Paul, lovin' the podcast. Makes taking my dog out in 90 degree weather much more pleasurable. Thanks!
Paul Sporer
12:55
You're welcome! Podcasts & dog walk is one of my favorite things to do almost every summer evening

Kemp, ~half of Kemp's remaining $, and Drew Pomeranz for Dylan Bundy, Pedro Alvarez and Ubaldo Jimenez's contract. Who says no?
Paul Sporer
12:56
Probably SD
Regular Guy

Does Sonny Gray finish this season with the Athletics?
Paul Sporer
12:56
Yes
Zorak
12:56
Gattis or Martin ROS?
Paul Sporer
12:57
Gattis, even w/more Martin coming on
Ardy
12:57
Assuming Walker is healthy for Sunday, do you start him in Boston?!?!
Paul Sporer
12:57
No
Nas
12:57
Khris Davis is healthy and raking again. Back to being a 10-team bat?
Paul Sporer
12:57
Ya even if he's not being started, that pop has to be on a tm

Is Gausman more than just a streamer in 12 team leagues considering his division?
Paul Sporer
12:59
Not right now. I'm a Gausman fan, but it's just not happening on a level commensurate w/the raw stuff. Maybe I'm giving him a pass, but I can't get beyond Baltimore's inability to develop SPs

time to give up on eovaldi and gausman? both are killing him for the past month.
Paul Sporer
1:00
Depends on lg size, but yeah
steve
1:00
Out of Eickoff, Davies & Bauer who do you like going forward? Any worth owning outright in 10-teamers or are all streamers?
Paul Sporer
1:00
All streamers. I'd lean Eickhoff
Lakos

Heard Aaron Sanchez is going to the pen. So that means its probably unwise to trade for him in a redraft, right?
Paul Sporer
1:01
Yeah that'd be bad. That piece of news definitely blasted his trade value. I still think it's at least a month from happening, but I get it
Joe Beef
1:01
Follow up on the Bregman question. How would Verlander be as a return?
Paul Sporer
1:01
Hot
Lakos
1:01
Concerned about Kluber? I thought he was ok then yesterday happened :(
Paul Sporer
1:02
He's just so hot-cold. It's bc he's the ace of Eno's bad fastball rotation and of course fastball is the most important pitch so when it's off, his secondary stuff can't save him
Greg
1:02
Hey Paul, can only keep 2, M. Frank, J. Lamb, J. Heyward. 1 would be at 3B, the other my utility spot. Normal stats, but also includes Ks. Who should I drop?
Paul Sporer
1:02
Think it'd be Heyward
Matt
1:02
what do the nats do about the closer situation? can they get miller and force pap to the 8th?
Paul Sporer
1:03
yeah i think they make a move. Kelley for now, but they're eyeing NYY for a better closer
Matt
1:03
What about some under-the-radar RP who should be closers... Oh in STL?
Paul Sporer
1:03
Oh for sure. Harris/Kelley were my go to answers on this until about a week ago. More here: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/category/bullpen-report/
Matt
1:04
Are we still underrating Danny Valencia? 22% HR/FB rate the past two seasons, stinging everything he hits.
Paul Sporer
1:04
I probably am. I'm just suspect of a 30-something all of a sudden learning to hit righties, but I'm coming around. All-formats play for sure, but I'm keeping a close eye.
And sadly, I can't rule out a Collabelloian situation
Gorky
1:04
Maikel Franco suitable as my starting 3B in a 10-teamer or should I be seeking an uprade?
Paul Sporer
1:05
It's good enough, IMO. He hasn't been great, but his struggles are generally overstated. Still pacing toward 30/85. I'd buy on Franco rn
The Boss

ROS prediction on Jung Ho Kang
Paul Sporer
1:06
More studliness! He rules
Ritt Momney

When is Glasnow up?
Paul Sporer
1:06
Couple weeks maybe? I really don't know

Is Estrada a dark horse Cy Young candidate?
