Justin Mason’s Baseball Chat – June 3rd, 2024
Here is today’s chat transcript:
9:49 |
: Chat will begin shortly. In the meantime, please follow me on all my social media’s (twitter, tiktok, facebook, youtube, bluesky, mastodon, threads, post, and instagram) at JustinMasonFWFB! I am doing regular podcasts on the FWFB podcast as well as three episodes a week for the Sleeper and the Bust so definitely make sure you are subscribed there as well! |
10:00 |
: Top X hitter you’d look to acquire in a 1 for 1 for acuna in a keep forever dynasty league |
10:01 |
: I think I would still want a top 10 hitter. |
10:01 |
Otto Lopez or Heliot Ramos or to stash Cade Povich? : In a 15 team keeper, would you drop Suwinski to pickup |
10:02 |
: I would drop Suwinski for Lopez if I needed help now. I think Povich is the higher upside play so if I don’t need the immediate help, I would go with him |
10:02 |
: Seems like the last few trade deadlines have been quieter than past trade deadlines. Do you see the same this year? Are there many big names on the move this year? |
10:07 |
: The addition of more playoff teams means that less teams may sell because it is easier to get in the playoffs. That being said, I think there are a number of interesting potential sellers. The Blue Jays could move guys like Bichette, Bassitt, and Kikuchi. The White Sox could move guys like Eloy, Pham, Fedde and Robert. Tampa Bay could move Civale or Littell. The Mets should move JD Martinez and Marte. The Cardinals should move Goldy, Lynn and Gibson |
10:08 |
: Would you consider Swanson, Rafaela, Soler, Langford, Rizzo or Friedl as upgrades over J. Bell, O. Cruz, or Adell? |
10:08 |
: I would take Swanson and Langford over Bell and Adell |
10:08 |
: What tier of hitter would you be looking for in exchange for Skenes? |
10:08 |
: I would want a top 50 hitter in a redraft. Maybe even top 25. |
10:09 |
: Will Cade Povich be an impact SP right off the bat, or will so-so velo trip him up vs MLB hitters, whenever he gets called up? |
10:10 |
: I think any pitcher in Baltimore can be impact considering the park and run support. If Povich can consistently go 5, there are a lot of wins to be had along with those strikeouts. |
10:10 |
: Hey Justin, i picked up Moore in a shallow points league hoping the hot stretch would continue especially since he has 4 position eligibility. He then put up about 2 points on the week. Is it safe to jump ship for a Friedl or Donovan? |
10:10 |
: Grab Friedl |
10:10 |
: 12 teamer, Jansen or Heim ros? |
10:10 |
: Heim |
10:11 |
Hunter Brown, Nestor Cortez, Reese Olson. Gavin Stone! Please rank and any comments welcomed! Thanks! : Hi! 12-tm H2H categories w IL returnees, need to drop two of |
10:11 |
: That is tough. Brown and Stone I think are the drops. Cortes, Olson, Stone, Brown |
10:11 |
Henry Davis as a bench bat in a weekly league? : Who are you adding Norby or |
10:11 |
: Norby |
10:12 |
: What’s wrong with me? |
10:14 |
: He is putting the ball on the ground too much. Most everything else is looking fine. Still makes a lot of contact and hits the ball hard. The launch angle is up over the last month so maybe we see some improvement soon? |
10:14 |
: Do you see any value for Edwin Diaz left this year? The injury is obviously secondary to the role and skills |
10:14 |
: I think that if he is healthy, he is the closer. Health is the major concern for me |
10:15 |
: Am I nuts for thinking about offering Arozarena for Kwan in a dynasty league? Im competing and could use the AVG. Or should I hold and hope on a rebound? Thanks |
10:15 |
: I love Randy, but I think at this point, I would take Kwan especially if I needed the average help |
10:16 |
Brenton Doyle or TJ Friedl to activate R. Lewis. With whom should I part ways? : 12 tm OBP league, I need to cut |
10:16 |
: I would hate to cut either. Can you trade one? If I had to I think it is Doyle |
10:16 |
: Would you drop Tork for
|
10:16 |
: I’d grab Raley for Tork |
10:17 |
Aaron Judge and Mitch Keller are being traded for Marcell Ozuna and Grayson Rodriguez. I should ask the commissioner to veto this trade, right? : 12 team 5×5, |
10:18 |
: I don’t believe in vetoing trades unless there is provable collusion. Everyone has the right to make deals that they feel are in the best interest of their teams. Value is subjective and if both parties can defend why they are making a move, you shouldn’t veto a trade. |
10:19 |
: 18 dynasty 6×6 any deep sleepers at 2B? Lost Julien and I do have Norby but am scared of PT. Top 2B on WW is Triolo, N. Lopez, and Mateo. Any suggestions? |
10:20 |
Brett Wisely is playing well in SF. If Mateo is healthy, I probably take him for his speed, but he may have a concussion from Mullins hitting him in the head. : |
10:20 |
Dansby Swanson 8th in the lineup? You’re paying this guy 26 million to produce from the bottom of the lineup…come on man : Could someone explain why the Cubs insist on batting |
10:21 |
: Because he is struggling and the lineup is good. He will move his way back up at some point |
10:21 |
: Can you rank Weather, Paddack, and Scott in a points format (that rewards extra points for QS)? |
10:23 |
: Scott would be first if he hadn’t been demoted. I would say Weathers, Paddack, Scott, but if you can afford to stash, Scott has the best upside |
10:23 |
: What is up with the Naylors? Complete BA collapse of Josh. Bo…well worse but not unexpected. |
10:24 |
: Josh is getting unlucky. He has a .205 BABIP when he is a career .285 guy. He will be better. Bo needs to go down to AAA. There isn’t much in the profile to say he is going to turn things around |
10:24 |
: which 2 are you starting out of this quartet: Flaherty @TEX, HGreene vCHC, Eflin @MIA maybe?, Soriano vSD? |
10:24 |
: Flaherty and Greene |
10:24 |
Royce Lewis stays healthy for this go-around? : O/U on how many games |
10:25 |
: 45 |
10:25 |
: What’s the deal with your boy Cedric? More specifically, what would you do with him in a 12-teamer? I’ve got him parked on the bench most nights, but feel like I can’t quite drop him (and there’s obviously zero trade value) |
10:25 |
: I think it is time to drop him unfortunately. While I think he has to be better than this, in a 12 team league, you shouldn’t wait |
10:25 |
: Has anyone taken a franchise-level statistical approach to injury? How many TJs annually in each system, farm to MLB? How many games lost to hamstring injuries, lat injuries, shoulder injuries? Would that identify franchises that were doing better prevention than others? |
10:26 |
: I think Jeff Zimmerman looked at this in the past. I don’t know if there is a current study on it though |
10:26 |
: Should you hold Kyle Manzardo in 12 team redraft leagues? |
10:26 |
: Nope |
10:26 |
: Drop chourio for friedl in h2h category league? Redraft |
10:26 |
: I am ok with that, but I would prefer to keep Chourio |
10:27 |
: What are you thoughts on Connor Norby getting called up? |
10:28 |
: I am kind of in the minority of the industry, but I don’t think that Norby is a special of a player for fantasy. He profiles as an accumulator in my opinion and Baltimore has not shown they will automatically play a guy every day just because they bring him up. |
10:28 |
: Need to drop a bat with Royce Lewis off the IL: Vierling, Adell, Langford or Schneider. Tempted to get rid of Adell; his swing and miss has come back. |
10:28 |
: I am ok dropping Adell |
10:29 |
: 2 months in and Randy A has been riding my bench for weeks. Is it safe to cut bait yet? |
10:29 |
: I wouldn’t want to drop him but I understand it in shallow leagues. |
10:29 |
: What to do with me? Wait for 2nd half positive regression or cut bait with other options at 3B |
10:30 |
: I think I am holding Machado. The numbers say he is fine and just needs to elevate a little more. I think he should have a rebound. |
10:31 |
: yay or nay: I have 6 injured players right now for 4 bench and 4 IL spots, and am stashing all of them: O’Neill N.Jones Jung Scherzer Springs Schmidt. if nay which 1-2 are out. OBP/QS |
10:31 |
: I would drop springs. I never really trust guys coming back from TJ in their return. |
10:31 |
Mike Trout or Joey Votto? : Who has more PAs the rest of the year? |
10:31 |
: Trout lol |
10:32 |
Masyn Winn, Wisely, David Hamilton, Colt Keith. Thanks. : Hi Justin. Need a MI for a deep 15 team redraft with standard cats. Please rank from best to least: |
10:32 |
: Keith, Winn, Hamilton, Wisely |
10:32 |
Andrew Vaughn, Jon Singleton, Willie Calhoun in OBP league? : |
10:32 |
: Vaughn |
10:32 |
: Orioles have to make a move, right….right? They are killing their prospect values w this musical chairs routine imo. Cowser looked awesome and now meh. Stowers up and hot but AB once a week. Kjerstad back and forth. The only one who got a legit shot, Holliday, wont be moved but also killed value if he was one of the guys they did want to. Just feels like overmarinating players because they are indulging in their wealth. |
10:33 |
: I hope they package some hitting prospect for pitching. They would make a really good trade partner for anyone looking to move a pitcher and now that Kremer and Means are hurt, they have a need |
10:33 |
: Will Connor Norby and/or Justyn Henry-Malloy have enough PA and impact to be relevant in a 12-team 6×6 w/ OPS? |
10:33 |
: Probably not |
10:33 |
: Am I going to start hitting? Been brutal since the injury |
10:34 |
: I have to wonder if it is the injury or the deader ball causing guys like Albies to struggle more. Maybe a little of both? |
10:35 |
Bryce Miller @ KC, Lodolo vs. CHC, or Hicks @ ARI? Leaning sitting Miller due to KC being a pretty scary offense as well as the park… : Which one of these SPs should I sit in roto: |
10:35 |
: Hicks for me |
10:35 |
: Criswell vs. Arrighetti, this week (CWS and STL respectively) and beyond? |
10:35 |
: Criswell |
10:36 |
: Little Poteet looked great in his first Yankee start. What does he need to show vs. the Dodgers to be an add? Nice team context. |
10:37 |
: Love the nickname for him lol. I want to see better command, but I am definitely intrigued. Deeper league stash rn |
10:37 |
: There is an __% change that Yimi Garcia remains the closer once Romano comes back |
10:37 |
: 10% |
10:38 |
: 18 teamer dynasty 6×6 I have to keep holding Y Diaz if no one will trade anything of value? I picked up Fry and enjoying ride atm. |
10:38 |
: I think you can drop if you need to the roster spot in a 1-catcher league. |
10:38 |
: Drop Adell for Duvall? |
10:38 |
: nah |
10:38 |
Dylan Moore and Adell? Between Nick Gonzales, Bleday, Raley, Burleson, McCutchen, and Vierling, who should i grab? I want to keep Adell over Moore but this 2 wk slump is killing me : Looking to add some more stability to my lineup (12T H2H Points): Who should I cut between |
10:38 |
: Drop Moore of Raley |
10:39 |
: Any NL call ups from the minors in the next month or so that you see making a big impact? |
10:39 |
: I am not good at the prediction game with prospects. I would ask Eric |
10:39 |
Matt Manning a hold in a deep dynasty? : |
10:39 |
: probably not |
10:40 |
: Any expectations for Malloy in DET if he gets PT? How deep a league is he an add? |
10:40 |
: I think I would only add him in a 15 team league or deeper. I don’t know that I have a lot of faith that he will be successful considering his lack of contact skills.. |
10:41 |
: Cowser worth an add in OBP 14T redraft? Over India, Neto, O’Hearn. |
10:42 |
: I still believe in Cowser, so I would take him over neto |
10:42 |
: I play in a 13 team mixed roto league(12 hitters, 7 P) with daily lineup changes ,no IP max and 8 bench spots. How many hitters should I keep on the bench? Are platoon bats such as Kepler, O’Hearn, Wade worth rostering? Should I stream starters? |
10:42 |
: I usually go 50/50 in these types of leagues. I like Kepler in this size format especially with the Daily moves. |
10:43 |
: Is there still hope for him this season? Is it the shoulder? Is he a drop in 12T? |
10:44 |
: I think Soler will be better. The exit velo numbers and barrel rates are fine since the return. |
10:44 |
: Both are injured, I read. Who’s the better stash for this year Cade Povich or
|
10:44 |
: Caminero |
10:44 |
CJ Abrams rest of year? month 1 was nice. month 2 not so much… where are the steals? : What to expect from |
10:45 |
: This is the type of player he is. He can run hot and cold in an instant because of his aggressive approach. He will be better if you stick him, but he can be frustrating. |
10:45 |
: Any thoughts on Neris ROS? I need the saves help but he’s walking tons and not really getting the saves. Yimi or Garrett preferable or wait it out? |
10:45 |
: I don’t mind dropping for Yimi |
10:45 |
: Drop Vierling or Adell for Royce Lewis? OBP/SLB league. |
10:45 |
: Adell and fast |
10:46 |
Jo Adell, Luke Raley, Matt Vierling, Davis Schneider–any of these four a better option than Brandon Marsh, especially with Marsh probably headed to the IL? : |
10:46 |
: Give me Raley |
10:46 |
: Blessed to pickup or have had in minors Parker, Lively, and Blanco. Any of them you would move for limited value bc red flags? Or just keep enjoying ride? (18 teamer dynasty 6×6) |
10:46 |
: I think you just enjoy the ride because you won’t get back much in return. |
10:47 |
: I have Burger, Langford, Yandy, Gorman, Nick Gonzales – anyone cuttable for guys like Vierling, Raley, Masyn Winn, Adell? |
10:47 |
: Winn is worth cutting Yandy for. |
10:47 |
Miguel Vargas with the Dodgers this season? You’d think he could take ABs at 2B and 3B (or even a bit of 1B) in addition to the OF, but so far he’s only played OF on the small side of a platoon with J-Hey. : Is there a realistic path to more playing time for |
10:47 |
: I just don’t see the path to regular playing time. Dude needs a trade. |
10:47 |
Andrew Abbott or Povich (when he comes)? : 12 team 6×6 w/ QS: |
10:47 |
: Povich |
10:47 |
: In 30 team dmb dynasty how would you rank brett wisely, Vidal Brujan and Mickey moniak |
10:48 |
: Moniak, Wisely, Brujan |
10:49 |
: Why is Mullins doing all of his damage against his teammates brains instead of the ball? |
10:50 |
: This makes me so sad. I think the two issues are aggressiveness and the ball. He is swinging more inside the zone but not having the same quality of contact. I think he needs to be more selective in the zone. I also think the deader ball hurts him, especially in that park. |
10:51 |
: Ok, I have a ton of questions and only about ten minutes left. Let’s speed round through as many questions as I can. |
10:51 |
Bobby Miller, Bello, C Paddack, B Brown, H Brown, C Scott? thank you! : ROS in a QS league – can you rank |
10:52 |
Ben Brown, Hunter Brown, Scott, Paddack : Miller, Bello, |
10:52 |
: Choose 2, Lose 2…Friedl, Rooker, Susuki, Ward. 12-Team H2H categories with TB, OBP, BB and K’s as additional hitting cats. |
10:52 |
: Ward and Friedl |
10:52 |
Bryan Reynolds for his Brenton Doyle? Or should I keep looking? : 12tm H2H categories – I need some speed. My |
10:52 |
: I think that is ok |
10:52 |
: will my power come back? |
10:52 |
: Yeah, he will be fine |
10:52 |
Jared Jones (vs LAD, vs MIN) this week over Flaherty, Sale, Imanaga, Kirby or Ragans? : Are you starting |
10:52 |
: Over Flaherty, yes |
10:53 |
: If you had one IL spot, would you use it for Snell, Degrom or Kershaw? |
10:53 |
: Kershaw |
10:53 |
: I agree with you the Cards should try to trade Goldy, but who would take him? The Astros have gotten the 2nd worst WAR production from 1B this year, so could they be a fit? Would that meaningfully impact his fantasy value? |
10:53 |
: Someone will take him. I don’t know how much it would help for fantasy, but Goldy is too big of a name on an expiring contract to not get moved. |
10:54 |
Anthony Rizzo has been replacement level this year. Does Goldschmidt to the Yankees make a lot of sense? Or is Goldschmidt just cooked? : |
10:54 |
: I think that would be an interesting fit |
10:54 |
Kris Bryant worth a flyer this week at Coors if you have the space? : Is |
10:54 |
: Sure |
10:54 |
: Lodolo vs CHC or Bello vs CWS? |
10:54 |
: Lodolo |
10:55 |
: Is it just babip to blame for Nimmo’s season? |
10:55 |
: Yeah, I think that is the main culprit |
10:55 |
: Are you giving up on Tork in dynasty formats? He’s been brutal. |
10:55 |
: I am not giving up on him yet |
10:55 |
: Minnesota dropping payroll, kapler in final year of deal, do they sign him or let him go in FA |
10:55 |
: They let him go |
10:55 |
: What would you do with Yandy Diaz in a 12-team mixed league, standard 5×5? |
10:55 |
: drop |
10:55 |
Oneil Cruz in a platoon now? He probably ought to be but it’s hard to run him out in a weekly league. Thinking about dropping him for some stability in Neto, Winn, or Rosario. : Is |
10:55 |
: I am not dropping him yet |
10:55 |
: Gavin Stone on fire recently. Strikeouts seem to be ticking back to match the SwStr rate, is he a strong starter rest of the way? |
10:56 |
: I think he is |
10:56 |
: What do you think about Hunter Brown as a speculative pick up in dynasty leagues. My thinking is I can stream him occasionally this year and hope he figures things out. He’s still young (obviously) |
10:56 |
: He has been better recently, so I would buy |
10:56 |
: Hope for Julien to get right in AAA and still make an impact this year? |
10:56 |
: I think he can, but it is a flawed profile. |
10:56 |
: I have $31 T. Hernandez and $17 L. Thomas in a 12 team NL only. I was offered $2 Carrol and a 1st rd minor league pick. Thoughts on this offer? |
10:56 |
: a $2 Carroll is hard to turn down |
10:57 |
: With Julien sent down, need a 2b off the wire? Go with Caballero, Freeman, India, or Turner? |
10:57 |
: India |
10:57 |
Noelvi Marte or ESC? 12 tm 5×5 redraft. Thank you : Deep benches so I tend to stash high upside players. Currently have Adell, Pages, and Chourio. Would you drop any of them for |
10:57 |
: drop adell for MArte |
10:57 |
: Pick up Sandoval or Weathers? 12 team fangraphs points settings |
10:57 |
: weathers |
10:57 |
: Do you like Vientos in a 12-team league? No speed and pop is suspect to me |
10:57 |
: The pop is real but the contact skills aren’t. If you need power, I get it, but he may hit .200 |
10:57 |
: I’ve been roughed up a bit lately. Is optioning me and lowering my workload now on the table, or is this just a couple of hiccups in an otherwise stellar start, keep rolling me out there for now? |
10:58 |
: I think it is just a hiccup |
10:58 |
: vientos no longer has baty around, but his contact rates are bad. Is this just JD Davis again? |
10:58 |
: great comp |
10:58 |
: What’s your favorite baseball movie? |
10:58 |
: Moneyball |
10:58 |
Bailey Ober? He is so inconsistent and I know there is talent so this is frustrating. Start @ NYY ? : What to do with |
10:58 |
: He has been great outside of the two KC starts. I am rolling with him |
10:58 |
Willi Castro putting up decent numbers playing several positions…is he a keeper in Minnesota long term? : |
10:58 |
: I think he is. I just hope he keeps getting time once Lewis is back |
10:59 |
: Of the temp closers for the Mets, who gets the most saves the rest of the way? Garrett, Ottavino, Diekman? |
10:59 |
: Ottavino |
10:59 |
: I was just about to bench Bregman for Vierling, then he starts hitting homers…but his Statcast still looks terrible. Lucky week, or is this some real change for Breg? |
10:59 |
: I think it is natural positive regression. |
10:59 |
: Who gets more saves the rest of the way, Beeks or Kinley? |
10:59 |
: Kinely |
10:59 |
: As an excited Ozuna owner, is there any cause for concern? Was hoping for 85% of last year and seems like we getting last year+ production. Also, any shot he plays the field at all? |
10:59 |
: No, he is terrible in the field |
10:59 |
: Does LeMahieu have any value hitting in that lineup or is he pretty much done at this point? |
10:59 |
: Not much |
10:59 |
: Hello Justin. Waldron (today vs LAA) or Arrighetti ( vs STL tomorrow) as a stream? Or both? And who do you like ros ? Deep roto. TY |
10:59 |
: Waldron |
10:59 |
George Springer or Alex Verdugo as a last OF in a 12 team H2H? : |
10:59 |
: Springer |
11:00 |
: To your point on Norby – he has a 30% K-rate and a .400 BABIP that is propping up his numbers quite a bit. Real ugly is well within the range of outcomes for him |
11:00 |
: exactly |
11:00 |
Kodai Senga to my IR figuring I’d get a half of good baseball out of him. My pitching fell apart (Strider, Brown) and I’m in desperate need of SPs. Yet … he keeps NOT progressing. Now I’ve got a bit of an IR crunch and is it time to move on? : Drafted |
11:00 |
: move on |
11:00 |
Chris Sale before sustained regression/injury hits? Which struggling ace could be targeted for a straight up swap? : Is the window now open to sell high on |
11:00 |
: I wouldn’t sell tbh. I think Sale is a stud when healthy. |
11:00 |
Tommy Pham or Matt Vierling ROS? 12-team H2H, 10 offensive categories. : |
11:00 |
: Pham |
11:00 |
: Gurriel or Nimmo ROS? |
11:00 |
: Gurriel |
11:01 |
: What are your expectations for Royce Lewis ROS? |
11:01 |
: He will be a stud on a per plate appearance basis. Just depends on if he can stay healthy. |
11:01 |
: Time to drop Manoah in a 12 team? Or wait for more info? |
11:01 |
: I am ok dropping |
11:01 |
: could the Royals (10 HR, 32 runs in 37.1 career innings) have a pitch tip or something on Ober that other teams do not? or is it sample business |
11:01 |
: Maybe they see something, but I think it is small sample plus the Royals are good. |
11:01 |
: Love reading your chats. Gibson, Abbot or T. McKenzie ROS? |
11:01 |
: Thank you! Abbott for me |
11:01 |
: How deeep a league to start Kutter vs. ATL this week? |
11:02 |
: Every league |
11:02 |
: AL Only 11 Team Keeper – $280 cap. Which P would you prefer to shop for a bat? Rodon $22 in first year, Flaherty $5 in first year, Pablo $27 for two years, or L Castillo $29 for 1 year? |
11:02 |
: Rodon |
11:03 |
: 11 Team 5×5 roto OBP w/2 bench spots. I have 3 Houston players, J. Pena horrible last month or so, drop for D. Hamilton (SB), Raley, Kieth or add another SP Gasser? |
11:03 |
: If I need the SBs, I take Hamilton. In a vacuum, Keith for me. |
11:03 |
: Are you concerned with Fry’s playing time going forward? |
11:03 |
: I think the Guardians will figure out ways to keep him in the lineup. |
11:03 |
: ok, back up this Raley love… I’m not seeing it. He was hot for a bit last year too but the contact was red flag and he could not sustain |
11:04 |
: I wouldn’t call it love. I think he was the best of the options given. He is a guy to stream while playing well and drop once he struggles. |
11:05 |
: Any suggestions for dealing with, I dont want to say troublemaker (seems unintentional) in a dynasty league? Guy made a couple trades at end of last season and now has 6 SS on roster. Seager, Adames, Abrams, Bichette, Volpe, and Tovar. He also has Holliday in minors. We have 1 SS and 1 UT spot. Obviously his team isnt competitive in a 18 team dynasty, but thing is he keeps begging for trades and then says no one will pony up for his guys. I inquired about Bichette and it was Wheeler+Ragans/Gil (about a month ago) he shot down a Churio for Holliday as well. The guy isnt a jerk, wants to compete, but seems horribly off on his values. IDK if he tried to corner market or what. He goes with his *gut* no rankings he says. Any ideas to nudge him the right direction? It stinks bc a few moves and his team would be dominate but he is leaving so much on bench. |

: This is always tough. I don’t know if there is a good answer. If I know the guy well, I tend to sit them down and explain what I think they are doing wrong, but often that leads people to thinking that you are calling them an idiot. Ultimately, you have to let people make their mistakes. |

: I was just reading the transcript from Brent’s chat on BaseballHQ. It’s funny how often you two are asked the same question and give completely different answers. I like to view it as a cabinet meeting and getting all the points of view. That’s just a long way of saying thanks for the chat and all the podcasts. |

: This is why I love to listen and read a lot of different takes. Sometimes it helps me reinforce what I believe and other times it turns me around. |

: Are you starting Bello @CHW or Bibee at home vs KC? QS league |

: Bello |

: It is worth the risk to your ratios to stream SP in a daily roto league with unlimited IP, where about the the top 120 SP are taken? |
11:08 |
: I am a lot more careful with streaming in these formats because I hate having to repair ratios. Unless I know I am in a spot with needing Ks or wins, I am a bit more conservative. |

: The .200 babip will surely regress; I just hope it does so before the O’s bench him. |
11:08 |
: I really hope so. |

For the veto question, I don’t see that trade as terrible. Ozuna is playing nearly as well as Judge, and I think Judge has more injury risk. Grayson has way more upside than Keller going forward. I like the Judge side more, but that’s not an outlandishly unbalanced trade.
