Love your stuff Paul! Are we holding Guardians' closer of the future Karinchak in 12s (saves only)? 15s?

Paul Sporer

2:18

I'd hold in 15s, but are you sure Clase isn't the closer of the now AND future?

Re: Detroit on OD-- Correa at SS and Verlander starting

Paul Sporer

2:19

OK, I can only get SO excited. I'd love to see JV come back, but that's more of a luxury. Correa or any of the other premium SS make SO much sense for the Tigers given where they are and what they have coming. Correa fits so well bc of Hinch, of course, but I'd take Story or Semien, too.

H2H categories redraft 12x12. I took Lindor in the 2nd round and am in 7th place, dealt Lindor and Stanton for Gleyber with Franco my only SS and now Gleyber is down. Would you deal Darvish and Ryu to get back T Story?

Paul Sporer

2:20

It'd take BOTH of those arms for Story? Usually SPs are more valuable in H2H so that's surprising to me. I don't think I'd do that

Guest

I have Carlos Hernandez and Luis Gil…how excited should I be that I scooped up some 2nd half studs?

Paul Sporer

2:20

Eh, moderately. Neither is a lock and Gil was sent back down for roster space. He should return, but there are no guarantees once Cole and Montgomery return from COVID and German from shoulder inflammation.

Re: Mullins was definitely not trying to call you out at all, was just genuinely asking if your opinion had changed since we now have 2 more months of data.

Paul Sporer

2:21

Fair enough. It def felt like a dunk attempt. But yeah, obviously he's proven himself to be a stud. There's a lot of believability in what he's doing, too

Dinger

Rockie to roll with: Cron or Joe?

Paul Sporer

2:21

Cron for me

Reynaldo Lopez looked good today (3IP, 4K, 1.00 WHIP) and as a reliever. Thoughts on ROS if Rodon stays down or is Kopech someone to watch?

Paul Sporer

2:22

NOOOOO don't do it!!!!!!!

As a recovering Reynaldolyte, I strongly encourage you to stay away!!!

Now on PizzaGraphs. Austin Pizza Garden was killer too. I think Höeks Death Metal Pizza is no longer around. They were fun while bouncing around 6th Street.

Paul Sporer

2:22

I need so much pizza now

Chilly

sorry...chap,canha, b anderson its a 12 team keep all dynasty but 50 active/reserve spots and 20 minors. but i want yonny!

Paul Sporer

2:23

No one else cuttable? Kinda hard to merk any of those 3 in a dynasty, but if you really need Yonny's SB upside, do it for Anderson

KCC26

12 team mixer: Alonso/Hendricks/Diaz or Olson

Paul Sporer

2:25

If you need the pitching, that's an OK deal. I generally try to consolidate talent in 10 and 12 teamers, but I'm cool w/both sides here

Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe [It's Been a While]

2:25

The Nationals have baseball's richest ownership and a lot of needs. Do you think they go slow with the rebuild [and get guys like Marwin Gonzalez or Jose Iglesias to fill holes] or use some of that money and the partially-revamped farm system to grab one of the marquee shortstops, one of the interesting bats, and some pitching?

Paul Sporer

2:26

It's hard to say for sure bc of the uncertain CBA, but I could see them trying to speed up the turnaround w/some big activity in the FA market as opposed to a full scale teardown & rebuild

Barty Crouch...JUNIOR

2:26

Is Bobby Witt Jr getting called up this year? And if so is he a fantasy playoffs difference maker?

Paul Sporer

2:26

I doubt they start clock, but he'd be a must pickup if called up

Duchess

2:27

Man Cole Irvin - results (ERA, FIP) are great, but indicator stats (SIERA, xFIP, xERA) are a full run higher. in a $260 cap league, is he a keeper next year, or more of a nice dollar draft guy again?

Paul Sporer

2:27

Not a keeper, definitely a throwback and speculate again or find the next Cole Irvin

Club Dub

2:27

Currently have Floro-Bender handcuff in a Save-Hold league. Not ideal. Best on the wire that I can tell is Colome, R Wick and Tanner Scott. Is there a good swap out?

Paul Sporer

2:27

Not really, I'd just ride w/the Marlins combo

Guest

2:27

Baddoo replacement: Cain, Santander or Renfroe?

Paul Sporer

2:28

Cain if you want to ensure some replacement of Baddoo's SBs, otherwise Santander.

Seeking ratios

2:29

Thoughts on Joe Ryan? Minor league stats and olympics are impressive. Does he get called up soon or should I snatch bumgardner or price off waivers

Paul Sporer

2:29

I dig him: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/5-aaa-starters-who-could-be-up-soon/

2:30

Why isnt Miranda up yet?

Paul Sporer

2:32

Jose Miranda has had an excellent season at AA/AAA for Minnesota. He can move around the diamond so I think he should get a call at some pt even w/the Twins out of it. If and when he's up, I'd take a shot on him anywhere

OK y'all, I gotta get going! 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!
