Thoughts on Blake Snell next season?

Paul Sporer

3:44

I think we'll see a trim down in the walks and could get a similar ERA with a markedly better WHIP. There'll be bumps still, but plenty of good runs, too. Big on his future.

AJ Pollock top 10 OF next season?

Paul Sporer

3:46

Little lofty for me. Top 20 is still v good, though, and top 10 remains an upside

Would you start Robbie Ray tonight at Colorado?

Paul Sporer

3:46

No, of course not

Miguel Sano

Am I droppable in redraft roto OPSs where I am perpetually on the bench right now as I suck or is there still hope for the remainder of the season?

Paul Sporer

3:49

Depends on how many teams. Power still strong, but ya, OPS is meh. Ks are tough to overcome which was my big concern about him coming into the year and why I tabbed him as a peak Jack Cust for this year

Brew Crew

3:49

Perez and Schimpf. What do you think of them next season?

Paul Sporer

3:49

Perez, Perez, Perez.... which Perez

OOH HERNAN

3:50

I buy Schimpf's power and it's nice out of 2B, though the AVG is likely to remain weak

I'm really uncertainly on Hernan. Saw a bit of him w/the Tigers and thought utility IF, but wow he's been fantasy-excellent this year

3:51

I can't comfortably project that kind of power again for Hernan, but double-digit pop over a full year with 25+ SBs is very useful

Puig or Dahl for my util?

Paul Sporer

3:51

Dahl

Down to Bregman, Benintendi, Belt for my final 2 keeper slots - extra cats BB, K, OBP, SLG, XBH. Who gets thrown back? No position concerns.

Paul Sporer

3:53

That's really tough. I'm usually more conservative w/young players, but these are two of the VERY best in baseball and both have shown some stuff in their short samples (and Bregman perhaps more impressive by coming up after that horrendous start). I think with Belt being at one of the deepest positions, I actually move on from him

You rolling out Bundy vs. the Yanks tonight?

Paul Sporer

3:54

League type would really clarify, but I'm leaning no in most

Phantom of the Chakras

3:54

Hi Paul. Thanks for the chat. You have Danny Duffy high on the end-of-year list, but others at FG are worried about the velo drop. Do you think he sustains the success? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

3:56

It spiked back up to 95 in that thrashing at BOS. I'm not too concerned in a long term situation and this was his first bad start since like late-May.

Jake Lamb

3:56

2017 more like 1st half or 2nd half. I still hit the ball really hard, right?

Paul Sporer

4:00

It's been one bad month - August. I'm still in on Rake Lamb. We knew he'd have some fall off after being SO good for four months

OK y'all. thanks so much for hanging out and adjusting to the new time today. I'll be back next week and I'm aiming to clear the calendar for one of our marathon ones. Feel free to bring some 2017 questions, too.

Have a great holiday weekend!
