McNeil or Schoop ROS 5x5 12 tm?

Paul Sporer

1:12

Gonna play the team needs game - McNeil if you need AVG; Schoop if you need pwr production

Is Lux worth holding onto in a 10T? He almost looked like he was having a legit breakout but has mellowed out a bit

Paul Sporer

1:12

Depends who you're picking up, but there's probably someone on the wire worth taking a shot on over Lux at this point

Micah

1:12

Any concerns with Means when he comes back from the IL? I've heard other experts recommend selling high (or as high as you can given the IL trip).

Paul Sporer

1:13

It depends on your expectations of him going forward. I think he's a high-strikeout, mid-to-high 3.00s ERA with a great WHIP.

HappyFunBall

Starlin Castro on the restricted list now, and wasn't even hitting anyway. Easy cut

Paul Sporer

1:14

Re: ScottTINSTAAPP's Q... that's a good call. Castro over Walker but then Walker for me

Would you rather have Vaughn or Mountcastle in a dynasty?

Paul Sporer

1:14

Vaughn

Sad, Confused Marlins Fan

How do you handle players you traded for and are struggling? (10 team H2H)

Paul Sporer

1:15

I definitely give it a reasonable sample (which is admittedly a bit arbitrary bc it's not a set # of gms), but I'm not above cutting them even though I traded for them. 10-teamers is about that burn & churn

Micah

1:15

All things equal, if you were looking to sell high on Mullins which players would you target?

Paul Sporer

1:17

These are impossible to answer bc it entirely depends on your league. But with Mullins, you can ask high as he's delivering top of the scale production (11th OF on Razzball Player Rater), so go look for an impact arm or big time infielder that you think best helps your team

Loop

Hey Paul! What's your outlook on Paddack ROS? Has he truly returned to 2019 form?

Paul Sporer

1:20

I'd say he's more the ERA indicators of '19 as opposed to the 3.33 ERA he had. So the 4.14 he has right now isn't too far off from expectations given his HR issues. He's still a 2-pitch guy with a homer problem so that will breed volatility. He's a high-3.00s to mid-4.00s kind of guy. That's a wide range, but that's what the HRs can do

Traders gonna Trade

1:20

Hi Paul, thanks for the chat. 10 team Keeper league. I feel like I need to make a move, BUT, I have Lindor, Suarez, Franmil, Ke'Bryan and Pham. Do I need to trade, or will I be just as good keeping these currents guys? f I get the player they are supposed to be the rest of the way, I should be fine.

Paul Sporer

1:22

Yeah, we still haven't seen the best of Lindor, Suarez, and Ke'Bryan this year. Franmil was great and just needs to get healthy and I think Pham has been what we should expect. Don't trade just to trade. Make sure you're helping your team. Consolidating talent in a 10-teamer should usually be the goal so if you can move 2-3 guys for a superstar, I'm good w/that

Vader

1:22

Any players currently in the minors, other than Wander, that need to be stashed in H2H ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:23

I'd be down to stash Vidal Brujan, but otherwise I'm waiting to see guys get called up

Guest

1:23

WIll Brandon Crawford end up a top 10 SS? He's #5 in WAR now

Paul Sporer

1:24

In WAR? Yes, because he has the defense, too. I think he'll hold Top 10 in wRC+, too, but definitely feel better about the WAR one

Traders gonna Trade

1:25

Hi Paul, thanks for the chat. I might have accidentally submitted this question before I was done a minute ago sorryyyyy
10 team league head to head. Feels like a need to make a move, BUT, I have Lindor, Suarez, Franmil, Ke'Bryan, and Pham.
Lindor and Suarez stink, but if I get the player they are supposed to be the for the rest of the way, that's like two top 50 players.
Franmil is hurt, but why trade if you are getting that production back later?
Pham is hot, and Ke'Bryan could get it going.
I guess the question is; if you have underperforming/injured guys, should you be actively trading, or waiting for them to turn it around

Paul Sporer

1:28

Oh dang, sorry I didn't see that. I think I may have still answered the Q even w/out the added context in that I wouldn't trade just to trade. I can definitely see big summers from Lindor, Suarez, and Hayes

Bruno

1:28

Hey, Jesus (Sanchez) got a hit! Are you buying his resurrection?

Paul Sporer

1:30

It's going too far to frame it like that bc he has all of 30 PA in the majors to this point. He's a blank slate. And yes, I am buying him. I love the power and think he could be a key addition to the Marlins

Guest

1:30

Give: F Peralta, C Seager, J Romano, C Kellyfor Bichette, Edwin Diaz, Luis Garcia

Paul Sporer

1:30

Checks out

Link

1:30

Can I drop Ozuna, or is there a chance he comes back at the end of the season? I need as many IL spots as possible.

Paul Sporer

1:30

I'd can him

DatDude

1:32

Is Bobby Bradley a GUY or just a guy?

Paul Sporer

1:33

I think there is some GUY potential, particularly for our purposes in fantasy. I don't buy this 15% K rate so keep your AVG expectations severely tempered, but I do see 30 HR potential

Sad, Confused Marlins Fan

1:33

Currently stashing Wander. If Brujan gets called up first, which he probably will, would you drop franco for him?

Paul Sporer

1:33

I would, yes

Jon

1:33

Does Posey end up as NL HR leader at C? He's tied with Contreras, 3 ahead of C Kelley.

Paul Sporer

1:35

I'm gonna say yes, but I think Contreras and Will Smith are right there w/him

Bubba

1:35

What are your expectations for Maeda ROS? How would you rank him vs. Desclafani?

Paul Sporer

1:38

Encouraged by yesterday, espec. after the 3 BB in the 1st and settling down for the next 3. I think he'll be a mid-to-high 3.00s rest of season w/a K per inning

Wicho

1:38

Level of concern for MacKenzie Gore? You guys just dropped him past Campusano on the Padres' top prospects list.

Paul Sporer

1:40

I generally carry a decent measure of skepticism about prospect arms but it's amped a bit for Gore given his command issues and talk of the yips. Could be a good time to buy, though, as the price has never been lower
