Hello! Thanks for coming through. It'll be a tight timeframe today ahead of our Discord Watch Party for Patreon folks. We're watching Ohtani v. Gausman!!

Just wanted to take a moment and appreciate how sweet everyday Rake Cronenworth is!

Paul Sporer

2:38

He is so good! Huuuuge fan

Paul please help with Snell! He’s ha a couple of decent starts recently, and inevitably someone in my league throws me an offer. I rebuf, encouraged by the start he just had. Then he goes back to being terrible. Today I got a Sims for Snell offer. I know I could’ve gotten more numerous times this season, but his value just keeps cratering and I could use some saves. Think that smells fair? In general, would you hold or sell low?

Paul Sporer

2:43

I feel like I'd want someone more locked in for saves, though I understand that might not be available. It's a doable deal

ScottTINSTAAPP

2:43

haha, I love him...I see we both own him in the Main and are reaping the rewards!

Paul Sporer

2:43

He was a must-get!

ScottTINSTAAPP

Do you think Brady Singer is a cut in NFBC 15 team?

Paul Sporer

2:44

More of a team streamer for me focused on home and cushy road matchups. Most 15 wires don't have someone better

Not Eli Whites Mom

2:44

Eli White en fuego lately. Worth a roll in leagues that play 72 OF?

Paul Sporer

2:45

The playing time is there and he's got a fantasy-relevant profile. I'd go for it

Dodgerbleu

2:45

Why is Adam Wainwright doing well and is he a hold for the season as a stable 4 type?

Paul Sporer

2:46

He was good last year and even pretty solid the year before. Still see him as a mid-to-low 4.00s guy but there is some streamability here

The Pain and the Smell

2:46

Ohtani has to be the odds on favorite for AL MVP, once you add what he's done on the mound, no? In any other year without THIS Ohtani, Vlad, with his numbers would be a lock.

Paul Sporer

2:47

Ohtani SHOULD be the go-to, but I think many are still leaning Vlad. Vlad is a monster but it's easily Ohtani for me

Guest

2:47

Good times ahead for McNeil?

Paul Sporer

2:47

Would think so if healthy

Smalls

2:47

OBP 12-Team Redraft: I was offered Y. Alvarez and Verdugo, my team needs are SB and OBP. In return he asked for one of Albies, Semien, or Muncy. Who would you give up of the three?

Paul Sporer

2:49

Well it can't be Semien or Albies if you need SB. And Muncy is an OBP god. Are you getting those 2 for just one of those guys? Otherwise, I'm not sure the point

AL Guy

2:49

ROS thoughts on BA laggers Gradal and B. Lowe? Any positive regression?

Paul Sporer

2:49

Well ya, Grandal's BABIP isn't staying .169. Lowe's has some bounce to it, too

Tony

2:51

Are you holding Stripling in shallow leagues? Or still treating him as a high-end streamer?

Paul Sporer

2:54

I consider him a team streamer which I guess is a high-end streamer in that I don't cut him back into the pool when I'm not using him, but instead just reserve him. Not a new concept, but I like to specify the difference since most hear streamer and think cuttable when not in use

AcunaMatata

2:57

In an NFBC OC where Wander is available. I am currently in 1st, with $450 in FAAB left. No obvious need. What would you be willing to spend?

Paul Sporer

2:57

At least $400. Probably still keep some hand to fill in holes rest of way, but otherwise I'm going in. No needs now doesn't guarantee the same in the future. This is an elite talent who could be game-changing. Can't pass those opportunities up

Apples and Oranges

2:58

I’m competing this year, but very much on the fringe, keeper league. C is a black hole. Have McCann but keep staring at Varsho. I know they’re very different, but are you ok with that move for a team that likely finishes in some runner up capacity?

Paul Sporer

2:58

I'm OK chasing Varsho here bc he has the skills to be a fantasy difference-maker w/the speed. McCann has gotten back on track when all hope looked lost, but he's not special, even at C

AcunaMatata

2:58

I'm surprisingly relevent in one of my NFBC OC's near the end of the first half (second year in NFBC), any general advice for the second half to try and money?

Paul Sporer

2:59

I honestly don't have any special advice as this is looking to be my best year in NFBC with some teams in contention across the Main and OC. I always play hard to the finish line, but I haven't been very good in NFBC to this point.

Tony

2:59

Would you buy in on an Eduardo Rod sub 4 ERA ROS? Nothing in his profile seems to justify the results this far outside of a high BABIP and low LOB %

Paul Sporer

2:59

No, I would not.

Cambodian Creamsicle

2:59

So now, because of this sudden rule change, we have players throwing hats and gloves on the ground for umpires, players pulling their pants down, idiot managers using the rule to disrupt a cruising pitcher's flow, an ejection, and what do we get from it? Longer games. Way to go Manfred!

Paul Sporer

3:00

LOL, right? Shouldn't it all be done in between innings so as to not slow the pace even further???

AL Guy

3:01

Please rank ROS - Greinke, Berrios, & Kikuchi (AL 5x5)

Paul Sporer

3:04

Berrios/Kikuchi/Greinke for me

Joe Girardi

3:06

I'm a buffoon! What I pulled last night in the middle of an inning was totally bush league, and I humbly apologize to Scherzer, and the fans. This whole substance check system is yet another black eye on the game that should have been better thought out and implemented at a more suitable time (like at the start of a season.) What a circus!

Paul Sporer

3:06

Correct

Guest

3:06

Any hope left in Solak?

Paul Sporer

3:08

Yeah he's not toooo far off the hoped-for pace (~20/10 and he's pacing around 16/6). That said, it's not out of bounds to cut him in 10s and 12s (more on that on tomorrow's pod)
