Paul Sporer

Only 65 PA for him and the Mets offense has been in a bit of a malaise. I suspect he & the Mets will be fine!

Siri

Drop Detmers for Varland?

Paul Sporer

2:05

No, I can't do that. Detmers is better than his 5.10 ERA. Gotta be someone worse to cut

Hunter Greene

2:05

Would you keep me on the bench me given the risks (home park, high WHIP, Verlander opposing)?

Paul Sporer

2:06

Probably paid too high a price for him to be a half pitcher if you're going to avoid home starts. We knew the risks coming in. Too much upside for me to sit. I totally get the risk you outline, but I signed up for it w/Greene

Salty

2:06

Joked about Baez's HR output in your chat last week, and he proceeded to homer off of J Mont and cost me H2H ERA! I take back everything I said, Javy B is a great hitter (especially against my pitching)...

Paul Sporer

2:06

He's been rolling since the benching. Hinch handled it well & Baez responded well both in his words & actions

2:07

I know the new rules ads w/the players get played a ton, but a couple of em really make me laugh including Tim Anderson & Blake Snell's. "Maybe you should hold onto your hat" loool

Nestor & Trevino are good, too

Sean

2:07

When Bader is healthy, is he a top 30 OF? Would you drop Baty or Jose Abreu for him?

Paul Sporer

2:08

He's in that range. I looove Bader. It's just that he's never healthy. I'd be OK w/the Abreu drop for him

Keith Hernandez’ cat

2:08

Thx for the chat, Sr. Paulo. Thx for the daily SP column!

Paul Sporer

2:08

You're quite welcome!

You buying low on Arenado? Hard to interpret yesterdays article whether it was more like "this is what he is" or "he maybe isnt last year great but he is still very good"

Paul Sporer

2:09

Yeah I am. There's always an established superstar or 3 each yr that get off to a brutal start like this but then eventually find their level. Sometimes they get alll the way back & you can even tell they started slowly and others hit like themselves for 4 or so months, but maybe were too bad in the first 6-8 wks to completely erase the impact in terms of their bottom line

Sim

2:09

JJ Bleday looks like a possible breakout candidate with the reduced whiff %. you buying?

Paul Sporer

2:10

Long-time Bleday backer and been hoping he could cut into the Ks. So far he has, so I'm rolling with him! If the Ks start shooting back up, we can adjust. For now, 12s and deeper pickup (5 OF)

Meh

2:10

Sell or hold on Jarren Duran in a 5x5 keeper leagues

Paul Sporer

2:10

Ride the wave. Not sure it's a true breakout over a hot streak, but worth seeing where it goes

Bomo

2:10

Should I trade Anthony Rizzo for Nick Lodolo.

Paul Sporer

2:10

That seems fine w/out knowing any league info

B'ryce Hammer

2:10

Dylan Cease comes standard with a bottle of antacids on draft day. It's just part of who he is. He'll go on a heater soon..

Paul Sporer

2:10

Totally agree

Tom

2:11

Are you starting Brady Singer tomorrow against the White Sox?

Paul Sporer

2:11

I am not

troke

2:11

Is Lauer droppable at this point in a deep NL-only, or is these recent shellackings a blip?

Paul Sporer

2:11

I think he's back to 2018-19 Lauer, but that's probably still viable in NLs

Bomo

2:11

Should I trade Rizzo for Lodolo? 10 team league, 5x5 + OPS and Q

Paul Sporer

2:11

Oh crap, you added context in a later msg! Yes, I'm fine w/this

GotG

2:11

Bibee's last start was less than thrilling. Any concern or just a blip? Any positives?

Paul Sporer

2:11

Not worried, everyone gets got at times, sometimes it's v. beatable teams, too

Tigers win!

Andres Gimenez

2:14

I want him out of my life. Is he an immediate drop in 12 team H2H once I get Altuve back?

Paul Sporer

2:16

You have such a good replacement that you caaannn when Altuve returns, but I'm probably waiting out the rest of this month before making a move on him anywhere. 2 months isn't some magic time, but Memorial Day is kinda my first big cutoff for top 10 rounds guys to see where they're at

Guest

2:16

Hi Paul - M. Vargas or Josh Lowe ROS in 12 team H2H league?

Paul Sporer

2:19

Lowe's doing much more fantasy wise right now, rolling with him

Kevin

2:19

when streaming bats in a shallow league, what's most important to you - pitcher matchup, platoon splits, or ballpark?

Paul Sporer

2:21

Pitching matchups and ballparks go under schedule, but the pitchers will have a bigger effect on how good the matchups are. Platoons get a liiittle consideration and mostly as they pertain to the player's chances of being in the lineup. Actual platoon splits aren't terribly stable overall.

Brad

2:21

Is Winker toast? He's been bad for over a year but the projections like him for a 120 wRC+. Is he rosterable in a DEEP dynasty league?

Paul Sporer

2:22

Yeah I didn't mind taking a shot on him w/the lowered price, but he just has NO pop right now. I'm not against moving on from him anywhere
