Texas Terror

1:26

Is Texas scary enough that I should leave Ohtani at DH tomorrow instead of using as a pitcher? (Yes, daily dual Ohtani is the best thing in the world)

Paul Sporer

1:26

Yeah, no sense taking the risk IMO, especially when the backup is getting his hitting stats!!

Jack

1:26

I'd have to drop Eloy or Chafin to hold both of Peralta and Paxton, I'm already leading the league in Ks so don't really need both starters more than I think I need stray saves

Paul Sporer

1:27

OK based on your sitch, I understand not holding both SPs. And I guess Peralta's ERA is such that he won't automatically be scooped off the wire, either

Vladdy

1:28

Would you trade me for G. Cole? My two keepers in an 11-team rotisserie would be Cole and Carroll.

Paul Sporer

1:28

Yeah no issues with a stud-for-stud deal like that

Elm

1:28

Big thanks for the chat!! Phillies folks have had some quotes about Darick Hall needing to "play his way" onto the active roster. I think he'll need to rev back into gear, but it feels like the roster spot will be his once he's full speed. Is Kody Clemens really going to block him?

Paul Sporer

1:30

As a Longhorn myself, I root for Clemens, but I don't really think he's gonna block off Hall. Clemens could stick and maybe Harrison is at risk upon Hall's return?

Rickey

1:30

Do you think Neto and Julien are strong adds in a redraft league? And overall, which would you prefer in dynasty?

Paul Sporer

1:30

I'm interested in both, yeah. I lean Julien slightly in dynasty, but both have their perks depending on needs.

Severi-NO!!!

1:30

Injured? In a slump? 4 seam velos last 5 starts: 96.2 (yesterday), 95.6, 95.0, 98.0, 96.7

Broken Bat

1:31

Severino is really broken… no to little movement compared to prior injury. Really only has a FB at 93mph. Hard hit up, everything bad but holding steady on k’s. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

1:31

These were literally back to back in the queue!

1:33

I'm definitely concerned about Sevvy especially with his injury history. Trip to BOS this wknd and home v. TEX next week... no need to start him in either. I'm probably still trying to hold in case it's just a blip, but not a must-start right now

Chip

1:34

I have Outman in an NL-Only because it's slim pickings and I had hope he'd pick it back up but I'm getting concerned. At this point, should I drop him for either Pham or Matos (other options are Dickerson or I guess Pavin Smith)?

Paul Sporer

1:38

Wooow I didn't realize how in the tank Outman has been since the hot April. Sub-.600 OPS since May 1st. Originally I couldn't believe you were gonna cut in NL Only, but maaannn... with the PT down as well as the performance, I'm down to go for either Pham or Matos. Kind of a coin flip there. Shiny new toy or known commodity.

Broken Bat

1:38

Michael Taylor is close to being mvp so far for twins…agree?

Paul Sporer

1:39

Damn near at the very least, right? Gold Glove CF defense plus a capable bat! Super fantasy viable too with 10 HR/11 SB

Insert Witty Name Here

1:39

Elly and Strider for Freeman and Dansby a fair swap? Worried the league is going to adjust to Elly, and Dansby has to start getting rewarded.

Paul Sporer

1:41

Yeah I think that's a fair sell high on the Elly hype. I love him, too, but also can see the league punishing those Ks. No issues co-signing this deal

Guest

1:41

got offered Ezequiel Duran for Matos in a keeper league. Would you do it?

Paul Sporer

1:41

Definitely no issues there

Riding the Struggle Bus

1:41

Is Bibee a streamer now? 12tm H2H; might need his roster spot for a hitter (Gallo or Rooker maybe)

Paul Sporer

1:42

After 1 bad start that was primarily a bad 1st inning? Naaah. 2.43 ERA in the 5 starts before that. He remains a set & forget for me

dunnarama

1:42

Hey Paul, very much enjoy your content but in a quandary. Need to drop one of Bailey Ober, Garrett Whitlock, Freddy Peralta. Thinking Ober....but it's a tough call!

Paul Sporer

1:44

Ober might actually be my favorite of the bunch. Bottom line is that it's a close trio for sure so it's not an easy choice, but I lean toward moving off Whitlock from that group

Ravaged by Injury

1:44

Trying to trade for JD Martinez and Kwan. Offering JRam and a pitcher. Who gets it done between Sears, Bradish, Bryce, or Ober?

Paul Sporer

1:46

Any of them should but I don't think I'm down to trade J-Ram there. I know JD looks fully back as a premiere hitter, but this still feels like a sell low on J-Ram. If you're married to the deal, I'd include Sears. But I'm reluctant to sell Ramirez here

Kevin

1:46

Is TB ever going to let Bradley go 6 IP? I'm chasing QS and he has a great matchup (@OAK) tomorrow.

Paul Sporer

1:47

Chasing QS and rostering Tampa Bay starters isn't a great mix

BA barracus

1:47

B. Anderson teased early on this season with the Brewers that he was going right back to his prior mid-tier fantasy usefulness. Was that just a mirage?

Paul Sporer

1:55

It's really just a 2 wk cold streak after a .769 OPS & 8 HR in 50 gms before that. I understand moving on in shallower formats where he's still on a roster bc he's the kind of guy to burn & churn in those formats, but I'll ride out the cold streak in deeper leagues

Blake Snell

1:55

Do you think the turnaround he's made over his last four starts is legit?

Paul Sporer

1:57

Legit in that he stays at that level? Probably not. I mean we saw how he went off in the 2H last yr, but even in this 4 start run he still has an 11% BB rate so w/the control issues always present, it's going to keep him volatile

Thairo Estrada

1:58

"sell high" (not actually doable with his power-speed combo), or is he going to be one of those Statcast outperformers despite a sub-5 walk rate

Paul Sporer

1:59

I was pretty out on him during draft season but even with half the season left, I'm down to eat the L. Agree that he won't really bring much in the trade market so might as well just ride it out

L-A Loosh

1:59

Have prospect evals missed something with the hit tool for CES? Fangraphs has him 30/35. He has a .328 career BA in the minors and over the past month, his BB/K is basically even. Getting a lot of hype, but should it be more hype???

Paul Sporer

2:02

No, a month of good plate skills doesn't really change things after a minor league career of pretty poor BB/K. He's run pretty high BABIPs in the minors, smashing the hell outta the ball. He might be better than 30/35 but I still don't see him with a major hit tool. A power guy in Cincy excites me even if the AVG isn't expected to be great, though!

bcbcbc

2:03

Drop Ober or Detmer for Skubal?

Paul Sporer

2:03

I have Detmers slightly ahead of Ober. Anyone else you could cut & keep Ober?
