Hey Paul, thanks for doing this! Is Strahm droppable in 12 tm H2H daily-moves points league to grab another SP? Some available arms are JP Sears, Grayson Rodriguez, Bradish.

Paul Sporer

1:41

Bradish is the only one I like of that trio, but I'm trying to hold Strahm where I can. He already copped a sneak SV and I wonder if more of that could be on the way w/Alvarado out & Suarez back. He threw in the 7th after the SV and snagged a sneak W, too... I just think he's too good to let him go bc he could be right back in the rotation for any injury they have

Hairball Sound

People have been talking up Houck lately but the results are not there. Drop for Bradish/Canning or an RP?

Paul Sporer

1:42

While I did reco Houck in a couple moves, that was for lower level players. I do prefer Bradish to Houck while he & Canning are pretty close. I'm good make a move

Kyle

Drop any of Correa, JDM, Jung, or Taylor Ward for Lourdes?

Paul Sporer

1:44

I wouldn't object to JDM or Ward. I loved Ward coming in but he's had a nightmare May and if Gurriel is available it's probably a 12-teamer so I get the move... gotta ride hot hands in shallower formats where the waiver pool is loaded with similar talents

Do you think Bieber can continue accumulating value in points leagues as a crafty volume guy? Or is yesterday's start closer to what we can expect with his decreased velo.

Paul Sporer

1:45

I do, I think yesterday was just a standard issue bad outing. Hell, he had 4 scoreless before the ugly 5th

If you're IL stashing one fireballing SP prospect on a bad team in a keeper league, is it Mason Miller or Nick Lodolo?

Paul Sporer

1:49

Lodolo. Just hard to have confidence in Miller's health and he has negative win potential even when healthy

Pedro

Somebody cut Taj B. in my AL only 5x5. Thoughts about what he will do when recalled (maybe tonight) for this year, and what percentage of a FAAB budget would you pay for him? Thanks Paul

Paul Sporer

1:52

I'm still very bullish on him, I'd be very interested!!! Can't pin down a % bc it fully depends on what you have left, your needs, and budget left, but I remain fully bought in!

FAAB

1:53

Vientos or McLain?

Paul Sporer

1:54

McLain for me. Vientos's PT might be sparse and while I do like him as a power bat, it could be pretty all-or-nothing

Bobby Witt is kind of the opposite of Riley Greene in terms of having that fantasy juice, but being a lousy hitter in real life. Do you think Witt is a stable top tier keeper asset for the next handful of years or just too volatile with those plate skills?

Paul Sporer

1:55

The HR/SB juice keeps his floor high while I expect the 23-year-old to develop into a more well rounded hitter as he ages and be a premiere player as opposed to just a good fantasy player

Have you checked out the steep velocity decline for R. Iglesias? https://www.fangraphs.com/players/raisel-iglesias/17130/graphs?pitchgr... Given Minter's woes, is Yates the right fallback closer?

Paul Sporer

1:57

I'm kinda on the Nick Anderson train!

Why is ERod's performance today predictable?

Paul Sporer

1:59

Because he was never staying at that level

re: starling marte

1:59

Any concern about the sprint speed? 11 steals but the sprint speed is like 40th percentile

Paul Sporer

2:00

Not that much, no. Sprint Speed helps with SBs, but it's not at all necessary

Pete

Best starter for rest of season of Ober, Garland, Bryce Miller, Bello, and France?

Paul Sporer

2:00

Ober

ROS, where do you rank Josh Lowe, Kelenic, Harris II, Outman

Paul Sporer

2:01

Lowe, Harris, Outman, Kelenic

Mitch Keller

2:01

I finally put it all together, didn't I?

Paul Sporer

2:02

I think so, yes. Nick & I have a Fireside Chat coming today that covers Keller & others!

Bill

2:02

Do you think Liberatore will stick in STL rotation?

Paul Sporer

2:02

I certainly think he should, tbh

2:04

Sorry for the tight hour today, but I've got back-to-back commitments at 2 & 3pm CT. We'll go longer next week, I appreciate all the questions.

Thanks so much for coming out! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Instagram (p_sporer). I’ll be streaming on Twitch later today and you can definitely come by and ask questions about fantasy there. Have a good one, y’all!
