Chat will begin at the top of the hour as long have enough questions. In the meantime, please follow me on all my social media’s (twitter, tiktok, facebook, youtube, bluesky, mastodon, threads, post, and instagram) at JustinMasonFWFB! I am doing regular podcasts on the FWFB podcast as well as three episodes a week for the Sleeper and the Bust so definitely make sure you are subscribed there as well!
Tony Touch

How much faith do you have in Ke'Bryan to finish the season as a fantasy contributor?
Justin Mason
10:02
I have a fair amount of faith though I am biased because I have always loved him. Since returning form the IL, he is hitting the ball hard and making a lot of contact. He is even lifting it more which is encouraging.

Would you rather have Kim or De La Cruz ROS? Points League format.
Justin Mason
10:03
I can't believe I am going to say this, but I think the answer is Kim, but I can't imagine dropping DLC
Bert & Ernie
10:03
Berti has a pretty good statline this season but doesn't get consistent AB's. I keep him around in hopes he gets some play and goes on a SB heater. Am I fooling myself?
Justin Mason
10:04
Seems to always happen, but I think on a team competing for a playoff spot his opportunities will be less than in years past.

R U comfortable throwing Manaea @ Phiily today. Also would you throw Detmers vs Cin. tomorrow?
Justin Mason
10:05
I would not use MAnaea at Philly. I am using Detmers tomorrow in Tout, but that is largely because we have to start guys we pick up in the first week after getting them. I would probably pass otherwise.
Catcher & the Rye
10:05
5x5 roto - which Catcher do you like best ROS and/or for the next 2 weeks. Kirk, Jeffers, Knizer, Campusano, Stephenson, Gomes. I need AVG/RBI/SB the most. Thx!
Justin Mason
10:07
Probably  Campusano, but I don't love any of the options. Is O'Hoppe available

Do you suspect Yainer Diaz to receive similar playing time next season, and does he retain his power production in his sophomore season?
Justin Mason
10:07
I think he can as long as the Astros move on from Maldanado.
Jorge
10:08
Is Amed Rosario going to get enough AB's to be relevant in LA or is he a drop in a standard 5x5 roto?
Justin Mason
10:08
He is a drop. Only really playing versus lefties
Giants Fan
10:08
Expectations for Marco Luciano next season and career?
Justin Mason
10:09
I like Luciano if he can stay healthy. I don't think he plays much rest of this season, but with Crawford likely gone next year, I could see him being an everyday player that hits for power and has a low average.
bobsuruncle
10:10
What type of production do you think we could expect for Lawrence Butler next season?
Justin Mason
10:11
I think he could be a strong side platoon guy that flashes power and speed at the top of the lineup for the A's. The question is how much contact can he make. So far he is making enough that the tools can translate so I am watching how he finishes down the stretch
Insert Witty Name Here
10:13
On the last day of the season when I win my league, I drop all my players and add players that would get a chuckle or two. Which players that are available to add would you think would be funny this year?
Justin Mason
10:14
Buck Farmer, Justus Sheffield, Touki Toussant
Speedy Gonzalez
10:14
Is Dairon Blanco going to get enough AB's for his SB numbers to be relevant ROS?
Justin Mason
10:14
It doesn't feel like it.
B'ryce Hammer
10:14
Clinched playoff berth in my home league this weekend. But I'm a little concerned about Vladdy Jr. coming into the last couple weeks before it matters. Please give me some hope that he suddenly becomes VLAD again?
Justin Mason
10:14
I still believe in the talent and think he should be fine as long as this finger issue isn't anything big.
bobsuruncle
10:15
Chase Silseth's plate discipline reminds me of rookie McClanahan. Do you think he's a guy who can keep his contact% below 70 for a full season?
Justin Mason
10:16
I don't think so, but that doesn't mean he can't be a very good fantasy pitcher. He gets league average contact and while the swinging strike rate isn't elite, the caught strike rate is very impressive and I think it is a skill of sorts.
Believe in the Jesus Lizard?
10:16
What's the leash on Luzardo? Someone dropped him in our league and I scooped him up for the H2H playoff run off waivers. Bigger or smaller leash than Logan Allen or Braxton Garrett?
Justin Mason
10:17
I would prefer Garrett, but I think I take Luzardo's upside over Allen. There is risk/reward with Luzardo, but the upside is so immense, he should be rostered in all formats.
Nats
10:17
Finnegan looking a little shakey the last few games. Harvey looks good since coming off the IL. Could Hunter take the closing gig back?
Justin Mason
10:17
He absolutely could. If Harvey hadn't gotten hurt, I think this would have been his job.
Suzanne
10:18
Any thoughts on whether Rhys Hoskins is a decent IL stash (or not) for next yr in my keeper?
Justin Mason
10:18
I think he is an ok one, but where he ends up in free agency will determine a lot of his value, so there is a far amount of risk in stashing him.

Need to pick 1 or 2 of Lynn @Cle, BiBee @Tor, Webb vATL, Greene @Ari. (then chasing S+H and WHIP with my other slots)
Justin Mason
10:19
Lynn and Webb

MJ Melendez has been excellent since the break. Is this just some due luck or is he showing off somewhat improved skills?
Justin Mason
10:21
I think most of it was he was so unlucky in the first half that he was bound to rebound. This is much closer to his true talent level. I also think that moving to the outfield full time has allowed him to focus more on his hitting.
Cal Ripken Sr.
10:21
Is Anthony Santander underappreciated? He's no stud obviously, but his 30HR 90-100RBI bat with a decent .255-.265 AVG seems boringly awesome!
Justin Mason
10:21
He absolutely is! I love Santander and have him on a number of teams. Especially with power being down a bit, a guy that you can pencil in for 30 homers without killing your average is really valuable.

Eloy Jimenez's power has been hiding away this season, should we respond similarly to Guerrero Jr.'s situation?
