Hey everyone! Let’s have a great chat today! 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.
Von Hayes

Any idea what is wrong with Carlos Martinez? Any chance he is still hurt?
Justin Mason
9:01
I think they may have rushed him back a bit. I hope he is just still building up arm strength and not hurting, but I did trade him recently in Tout.
Wig
9:01
Hiya Justin... would you trade Vlady Jr for Albies?
Justin Mason
9:01
If I was competing this year I would for sure.

What is your outlook on the Yankees rotation once Tanaka gets healthy enough to return? Will a tough decision have to be made between German and Lasagna or do you potentially see a 6 man rotation?
Justin Mason
9:02
I think Loaisiga loses out. A six man rotation might work, but I don't know that they want to do that necessarily.
Klew
9:02
Need to drop either Hamels or Taillon. Which guy?
Justin Mason
9:03
Hamels.
Matty P

Lance Lynn a good streamer today in a 10 team mixer?
Justin Mason
9:03
I think there is a real chance weather postpones that game. Otherwise he would be.
Andy

You starting Junis tonight vs. the brewers?
Justin Mason
9:03
nope

Hey Justin - I’m in a dynasty keep forever league and was recently offered my berrios and jalen beeks for his wil Myers Willie Calhoun and his (probably) late first round pick in next years supplemental draft (think a prospect ranked in the 40’s to 50’s). I’m currently in  a rebuild cycle but hoping to compete by 2020. Thoughts?
Justin Mason
9:05
Don't love it, but I am a big Calhoun fan. You should get more for Berrios considering his age and growth.
Webster
9:05
Who would you rather have RoS: Joey Bats or LoMo?
Justin Mason
9:05
Gulp... Lomo I guess.
Andy

12 team mixed head to head league. What the hell do I do with odorizzi?  He’s been awful. Thinking of dropping him to stream Kuhl vs. Mets tonight. Thoughts?
Justin Mason
9:05
I have no issue dropping Odorizzi.
Tim
9:06
Have you lost any confidence in Paxton after his last two starts, or do you see that as just two tough matchups and expect him to resume his previous dominance?
Justin Mason
9:06
I think he will be fine. As long as he is healthy, he is a top 20 pitcher.
Jay
9:06
You taking a flier on Joey Bats at this point?  .924 OPS over the last month across 78 PA's.
Justin Mason
9:06
Nope.
Matty P
9:06
Thoughts on Freddy Peralta?
Justin Mason
9:07
I think he belongs in the bullpen long term. Struggles with command and a lack of a third pitch. Streamable versus bad teams, but there will be unexpected blowups.

Help me feel okay about dropping Eric Thames? I would slot D Murph into the lineup instead. Projections just say ‘meh’ about Mr Muscles.
Justin Mason
9:08
Thames is a power only guy. Right now he has playing time, so if you can afford the average woes, he has value.
Jay
9:08
Do the Rangers ever bump The Dentist up from the 9 hole?  Ridiculous that he's batting this low
Justin Mason
9:09
If he continues to hit like he has in June, he should. The May numbers are still influencing the lineup it looks like.
Kev
9:09
Any confidence that Dozier will rebound (again)?
Justin Mason
9:09
I do. I would be patient.
Wig
9:09
Jon Gray is better than his rank right now... his BABIP is .380... right?
Justin Mason
9:10
He has to be, but he is a guy that pitches in Coors and still makes bad choices in pitches. He has to rebound, but I don't know that he "
figures it out" this season.
Rouse
9:10
ETA for Eloy? Vlad Jr.?
Justin Mason
9:11
Next year for both, with a small chance for a September call up this year.
Al
9:11
Which team are you supporting the world cup?
Justin Mason
9:11
I don't watch soccer.
Daniel L
9:12
Is Manny Margot turning it around? What should we expect from him for the rest of the year?
Justin Mason
9:14
Looks like it, but that comes with a caveat. In spite of hitting .348/.416/.565 in June, he has been caught on all four stolen base attempts. That being said, he is hitting the ball really hard right now and getting it in the air, so I think we can expect maybe 5-10 homers and 10+ stolen bases the rest of the way with like a .270 average.
Rick
9:14
Shelby Miller (great baseball name) hit 97mph with his heater last night...assuming it takes him a few turns through the rotation to get his control back, think he can be a decent contributor in the second half?
