Buying in on Myles Straw?  Is he the real deal this year?
Justin Mason
10:01
I'm buying that he can get a crap ton of stolen bases. The average could be halfway decent because of all the contact he makes, but there is a good probability that it regresses back to what we saw last season.

12 team, NL only, how much of a leash does Ezekiel Tovar get?
Justin Mason
10:02
I think he will get a fair amount of rope. No reason for them to pull the plug early. It is the Rockies, but they already have him up and playing

14 team 6x6 OPS league - drafted Hoskins originally, but who are you rolling with going forward? Wil Myers, Garrett Cooper, Gallo, Vosler, Harold Ramirez. The options are not great.
Justin Mason
10:03
I am rolling with Myers for now put you may just want to stream that spot untl you find someone good
Captain Awesome

What do you expect from Domingo German this week (2 starts)?  Cut bait if it doesn't go well this week?
Justin Mason
10:03
It is not an awful two start matchup so if he isn't good, then I would cut bait

Justin, I just had to pick up Donovan Solano in AL Tout. But he's been hitting clean-up, so am I not totally screwed there?
Justin Mason
10:04
Anyone with a pulse in AL Only can work. Hopefully this is a short term solution for you lol
Captain Awesome
10:04
Hope you are well; how are your NFBC main event teams doing?
Justin Mason
10:05
So far, I am doing well. My Auction league is going pretty well (2nd place and top 20 overall) and My main event is competitive (3rd place in the league). Pitching is the only real issue on those teams and I am going to need to grind that.

In an 12 team AL only with 3 priority adds/year, should I use 1 of my 3 priority adds on Jhony Brito, Akil Baddoo or Matt Vierling? Brito would be a pure block, whereas Baddoo or Vierling would be somewhat needed, as I lost Siri and Stowers last weekend(although could add 2 other outfielders very easily with lower priority add, which are infinite/year)
Justin Mason
10:06
I think I would go with Vierling because his role is safer.

Would you drop Rodolfo Castro to add Francisco Alvarez? How about Steer?
Justin Mason
10:06
If I needed a catcher, I would. The upside is immense.

Do you think we'll ever see Pete Alonso and Pete Crow-Armstrong play on the same team?
Justin Mason
10:06
PRobably not lol
SamskiNYC
10:06
Will the Nationals play Stone Garrett regularly? It feels like he kind of deserves it
Justin Mason
10:07
Probably not, but I would love to give him a chance. The skills are shaky, but the upside is tantalizing.

Justin - Do you expect Wiemer to stay in MIL lineup and possibly move up in the order?  Thx.
Justin Mason
10:07
If he can keep hitting he will, but the strike outs may become a problem long term.
Matt
10:07
Understanding that it's been 10 days into the season, are we nervous about Josh Bell at all? I was higher on him than most analysts, but he seems to really be struggling right now
Justin Mason
10:08
I think it is a bit too early to panic. There are some concerns though. The Z-Contact is down and Swinging Strike Rate is up. I think he will be fine, but I am watching this. A good day or two and all of a sudden he's back to being good, so don't panic yet.

Desperate for OF help. Would you trade Strider knowing he’s an injury risk for someone like Arozerena?
Justin Mason
10:09
I don't have an issue with that.
Matt
10:09
You think Finnegan is losing the closer role?
Justin Mason
10:09
I think it is a fluid situation.
AJ
10:09
Sell J. Baez after his first solid to big week?
Justin Mason
10:10
I guess. Baez is who he is. He will have hot streaks and cold streaks. If you can't handle those then sell once he gets hot.
Sporgrrr
10:10
You starting Contreraa
Justin Mason
10:10
no
Jo Adell
10:10
you see me?  do you see me helping an AL only team this year?
Justin Mason
10:11
Probably not. There is too much development needed.

Is Charlie Morton and/or Jack Flaherty worth a free agent add in a 10 team Fangraphs points league that starts 5 SP?
Justin Mason
10:11
Morton over Flaherty.

I'm in a 14-team H2H dynasty and have Casas at 1B; who do you like better to pair with him now and long term: Dom Smith or Alex Kirilloff?
Justin Mason
10:11
Now: Dom Smith. Long term: neither?
JOHNNYHELLER

Time for dart throws - Is Alvarado going to get saves for PHIL? Who is the best choice in Washington? - C Edwards or H Harvey (assuming Finnegan loses the gig)?
