Keep two for saves speculation in a 12-teamer? J.Duran, T.Houck, or C.Poche.

Paul Sporer

2:10

I'd ditch Poche. The other 2 have a real shot to take the role and run while Poche will likely never be more than a here & there kinda SVs guy

Sorry for the second question-is Bregman a drop in 12t for Hayes or Espinal?

Paul Sporer

2:11

No worries asking a 2nd Q!! And no I wouldn't. Bregman has still been above avg despite a pretty meh output (109 wRC+) and bats 3rd everyday on a great team. I just can't cut him at all

Foghorn

How about some love for Paul Goldschmidt...both in the fantasy space and real-game production the dudes been an absolute stud for a decade now and it still feels like people underrate or forget about him...

Paul Sporer

Fantasy baseball's ageism at play! BTW, I like making jokes about fantasy baseball's ageism, but obviously it's rooted in the very real aging curve meaning you are often better off fading age. That said, there are exceptions and even as they identify themselves in their 30s, they continue to go at a discount for fear of a cliff drop and/or the fact that they only qualify at DH (Goldy, Rizzo, Papi, Cruz, etc...). Goldy just keeps getting it done and he's been AMAZING this year!!

Woah Nellie Fox

Where would Heaney slot in your latest rankings if he were healthy?

Paul Sporer

2:16

Team Streamer right now with potential mobility if the early LAD skills are even close to real

Kevin

2:16

Opinions are all over the place on Cristian Javier. Eno Sarris had him at 18(!), Pitcher List has him at 64, you've got him right in the middle (45). Is there a chance the Astros might put him back in the bullpen down the stretch?

Paul Sporer

2:19

There is a chance with Odorizzi and McCullers working their way back, but even if he is moved back to the pen, I'm not cutting him.

Mart

Is Stathead the only place I can find how many times a team has been shutout?

Paul Sporer

2:19

I think so, yeah. Maybe Savant.

Who is your Save-ior?

2:19

Holmes is my only closer. Seranthony or Tanner Scott better bet? Could drop Jimenez and Keegan Thompson for both.

Paul Sporer

2:20

I say go for both. Hand could get the PHI job or at least keep Seranthony from running away with it, but I like the upside of both Dominguez and Scott

Jay Dawg

2:20

Winker for Snell, 5x5 OBP?

Paul Sporer

2:20

Prefer Snell, fair trade

Joe Jackson shoes

2:20

Desclafini, where does he slot in your rankings upon return?

Paul Sporer

2:20

Team Streamer

Don juan

2:21

What is the outlook for Jake Burger ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:23

Really depends on the playing time, but I really think he can be a 120 or better wRC+ hitter. If he has inconsistent playing time, it could be a pain for fantasy folks. We'll have to see how they handle Burger/Moncada at 3B when Eloy returns

Salty

2:23

Counting Matt Carpenter as another mustachioed guy on a heater, can you get in touch with Javy Baez to see if he's willing to start growing one?

Paul Sporer

2:23

that's a wonderful idea!

Bill

2:23

do you like Mendick to take any bats away from Garcia and Harrison. Seems to do ok in limited ab's

Paul Sporer

2:25

I think he could when Anderson returns. Mendick and Harrison feel kinda redundant once Anderson is back.

Nicklaus Gaut

2:25

On a scale of "Mt. Vesuvias exploding" to "Nickelback existing", where would you slot your Alek Manoah ranking? ; )

Paul Sporer

2:25

looooool

Brandon

2:26

Who in the 50+ range in the ranks would you say is the greatest upside play/most likely to be in the top 20 at EOY

Paul Sporer

2:27

Strider, Singer, Ashby, Greene

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!
