Hello everyone! Are we recovering from the frenzy?

Walker Buehler

1:01

Level of concern about my injury for next season?

Paul Sporer

1:01

Too early to say.

Chuck

1:01

Is it time to give up on Castellanos?

Paul Sporer

1:03

Definitely depends who you're picking up for him, but my goodness has he been bad! Given the substantial fall off and just utter lack of power, it's hard not to think he's playing through something, right? His skills didn't just melt, right?! At any rate, I understand moving on in shallower formats

Chuck

1:03

Do you believe in Detmers' recent surge? Apparently he tweaked his slider during his recent sojourn in Salt Lake.

Paul Sporer

1:04

I do. I loved him coming into the season! I felt comfortable cutting him when he got sent down based on how things were going, but I'm not at all surprised by the turn in success. I wasn't *certain* it'd come this year, but definitely feel he has massive upside

Quad 8s

Roster crunch drop 1 IL: Severino, J.Gray, Story. 12tm H2h pts league

Paul Sporer

1:04

Sevvy. I have little hope for him rest of season

NicaBeisbol

1:04

Quijada got a shot to close in LAA now? They have to win a few games, right? (AL-only league and desperate since I just lost Iglesias and Tepera is taken.)

Paul Sporer

1:05

He can get some of the opps. when lefties are coming up and if Tepera is booty, Q could get even more. So yeah, I don't mind speculating on him

Degrom

1:05

Was JT Realmuto and Matt Olson too much to give up for me? Change of reinjury or poor performance?

Paul Sporer

1:06

No, I think that's fine. Obv if he gets hurt it is, but that's any trade... I'm OK with this

Jim Leyland Palmer

1:06

How would you rate these options in a Keep Forever league (5x5 H2H 10tm): Strider (kept at 23rd), Wilson Contreras (10th), Riley Greene (17th)?

Paul Sporer

1:06

Greene, Strider, Contreras

Quad 8s

1:06

Roster crunch drop 1 in 12 tm H2h pts: Sonny Gray, Triston McKenzie, Rasmussen (RP eligible), Heaney?

Paul Sporer

1:07

It's Ras for me. His upside is curbed as a five-and-dive so he's the 12-team cut here

Tim

1:07

Talk me off the ledge: Is Giolito gonna be okay?

Paul Sporer

1:09

He might just be OK... but not quite the Gio you drafted. It seems to be inconsistent command start-to-start, inning-to-inning as opposed to one centralized issue to attack

Trey

1:09

Your thoughts on Vin Scully?

Paul Sporer

1:09

The absolute legend. RIP. <3

Ken

1:09

Been enjoying Chapman's hot streak the last few weeks. Do you have any confidence he can at least maintain the power rest of the way, or should I be looking to work him into a deadline deal while he's got a little value?

Paul Sporer

1:10

He was my most drafted player with Luke Voit this year across all my leagues so I believe in Chap!

Guest

1:10

Berti still a hold? His status hasn't been updated in about an eon, and he's a speed play with a groin issue. But...steals.

Paul Sporer

1:11

I can't cut him just yet. He can be SUUUCH a massive game changer that I just can't cut without some news

Chone of the Dead

1:11

Yo Paul! Thanks for this! Do you prefer Bohm or Ke' Hayes ROS in a points league?

Paul Sporer

1:12

They aren't too far off in total skills so gimme the guy on a better team: Bohm

Bruce in 2023

1:12

Stream S.Wathins vs Pit in Bal ? Need the Win . Roto

Paul Sporer

1:12

I'd stream myself v. Pit!

So yes I'm cool taking a shot on Watkins

Lou

1:12

How about that Braxton kid!? I'm not sure I'd ever heard of the guy until a few weeks ago, but have been enjoying the Ks. What's your outlook ROS? And how do you see him developing more long-term (re: potential keeper status)?

Paul Sporer

1:14

Braxton Garrett has been awesome for Miami! I have a lot of confidence in Miami's SPs given their development and friendly park so I'm in here. Riding it for the foreseeable future!

Nucky

1:14

Jeffrey Springs or Ranger Suarez Ros?

Paul Sporer

1:16

I'm inclined to lean a little toward Suarez if only because I'm not sure how many more IP Springs is going to be allowed to pile up as a new SP

Sean

1:16

Is pablo lopez too volatile to roster in 10s?

Paul Sporer

1:17

Not at all. He's an all-formats guy for sure. Even w/the few duds sprinkled in, he's at 3.41/1.12. We knew his insane sub-2.00 ERA would regress and this is that regression

Chuck

1:17

Do you prefer any of these guys over Castellanos?: Naylor, Benintendi, Mateo, S. Brown, Grisham. 12 H2H with OBP + SLG

Paul Sporer

1:17

I prefer Naylor which feels crazy to say but that's where we're at with Casty right now (plus Naylor is a G)

Jim Leyland Palmer

1:18

Thanks! I'm kind of surprised with Greene #1 tbh? I'm obviously a Tigers slappy myself, but I figured that Strider has been elite his rookie year, while Greene has more or less held his own at best. Is this more you being high on Riley or low on Strider?

Paul Sporer

1:18

Re: the keeper question earlier - I'm always going to favor the hitter when it's close! There is just SO much inherent risk with arms
