Senzel 2 for 7 on the bases so far and now racking up leg injuries. Are the steals gone? Or maybe coming back once fully healthy? Sprint speed still really good.

Paul Sporer

2:19

I can see him getting a red light for now w/the health and then more of a yellow light once healthy and he'll have to prove to the Cincy mgmt that he can make the right decisions on the bases. It might be worth looking into his CS to see if it's been him, bad luck, or a mix of both. I did that piece on Edman's CS this offseason and realized it was some pretty rough luck so maybe I'll do the same for Senzel. At any rate, w/the health right now, I'm concerned about the SBs regardless of his CS luck

Had Pineda, Ynoa, and Stanton go down this week with Gleyber, Springer, and Kirilloff already on the IL. 10 team league with 4 IL slots - anyone droppable? Even with Gleyber coming back I still have an IL player in an active spot

Paul Sporer

2:21

That is SOOO rough. Ynoa is a definite cut in 10-teamer. Kirilloff just went out on rehab so hang on for now. Could see cutting Pineda if you really need the spot, but the thigh abscess isn't an inherently scary injury assuming it heals as expected

Hi Paul! Montas, Kikuchi, or David Peterson ROS? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:21

Montas easily for me

Finch Scout

2:21

Drop David Peralta for Yermin?

Paul Sporer

2:22

Sure

12 5x5

2:22

kyle gibson and rich hill keepers?

Paul Sporer

2:22

You mean like hang onto this year? Bc no chance they're keepers for '22

LFC Mike

Hi Paul. Would appreciate your thought on Eloy Jimenez post injury. Thank you..

Paul Sporer

2:22

I'm open to buying low in a dynasty format

Jay T

Is Giolito really an ace? He throws his slider at around 15% of the time, and it's not a really good pitch. His change is great, but his fastball is not blazing. I watch his starts and feel he's a number 2 or 3.

Paul Sporer

2:24

I think the swing-and-miss excellence keeps him at least a #2, but I understand pushing back on the ace anointment he received this offseason.

Adam

Mike Moustakas: He started hot, went on the IL for a non-Covid illness and now his barrels, swinging strike %, and other stats are down on the season. Do you think he's got a 30 HR season and top 10 2B season left in him or do you think this is the start of the decline?

Paul Sporer

2:29

I don't think it's the beginning of his decline or anything. I'm not terribly concerned w/where he's at right now

Travioli

2:29

How confident are you in guys coming back from TJ i.e. Severino & Thor?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Not much at all. I really don't buy into TJ returnees their first year back. The are very inconsistent and often the dud every 3-4 gms is enough to erase the good of the others

Prospector

2:32

Aaron Hicks cut-able in a 12 team mixer? Even if he avoids surgery, wrist injuries sap power...

Paul Sporer

2:33

Yes, he's a cut right now

zurzles

2:33

It's hard for me to care about Winker's .588 OPS vs LHP when he's hitting .350 with 8 HR in spite of it

Paul Sporer

2:33

It affects his playing time, though. I'd still take that Canha/Hader deal ALLLLL day

Mister Puppy

2:33

I know it’s not fantasy but there’s just no way in hell TLR makes it to the trade deadline at the helm of this CWS team, right? He literally sided with the team that THREW AT HIS OWN GUY.

Paul Sporer

2:34

The hire was absolutely baffling at the time and gets worse by the day. Going at Lance Lynn today, too.

For He's a Jolly Good Oberkfello

2:34

So, lost Trout. Worth cutting Gurriel Jr. or Swanson (have positional coverage) in a keep forever, 12 team, points league for Marsh and a prayer?

Paul Sporer

2:37

No no no. Gurriel is on one right now. 4 straight multi-hit gms!

Micah

2:37

One word to describe Ynoa's injury?

Paul Sporer

2:37

Stupid

2:38

And I'm not gonna pretend I don't get mad and act irrationally at times, too. So I call it stupid as someone who would do something that stupid, not from my ivory tower

Howdy

2:38

Gotta start Logan Gilbert tonight v Detroit, right?

Paul Sporer

2:38

Yes indeed. Tigers are hitting p well of late, but you still have to attack them in streaming

Yerminator

2:38

Should I even have been holding a bat with the count 3-0?

Paul Sporer

2:38

Swing all day, babyyyyy
