I would indeed. In win-now mode, getting a star for an injured star absolutely works

Luzardo

1:37

I wonder if he’s still hurt and playing through or if his confidence is actually shaken?

Paul Sporer

1:37

I could see a mix. This is definitely a lost season, but I'm not going to completely abandon him going forward

Kate

Your heavy support for an Adames breakout in MIL is looking good right now. I thought he'd be better, but I was dubious he'd see a major jump. Certainly looking great so far.

Paul Sporer

1:39

Sometimes the smoking gun feels too obvious and we balk at it, I can totally understand that, but looking at his home/road w/TB and hearing he couldn't see the ball at the Trop just tracked for me and he was a player I've been bought in on previously so it was nice to see that we might've finally found the reason he didn't jump off completely... until the trade. I'm really excited for his 2nd half and beyond now. I think he's a future All Star

Which prospect has you most excited to watch outside of Wander?

Paul Sporer

1:41

Not to be on the nose since he's literally debuting right now, but it's Brujan. I'm really excited about him. He reminds me of another favorite of mine: Ozzie Albies

Dylan Carlson has been - fine - this year. Is he droppable in 12 tm OPS leagues?

Paul Sporer

1:45

I agree that he's simply been fine and you'd think that could be cuttable in something like a 12, but my experience w/the OF waiver wires this year is that you're unlikely to find something appreciably better so I'm holding. In 3 OF leagues, the wire may be more fruitful, but the 5 OF lgs I've played (of all sizes, ranging 10-15 teams) haven't produced anything good enough to cut Carlson for IMO

Thanks for the chat Paul! Can you rank ROS: Joe Ross, Jordan Montgomery, Alex Wood. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:46

In reverse order of your listing here, though I'll point out that it's close at 52-65-68

Corbin Burnes

1:46

My SwStr% is down nearly 10% over my last few starts — any concerns?

Paul Sporer

1:49

A little, but I just don't think it's actionable bc I'm not benching him or selling so we just have to keep an eye on him and hope he can turn the tide on the this downturn

Big Tuna

Are you buying into Orlando Arcia in any leagues? Used to be a high profile prospect and was hitting pretty well in AAA.

Paul Sporer

1:51

A bit, yeah. He's just 26 and he was dominating in Triple-A. It'd be one thing if he just had a handful of homers w/modest underlying skills, but everything was popping in AAA so I'm willing to take a shot with him

1:51

Any chance Rowdy Tellez gets sprinkled with a bit of the Willy Adames magic dust?

Paul Sporer

1:52

That'd be great! I was in on him coming into the year hoping he could maintain some of those K gains and go off. I'm definitely not running to get him to same level I did with Adames, though

Dustin

1:52

Is Francisco Mejia a bust at this point?

Paul Sporer

1:53

I'd like him to get at least 1000 MLB PA before going that far and he's only at 509 so not yet, no

1:53

What does the Tigers bullpen look like after the deadline?

Paul Sporer

1:53

Still shitty, lol

1:54

I think Cisnero has to go as he's 32 and not part of the Tigers next good team. They might move Fulmer too and fully clear things for Soto.

Matt

1:56

Do you think last night's start was the turning point for a strong 2nd half for Tony Gonsolin? He finally topped 5 innings and 80 pitches

Paul Sporer

1:57

And only 1 BB. I see him ready for a big 2H and he could be an IP leader in the 2H given that he's only at 21 IP so far this year

big fan

1:57

I wanna be sprinkled with Adames magic dust.

Paul Sporer

1:58

Me too!!

Cavan Biggio

1:58

Why is anyone still holding onto me?

Paul Sporer

1:58

Track record, decent work vR, and a strong June

1:59

OK y'all, a little bit of a shorty today as I'm under the weather but I'll be back next week! Thanks so much for coming out! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Instagram (p_sporer). I’ll be streaming on Twitch later today and you can definitely come by and ask questions about fantasy there. Have a good one, y’all!

Whoops, that's my copy & paste outro w/the streaming thing... I'm not certain to be streaming tonight given the previous under the weather comment I just made. Anyway, thanks y'all!!!
