How much more rope should we give Michael Harris? Do you think there are underlying health issues there?

Paul Sporer

2:08

Wasn't the biggest Harris fan coming into the season, but still can't cut him just yet. He hasn't even eclipsed 100 PA yet. I understand if you're benching, but it's too early to cut IMO

Riding with rooker

2:08

How much longer should i give rooker? I've tried to shop him but haven't gotten any bites and having him and teoscar in my OF has been painful recently

Paul Sporer

2:10

He was always going to come crashing back to earth w/his swing-and-miss. We've seen it on display in May w/a .634 OPS. I'm not against cutting for someone else before he sinks further. Power can hold all yr, but w/a poor AVG and horrendous R/RBI on that team

2:10

Eduardo Rodriguez. Hold and see what happens or sell high? (14 team standard)

Paul Sporer

2:10

If you really can sell high, but I'd be surprised if he was seen as anything other than himself (a solid mid-rotation arm w/a mid-to-high 3.00s ERA outlook)

Kate

2:11

I'm guessing this is probably a career year that we're seeing for Arozarena, but is there anything here that could stick in terms of sustained improvement?

Paul Sporer

2:12

Much better plate skills, tattooing the ball and while the .350 BABIP is kinda high, it's only slightly above his career .342 mark

Guest

2:15

Should I trade Corbin Burnes for Soto? My pitching is way ahead of offense, but Burnes at a good keeper price while Soto is not. 12 team 6x6 w/ OPS and QS

Paul Sporer

2:15

Yes I'd definitely take that

Colton

2:15

Report came out that the White Sox are going to try Burger out at 2b. How much of a bump would that positional flexibility give him moving forward?

Paul Sporer

2:16

I think Justin was mentioning that for when Moncada returns. That kinda pop at MI could be sharp. I've always like Burger. If he can stay healthy & playing, he's a major HR threat

dave in slc

2:16

higher on miller or stone ros? i need to replace May

Paul Sporer

2:17

Definitely Miller and that's not just an overreaction to their MLB samples, I liked Miller more for this yr coming into the season

Farhandrew Zaidman

2:17

Is defense just not an organizational priority for the White Sox? Burger at 2B, really?

Paul Sporer

2:18

It's not like Alberto is picking it all that well over there and his bat is markedly worse

Dave

2:18

Another 0-4 for Heim today and in a bit of a slump over the last couple weeks. Did the league catch up to whatever changes he'd made, or is this just an "ehhh... it's a long season" cold spell?

Paul Sporer

2:20

The latter, IMO. Figured he'd come down from the blistering April. Think he can be a solid high-.700s/low-.800s OPS guy the rest of the way

Kevin

2:20

Is the JD Martinez renaissance real, or just a hot streak? Statcast looks great.

Paul Sporer

2:23

Yeah the power surge looks legit and he's raking vRH, I'm in!

Knoblauch

2:23

2B is barren even in 12 team mixed. Anybody to dream on among Cabellero, Valdez, Owen M, McKinstry?

Paul Sporer

2:24

McKinstry & Owen Miller have been showing some things to get me a little intrigued, especially w/the SBs

Guest

2:24

Jack Flaherty worth a pick up in 12tm leagues?

Paul Sporer

2:25

Sure, I don't trust him all that much but at CLE/at PIT for his next 2 is streamer worthy

LightSABR

2:25

MJ Melendez or A. Kirk ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:26

Kirk

2:26

Why wouldn't they just move Moncada to 2B?

Paul Sporer

2:26

That's what I said! Maybe they prefer him at 3B and want to essentially hide Burger at 2B??

Jon

2:26

Outman's been pretty bad for a month now. Time to move on in 14 or 15 teamers, or do you think he turns it around?

Paul Sporer

2:28

Reluctant to cut just yet, but always figured the extreme swing & miss would catch him to him after the blazing April. Probably still reservable in lgs that deep, but if there's someone you love on the wire and he's your only cut, I'm not gonna crush the move

Stick to Sporer-tzball

2:28

Would you sell low on Michael Harris while he still has ROY name recognition? 12 team keeper mixed

Paul Sporer

2:28

Yeah, I'm down w/that

Bob

2:28

Do you think the O's call up Westburg soon and how do you think he will perform when he gets the nod?

Paul Sporer

2:33

He's blasting AAA right now and Mateo's bat has evaporated after the fast start (though I imagine his glove is a good bit better than Westburg's). His power might not fully translate as a righty going to Camden, but I'd be interested in him in 12s & deeper upon arrival

Marty McFly

2:33

Does Varsho have keeper value in your opinion (12 team, 5 keepers) if he loses C eligibility next year?

Paul Sporer

2:33

Yeah he's good enough to be a starting OF even w/out the C intrigue. I'd draft him a bit later, but still like him overall

Bob

2:33

Zack Greinke, is he washed up?

Paul Sporer

2:34

He's been washed! Still good for some solid outings, but the downside risk is rarely worth betting on the upside since he Ks so few
