't seen that they are planning on resting guys at home. I have been drafting a good amount of CJ Cron and Ryan McMahon and a little bit of Tovar.
BrandonMcKayDylanWalsh
10:08
How concerned are you about Seiya Suzuki & his oblique? I know he’s probably IL to start the year but what do you think his season-long outlook might be?
Justin Mason
10:08
I think the outlook is still pretty good, but I have knocked down his plate appearance projection to about 530
BrandonMcKayDylanWalsh
10:08
Do Jared Kelenic’s ST heroics change your projections for him at all…?
Justin Mason
10:09
Not really. I was already a buyer prior to the spring training "breakout" so I am still in on him, but I am not overpay for a few games against minor league pitching.
Buff

NL-only auction keeper, I can afford one big ticket infielder. Turner, Machado, or Albies for the next 3 years?
Justin Mason
10:09
Machado for me.
Because I assume Turner will be a lot more expensive.
Rob
10:10
I know initial tests came back negative for a concussion, but does him getting hit impact your ranking for him in an OBP league?
Justin Mason
10:10
You didn't say the player name...

Hey, Jason --

Long-time listener/reader, first-time questioner here. (Love your stuff!) Got a two-ish parter here …

Are you playing in any H2H leagues this year? If so, how has it changed your work? I’ve been in one for a while, which means I’m always taking in typical fantasy analysis and filtering it accordingly to fit my context. Put most simply? Season totals mean less; it’s really all about having your best team in place by the time the playoffs start.

I have a loaded squad in my 12-team dynasty league (AVG/OBP/R/RBI/SB) and am contemplating trading Varsho for a big piece elsewhere, while drafting Endy Rodriguez and patiently waiting for his call-up. With the above-mentioned H2H strategy difference, is this crazy or brilliant?

Thanks!
Justin Mason

I am playing in a H2H league this year! It isn't necessarily changing my approach though as I still want to dominate in the regular season. I don't think the Endy strategy is a good one. Catchers can struggle to adjust more than most prospects because there is so much that goes into calling a big league game. It is also the Pirates who have shown they will play games with service time and while we think Endy will be up at somepoint, you can put it past the Pirates to mess around with him once he is.

When is your Main Event draft this year? What's your strategy?
Justin Mason
10:13
My Main Event is on Saturday March 25th in Vegas. I am still working on my strategy, but I will definitely have a pod on it after the draft.
jonno
10:14
I can take a one year "wait and see" on Alec Bohm at $3 or Triston McKenzie at $5 and re-sign next year at $8 or $10, respectively. If you want the wait and see on the pitcher, do you like Bohm at $8 ($260, 5x5)?
Justin Mason
10:14
I think I would rather have McKenzie
Buff
10:14
NL only auction keeper, which of the following is most likely to outperform his current price over the next 3 years: O'Neill, Castellanos, Yelich, Nimmo, Happ?
Justin Mason
10:15
Happ
Brian
10:15
Is Buxton vastly underrated this year in 10/12s or am I overly optimistic? Even if he gives you 100 games isn’t he still a bargain?
Justin Mason
10:15
How many times has he played in 100 game though? Also the rise in strikeout rate crushed his average and he doesn't run like he used to. I am staying away in most formats.
