Bobby Bonilla

12 team dynasty- safe to drop Mitch keller at this point? I just don’t see him fixing this in Pittsburgh.

Paul Sporer

2:04

Definitely

Mike E P

2:04

Lost several closers to the trade deadline, added Tejay Antone over Bednar, Patton, Bender. Do you see him closing in Cincy? Was surprised they didn't add RP at trade deadline.

Paul Sporer

2:05

They added 3 RPs: Givens, Cessa, Wilson and they've all done well thus far. Yes, I think Antone has a shot to close upon return

Trent Grisham

2:05

AI be in a platoon when FT Jr. gets off the IL?

Paul Sporer

2:07

I don't see why Grisham would lose PT, espec. bc he's been better vL this year. I think Pham and Myers are in bigger danger

Dave

2:07

ROS multi-position bench guy: Toro or the Candy Man?

Paul Sporer

2:07

I'd go Toro for the couple SBs

deGrom

2:08

Is my timeline longer than Pablo’s?

Paul Sporer

2:08

I don't think so. The way I understand it is that Lopez has to go through more checkpoints whereas deGrom is more about once healthy, he can go

MVP

2:09

Sounds crazy... but is Yelich droppable?

Paul Sporer

2:09

I wouldn't do it

KCBbq

2:09

Another SB name to know......Jorge Mateo. Getting pt in Baltimore and one of the fastest speed guys in the game.

Paul Sporer

2:09

Yes, we discussed him on Monday's pod. Justin loves him and Baltimore should give him all the PT he can handle

HappyFunBall

O/U on saves this season for Taylor Rogers? I have 11 guys for 5 IR spots and I think he's got to be the first to go...

Paul Sporer

2:10

O/U is 1.5 and I'll take the under

Chilly

2:10

Matt Chapman, Canha, Brian Anderson ROS...who you got? Or should I abandon ship on all 3?

Paul Sporer

2:10

Depends on league size/type... need context

Jung Bong Jovi

2:10

Hey Paul, former Austin resident here now in Minneapolis. No question, but just popping by to say hi, wish you well and thank you for all that you do.

Paul Sporer

2:10

Hey, thanks so much! Hope Minneapolis is treating you well!

Guest

2:10

Keep forever Dynasty, Vlad and Eloy or Acuna and Albies

Paul Sporer

2:11

There's not really enough difference to have a strong preference. I'd go Vlad/Eloy but that's probably just bc Vlad is healthy rn and Acuña isn't

Seth R

2:11

as this is a Reds chat, how do you see their roster crunch working out, seems like we may end up with Suarez/Moose platoon with Senzel/Farmer as SS?

Paul Sporer

2:12

Yeah Senzel is going to play CF/SS. Think Farmer really only mixes in vL as he comes back to earth. Even w/his hot run, he has a .737 season OPS

boobie miles

2:12

Rest of season, need one arm.....E. Morgan, K. Bubic, J. Barria, G. Jax or D. Bundy..need one, as I justlost Stripling & Rodon. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:13

I've become a Morgan fan as my friend and fellow NFBCer Gregg Martin put me on him. I love CLE pitchers in general so I'm surprised I wasn't already interested in him, but ya there's some real stuff there for Morgan to build on

Guest

2:13

Of these 4 pitchers, which 2 do you keep for next year: Woodruff, Burnes, Peralta, Lynn? I'm leaning Woodruff and Burnes...correct logic there?

Paul Sporer

2:14

I don't know that there's a correct/incorrect logic w/four studs like that. I certainly have no issue w/keeping those 2. I love Lynn, but not sure I can justify keeping him over Burnes (Woody is the lock for me)

Dave

2:15

Gut feeling-- who's playing SS for the Tigers on Opening Day next year?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Carlos Correa (I'm not joking)

Trevor Bauer

2:15

Should people just drop me?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Should've ages ago

Seth R

2:15

Paul Sporer

2:15

Yes, he is! Gimme!!! https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/5-aaa-starters-who-could-be-up-soon/

Jung Bong Jovi

2:16

It is, thank you. I do miss all of the wonderful foods in Austin though. Lived just around the corner from Home Slice. *sigh*

Paul Sporer

2:16

Ooh that made my mouth water. Now I want some Home Slice!!!

Limited starts ahead

2:16

Sit/Start Ohtani vs. TOR tomorrow? AL Only, protecting ratios, eventual start limit...

Paul Sporer

2:16

I think you've carved out why you should sit him. He could def own them, but protecting ratios says pass

re:Donaldson

2:16

I traded for Donaldson recently and he's just sitting all the time...

Paul Sporer

2:17

He was nursing an injury for a few days so hard to judge him right now. Should be playing quite often when healthy, sit tigh
