Hey everyone!

Zeff Jimmerman

1:04

So why isn't Nestor Cortez on your Main Event team

Paul Sporer

1:04

RUDE!

Honkus Wagner

1:04

starting Morton & Blackburn tonight?

Paul Sporer

1:04

Yes for both

Faz

1:04

Who are a few 3b options likely available in 10 team points leagues that I should be targeting?

Paul Sporer

1:05

More efficient to give me the names you're considering and then I can give my opinion instead of shooting in the dark at who's available

Tom

1:05

What can the nats get for Josh Bell?

Paul Sporer

1:06

I'd think at least one strong prospect. The deadline market has rebounded a bit for selling teams in recent years

Honkus Wagner

1:06

are you dropping Rodgers or Lux for Grandal

Paul Sporer

1:07

Rodgers

1:07

Hey Paul: is (my) Nestor Cortes for (his) Eliy Jiminez a fair trade?

Paul Sporer

1:07

No issues with that

Both Riley Greene and Oneal Cruz are FA. League is std redraft points. What % FAAB do you recommend. Thanks

Paul Sporer

1:08

How big is your need? I think that drives pricing more than anything right now because budgets are slimming down and with that, prices are dropping. There will still be some big plays like this, but it depends on need

Mike

1:08

Starting Giolito in 4 minutes?

Paul Sporer

1:08

Yes

ThadBosley

I have Christian Yelich and Alex Bregman on my team. Is there any hope for improvement?

Paul Sporer

1:10

I mean they haven't been that bad. Bregman has a 115 wRC+ and I could easily see a summer heater coming. And while Yelich only has a 94 wRC+, it comes with 7 HR & 10 SB. He, too, could get hot, but he's been a top 100 player so this level would be acceptable, too.

Mason

1:10

How worried are you about Rocchio's performance in AA? 81wrc+ with questionable contact ability and zero power. Slow start or is he overmatched and overrated by the community at large. Doesn't look like top 50 prospect to me.

Paul Sporer

1:13

I'm not too concerned. With all else being equal (or better than norms), I'm seeing the .258 BABIP as a major culprit to his line suppression. K% down 1 pt and BB% up 5 pts. Low line drive definitely plays into his low BABIP so it won't just magically regress, but I'm not really seeing overmatched especially considering he had a similar size sample at AA last year w/a 135 wRC+. So we have one good, one bad. I'm giving him time at age-21.

Faz

1:13

Thoughts on Tristan McKenzie ROS? Seems to outperforming his peripherals but will he sustain the current prodcuction. Is there a breakout in here?

Paul Sporer

1:16

As currently constructed, I do expect regression as the BABIP goes up and makes that HR rate sting more. But he certainly has the stuff to improve that K rate and if he lowers the volume of contact, it can certainly soften the expected regression. There is definitely that next gear upside, but it remains to be seen if we see it this year.

Scott M.

1:16

Any insight on the Texas C/DH situation? Between Garver and Heim I can’t figure out who to keep, and I absolutely can’t keep both.

Paul Sporer

1:18

I'd keep Heim. They have no problem playing both and can even mix Huff in w/1 at DH and the other at 1B, but Heim is the mainstay.

Faz

1:18

Chris Taylor

Paul Sporer

1:18

Agree!

Oh i was being a smartass. You were naming 10 team available 3Bs lol

Faz

1:18

taylor, Hayes, chapman, burger Donaldson

Paul Sporer

1:19

I like Hayes the best of that bunch. The others are better if you specifically need power, but Hayes is my pick

Furd Tergeson

1:19

Max Meyer is back at AAA, Brayan Bello just keeps dominating, and DL Hall might as well get a look on an up-and-coming O's team. Who should be picked up soonest as a speculative add for a 12tm H2H points league (keeper league, but competing for this year)?

Paul Sporer

1:21

It's impossible to predict call-ups so I just want the best of the bunch and for me that's Meyer. It's an intriguing trio, all of whom will garner attention upon arrival. Meyer is definitely my favorite of the group

guest

1:21

Re: need vs Greene or Crus FAAB. No need either. Would drop bench player. Probably Bader...or Ashby, if I dont replace Ashby with a SP. Looking for "best upside 2022: thanks, again

Paul Sporer

1:21

I don't think either has that much more upside than Bader for the rest of this year so I'm not sure I'd pay what it will likely to take to get them

Guest

1:22

Surprised I'm asking this, but who do you like better test of season, bellinger or haniger? (Either would just be a bench bat for me, currently holding bellinger, but haniger was just cut)

Paul Sporer

1:22

I'd just stick with the guy who's playing

Snell

1:23

What level pitcher to trade for Drury in a 12 team obp h2h? No idea how to value him.

Paul Sporer

1:23

Maybe look for a popup guy who seems believable but doesn't have a track record. Strider, Springs, etc...

Graham

1:23

Yelich feels like he just has a line drive problem and should have a big month coming.

Paul Sporer

1:24

Yeah 15% LD rate with a 22% career. Reasonable bet that it regresses and he pops off when it does
