I avoid LAD, HOU, and at COL with any non-ace. It's not even that I don't think Singer - who I quite like - can find some success, but I'm trying to avoid the 10-run bomb and those are the 3 most likely scenarios where that can happen. at NYY isn't great, either, and I try to avoid it, too.

Vaughn Grisham worth a flyer?

Paul Sporer

1:27

Yes, mentioned him earlier, but that was before everyone was here so decided to throw another one just to put a cap on Grissom: dude was DOMINATING A+/AA prior to the call up and I'm open to taking a shot in most formats, especially if your offense is struggling and you're hoping to find lightning in a bottle

Phil

1:27

How about Elly De La Cruz coming on strong in dynasty leagues! No real question, other than pointing out how fun he has been to follow this year.

Paul Sporer

1:28

I actually learned about him via OOTP (Out of the Park Baseball) when he developed for the Reds and become a god!! Hit 50 HR 2x, was just a power stud. Now obviously, that's just a video game and it's not 100% who he will become - in fact I've had sims where he kinda meanders along as a bench/semi-starter type, but I love the talent and definitely would be seeking him out in dynasty formats

Dying in this Kansas Heat

1:28

Is there an easy way of sorting a closer's stats in save situations vs non-save situations? I have a feeling that Raisel Iglesias non-save ratios would be close to infinity.

Paul Sporer

1:29

BRef has the splits - https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=iglesra01&yea... - Iglesias not too much worse in Non-SV sitch

Yasmani Grandal

1:30

I am now a two outcome player. Walks and Ks. I don't even swing at pitches anymore.

Paul Sporer

1:30

lolololol

Daniel

1:30

Is Trout for deGrom even for a 12 tm points keeper?

Paul Sporer

1:30

Yes that's totally fine

Buff

1:30

Does Lewin Diaz have a shot at regular PT for the Marlins next year?

Paul Sporer

1:31

Yes, definitely has a good shot. I'd be surprised if MIA picked up their side of Aguilar's mutual option

Freshbasil

1:32

I can't stop comparing Michael Harris to a young Cutch recently. With better defense and less of an eye. Am I wrong?

Paul Sporer

1:34

That's not a bad a comp with the qualifiers, but I'd probably just go toward more of a Carlos Gomez outlook because Harris' plate skills are SO much worse than Cutch's. Remarkably exciting player to be sure

1:35

I'd take Pratto over Walsh for sure. I'm intrigued by Montero, but only at home

McBoatface

1:35

Hurting at the corners. Do you think Pratto or Elhuris Montero offer ROS upgrade over Walsh or G Cooper?

Paul Sporer

1:35

Whoops, gotta add the question before answer it lol

Nucky

1:35

Do you think Kershaw and Bryant are holds or Would you release?

Paul Sporer

1:36

I've been much quicker to move on from long-term injury guys this year and with so little time left in the season, I'd move on from both in pretty much any mixer

Honkus Wagner

1:36

will D May be showing up in your next SP ranks?

Paul Sporer

1:38

Yes, since he's on rehab. Those will be out tomorrow or Friday. Got pushed back a bit bc I got hit with a bout of COVID. Stay tuned for 'em!

The Ghost of Todd Helton

1:38

Pasquantino or Torkelson in '23?

Paul Sporer

1:38

I'll still be on Tork over him, but I am a Vinnie P fan. I can envision some teams with both based on my assumed costs of both

Captain Kirk

1:39

What do I make of Alejandro Kirk? He was so so hot in June. He still has great plate disciplin and contact skills. He still hits the ball hard. Looking at Savant, his peak this year corresponds to sweet spot hitting, which does not look sustainable.

Paul Sporer

1:41

Feels like standard regression to me off a blazing hot streak. Not panicking or taking him out of the lineup

James

1:41

Hi Paul, Thoughts on Berrios tonight and Kopech on Fri.

Paul Sporer

1:42

Starting both, but definitely have some nerves even with solid setups - Berrios in BAL, Kopech v. DET. Just can't sit em for those matchups

Throw the Keys to Dylan Cease

1:43

Should I be concerned about Trey Mancini's PT in Hou?

Paul Sporer

1:46

No, I'm not worried. I know he's played 4/6 so far w/HOU, but I think he's more of an 80% guy at least (like 5 of every 6)

BRB - AC guy is here & I gotta let him in

1:49

OK back!

jon

1:49

Lodolo more than a streamer in 12'ers? SP5/6 type?

Paul Sporer

1:54

He's at least a Team Streamer for me so when I sit him, I just reserve him, I can't let him back out in the pool right now.

Terry

1:54

Is it time to drop Ozuna?

Paul Sporer

1:54

Yes, all formats

Guest

1:55

Who do you like among E. Cabrera, Lodolo and Dustin May?

Paul Sporer

1:55

Lodolo, Cabrera, May. I understand stashing May because he's electric and could deliver some upside down the stretch, but keep the expectations in check. A TJ returner on a team known for being conservative w/their pitchers could have him in a 2-4 IP range with plenty of relief work.

1:57

Thoughts on Chris Taylor and Brendan Donovan as deep league all-position bench players? Both seem to be having problems getting playing time. Is it time to drop them both?

Paul Sporer

1:58

Taylor is just back from the IL so I think he's being worked back in and virtually any injury puts him back in full-time. I'm definitely holding him. Donovan is the classic better IRL player than fantasy one. Elite plate skills but no real fantasy goodness
