Hello everyone, thanks for coming!!!

Greg

1:01

Deep 12T points league, pick 2: Nootbaar, Conforto, Suwinski

Paul Sporer

1:02

Tight group, but I'd go Noot-Suwinski-Conforto

Hi Paul,

Paul Sporer

Hi!

Guestavo

1:02

Will I regret dropping J.Baez in a 12 teamer? Replace with KC's M.Garcia??

Paul Sporer

1:03

I really doubt it

Will

1:03

Hi Paul, what do you think the Pads will do with Juan Soto long-term? With the Ballys TV deal falling apart, do you see them being more conservative in their spending? I’m in an NL-only league and am worried I’ll lose Soto to Yankees. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:03

I'd be really surprised if they find a way to give him a huge deal, too. That said, I'm not entirely sure where he will land so you might not lose him to the AL even if he doesn't sign w/SD

Giancarlo Stanton

1:04

patience or panic?

Paul Sporer

1:05

Panic, I'd be OK moving on in some shallower formats

Savages In the Box

Appreciate the time you take out of your day for these.

Paul Sporer

1:05

Happy to do so!

Hey! Can you rank: Casas, Mountcastle, Raley? Thanks

Paul Sporer

1:07

Raley-Casas-Mountcastle is my ranking

Guesty

1:10

Berti's PT going to dry up with the return of Jazz and Segura?

Paul Sporer

1:12

Yes, I think he will struggle to play regularly especially bc he himself isn't doing all that well

Guest

1:13

Siri or Buxton ROS? Are they similar?

Paul Sporer

1:16

They are definitely a lotttt more similar than any of us would've believed coming into the season. If I needed the SBs more, I'd lean a little toward Siri, but overall, I still shade toward Buxton as his projections are a good bit better

Scott TINSTAAPP

1:17

Broke a long slump and won a Perfect Draft tourney last week, felt good! Been enjoying this year's Perfect Team season!

Paul Sporer

1:18

Let's gooo!!! Winning a PD feels so great, especially if you didn't have the best draft only to see the guys pop off unexpectedly! Got some really fun cards coming in tomorrow's content, too... stay tuned!

Mountcastle is 0-14 in rehab. Are we concerned? Is he a drop if I have no IL spots considering how vertigo has affected players in the past (meadows, Frazier, etc). Thanks

Paul Sporer

1:21

Definitely have some concern. I have vertigo (it's dormant most of the time, but the 2 flare ups I had years ago were debilitating. I know not all experiences are the same w/it, though) and I know how much it messes me up just being a random internet dweeb, I can't imagine having it as an athlete. I'm OK cutting in 12s and lower

Manoah

1:21

Is all hope lost for a productive second half?

Paul Sporer

1:21

A lotttt of hope for a good 2H is lost, yes, but I certainly can't quit him forever

Rickey

1:21

Hi Paul: Thanks for doing these! Do you prefer Patrick Bailey or Bo Naylor in a dynasty league?

Paul Sporer

1:22

They are pretty close to me, but I'll lean Naylor long-term still

Do you play much single player on OOTP? If so, how are the trade reputation and trade deadline day features? Thinking about getting it when it goes on the annual All-Star sale.

Paul Sporer

1:25

Looove the single player mode, play it a ton! (a bunch on my YouTube and Twitch channels) -- I love the new deadline and int'l amateur free agent modes, but I've been tepid on the trade reputation function. It feels like it punishes you just for declining a trade from the CPU regardless of how crap it is! That said, the deadline & IAFA features more than cover the reputation being a meager addition this year

1:25

Now that EDC has 3B eligibility, who would you rather move in a 12 team H2H league, Franco or Riley? What kind of return are you looking for for either?

Paul Sporer

1:26

Prefer Franco to Riley but both should fetch a mint. Maybe a big time arm if you need some pitching or a premium OF

Steve

1:26

Is Stephenson droppable for MJ melendez? Offensively they look about the same, but MJ is getting more AB's. Was hoping Stephenon could rebound, but looks like the Reds are moving him down the order and just using him at catcher two out of three days.

Paul Sporer

1:34

I love T Step, he was my dude coming into the year but he just hasn't come through. I'd be OK making the move bc Melendez has more fantasy juice w/the speed. Keep tabs on T Step bc if he gets going, I love him in that park & lineup, but for now, I'd be good w/the move

Why not Zoidberg?

1:34

Not really a question, I just traded C. Javier for Goldschmidt last week and I'm feeling good about it.

Paul Sporer

1:34

Solid move!

Chuck

1:34

Missed out on Jordan Hicks. Any ideas on the next closer to emerge?

Paul Sporer

1:35

It's been tough as we haven't seen many closers emerge but I'll take this opportunity to promote the amazing Reliever Recon Patreon. It's the greatest RP source in fantasy without a doubt and will keep you abreast of all 30 situations as they develop! https://www.patreon.com/relieverrecon/posts

1:35

Is Tim Anderson bad?

Paul Sporer

1:38

With the power sapped and the BABIP not sky-high, yes he is. I can see keeping him reserved just in case he gets right, but I can't envision starting him anywhere and I'm not averse to a shallow league cut

Guest

buying the Kikuchi surgence? Jeff posted how he's working on offspeed velocities to differentiate his pitches better
