Both allow too many damn HRs to be all that successful right now
Benny

This is the second straight year that Jesse Winker has had wrist problems. He's pretty risky at this point, no?
Paul Sporer
11:34
Yeah, especially since he was already risky just by virtue of being a prospect. Wrist problems sap power and he didn't have a lot to give
Just add The Weeknd to every song at this point. He's awesome.
Eric
11:35
Is this the level of production we should expect from Jake Lamb moving forward?
Paul Sporer
11:36
No, he's 267 pts ahead of last year's OPS. He's a power beast for sure, but I'd plan for some regression and if he somehow keeps it up, then you get a nice surprise
I'd be careful to expect any big surprises to fully maintain their 1H performance.
Timmy
11:37
Dang you're tall! Did you play basketball!?!?
Paul Sporer
11:37
LOL
"Nope, horse racing was shit, though!"
Avi

After Giolito's struggle in his last 2 starts (both minors and majors), will he remain in the minors until rosters expand or is Joe Ross that far away from returning?
Paul Sporer
11:39
I don't think those starts impact it that much. I think they are going to be cautious with him no matter what
Rick
11:39
Steamer has Brandon Crawford and Brad Miller at the same level of production ROS, is it worth "losing" a trade to get Crawford?
Paul Sporer
11:40
Losing how?
Bart
11:40
Would you take a chance and keep Harvey for next season? I can keep 5 players and my other keepers are Carrasco, Harper, Cespedes and/or Freeman.
Paul Sporer
11:40
No, I don't think so. The return rates from thoracic aren't encouraging at all. I'm on the wait and see train w/Harvey now
Jsd

Building off the don't keep pitchers, how far above a position player would you keep the pitcher? For instance, overall, 30th ranked pitcher over the 50th ranked position player? I tend to not keep a SP unless they are super cheap and reliable ($1 top 30) or amazing stud ($10 Scherzer).
Paul Sporer
11:41
Ya I think you've pretty much got it. They need to be appreciably better or super cheap. It's not that I'll NEVER keep a pitcher, but I'm exhausting all of my hitter avenues first for sure
Billieie

Andrew Miller to TEX trade rumors from a few hours have been shot down all over the place. If Miller does get moved though, no way they wouldn't also move Chapman, right?
Paul Sporer
11:41
I wouldn't say no way
11:42
If they come out of the break 0-5, they're selling off
Curious
11:42
Any chance Yoan Moncada makes it up this year?
Paul Sporer
11:43
Not without injuries. He's a beast, but he's been in AA for 2 minutes and where would he play? I'm not sure they'd push him to the OF for an MLB debut
A-Aron
11:43
Hey Paul - are you activating Darvish for his weekend start against the Cubs? Or is this more of a see how he does and wait until next week.
Paul Sporer
11:44
I think I'm starting Darvish, even v. CHC
John C.
11:44
Paul who do you like better as a 5th outfielder type? Granderson or Kim? Granderson's numbers in the recent RF Contact Report were brutal.
Paul Sporer
11:44
Curtis Granderson is the single best player and human to ever grace this fine Earth of ours
11:45
Kidding aside, I'd make it a needs-based thing. If I need power, Curtis; if I need AVG, Kim
Ricky
11:45
I just traded Sonny Gray for Archer in a ten team points league. How do you see their second half going?
Paul Sporer
11:46
That's a classic challenge trade. I prefer the Archer side.
Eric
11:46
Randal Grichuk: just a solid little run after his call-up or is there something in there to make us believe he's taking a step forward?
Paul Sporer
11:47
He went down and smoked AAA, too. Thing is, he wasn't as bad as the work before his demotion. Think they just wanted him to clear his head
Jeff
11:47
in a 10 team mixed league, needing power and average ROS, who has a better shot Naquin or Kepler? Both are intriguing, just hoping Naquin loses playing time to Brantley when he comes back
Paul Sporer
11:47
I don't trust Naquin's newfound power, so I go Kep
Billieie
11:47
Think Peraza has over 15 steals in the second half? Bruce should be moved... Plus BP has a busted hand and is playing through pain instead of surgery.
Paul Sporer
11:48
Ya I can dig that for sure
Tom Veryzer
11:48
If Madsen is dealt, is Dull or Axford the closer
Paul Sporer
11:48
I think Dull gets the look
greg
11:48
So if the home team supplies the bat boy for the visitor, do they just stash 29 different sets of tiny away team uniforms?
Paul Sporer
11:48
Oh wow, that's a hilarious and interesting question. I really don't know
