Paul Sporer

1:01

Hello everyone! Thanks for coming out!

Hank Scorpio

1:01

Hey Paul, thanks as always for the chat. Are we ready to move on from Taylor Ward in 12tm roto? Starting to lose PT, maybe it'll be a ss platoon eventually, but it's looking grim

Paul Sporer

1:02

Yes, unfortunately. Just no pop & now not playing. Loved him coming into the season but it's just not working right now

Kate

1 catcher OBP dynasty league. Need to drop one of Grandal, Garver or Elias Diaz when Garver is activated. Who's your drop?

Paul Sporer

1:03

Probably Garv, wanna ride out the Diaz hot streak

Tiger Beat

1:03

I've been trying to ride the hot hand between Andy Ibanez and Nick Maton, but I'm losing. Do you like either in an OBP league?

Paul Sporer

1:03

Not reallyyyy, no

HarryLime

1:03

Drop Kopech after this start because of future mad schedule?

Paul Sporer

1:04

In anything less than 15 tms, I'm OK w/that if you don't have the reserve. I know he's been great today & last time out, but I'm still skeptical in tough matchups

Clint Collector

1:04

Clint Frazier is back. How deep of an OBP league is he rosterable, from 12-team to AL Only to Frazier Only?

Paul Sporer

1:04

Yeah that's deep enough

robert

1:04

Have Blackburn coming off IL in next few weeks. Order for ROS? Bobby Miller, Oviedo, Blackburn

Paul Sporer

1:04

The order you listed 'em

Jim Leyland Palmer

1:05

Is Morel a sell "high" at all costs guy? Obviously enjoying the run, but all the metrics and advice say this is not remotely sustainable. But is there a foundation for a useful top 100 hitter ROS here when he enviably cools down? If no ones trying to buy him, its hard be offering him around and expect a great return. Would you be fine keeping him or would it be a missed opportunity not to sell now?

Paul Sporer

1:05

Sell high if you can, but otherwise ride it out and be ready to move on when the weak plate skills catch up & he cools down. He wasn't this hot last yr, but we saw him run hot & fade hard. I expect similar this year

reggie

1:06

you buying in on conforto assuming he stays healthy or do you just view this as a hot streak?

Broken Bat

1:06

Conforto. Hot week or coming back to life?

Paul Sporer

1:08

Power stroke looks back, I'm buying into this and picking him up where available (36% at Yahoo!)

Cleveland Steamers

1:08

Time to cut bait on Andres Gimenez? He's been riding my bench for almost a month now and just looks awful. Drop for DeJong or Caballero?

Paul Sporer

1:11

Yeah I'm OK cutting in 12s and lower, probably still holding in a 15 as I do think the .266 BABIP will regress and he's still pacing for 11 HR/25 SB despite the ugly slash line. Gotta play more hot hands in shallower formats, though, so he can go for DeJong

Frank Thomas the Tank Engine

1:11

Is Griffin Canning usable in standard AL only leagues? The waiver wire is bare to say the least.

Paul Sporer

1:11

Oh for sure. I think he's rosterable in some mixers so definitely an AL only guy

May Day

1:11

Trevor May is back in the bigs. Is he the Oakland reliever to own for saves? (Trick question: they don't get saves!)

Paul Sporer

1:11

Yeah sure, but like you said, you're not getting anything much w/OAK

reggie

1:11

today aside, whats up with adames? whats your concern level out of 10? hes been pretty tough to roster (in shallow leagues)

Paul Sporer

1:13

He's just gotta get his punch back. Maybe today can be the start of doing so. That's really the only difference, but it's a big one with a 10-pt HardHit rate drop. Still has 9 HR/4 SB so while the AVG does suck, he's not a total fantasy dud

Jim Leyland Palmer

1:13

Should I believe in Berrios as a decent arm to roster in a 10tmer?

Paul Sporer

1:13

Yes, he's an all formats start for me

Hank Scorpio

1:13

I have a contingency trade being considered: my Alcantara/Vargas for their India/Reynolds, the catch being Sandy needs to perform well in Denver today. No question here, I want the trade, just prayers for Sandy

Paul Sporer

1:14

I'm still bought in on Sandy. I just don't think he's anywhere near a 5.00 ERA guy

I Used to be Mel Clark

1:14

Which middle infielders do you like more ROS out of Paul DeJong, Christopher Morel, and Rodolfo Castro. 16 team, OBP league. Thanks, Paul!

Paul Sporer

1:14

I wouldn't focus ROS w/any of them. Those are streamer hitters who will have major hot & cold streaks. Ride the Morel train right now and adjust when he inevitably comes down

Marcus

1:14

What do you make of Castellanos? I drafted him hoping for a rebound, but he doesn't look much different (high BABIP/inflated BA aside) from 2022. Roughly where would you rank him ROS among OF in a 12 team 5x5 (OPS instead of BA) mixed?

Paul Sporer

1:18

At least the AVG is up but yeah I was hoping for the power to come back and it just hasn't. His FB rate is down 12 pts which explains the trade of HRs for base hits. Approx. a Top 40 OF?

Farhandrew Zaidman

1:18

Bobby Miller. No question, just Bobby Miller.

Paul Sporer

1:19

Fantastic debut!

HarryLime

1:19

Any hope for Burnes? I mean 4 dingers!!!

Paul Sporer

1:19

I won't rule out improvement, but it's starting to look like this isn't going to be an ace season. Not really actionable, though, bc I'm still starting him everywhere

Matt

1:19

James Paxton - top 50 SP ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:19

If his health cooperates, I can see it, yes
