Weclome! Pardon my tardiness (and early departure... got about 30 mins), but I didn't want to leave y'all empty-handed this week!

If mlb cracks down on foreign substances, should I be worried?

Paul Sporer

3:05

I imagine most of the league has some concern, hard to the amount of worry each pitcher should have

Dr. Jones

3:06

How worried are you about Trevor Story returning to form after the injury?

Paul Sporer

3:06

Not terribly, he's a buy low for me

KleShreen

3:07

How many home runs will Eric Haase lead the AL with?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Tony

3:07

What do you think Votto is going to do ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Be pretty mediocre unfortunately

Ray of Hope

3:07

Better numbers from now 'til ROS, R.Ray or L.Castillo?

Paul Sporer

3:08

Daaang that's tough.... I'll go Ray. I'm still buying Castillo, but I think Ray has made tangible changes to sustain a good level of play. #yogapants

Sam

Paul Fry or Simms or Kopech in a saves plus holds league?

Paul Sporer

3:08

Sims for me

Tom

3:08

Just wanted to say that I enjoy your work! Thank you!

Paul Sporer

3:08

Ty so much! I really appreciate that

Carl

3:08

What is happening to Nick Solak and Lowe?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Contact & BABIP for Lowe that should smooth out while Solak isn't too far off expectations

Tony

Roto, 11 teams: Would you trade Bichette for Correa and Rodon?

Paul Sporer

3:10

I would if I need an arm

Seeing Red

3:10

Better ROS, L.Castillo or Bundy?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Castillo, but keep an eye on Bundy being w/Stassi. Hard to always discern how important a C is, but it's not NOTHING and he has insane splits between Stassi & Suzuki

Big Tuna

Mitch Haniger has had a rough last month. Was the beginning of the season a total fluke or just a touch flukey?

Paul Sporer

3:11

A touch. He was always going to smooth out. If he's healthy, we're happy

ScottTINSTAAPP

3:11

You think Cisnero might be able to be the #1 guy when Fulmer comes back?

Paul Sporer

3:11

They seemed to really like Fulmer, so I'd say no

Napkin

3:11

Will Kelenic have any sort of impact this season?

Paul Sporer

3:11

Hard to say for sure, but I'm holding in a lot of leagues at this point

ScottTINSTAAPP

3:11

Looking up at you in the Main but I'm coming! Was a nice 69 spots behind you last night! Great start for you, well done

Paul Sporer

3:11

Thank you! It's been fun. Sooooo much work to be done, but better to play from ahead than behind

Guest

3:11

Please Rank’em ROS Roto: Willi Contreras, Haase, Alfaro?

Paul Sporer

3:12

Hmmmmm.... I'm actually gonna go Haase first bc his non-C days are in the outfield so that extra volume help. Love non-catching catchers. Then Alfaro/Contreras

Balt Shuffle

3:12

Chances H.Harvey takes over as closer for the O's this year?

Paul Sporer

3:13

35% chance!

Hi Paul! Thanks again for doing these chats. Thoughts on Tucker Davidson please. Are you picking him over McLanahan and/or Manoah in a 12 team league?

Paul Sporer

3:14

Yw! I am intrigued Davidson enough to scoop him in a couple lgs this week. We watched him in our Patreon Watch Party last week and I think the group came away impressed. I wouldn't go for him over those 2, though.

Sad Castillo Owner

3:14

Better ROS, L. Castillo or J. Lucchesi?

Paul Sporer

3:14

Stop it. LOL

KleShreen

3:14

Do you think it would be worth it to drop, say, a Carlos Martinez, to pick up Chris Sale for a possible post-all star break return?

Paul Sporer

3:14

Temper expectation for TJ returners, but getting rid of CMart is totally fine so if you can afford a lottery ticket, do it
