Paul Sporer

3:15

I'm hanging on. I'm giving it 2 weeks unless I'm just fooooorced by a roster crunch

Kate

3:15

With Jacoby Jones getting DFA'd, do we finally see Baddoo get a shot at everyday (or close to it) at bats? I'm pretty psyched by the adjustments he's made over the last month to dial in the approach and the power/speed will obviously plan.

Paul Sporer

3:16

Still see occasional days off vL but this definitely amps up Baddoo's PT and I agree that his new plate approach has been really encouraging

Michael

3:16

Tucker Davidson have NL-Only Value? More than Gore at this point?

Paul Sporer

3:16

Yes for sure. The lgs I scooped him were mixed so def like him in NL

Guest

3:16

Dynasty categories scoring. Trade Correa, Bart, Caleb smith for Grisham and skubal?

Paul Sporer

3:16

I'm OK w/that, sure!

Kevin

3:17

what about buying low on story in a keeper league? Would you be concerned about a dip in performance after leaving Colorado?

Paul Sporer

3:18

A trade out would hurt home but help road and probably end up close to neutral. I'd still gladly scoop in keeper leagues, too

Alek Manoah

3:18

Will I outperform Robbie ray ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:20

Probably not. Ray has been pretty good most of his career and this newfound control is really helping limit BB. The HRs are definitely too high and worrisome re: maintaining a low-3.00s ERA, but I'll still take him over the rook (and not bc Manoah was hit last time out)

Slapshot

3:20

Trey Mancini has to have the AL Comeback Player of the Year award wrapped up by now, doesn't he? How close do you see him getting to his 2019 line (.276/35HR/106R/97RBI) by the end of the year?

Paul Sporer

3:21

Yeah, damn-near! So happy for him. He has a great chance to match or exceed it. It hasn't even fully warmed up in Camden yet

Tony

3:22

How do you stash someone like Jarren Duran? Has not played MILB in a month. Do you evaluate team USA stats or past performance?

Paul Sporer

3:24

It's not easy bc his playing time path is also cut off a bit for the foreseeable future. I think you take in any data you can and combine it w/scouting reports and what we're seeing this year

Boiling Coka-A-Cola

3:24

Which prospect to hold? Brujan, Kelenic, Adell? Thanks

Paul Sporer

3:24

Only one?!?!? I looooove Brujan, but I think I gotta go Kelenic

Dave

3:24

Any thoughts on LaMonte Wade Jr.?

Paul Sporer

3:25

Looks like a hot streak and not too much more. He's a platoon guy who probably won't play consistently enough to merit fantasy consideration

Hiura Kari

3:25

Do you see Keston H. regaining 2019 form?

Paul Sporer

3:26

Probably not. It was heavily BABIP-driven and I think we all glossed over it in anointing him. I don't think he's THIIIIISSSS bad either, but not '19 level

Kate

3:26

What do you make of Victor Robles at this point? Seems like a change of scenery might help, but would the Nats move him even if they went rebuild?

Paul Sporer

3:27

I don't think they'd be fully against moving him at this point if they start a teardown. He needs to improve at the dish and maybe there's that one hitting coach who can get it out of him. I was a pretty big fan these last couple seasons, but I've def altered my outlook

Struggling Slugging

3:27

Brandon Lowe just got cut in my OBP dynasty league. Drop Croneworth for him, or forget Lowe given his struggles and the high-end prospects behind him?

Paul Sporer

3:27

I prefer Croney

Vader

3:27

I really like the numbers supporting Alex Cobb, but I don’t want anything to do with him on a bad Angels team in a six man rotation. Will he be a hot commodity come the trade deadline?

Paul Sporer

3:28

Not a hot one, no

mathesond

3:28

I'm in a 5x5 roto OBP league, and need to bench one of Olson/Muncy/Lindor/Donaldson/Semien/Carlos Santana. Who would you sit most often?

Paul Sporer

3:28

Probably Santana, but that's tough given how well he's going

Nick Lodolo

3:28

Do I see time in the bigs this season?

Paul Sporer

3:29

I can see it, yeah

Kate

3:29

What do you make of this talk about Adames' home / road splits from his time in Tampa? I would typically wave something like that away as randomness, but we're talking about a pretty large sample. He also mentioned he had trouble seeing the ball there. Think he could be in for an uptick in production simply by moving parks?

Paul Sporer

3:30

I plan on writing him up to discuss it. I fully buy it.

Cory

3:30

Straight up, is Yelich done? If I could grab Winker for him, would you do it?

Paul Sporer

3:31

No, I don't think so... the other Q is a maybe, but we discussed EXACTLYYY those 2 in the next episode of In This League w/Welsh and Bogman that should be out today or tomorrow . We were split on doing that deal between the 3 of us

Maris

3:31

Picked up Jazz Chisolm and Shane McClanahan cheap in points league. Which is best dynasty keeper? Thanks

Paul Sporer

3:32

The hitter. Always the hitter when a hitter & pitcher are relatively close

Michael

3:32

Traded Betts ($39 2022 protect cost) for Chris Taylor ($14) and Joe Musgrove ($9) in a $240, NL-Only league. How'd I do? I needed pitching ratio help badly, am not sure if Betts has any keeper value at that cost, and love Musgrove at that price for next season. Chris Taylor looking good too!

Paul Sporer

3:33

I quite like that. Deep leagues like NL Only are definitely OK to cover 2 spots for one superstar

Keith

3:33

Will the Rays call up Brujan this season and if so when would you guess?
