Hello! I need steals in a 12 team mixed h2h category league. Scott or nunez?
Justin Mason
12:00
Nunez for me.
Taco Grande

I know, too soon to panic. Still… is it too soon to replace Saves options of Jax and Abreu with Baker and/or Leiter? What about in SHOLDS leagues? Thanks.
Justin Mason
12:01
I think Jax is droppable, but unless youre going to just try and lock up Houston's saves by getting Baker, I don't know that it's worth it.
Ashcraft
12:01
Am I a keeper?   would you keep me over Ryne Nelson?
Justin Mason
12:01
I think he could be, but I prefer Nelson

OBP league. 1 or 2 odd men out of: Barger Manzardo C.Smith C.Young Polanco Shaw
Justin Mason
12:02
I think it's Young for me, but I wouldn't mind holding him and dropping Barger considering Barger got hurt last night
Oof
12:02
Hey Justin, in a 10-team points league, how would you rank Wilyer Abreu, Jordan Walker, and Jung Hoo Lee (he was top 25 last year at OF)? Is there an obvious top 2 or favorite for you?
Justin Mason
12:03
Ok, so for a point league, I would just run your favorite projection system through something like the auction calculator to see if there is an obvious answer the problem with points leagues is every league is different based on what the scoring parameters are.
Bench roles
12:04
I have both Logan Henderson & Klassen as reeves with both getting a taste this week in the bigs.  How long until either return as regular s at the major league level?
Justin Mason
12:05
I think there is a chance Henderson is back up quickly since he is performing well in the minors and Sproat is struggling. I think Klassen needs more time in the minors.
Roster crunch
12:06
12 team redraft, we just added a single Keeper this year for the 1st time. I'm loaded at OF but couldn't resist picking up Jordan Walker with his hot start to see if he can keep it up. But he's not the only youngin off to a hot start. Cam Smith is cooking too and has 3 in Coors the next 3 days. Who do you like better there? I'm thinking they're both probably smoke and mirrors, but hey, young players can and do get better, right?
Justin Mason
12:06
I think I prefer Walker just because his role is safer. Both should be rostered though in most 12s.

Hi, 14 tm 6x6 h2h (OBP, HR, R, RBI, TB, SB, ERA, WHIP, K, W, QS, SV/HOLD)... was offered K. Brandish & I. Herrera for my M. King & J. Caglianone, is the pitching upgrade worth it with my current C being A. Ramirez and Jac being my current DH and I would need to find a BU OF, my staff has been hit hard already with Lodolo, Greene and G. Cole on it
Justin Mason
12:08
I think that's fair, but I want the Cags side
Kate
12:08
How much are you buying what Emerson Hancock is selling?
Justin Mason
12:10
I am buying it somewhat. Velo is up and the stuff is grading out better than it ever has. It's still a small sample, but Seattle is a great place to pitch so even when he levels out some, he will be protected some.
Broken Bat
12:10
i get that players will experience hitting slumps. They are random in nature, and then the hitter pops back to  But what do you think when basically an entire team slumps at same time coming out of ST, is it a reflection on team concepts- drills or a virus like a bad cold? Looking at you Seattle.
Justin Mason
12:11
If this was happening in June, would you even notice? Probably not. I am not worried at all.
Kate
12:11
What are the odds Mark Leiter runs with the closer role for the As?  Or is this just a committee all year?
Justin Mason
12:11
I think it is a committee all season.
Kate
12:12
How long do we think Kirk is going to be out?
Justin Mason
12:12
I believe he is being evaluated today so we should get news, but I would guess 4-8 weeks.
What?
12:12
Per Yahoo, there were 8 Adds of Yordan Alvarez today. What sort of weird league would have Alvarez on waivers?
Justin Mason
12:12
People do weird things.
Ben Johnson
12:12
Jordan Walker is here.
Justin Mason
12:13
I really want to believe and the underlying numbers are in line with what we want to see, but I am not jumping on the train quite yet.

I'm in a 15-team NL-AL points league that counts holds, so setup guys with good ratios are great. My RPs (Seranthony D, Chris Martin, and Keller) have been meh so far. Would any of Winn, Soto, Stanek or Sabrowski be a clear upgrade? Thanks.
Justin Mason
12:14
I think Soto and Winn are upgrades over Martin and Keller
Pistol Pete
12:14
Hey Justin, J. Marsee was just dropped in my 12 teamer for Jordan Walker. Thoughts on his ROS outlook? I know he has started cold.
Justin Mason
12:14
Not worried about Marsee at all. I would for sure pick him up.
Jake
12:14
How would you rank Soroka, Taj, and Mize? And think I'll regret not scooping up Cam Smith if it meant dropping Adolis Garcia now?
Justin Mason
12:14
Mize, Taj, Soroka
TheGoodLand
12:14
10t, 6x6, roto.  Better bench bat: Varsho vs. Colt Keith vs. Gimenez.  More need for speed but not desperate.
Justin Mason
12:14
Keith for me
AD
12:14
Hi Justin! Any shot the Cubs stretch out Brown with Horton out for a while?
Justin Mason
12:14
I think they go with Rea
Pistol Pete
12:14
Is Bryan King a good add until Hader returns in 3 weeks or will they still trot out Abreu?
