That's REEEAAALLLY close but I think I still lean with Harper. It's a coinflip, though so pick your personal favorite

Porcho Villa

1:57

Who is the better C hold for ROS (5x5 H2H) - Eric Haase or Daulton Varsho?

Paul Sporer

1:59

Haase unless you can really use the chip-in SBs from Varsho

1:59

Robbie Ray for Joey Gallo, fair?

Paul Sporer

1:59

Yeah that passes knowing nothing else about league setup

Kevin Lewis

1:59

As a Twins fan, should I be overly excited for Martin? Or should keep my expectations in check?

Paul Sporer

1:59

You can be excited while keeping your expectations in check. He's not the next Trea Turner, but it was undoubtedly a good return for Berrios. It was a win-win deal IMO

Dave

Hey Paul -- love the show, long time listener, first time caller. Wondering this: 10 team Roto H2H with a CI spot and a U spot. Between Rizzo, Votto, Goldschmidt, and Schoop, if you could only keep 3 ROS, who would you let go?

Paul Sporer

2:02

It's gotta be Schoop. We are through the Schoopening (his annual mega hot streak) and he's hitting to a .671 OPS w/just 1 HR in his last 25 gms

A Jolly Good Oberkfellow

2:04

Is it time to move on from Tyler Mahle in 12 team points league? He hasn't had it since the sticky stuff ban.

Paul Sporer

2:07

I dunno, his first couple start after the ban were tough, but he has a 4.18 ERA and 33 Ks in 32.3 IP since July 1st. The WHIP is bad at 1.51, but is there really much better on the wire?

Dan

2:08

Big debut for Jo Adell. Will he be a contributor RoS or will we be duped again?

Paul Sporer

2:09

I truly don't know bc he's still a big K% risk, buuut he's too talented not to take a shot on so I think he's an all formats pickup

FJM

2:09

Do you think Elieser Hernandez is worth a pick up in 12tm now that he's rehabbing at AAA? Waivers are ridiculously thin for pitching

Paul Sporer

2:10

Agreed re: waivers being roughhh for SPs right now so ya take a shot

Paul's Twitch

2:12

Bellinger ever going to turn it around? Hold or Drop in 16T League?

Paul Sporer

2:12

Gotta hang on in a league that deep, but he might not get back on track until '22 at this point

Conforto

2:14

Would you cut me for Dom Smith or Jake Fraley?

Paul Sporer

2:14

Probably not Dom, but I'm a Fraley truther

Guest

2:14

Is Brad Hand droppable in save only leagues? Guys like finnegan, soto and floro are all available. Maybe give him this week?

Paul Sporer

2:15

I think you've got the answer right there - give him a week and let's see if we can figure out how the saves might be divvied

Brad Wesley

2:15

What do you think of Jazz Chisolm long term?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Volatile with some major fantasy seasons in a Javier Baez-type mold

Dan

2:15

Are we buying Abraham Toro's recent hot streak?

Paul Sporer

2:17

I didn't realize this before the trade, but it turns out he's pretty divisive with some really hating him and others - like myself - being pretty keen on him. I don't think he's a star in the making or anything, but I just can't write him off until he gets a real chance which is what we're starting to see and the results are nice. I'm in. He's a must-roster in 12s or better and probably even some 10s depending on your roster

Farmer Ted (not a farmer)

2:21

Who do you like most at 3b for ROS: France, K Seager, Bohm, Wisdom, Candelario. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:22

Gahhh, that's tough bc they're so similar. Wisdom if you can eat the AVG, Bohm if you need a more balanced approach w/AVG and then some pop

Pete

2:22

I’m in a large league in which all the obvious minor leaguers are already rostered. (Basically, most of the top 100.) Who are some under the radar starting pitchers who might get August/September call-ups?

Paul Sporer

2:22

I'm actually planning on article on this but I haven't started it so I don't have answers RIGHT NOW. Should be done next week!

Bob Villar

2:22

Acuna or Muncy/Bellinger in a dynasty?

Paul Sporer

2:23

That's a fair deal to me. Probably still gotta go Acuña, though

Chantanella

2:23

If I'm needing to claw back in S+H in a roto league, what should I be willing to give up for guys like Pomeranz (SP/RP eligible right now), Chapman, Melancon?

These are RPs on teams that are out of it this season (fantasy-wise). Do I give up top 100-150 guys (either P or bat) or do I have to offer more?

Paul Sporer

2:24

No no, you shouldn't have to offer more than that or even that. The proliferation of SV/HD should make these guys easier to get and if ppl are asking too much, I think the wire could still be an option

Paul's Xtra Large Shirt Collar

2:24

Any buy low 2B or 3B right now? Need to shore up MI slot ahead of the playoff push. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:25

Whit is struggling, check in and see if his price is down

2:26

You said 3B but also MI so I'm not sure if you meant SS, but among 3B, I'd check in on Moncada, Hayes, and Chapman

Doug

2:26

Hi Paul. The weekly chats are very appreciated. Is this as good as Kikuchi gets (which is quite good) or is there another level he can get to?

Paul Sporer

2:27

Thanks for coming to them! And yes, I do kinda think this solid above-avg level is his best. Can probably shave the ERA down to 3.40-3.50 but that's not MASSIVELY different than where he's at right now

Arma Virumque

2:27

AL Only interest levels for Keller, Quantril, C. Hernandez, Tyler Anderson?

Paul Sporer

2:27

I'm a sucker for Quantrill and even have him in some mixers, so definitely him in AL only
