Looks brilliant again today! Wonderful matchup and he's taking full advantage. I'm still not blindly starting him & did co-sign possibly just cutting him after this start though I took the chatter's word for it re: the upcoming schedule being hard. That said, it's LAA next but then DET/MIA. So I retract that cut co-sign and I'd bench v. LAA and likely start v. DET/MIA

Christopher Morel

1:47

Did you know that the wind speed created by my swinging strike rate powers Wrigley Stadium?

Paul Sporer

1:47

It's actually been expanding to powering the entire Chicago Land area

Organic Heinz

1:48

Who do you expect to be better RoS between Luzardo and Jo Montgomery for total IP, total K's and ratios?

Paul Sporer

1:48

Luzardo, when it doubt Ks win for me

Dave

1:48

Both Ober and Logan T. Allen have somewhat challenging schedules coming up-- any preference between the two?

Paul Sporer

1:48

Lean Ober's way, he needs to keep those HRs in check

guest

1:48

are you concerned about Trea Turner prolonged slump to start the year?

Paul Sporer

1:49

Not really, no. The tough part is that even if I was, there's nothing actionable about it. There is no format where I'm close to sitting Turner for a single day let alone doing anything more drastic

Dave

1:49

Moniak-- is he fools gold, "should be on someone's team, even if not yours," or PICK HIM UP YESTERDAY? Thinking for relatively standard 12-team, mixed leagues here...

Paul Sporer

1:50

Someone's team, even if not yours to ride the hot streak. He is definitely going to come crashing down w/these skills but I'm willing to see where it goes right now

Adames

1:50

Is the big drop in Hard hit rate a sign of an injury?

Paul Sporer

1:50

It certainly could be. One of those injuries that guys play through and then we learn later it was dragging him down

1:51

Did he have any injury that was a day-to-day thing at any pt this year? Some of those non-IL injuries can sneakily linger

Tommy

1:51

Any concern about Vinnie P?

Paul Sporer

1:52

None. Power is up. AVG is down, but looks heavily BABIP-related.

HarryLime

1:53

I think it's DET/NYY for Kopech next.

Paul Sporer

1:53

I was counting games not days so yes it could be at NYY instead of v. MIA. I'd still hold off on the preemptive cut. Definite sit v. LAA for me but then re-assess depending how that game goes

1:54

7x7 10 tm keeper league (5x5+OBP,SLG,K/BB,QS), I have Bieber, Ohtani, Bryce Miller, Cole, Castillo, Merrill Kelly and Eovaldi. Do I need to try to sell on Bieber? I've always liked him but statcast and everyone else seems to hate him and says to sell high :(

Paul Sporer

1:55

You certainly can as you aren't super reliant on him w/that staff. Might not get a ton of big offers, though, as everyone realizes his Ks are lagging so the offers might come in light

elehuris montero

1:55

Am I coming back soon? Pretty hot down in AAA. Think I can make an impact?

Paul Sporer

1:57

Yeah he's blistering the ball in AAA. I'd say I'm surprised that he's not back up, but it's Colorado, I'm more surprised when they don't do the dumb thing. Solid pwr hitter in Colorado intrigues me when he returns

rocky colavito

1:57

Tristan McKenzie returning in a week. Who to drop amongst DeSciafani, Varland, and T. Wells?

Paul Sporer

1:58

I'm a Wells fan but in that trio, he's last. His ratios are going to regress and that HR rate could make it painful (though the home park helps mitigate some of that risk)

Schilling & Pence

1:58

Time to cut bait on MJ Melendez?

Paul Sporer

1:59

In 1-C leagues for sure. Not sure I'm getting anything better to take shot on in 2-C leagues, though so probably riding it out a bit longer (2-3 wks before checking in again)

Colton

1:59

Got a roster crunch in my 8 man dynasty league. Have to active Bobby Miller by Tuesday next week but the only pitcher not performing is Grayson. Would you do it to not lose Miller? If I don't activate him by Tuesday he goes out on the wire.

Paul Sporer

1:59

If I'm backed into that corner, I'm going Miller right now

Salty

2:00

Ty O'Neil's back still bothering him...did he hurt it from a swing or from Marmol riding him day after day?

Paul Sporer

2:00

When in doubt, blame Marmol... dude is annoying lol

Darin Ruf House

2:00

Any hope for Brady Singer?

Paul Sporer

2:01

He's just a standard streamer. Pick some spots w/him, but don't get caught up in 2022's performance as that was more a run-hot season for his skills than actual skill improvement over his 2020-21 version

Vince

2:01

10-tm H2H category, need a 3B eligible bat (Henderson killing me), which SP of Heaney, Senga, Morton would you trade and which of Gorman or Muncy would you want back? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:02

I'd do a Muncy-for-Morton deal for sure. I'd take Muncy for any of 'em tbh

Chourio

2:03

Am i up this year? Before September? They still have me in AA.

Paul Sporer

2:03

Maybe, but I'd bet against. I won't say 0 chance, but he's not someone I'd be stashing or anything. He only has a 92 wRC+ in AA

Mack L

2:03

Should I drop Patrick Sandoval for E-rod? Due to salary constraints, I would also have to drop Winker (who rarely plays for me) and temporarily play with an open roster spot.

Paul Sporer

2:04

Yes I'm good w/that and ZERO issue merking Winker

Guest

2:04

With all the Tampa breakouts, Harold Ramirez seems "under the radar". He's hitting the ball hard, 92% xba, and has dramatically increased his launch angle (up above 10%, 2x previous years). Why isn't he getting the fantasy love others in that lineup are??

Paul Sporer

2:06

Yeah I feel like he should be right there in the Yandy Diaz lovefest. Mention one, mention the other. Both were guys who were very skilled but lacked the power to super fantasy relevant prior to this year. Yandy is getting his love, but Ramirez remains a bit overlooked (and Diaz has been appreciably better, but Ramirez deserves love & more than a 49% roster rate at Yahoo!)
