Sell high on Mullins? Buy low on Alcantara?
Justin Mason
12:01
I would sell high on Mullins depending on what I got back. I would not buy low on Alcantara outside of a keeper/dynasty situation. I just don't trust the command and control returning from Tommy John

McLain, JP Crawford and Kristian Campbell, who rides the pine in an OBP league?

Campbell

Will Kershaw get many QS’s when he returns?
Justin Mason
12:02
I don't think he will get many. I expect the Dodgers to be very careful with his innings and not let him pitch into the sixth much, especially right away.

Need Saves in Roto 12T Mixed (it's rough out there)

Currently own Bednar, Megill, Shelby Miller
Rank These On Waiver Wire: Hodge, Tonoco, Vest

So...drop any for any?
Justin Mason
12:03
I would drop Miller for Hodge
NPB
12:03
We only got repeatedly no-hit by Sasaki Roki to trick you stupid Americans into thinking he was good. He’s actually our WORST pitcher! Can’t believe you idiots actually fell for it!
Justin Mason
12:04
I think we overlooked some red flags on Sasaki as an industry because we were enthralled by his youth and upside. The upside is still there and I think he will be great long term, but it will take some development.
Bob
12:04
Do you see any upside for Varsho due to increased bat speed?
Justin Mason
12:05
Until he becomes a better in-zone hitter, bat speed won't mean as much as I would like it too. sub-80% Z-Contact won't work consistently as a hitter.
Lowe
12:06
Someone in my 12t h2h w/obp dropped Brandon Lowe.  Worth picking up in place of Hoerner, Busch, or Manzardo?
Justin Mason
12:07
I could make that move for Manzardo
KC Pain
12:07
I know a ton of questions incoming on Lawler. I noticed they want to get him and Pavin in the lineup per the quote. Any of that effect Josh Naylor or is it likely all across the diamond and Pavin in OF?
Justin Mason
12:08
I would assume it's Pavin in the outfield. Hard to know what they are going to do, but they aren't bringing Lawlar up to sit
TBD
12:08
12 T 5x5 H2H keeper would you rather: H Ramos or E Carter?
Justin Mason
12:08
Ramos
BillyB

Is it time to panic on Christian Walker as my 12T 1B?
Justin Mason
12:09
I don't think so. The underlying numbers are a little down, but nothing alarming. Probably just adjusting to a new park/team. I think he will be fine
KC Pain
12:09
18 teamer dynasty 6x6. Skenes owner  wants my Naylor, Bibee, Doyle, Josue de Paula, and Painter. Too much right? Half that would be reasonable? Naylor or Doyle, Bibee, Josue De Paula or Painter?  Having a tough time with Skenes value as he has been very good but not overpoweringly elite.
Justin Mason
12:10
I feel like this is a bit much, but to get an a elite talent at such a young age in dynasty means you often have to overpay.
George
12:10
Drafted Luis Garcia Jr for a possible 20/20 with decent average. Should I hold or is it time to cut bait?
Justin Mason
12:11
Hold
Joe14
12:11
Maybe time to get back on Gavin Williams ? Deep roto
Justin Mason
12:12
Williams is going to be a pitcher that is hard to predict until he can better control his stuff. There are going to be amazing starts followed by duds. In a deep roto, it's hard to find his type of stuff on the wire, but I am not a buyer in terms of a breakout coming.
Dc
12:12
Thoughts on alcantara? Velocity is there but it’s really hard to trust him, even against weaker offenses.
Justin Mason
12:13
Velocity is always the first thing to come back after TJ. Command and control are the last. He should get better as the season goes on, but I don't know that he will be the guy we saw pre-surgery until 2026.

is it just me or are Barger's underlyings kinda nuts?
Justin Mason
12:15
Wow! That is nuts. Hitting the ball extremely hard. Making above average z-contact. xBA is .30. Pulling the ball a ton (maybe too much). I think this might be someone to stash in deeper formats or at least watch list. Great catch here!
super small sample, but intriguing
Joe14
12:16
Still holding Tylor Megill ? at NYY & BOS next. Deep mixed roto
Justin Mason
12:17
I am. Skills are great
Cheese
12:17
Start this week...  Leiter with the 2-step vs Col and Hou, or R Ray with 1 start vs Ariz?
Justin Mason
12:17
Leiter for me. Take that COL start and pray he doesn't get murdered by a beat up Astros team
Bob
12:17
Campbell has slow down especially since the injury, would you start looking to move on in a 12 team league?
Justin Mason
12:18
depends on my options, but I think I might
B. Rice
12:18
My league dropped its pitcher limit so I’m currently running 12 starters and Jose Alvarado while having empty spots at C/OF/UTIL. Is this strategy completely insane? Should I drop one of my lower end pitchers (sandy, Reese Olson, Rasmussen) for a Ramos or Nimmo?
Justin Mason
12:19
Is this a points league? how are you able to stay viable offensively? If it's points and it's working, I think it might work, but you'd have to stay healthy.
