Ronnie

Do you think Joey Bart will eventually find his footing in the big leagues?

Paul Sporer

2:16

Yes, prospect catchers just take a while to develop at the dish more often than not... so be careful w/Adley Rutschman expectations, too

LM414

2:16

What do we do with Kimbrel in saves leagues

Paul Sporer

2:16

I think you could've cut him shortly after the trade

Michael

2:16

You still have time to roll back your Cristian Javier call. Final chance!

Paul Sporer

2:17

I'm sticking with it. I just don't see how Luis Garcia goes all year and October as a full-time SP. Maybe the Astros are going to RP him in October and so they're fine giving him September in the rotation, too, but I'm still holding out hope for Javier to get some starts

Chuck

2:17

Brandon Crawford or Amed Rosario ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:18

Rosario if you need speed more (and I know B Craw has 10 SBs, but Rosario is definitely faster) and B Craw if you're chasing power-based cats

Ronnie

2:19

Recommend a tv show, movie, doc?

Paul Sporer

2:19

Ted Lasso!

Oddball Herrera

2:19

September 1 and no Brujan, Baz, Hunter Greene, Miranda, etc. Sad panda.

Paul Sporer

2:21

It's not like today is the only day for call-ups, though. Where would Brujan play? Baz likely wouldn't even start and I'm not sure Greene would make much impact at the MLB level, either. Miranda is the only one I reeeeaaallly want in the majors

2b woes

2:21

Should I drop Jeff McNeil for Solak? What about Bobby Dalbec (I can move someone else to 2b; h2h points)

Paul Sporer

2:22

I'd take either but I'll lean Solak if you want a committed pick

Alex in Austin

2:22

Can you please drop Zach Thompson 30 spots in your rankings? I'm concerned for your well being at this point and might send over a welfare check.

Paul Sporer

2:22

Relax

Broken Bat

2:22

Taveras of Rangers…do you forecast him being relevant in 2022? Only 24 years of age.

Paul Sporer

2:23

I'm a huge Leody Taveras fan. I was pretty hot on him coming into the season - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/the-next-top-150-hitters/ - and I'm not going anywhere even w/the year he's had

Boris

2:24

Jake Meyers continues to start, even after the returns of Bregman and Tucker. Think he'll be everyday starter for ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:24

Oh yeah, I think they've been clear that he is their CF right now

Tale of the Taillon

2:24

You dropped Taillon on the pod. I feel a little like jumping ship, even in AL only, after last night. Has he kept dropping for you?

Paul Sporer

2:27

He's tough to trust right now, but I'd be reluctant to cut him in an AL-Only. I think you gotta hang on as I doubt you're picking up anyone near his upside

Luke

2:27

eduardo escobar is on the wire. am i crazy to keep sano over him in an OPS league? sano has been hot the past 30 days

Paul Sporer

2:28

Yeah they're close in wRC+ over the last 30, but Sano has 6 HR to EE's 1 so there's more fantasy value from that standpoint. If you don't need the AVG that EE has been showing in that time period (.306) then I totally get holding Sano

Rob

2:28

where does keibert ruiz fit in your ROS C ranking?

Paul Sporer

2:28

Off the top of my head, I'd say top 12-15. Love his contact ability

RAH

2:30

In a really deep dynasty and I'm hoping Derek Hill and Jorge Mateo can get me SBs down the stretch. Do you think they'll hit enough to stay in the lineup?

Paul Sporer

2:31

Back to back days w/HRs for Hill. As a Tigers fan, I really like Hill. His defense will keep him in the lineup. The O's will keep playing Mateo as long as he's hitting well, too. So yes, both should be playing pretty often to help you get those SB chances

2:31

Otto had nice Stuff+ - is he viable ROS in a 16 team league?

Paul Sporer

2:34

Yes, Glenn Otto definitely has deep league viability for sure and could even find himself some 12-team viability

sean

2:34

is pat wisdom a must roster for ROS in 12 team?

Paul Sporer

2:34

Oh for sure. Soooo much power!

Ruiz

2:35

Aside from Reamulto, Posey, Contreras Perez and Grandal. Start me in the playoffs?

Paul Sporer

2:35

I meeeeeaaannn, you could take a shot, but again rookie Cs take time so don't hesitate to move on quickly espec. if it's a 1-C league

2:37

OK y'all, I have to 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!
