What do you think realistic results are for Murakami and Imai?  Do you think either becomes all-star caliber players?
Justin Mason
12:03
I have a hard time seeing Murakami becoming an allstar. There just seems to be a lot of swing and miss. I do think he can hit 30 homers, but I think it will come at the expense of his batting average.

Imai is a bit different. I don't know if he is amazing out of the gate, but he has a full arsenal and good command. Has looked good so far in spring, so I am more in on him as a #2 or #3 for fantasy.

JJ Wetherholt has to become an everyday player from the start of the season, right?  Too much potential impact.
Justin Mason
12:03
yeah, I think he is making this team and playing every day.
Honkus Wagner
12:03
Please help me decide my final keeper. Spencer Schwellenbach (24th round) Addison Barger (26th round) Cade Horton (26th round)

Barger

I know we don’t read too much into spring, but am I back?
Justin Mason
12:04
I think he is. Maybe not back all the way to 2023 levels but he is better than he showed last season.

Is Konnor Griffin a no doubt keeper in a keep forever league?  10 tm keep 6 with no penalty.
Justin Mason
12:05
absolutely

I joined my first Auction league. 1) any general advice? 2) when setting auction values with the auction calculator, should i specifically set the budget to 70% hitters and 30% hitters or should I learn there true value and just be careful in the draft? What am getting wrong? Thanks!
Justin Mason
12:08
Have good values. run your favorite projections through auction software. I use Smart Fantasy Baseball. I tend to do somewhere between 65-70% hitters depending on the room I am in. NFBC is closer to 65% while traditional home leagues are closer to 70%. Be patient. People who stay disciplined win in auction leagues. if prices are too expensive early, that means more deals in the middle. The shallower the league, the more aggressive you should be on the top end talent.

Drew Rasmussen is a must keep at $6 over Addison Barger at same price in a 14-team obp mixed league where basically all aces are already kept? Right?
Justin Mason
12:08
I think so.
Matt

Grade my trade (12 tm roto dynasty; OBP/TB): my $20 Trea Turner, $3 Xavier Edwards and minor league draft pick 3.06 for $18 Bregman & $7 CJ Abrams. I had Perdomo already, so Abrams is upside move and I needed a 3B

Is Luke Keaschall for real, or is this another Edouard Julien level mirage from a Twins 2b?
Justin Mason
12:10
I think he's better than Julien, but I am also not as in on Keaschall as others. He profiles to me like an accumulator on a bad team. Could he be Jeremy Pena like, I think so, but I don't see the massive upside that others do.
Dynasty first
12:10
Hey! So I have my dynasty inaugural draft tonight… please rank these players (I have the 8th pick) 1) Elly De La Cruz 2) Corbin Carroll 3) Junior Caminero 4) Julio Rodriguez 5) Fernando Tatis Jr 6) Nick Kurtz 7) Vlad Guerrero Jr
Justin Mason
12:11
Carroll, Caminero, Elly, Julio, Vlad, Tatis, Kurtz
Honkus Wagner
12:11
in 5 years who will be the better in Justin Mason’s mind: Konnor Griffin or Kevin McGonigle
Justin Mason
12:11
Griffin and not close
Keeper Q
12:11
12-team 5x5 roto league with an auction draft, trying to decide between my last keeper at $6: McLean or Sheehan. Who ya got?
Justin Mason
12:11
McLean and not close
Bad Halo Player
12:11
I sat next to a wildly knowledgeable older woman at a Bucs game last summer.  Is there any chance Justin Mason is her ghost writing pseudonym?  And how should we value Konnor Griffin in redraft?
Justin Mason
12:13
I am probably not drafting Griffin in redraft leagues unless I am in a room where he is going outside of the top 150 and I can stash him. That could change if we hear he is making the team, but I don't see that happening.

12-teamer mixed-league standard Roto, trying to set my five keepers.  I’ve had Freddy Freeman since I took over this team years ago, but is it time to throw him back into the pool?
Sorry, didn’t realize “enter” would send rather than line-break.  Here’s my keeper candidates:  Juan Soto, Jackson Chourio, Cal Raleigh, Riley Greene, the aforementioned Freddie Freeman, Randy Arozarena, Jeremy Pena, Christopher Sanchez, Jacob Misiorowski
Justin Mason
12:13
I would keep Sanchez over Freeman.
Frank
12:13
I have the third pick in my dynasty draft… should I take Skenes or Juan Soto?
Justin Mason
12:13
Soto

How high would u take Judge in a dynasty draft? Ahead of Nick Kurtz?
Justin Mason
12:14
so this comes down to strategy that you want to employ. I am a win-now guy. I would take Judge all day, but that's because I don't typically play for the future.

What’s your projection for him this year?
Justin Mason
12:16
30/10 with a .235
John

Could you please rank these catchers for a points league where ABs are -1 points, R and RBI are 2, H are 4, SB are 5 and HR are 6? Rutschman, Alvarez, Diaz, Moreno, Jensen, Ballesteros
Justin Mason
12:17
Diaz, Rutschman, Alvarez, Moreno, Ballesteros, Jensen.
Acuña Matata
12:17
Hi Justin, thanks for doing these especially as draft season kicks into high gear. I'm in a 10 team H2H Keeper Cats league (with way too many hitting and pitching cats but I digress). My keepers are Acuña (1st round), Soto (11th round), Vlad Jr (10th round), Turner (4th round), Harper(5th round), Raleigh(8th round), Michael Harris (21st round), and Chris Sanchez (13th round). Who would you go with in the 2nd round (thinking pitcher if either Yamamoto or Gilbert is available) or just going best available hitter. Thoughts?
Justin Mason
12:18
Yamamoto
