Hey everyone! Let’s have some fun. Today’s chat will likely only be 30-40 minutes as I am pretty jet lagged from vacation. Please give me format and size of leagues for context. Just a reminder that I will answer as many questions as I can, but please don’t repeat questions. If I can’t get to your questions then hit me up on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008744507752 or on twitter @justinmasonfwfb.

How do I value odor in a redraft league? What type of closer is a reasonable ask in a trade?
Justin Mason
9:00
I still value Odor pretty highly. Would be looking for a guy like Morrow or Hand
Pollack replacement
9:01
Hi and thanks, Justin. Looking to replace the lost Runs and SBs, and some of the pop, now that Pollock is banged up. 10 team, H2H. Buxton, Braun, Kingery on the wire. Preference among those?
Justin Mason
9:01
Prefer Braun unless you are shooting the moon and believe Buxton can turn it around

Gausman velocity looking better, is he a potential buy high?
Justin Mason
9:02
I am always a sucker for him. Some people might think they should get out from under him, so I am buying.

8 team roto, only 3 bench spots.  do i need to continue to stash berrios and quintana and hope for better results? what about buxton? thinking of swapping him out for Brett Gardner off waivers
Justin Mason
9:02
With only three bench spots in a league that size, I am fine cutting bait on anyone I didn't take in the top 40-50

My Archer for his Corbin and Simmons (Seager replacement for me).  Corbin's velo issues got me worried, but Archer is killing me.  Do I pull the trigger?
Justin Mason
9:03
No. Corbin scares me
cool 2
Slamboni

10 tm roto AL only. The OF I have amassed consists of Betts, Trout, JDM, Deshields. Should I try to swap Mookie for Sale and another OFer? Or ride this out until I stack up stats and then try for that deal?
Justin Mason
9:03
I would do that deal if I needed the pitching.

What type of SP would you target if you're looking to flip Realmuto in a 12 team league?
Justin Mason
9:04
Bauer, McCullers etc
Ray of Hope

Chris Archer has never been amazing, but he's also never been this bad. What gives?
Justin Mason
9:05
I think there are some pitch mix and sequencing issues going on as well as getting unlucky. I am holding or buying. I think he figures it out.

Justin - R McMahon is up in a few days and produces.  Buying or selling?  And would you rather have him or Kinsler as a backup to Odor?
Justin Mason
9:05
Depends on the extent of the Lemaheiu injury. I would still rather have Kinsler because that playing time is for sure.
QMan

Correa for Torres and Vlad Jr in 10 team keep forever- Al lineup- 8 category : standard 5 + obp, slug, ks- which side do u like better?
Justin Mason
9:06
Correa unless I am rebuilding and then it is still really close. Would depend on how many keepers I got.
Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe
9:07
Have pitching depth in a 10-teamer (W,L,QS) and jettisoned Robbie Ray with Adam Eaton for a third rounder and Jake Faria. Any reason I shouldn't dump Faria over a guy like Newcomb or Buehler?
Justin Mason
9:07
I prefer Faria to Newcomb, but Buehler is compelling, if he can build innings in starts. In a 10-teamer, he is the upside play I want.

Gotta clear some roster space to accommodate players coming off the DL/NA slot.  Cutting two from positions where I have a glut: Jose Martinez, Gregory Polanco, Conforto, Fulmer, Pivetta, Soroka, Flaherty.
Justin Mason
9:08
Fulmer and Soroka
Donner

Trade my Olson for his Cozart? Lost Corey Seagor and have been looking for a replacement. OFs are Franchy, Marte, Polanco, Soler, and Margot
Justin Mason
9:08
sure
Matt
9:08
Do you feel more confident in Domingo Santana or Byron Buxton heating up, and when? And is Matt Olson droppable based on what you expect for HR and BA (I have Smoak and Moreland and Bird on the DL)? Thanks Justin!
Justin Mason
9:09
That is risk vs reward. I think Buxton has the upside, but the lesser chance he gets there. If you are shooting for the moon go with Buxton. If not, Santana
High 5 Ghost

Thanks for the chat Justin!

I’m tinkering with my IF in a 12 team league that counts BB. Can you rank these guys ROS? Thanks!

Gallo, Suarez , Davidson, Bour, Martinez, Chapman

Tiger Balm

Is Christin Stewart a must own prospect for the second half?  He is smashing in AAA (non PCL), and seems to combine improving K% with superb power.
Justin Mason
9:10
In deeper formats, he is worth the stash, but he may not even get the call if the Tigers don't want to start his clock.
Jomaha
9:10
Is Pillar a better SB play than Michael A Taylor at  this point?
Justin Mason
9:10
No
Sandy Ravage
9:11
10 team mixed standard roto. I am leading HRs by a decent amount, should I move Stanton for Severino and a replacement bat or am I under/overvaluing both players in that deal?
Justin Mason
9:11
I like that deal. Win the league not every trade.
Sabo Knows Bo
9:11
Heaney looking like a legit SP4. Is SP3 his ceiling?
Justin Mason
9:11
I think SP3 is his ceiling. Don't forget that he was a top prospect before being traded twice in a day and getting hurt.
Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe
9:12
Evan Gattis coming up clutch with the steal this weekend! But what I'd really like is some solid power from the catcher spot. Is he worth keeping in an OBP league? Hundley, Suzuki, Barnhart, Gomes, Lucroy on the wire...
