How terrible is a Trevor Richards, Tyler mahle, and Rhys Hoskins for woodruff offer? Out of 10 with 10 being best for the woodruff side. Feels like it’d be ok to give that for Cole or degrom but it’s a big overpay for woodruff.

Paul Sporer

1:38

Trevor Richards or Rogers?

Cory

1:38

I have a number of owners chasing my Casey Mize in my 14 team H2H keeper league. Now might be a good time to sell high, thoughts? I'm eyeballing a couple of guys but I tend to over value my own players... Guys like Cease, Solak, or Josh Bell? Are any of those a long term upgrade or stick with Mize?

Paul Sporer

1:39

I'd be interested in Solak. Gimme foundational hitting in keeper leagues given the volatile nature of pitching and the fact that Mize doesn't quite look like a future ace given his K rates

Alex

1:39

Edward Olivares is mashing in AAA. Does he replace Michael Taylor as the regular CF for the Royals at some point this year?

Paul Sporer

1:40

He's actually on this week's Watchlist. Justin and I were big fans of him last year when he came to KC bc we thought he'd find some PT. That chance could absolutely come through this year!

Jim Leyland Palmer

1:41

Paul, is there any way you could view this Tiger's upcoming offseason a success if they do not land one of the top handful of big FA SS (not Semien)?

Paul Sporer

1:42

I don't think it's an automatic failure if one of the big dogs doesn't come through, but they reeeaaaallllyyy need to focus on getting one. It's the perfect time to land a foundational SS as they are just starting to see some development and next year will carry some measure of expectations to start moving the needle forward. Correa could be a great fit if Hinch stays, too

Robert

1:42

Dynasty league rebuilder: I just traded a lot for ke'bryan Hayes: Josh Donaldson, Hendriks, Berrios. Am I crazy?

Paul Sporer

1:43

I like Hayes quite a bit long-term. That's a good haul for the person who traded Hayes but I totally get that dynasty dynamics are much different

Brian

1:43

Cole for Trevor Richards and walker buehler in a keep 6 league. Which side ya got?

Paul Sporer

1:43

This has to be Trevor Rogers, right?

The Stream Team

1:44

Better stream for 6 team FIP based scoring: Turnbull Sat @ NYY or K Hendricks Thurs @ PIT

Paul Sporer

1:44

Gotta go Hendricks at PIT

Ted

1:44

Sell high on Winker or long-term hold?. Article on here yesterday seemed to suggest there's fire w/ this smoke

Paul Sporer

1:47

Oh ya, he's been a monster throughout his career with injuries and an inability against lefties as the only things holding him back. You should entertain selling high as you can likely land a full-time stud who might be struggling right now. As good as Winker is, he will miss days v LH SPs bc he's just so bad against them. That incremental volume from an everyday stud, even if their rates aren't matching Winker, can be a big deal.

Kate

1:47

Baddoo seems to be figuring out how to make a bit more contact, but at the same time he's seemingly having trouble finding consistent playing time of the last several weeks. Tigers going to find him consistent ABs at some point? Or is he going to be a half-time guy the rest of the year?

Paul Sporer

1:51

Yeah he has just 5 Ks in his last 10 games (and 3 were in 1 gm), but only 6 of those are starts thus it's just 28 PA. He is hitting .474/.607/.632 w/8 BB, 5 R & RBI, 3 SB, but 0 HR. I think if there is something to this new approach (43% K% in his first 82 PA) then his PT will go back up. He's only a deep league consideration at this point, but I'm keeping a close eye on him

JASON MARTIN

1:51

Jason Martin just called up in Texas. Was hitting/running in AAA though never a top guy. Worth a look in AL only?

Paul Sporer

1:54

Definitely has AL only vibes immediately. Playing time could be tough given their OF/DH situation, but he could deliver some HR/SB and carve out more time if he hits the ground running. Could see some Calhoun to DH for Khris Davis and Martin in LF vRH if Martin forces his way into the lineup with a fast start

Chantanella

1:54

12-tm, H2H, redraft, 5x5 with extra hitting cats of OPS and Ks and pitching cats of K/BB, K/9, and L

I was offered my Lindor for his Gausmann and Carlson. Usually an easy no but two months of Lindor hitting sub .200 is killing me. I have Lux eligible at SS and Gausmann would give me ammo to swap a pitcher or two for another SS.

Pull the trigger?

Paul Sporer

1:55

I'm a huge Carlson fan so this feels solid to me. Yeah, it'd probably be a no if Lindor wasn't struggling, but it's not some major sell low so I'm good to roll with this

Kyle Gibson

1:55

Did you leave a toy in your yard or something that Kyle Gibson tripped on? Bastard!

Paul Sporer

1:55

No, it wasn't me!!!

Ken

1:55

Does Vaughn contribute enough to be a starter in ten-teamers rest of the way this year?

Paul Sporer

1:56

I think he's going to have a huge summer, tbh

Siri

1:56

Considering trading away Woodruff for Trout in H2H categories league. My other pitchers are Gausman, Trevor Rogers, Eflin, E-Rod and German, with Stripling and Elieser Hernandez on the IL. Also have Manoah. Would you make this move? I'm in 5/12 place right now.

Paul Sporer

1:58

That is a tough one. I'm going back and forth on it, which means there's a case for both sides and thus seems pretty doable. A 12-teamer should have some waiver wire goodies across the remainder of the season, too, so you can stream some gems to cover the Woodruff loss, too

Ghost of Horace Clarke

1:58

Do you have any thoughts on what's wrong with Eddie Rosario? Do you have hopes for a bounceback, or is he droppable for someone like Danny Santana?

Paul Sporer

2:01

I don't really see any reason why Rosario will stay this bad. I think regression will get him back to his league average level and I'm encouraged by how much he's running early on so I'm inclined to hang onto him for now. That said, as I mentioned earlier, I like Santana so if you can maybe cut someone else, he is still a viable target

Kate

2:01

Are the steals gone for Meadows? Could you see him getting back to like 10-12 maybe?

Paul Sporer

2:02

I think he'll get another handful this year (6-9) but I think it might be personal choice to run less as a means of self preservation given his career health troubles

Kate

2:02

How much does Story moving to another non-Coors park worry you? Steal should stick, but how will the pop and BABIP translate (obviously depends on the park)?

Paul Sporer

2:03

I'm not too worried. He's a legit stud so it'll be like Arenado IMO... his home #s will go down some for sure, but his road #s will almost certainly rise since he won't have the Coors Hangover to deal with

Guest

2:03

What's better, Great or Excellent?

Paul Sporer

2:03

Excellent for me

Brian

2:03

re: woodruff trade - rogers sorry!

Paul Sporer

2:04

So that's Rogers/Mahle/Hoskins for Woodruff... and you said a 10 out of 10 means I'd want Woodruff side, so I'm at a 2-3, preferring the trio of players for sure

Norm

2:04

Skubal has had a good last few starts after scrapping the splitter and going back to his old changeup. Do you think he has turned the corner?

Paul Sporer

2:08

Yeah he has gotten his strikeouts back on track and looks much better. He's also limiting walks much better, too. Next step is curbing the HRs. I think he will still be on and off the waiver wire in 10s and 12s, but I think he's a team streamer in 15s
