Just a rough patch for Alex Wood, or is a he drop candidate in 12 team mixed?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Provided we don't hear anything negative health-wise, I say rough patch and would be averse to cutting him

Billy

3:10

Varsho or Stassi in a 2C league?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Sticking w/Stassi

Sergio Romo's Wang

3:10

I almost made my MLB debut last night!

Paul Sporer

3:10

lol

Dirk D.

3:10

You got Conforto or Meadows ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:13

Meadows. It's really close between 'em w/the tiebreaker being the small speed edge of Meadows

Kate

3:13

Kim need a major injury to an infielder or a trade in order to get a full-time role? Also, any chance they send him down? I kind of feel like he needs more regular PT to get adjusted, but I can understand why a team like SD can't give him that in the majors right now.

Paul Sporer

3:15

Yeah he likely needs an injury to open something up on a permanent basis. I don't think they send him out. I think they like having him in a utility/PH role.

Vinny

3:15

You see good things ahead for Pete Alonso on a healthy Mets team?

Paul Sporer

3:15

Yeah healthy Alonso is always a 50 HR threat

Tony

3:15

Montas vs Tex? man wtf who saw that coming

Paul Sporer

3:16

So brutal.

Moop

3:16

What's new with A.J. Puk?

Paul Sporer

3:17

Nothing new since his latest IL stint

Kate

3:17

Montas seemed to be settling down the last handful of starts and then blew up again this week. Anything you're concerned about long-term? Or is just always going to be a mildly frustrating guy who's still very useful?

Paul Sporer

3:18

Have to wonder if zero sticky stuff was a culprit, especially for someone w/a feel pitch like a splitter. Another dud would definitely get him out of some of my lineups (I have him damn near everywhere!) but I'm reluctant to cut him until I see what's going on beyond this Texas dud

Ober-wan-Kenobi

3:18

have i lost the use of the force the 2nd time through the lineup? the walk rate is just sooo awesome. I want to beleive that there is value in a 12 team standard roto......am i just being a lost ewok?

Paul Sporer

3:19

Yeah I just don't know that Bailey Ober can be trusted to go more than 3

Jack off all trades

3:20

What did you think of Kershaw's comments on Girardi? He's got a point. If an opposing manager disrupts the flow of the game, asking for a pitcher to be checked, and the umpire doesn't find anything, shouldn't that manager get tossed for it? Stripping them of a challenge doesn't seem stiff enough.

Paul Sporer

3:23

An ejection seems tough. Losing a challenge can be pivotal but I understand it doesn't feel too severe. I don't love it, that's for sure

3:23

Time to cut bait on Ian Happ or Miguel Sano? Replacement options include Galvis, Kemp, Berti, Fletcher, Franco, Toro.

Paul Sporer

3:26

Yeah, both can be moved on from in 10s and 12s

Soundwave

3:26

Dynasty league how are you ranking Mize, Manning, & Skubal?

Paul Sporer

3:26

Manning/Skubal/Mize

Kate

3:26

We all (myself included) yawned at any mention of Bryan Reynolds before the season. Heck I wasn't even really interested after 2019. He's killing it this year. Am I crazy for seeing something like Conforto lite here? If he could get out of that park / lineup and/or find a few chip-in steals (both of which seems possible), I might even remove the "lite".

Paul Sporer

3:28

He's been insane! I was just discussing him in the context of MLB The Show bc his card is going to get upgraded. I think dismissing him after 20 was just a miss by many of us. It just made no sense that he was trash all of a sudden, espec. when he had the markers of bad luck, namely his minuscule BABIP. But yeah, i think this is pretty legit, even if he power dips back

VADER

3:28

Does Witt see the majors this year with Royals not a factor?

Paul Sporer

3:28

Probably not

VADER

3:28

Now that Wander is up, do you still think they'll be aggressive bringing up Brujan?

Paul Sporer

3:30

No, there just isn't a spot. I thought Brujan could beat Franco to the majors w/how he was performing and Franco being so young that they could afford to take time, but then he surged and Brujan has smoothed out big time. With Wendle dominating and Lowe getting back on track, Brujan needs an injury at this point

Jim Leyland Palmer

3:30

Yesterday was the best day in Detroit sports since _______?

Paul Sporer

3:30

2012 World Series?

Shnooker

3:31

Hampson or Dylan Moore for remainder of the season?

Paul Sporer

3:33

They're the same player so I'll just take the guy in Coors.

10 teamer

3:33

Is Harold ramirez a legit bat?

Paul Sporer

3:36

Fringe for 10-teamers right now, but I'm a Ramirez fan. Liked him in his breakthrough season of '19, but he couldn't get on the field last year and struggling in his small sample. Winding up in Cleveland is huge because they perennially need OF and he's making the most of his time.

LFC Mike

3:37

Hi Paul. How do the Rays replace Glasnow? Wacha doesn’t seem the answer. Patino? Baz? But He only has 2 AAA starts. Thanks

Paul Sporer

3:37

In true Rays fashion, they almost certainly piece it together as opposed to one guy emerging
