Clayton Kershaw

2:23

Would you activate and start me tomorrow @Mets or wait and see how tomorrow goes first? I'm torn!

Paul Sporer

2:24

I tend to start the superstars right away so I'd go for him, but I understand the trepidation at NYM. If you're in tight ratio races where 5-6 ER would REALLYYYY sting you, I can see playing it safely, but otherwise I'm going for it

You like Herget for SV for the Angels?

Paul Sporer

2:25

Loved it! I have a few great body comps in the bigs and he joined the list this year! Triston McKenzie is my #1 (outside of 1 obvious difference) at the same height/weight, but Herget really completes the Sporer look with the glasses!

Sean

2:29

Is pomeranz the closer in waiting in SD if hader doesnt get it together? And if hader does, pomeranz the 8th inning guy?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Upon his return you mean? I'd be surprised if Pomy was thrust into the role. I think Nick Martinez could hold it rest of season, tbh

Sean

2:30

Feel like I have to replace javy baez in my 10 at 2B. Gleyber, india, profar, chris taylor, urias and gorman all available. Favorite ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:31

I'm totally OK cutting Baez in 10s. I'd probably go Gleyber but that group is pretty close so maybe let your standings dictate who you go for

Paul - ever play in a H2H league where there is one guy who always seems to get the worst week from his opponent? We have a manager, currently in 2nd place, who's opponents just don't show up on a week to week basis. He's league average to below average in almost all categories, yet he has won two times in the last 4 years! Teams just roll over dead when they play him. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! No question, just absolutely frustrated.

Paul Sporer

2:33

It is NUTSSS when it happens for a whole season! It just seems so statistically impossible and yet if you play enough H2H you will see it (I've seen it a bunch in football since that's almost exclusively H2H), but yeah it's maddening unless you're that guy for the year lol.

Guy Incognito

2:33

Do you only see the question asker's name (that they chose) or do you see who they through their IP address, etc? I like to change up my name depending on the question, but maybe I shouldn't!

Paul Sporer

2:33

I just see the name

2:34

But I don't really focus on it and you will see sometimes that I answer Qs from the same name in multiple questions so don't worry about trying to change up

2:34

Matt Manning got BLOWED up hard last night. Slider wasn't cutting. Was last night an aberration or was he due to come back down to Earth?

Paul Sporer

2:36

Yeah that slider had been killing it during his surge and then last night he was storing planes because it was hangers all night (I know it's hangar... shut up, lol!). He gets B2B v. KC and at KC, so I'm still starting him

2:41

Sorry had to let the dogs out

OkBlueJays

2:41

You should come visit Toronto sometime in the Summer. Lots of fun, I think you'd like it!

Paul Sporer

2:42

I'd LOOVE to get up there and check out a Jays game, too!

Jack

2:42

Would you value a closer like Martinez over Helsley if you are looking for saves? Helsley has the talent but the Cards deployment is frustrating

Paul Sporer

2:45

I'd still go Helsley. They have a legit 1b (to Helsley's 1a) closer in Gallegos (who I loved this year as many will remember) but Helsley got 4 Ws and 3 SVs in August while Martinez only got one extra SV without those wins! Go for the better guy on the better team. If you can ADD Martinez to Helsley, go for that, but not Martinez over Helsley

Does Harold Ramirez make the all under the radar team? I see no love there.

Paul Sporer

2:48

Yes, he does! He and Yandy Diaz have those profiles that often get overlooked. AVG-first profiles where neither HR or SB are a standout category regularly stay a bit under the radar

Todd

2:48

What makes Pratto a markedly better prospect than Pasquantino?

Paul Sporer

2:50

Fair question, I was referring specifically to prospect lists. Pratto was a top 100 guy while Vinnie P was not. Pedigree was the key driver I'd imagine with Pratto being a 1st rounder and Pasquantino an 11th. But I'd have to go through the prospect profiles to see where the split was between 'em.

In a shallow 8 team league, I have Yordan and Robert on the bench because they haven’t hit the IL. Are they too good to drop? Replacement options are Ketel, Verdugo, and Teoscar.

Paul Sporer

2:52

I could do Robert for Teoscar, but that's about it. Frustrating to miss them and not be able to IL 'em, but I'm definitely holding Yordan

2:53

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!
