Seanto

What's going on with Profar? Dude has struggled recently.

Paul Sporer

12:36

Still pretty green, we shouldn't be too surprised

Reggie

12:36

What's so good about Colome?

Paul Sporer

12:41

Big heat, nasty slider

Alex

12:42

Can you explain Jose Quintana's bad luck on wins? He is pretty consistently good, yet every year he ends up around 9 wins. It seems like after every start the Rotowire blurb includes the phrase "tough luck loss". Is this just an extended run of bad luck or is he doing something specific?

Paul Sporer

12:42

I don't think it's really any specific. He's on a bad team so it can happen, even as consistent as it's been for him

Frank

12:42

What's the "stupid" reason that you and Kastava call homers "bomes"?

Paul Sporer

12:44

We did these sports trivia contests in college (and dominated, mind you). One of the girls who ran it was cool and we thought she was cute, but we learned she had a boyfriend. His last name was Bohm.

Gerrit Cole

12:46

What is my problem against the Reds? They're not a good team, but it seems like every time I pitch vs them I get BOMBED. Career ERA vs CIN is 5.44 with a 1.53 WHIP.

Paul Sporer

12:46

Sometimes we see these quirks with a pitcher against a division foe. it's kinda nuts how bad he is v. Cincy

I am the walrus

Soler’s recent surge gives him average OF stats with upside. With Schwaber and Baez returning next year and 3/5 of Cubs starters out of contract after 2017. Do you think he’s traded for minor league pitching depth? Do you think he could bring back a top 50-75 prospect with who projects to be a good #3 or shoot higher?

Paul Sporer

12:47

Maybe, but it's OK to have depth. Injuries do happen. Heyward hasn't been special. Fowler is done with his deal. I just don't know that they have to hurry to trade Soler

Jerry

Hi Paul

Paul Sporer

12:47

Hello Jerry

JalapEno

12:47

i guess i should ask, would Contreras be worth a keep over Story, Pollock, or Syndegaard

Paul Sporer

12:47

Ehhh, I'd have a hard time doing that

Sean

12:51

AZ team leader in home runs? Yasmany Tomas. 7 more than Goldy now.

Paul Sporer

12:52

I know!! Tomas - whipping boy of Eno and myself making us look terrible

Matt

12:52

Paul, you should get a computer that doesn't hit you. You're better than that. You deserve more.

Paul Sporer

H2H and making the playoffs. Which starting 3some would you rather have for the playoffs? Bautista, Schoop, Bregman or Kemp, Kinsler, Carpenter? Thanks as always

Paul Sporer

12:52

Rasta

12:53

Hey Paul -- how much do you believe in "blocking" your competition in a H2H. I'm carrying 2 catchers in a 1 C league but don't want to drop Wilson Ramos or Gary Sanchez. I'm afraid a competitor with trash at C will get a nice boost going into the playoffs. Hold them both or drop for an additional pitcher streaming spot?

Paul Sporer

12:53

As long as you can afford the spot, I'm OK with it. But the second I need something, I gotta cut a C

Francisco

12:53

Have you gotten a chance to watch TJ Rivera yet--thoughts?

Paul Sporer

12:53

I haven't, no

Toasty

12:53

who is you

Paul Sporer

12:53

I'm Paul

12:54

Are there any ways to set up a way to trade post trade deadline in fantasy baseball (like in MLB)?

Paul Sporer

12:54

Just change the deadline on your league site?

davey

12:54

Hi Paul, thanks for chatting. What do you think of Smyly going forward?

Paul Sporer

12:54

You're welcome. I still think he's really good when healthy, but a constant health risk --- similar to a shit-ton of pitchers, actually

Ave

12:54

Dynasty OBP and SLG league. Would you Trade Wil Myers for Puig and Francisco Mejia?

Paul Sporer

12:55

That's not a bad trade if you're eyeing the future

Gary

12:55

I know his projections suck, but Sandy Leon has been off the chain and is hitting the crap out of everything. Talk to me Sporer.

Paul Sporer

12:58

Obviously riding sky high with BABIP and HR/FB, but looks like there might be something there even after regression

Bill

12:59

Keep forever points league. Better long term OF: Mazara or Bennintendi?

Paul Sporer

12:59

I prefer Maz, but I'm not sure there's a ton of split between them

JackieT

12:59

Do you like Moore for a QSs league? He's got NYM and SD on the docket ...

Paul Sporer

1:00

The way he's been walking guys puts him at risk for a 5 IP start every time out right now, but I like that 2-step week
