Yeah, as long as he continue to his hit suppression (which he's been doing since last year, so now it's 158 great IP). Heck, even in '19 he was streamable with his best coming at home and a lot of his duds coming against quality teams that you could've easily avoided. He's a firm team streamer for me right now. It'd take a really bad run to throw him back on the wire in any format right now

Reynolds with another bomb just now. What kind of profile are we looking at here going forward? Can he be a legit 25+ HR guy? He's chipped in a couple steals the last week too (I've been waiting for those as he rates pretty well in sprint speed).

Paul Sporer

2:48

Definitely cuts a mid-20s/7-10 SBs kind of profile right now. Nothing about his fall off made sense last year in terms of thinking that's who he was now and yet despite outlining that on the OF preview pod back in January, I didn't draft him anywhere. Fail!

Thanks for doing these chats! 10-teamer, rank these SS ROS: Gleyber, Franco, Lindor

Paul Sporer

2:49

Thanks for coming to them! Lindor, Franco, Torres for me with Lindor well ahead of the other two

FUn game

2:50

Brewers/Cubs - 7-6 in the bottom of the 3rd. Urias and Yelich (and maybe more) are going to get to hit in each of the 1st 3 innings. The Crew just used Eric Lauer to pinch-hit for the pitcher in the 3rd . . . .and he drew a walk. Good day to have Cubs and Brewers.

Paul Sporer

2:53

Yeah this game has been nuts! How about Urias's last month of work: .282/.358/.464 w/4 HR & 2 SB in
123 PA

Locastro available in an NL only - he was dropped when he got hurt. He has the SB potential, but will he play enough to be worth picking up with FAAB?

Paul Sporer

2:55

He's a short-side platoon right now, but I think his speed enough to still consider in NL Only bc of how deep those leagues are plus the D'Backs should start moving folks out including Eduardo Escobar and David Peralta which could clear some extra time for Locastro.

July

2:55

Looking to move mccullers. Is pressly or diaz a fair target?

Paul Sporer

2:56

Depends on your trade partner, of course, but if the folks who have those closers can use an impact SP, then I think that's a fair offer

Re: Slam dunk

2:56

I asked who got the better side of that trade and you said, and I quote "Gleyber, and it's not close." I felt like that was at least a posterize dunk.

Paul Sporer

2:57

Again, where? I couldn't find that in any cursory checks of my previous chats and I just don't feel like I'd say that given my love for Woodruff

3:00

I only had one chat in April which is when you said I made this comment and I can't find anything about Woody or Gleyber - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/paul-sporers-chat-april-28th-2021/

3:01

And the only reason I'm pressing this so much is bc I don't feel like I'd have had such a strong take against Woodruff. I know I get stuff wrong so it's not about that, it's specific to the players in question

Johnny5Alive

3:02

Strasburg looks like he might come back soon. Any expectations? Would you try to buy him if he was available?

Paul Sporer

3:03

It's hard to have any significant expectations of him. I'd still keep him stashed on the IL if I have him or even consider picking him up in leagues where has been dumped, but I'm not expecting anything major right now

Woodruff

3:03

I drafted Woodruff over Snell at the last second because of you! (2nd round btw)

Paul Sporer

3:03

Let's go! Snell is my guy, but I loved Woodruff coming into this year

Paddy

3:03

Who are the best non-closing relief pitchers ROS? Looking for ratio help

Paul Sporer

3:06

Jonathan Loaisiga, Collin McHugh, Giovanny Gallegos, Andrew Kittredge, JP Feyereisen, Chad Green, and Ryan Tepera are some that I like

I have broken up with Montas for ever. Light him on fire.

Paul Sporer

3:07

Noooo!!! I can't say I don't get it, but I'm sticking with him. That Texas start was tough to swallow, though

Mooseknuckle Curves

3:07

Kopech

Paul Sporer

3:07

^ another stud middle RP... though might not be as available since many are still stashing him for potential SP upside

3:09

OK y'all, I gotta go cut the grass before it rains again. Thanks so much for coming out! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Instagram (p_sporer). I’ll be streaming on Twitch later this week (maaaaybe tonight after trivia, but I'm not sure) and you can definitely come by and ask questions about fantasy there. Have a good one, y’all!
