His SIERA is 3.47. His fastball velo is matching 2018-20 levels. The Ks are def down, but only from elite to simply good enough. He's sellable in that he will net a big return, but I don't see any sort of cliff

Faz

Points league: would you trade Tucker & Mckenzie for Olson and K Wright? Trying to upgrade pitching without losing much in hitting. Currently in 4/10

Paul Sporer

1:27

I'm OK w/this. It achieves your goal. I don't have a huge split b/w McKenzie & Wright but I have Wright higher

Jake

is clevdog a mid 3s guy ROS if he can stay healthy? not sure if you're a fan since he was injured during your latest SP rankings

Paul Sporer

1:29

Yes a healthy ClevDog is mid-to-high 3s. I'd obviously like to see that swinging strike rate turn back up, but I'm in on healthy Clev

Dave

ROS outlook on Oneil Cruz now that he's up? Is he an impact player in 12-team mixed? Or more of a "he should be on *a* roster, but not necessarily *your* roster" type?

Paul Sporer

1:32

He's definitely the latter description for 10s, but I'd try to fit him on a 12-teamer. There are definitely 12-tm scenarios where you just don't have the cut, but his upside is so rich that I'd be turning over every rock to be certain I don't have a cut for him if he's available in a 12

Is Alex Cobb still worth holding onto? Tired of hearing how he's the "unluckiest pitcher" in baseball. He seems to have great stuff but can't put it all together.

Paul Sporer

1:34

I know that's frustrating, but you can run bad for a good while just like someone can run really hot for 2-3 mos. as we've seen with someone like Martin Perez. Cobb has started to turn the ship around with a 3.77 ERA/1.26 WHIP including 14 Ks in 14.3 IP over his last 3. I'm sticking w/him for now

Mr. Wright

1:34

Kyle Wright has given up over 20 hits the past 2 games. Any reason to be nervous or is it just bad luck? Start him tonight vs Phillies?

Paul Sporer

1:35

17 singles and a .541 BABIP. Not saying he didn't earn any of it, but I don't see it sustaining at that level of hit allowance. He's a full on must start for me right now.

Enrico Palazzo

1:35

Couldn't the Braves be trying harder to get Wm Contreras and his 900 ops into the lineup every day?

Paul Sporer

1:36

It's tough, though. He's the backup C and you try to avoid having both of your Cs play too often at the same time. TdA has been really good, too. If they still had Piña, I bet Contreras would be an OF regular

Dan Threw Up On My Deck

1:37

How do we feel about Adolis and his ROS pace? He has had a stellar week, but assuming some regression should someone with SB needs buy right now?

Paul Sporer

1:40

Anyone needing SBs should absolutely scoop him where available. I was NOT an Adolis fan coming into the season, but the hate went too far on him and I wish I'd have pounced. He was a 15/15 lock going around pick 200. Now he's a lock for 15/15 with a chance at something crazy like 30/25. Even if we pace it down a bit, he's still an SB pickup for the short-term

Abe

1:40

Long term are you more of a Hunter Greene or Nick Lodolo fan?

Paul Sporer

1:41

I have a Lodolo lean

Jolly Rogers

1:44

Would you start Kelly @ Colorado this week?

Paul Sporer

1:44

No shot

Guest

1:44

Just trade p Sandoval and Oneil Cruz for montas thoughts?

Paul Sporer

1:45

It's a little rich if Montas doesn't get traded this year to improve his W potential, but I don't have any problems with it. Fantasy aces are expensive, Sandoval's ERA will regress if he doesn't start curbing the base runners, and Cruz is a wildcard

Jake

1:45

any further leanings towards justins ranking on skubal after last nights outing? the walks are really ticking up lately

Paul Sporer

1:46

I'm still higher than Justin's 29. I might have him 4-5 spots lower, but I'm just not too worried given the stiff competition outside of the TEX start

Guest

1:47

Berrios was cut in my league. Would you consider swapping him for Ryan, Perez, Anderson or Giolito?

Paul Sporer

1:47

Giolito or Ryan

Cito

1:47

Any hesitation owning Tampa Bay Rays prospects in dynasty leagues with a weekly h2h format? I have Curtis Mead in one, and worry that he might get the Bruján treatment of 3-5 starts/week when he's ultimately promoted. And Mead's stock is rising - maybe a sell candidate?

Paul Sporer

1:49

If Mead is hitting, he will play. It's still a small sample and I haven't quit him, but Brujan has done nothing to earn extra PT by posting a whopping 20 wRC+ in his MLB time

Colton

1:49

If you had to pick between Austin Hays, Nimmo, or Benintendi for the ROS, who would you go with? Harper going down leave me an open IL slot but whoever I pick up stays until Harper comes back (weird league rule).

Paul Sporer

1:49

Hays is the only one close to replacing Harper's lost power so I think he's the choice

Cliff

1:50

Hey Pat, big fan big fan. What are Strasburgs long term prospects in a dynasty league?

Paul Sporer

1:50

Remarkably grim. I have no real hope for any sort of rebound at this juncture. Stras is one of my favorite SPs so I'll be rooting for it, but just don't see it

Guest

1:50

You expect Dean Kremer to stay hot or to fall down a cliff?

Paul Sporer

1:54

I view him similarly to teammate Tyler Wells. They have very similar statistical profiles. Their new home park w/the extend-o wall in Camden will help them possibly outrun their component numbers, but I'd plan for a low-4.00s ERA and take anything better than that as a win

Enrico Palazzo

1:54

Over/under for Nimmo 10hr/10sb ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:54

O on HR/U on SB

Kevin

1:55

How much is too much to give up for Juan Soto? I have an offer on the table for bichette, Hoskins and joe Ryan. I already have trea and story with springer and teoscar so bichette is redundant all around (also have acuna). I feel like Soto is all babip related and I could plus whatever holes the trade might create and build around the superstars.

Paul Sporer

1:56

It kind depends on league size. In a 10- or 12-teamer, I'm certainly open to this bc you're wanting to consolidate talent. In deeper formats, I'm less likely to do deals like this.

Guest

1:56

Rodon's velocity continues to trend downward. Last night, he couldn't go 6 IP against the Tigers. Time to sell him?

Paul Sporer

2:00

Velo was down, but he did go 6.

2:01

Whoops, I hit enter too quickly. The velo dip is scary given his career injury issues, but I'm not rushing to sell here. You can likely still fetch a mint, so do some shopping and if the price is right, don't hesitate to jump
