I see some streamer viability, but I have a hard time trusting him as anything close to a set it and forget it until he reigns in the HR issue

Ottoneu FG points league - rebuilding and scooped up an $8 Verlander. Good buy, or is he cooked.

Paul Sporer

1:40

Solid buy. Not peak JV, of course, but still worth $8!

Why not Zoidberg?

1:40

Roster crunch with Muncy and Jazz coming back. 8-teamer H2H. I'm leaning toward dropping Taj and Bryce Miller with other options like Seiya, Happ, or Detmers. Those two the right call?

Paul Sporer

1:41

Yep, I'm good with those two!!

Bandon Brelt

1:41

hey Paul, need to drop one of the following pitchers to activate Jazz: Paxton, Braxton, Eflin or Steele? It hurts my heart to potentially let any of them go

Paul Sporer

1:43

That is a toooouuuggghhh cut and I feel word recommending the cut of someone with a 2.62 ERA and yet here we are: my pick is Steele from that really tough group!

Whoa-tani

1:43

Can we just marvel at Ohtani?! There literally may never be another player like this

Paul Sporer

1:44

He is an absolute treasure! Perma-MVP and it's not even close!

Steve

When you didn’t like Gavin Williams.

Paul Sporer

1:44

Pardon?

RAH

Trying to find a 1Bman until Bryce Harper gains eligibility: would you ride the waiver wire with guys like Garrett Cooper, Ryan O'Hearn, Moustakes, etc, or trade for someone like Justin Turner or Lamonte Wade? Can Wade keep this up?

Paul Sporer

1:45

I think Wade can stay good, but I'd rather play the wire than trade for him bc I don't think the difference between Wade and streaming is all that much

Lance Lynn

1:45

Am I just a high K, high ERA guy now this season? Any reason I started giving up a ton of BBs and HRs?

Paul Sporer

1:51

A lot of "one bad inning" syndrome with Lynn so despite his mid-6s ERA, there has been a lot of good within his 90 IP believe it or not! The HR problem isn't terribly new, just exacerbated a bit, but more than 2x his BB rate is wild. I wouldn't be at all surprised by a 2H surge with a new team and would love to see Cincy go for him... though their park wouldn't necessarily help the HR issue. He's a team streamer at best right now, but I can't fully quit Lynn

Man, Allard didn't even make the starting pitching chart for today. But a line of 4 2/3 with 3H 1BB 8K and 0R would be pretty solid in most leagues. Is this a fluke or is he worth keeping an eye on?

Paul Sporer

1:54

He's 23rd on the sheet. I mean, I didn't reco him for any league, but there was no discernible reason to do so in his season debut given his ugly MLB track record. Not a bad outing and it puts him on the radar but I'm not rushing to get him or anything. If he stays on track, it sets up for an at CLE start next wk which could have some deep lg appeal

Hi Paul - in a yahoo 12 tm h2h points league. Worth dropping Taj Bradley or Logan Allen for Josiah Gray or a multi-inning RP like Sborz?

Paul Sporer

1:55

No I don't think so

Bradley getting merked by ARI was a bummer, but the Baby Snakes rule and it was on the road. I'm not off of him based on that

1:56

Hold Lourdes through this slump, or stash Cowser?

Paul Sporer

1:56

I'd hold Gurriel. Seems like a standard cold snap as opposed to signs of major trouble

Guest

1:56

Paul you are not a random internet dweeb lol

Paul Sporer

1:57

Thank you!

Manoah is really just justifying every OOTP save where he completely melts, which sucks, because when he's good he's SO FUN. Like the All Star game mic moments.

Paul Sporer

1:57

LOL I didn't even think about that. It has pissed me off as I regularly acquire him in my saves over the last 2 seasons and he rarely ends up as more than a mid-rotation guy. OOTP knew!!!!

Steve

1:58

Referencing last weeks chat when you were out on Gavin in every scenario presented to you.

Paul Sporer

2:03

This feels like an attempted gotcha but I'm entirely sure why... first off, do we get to go through and pick out the things I got right last week, too? I don't regret choosing to cut him in this group:

Jax: Would you drop any of the following for Logan Gilbert: Eury, Pablo Lopez, Bryce Miller, Gavin Williams

And I said to take him & Bibbee in this deal:

Katie: I was offered Bibbe and Gavin Williams for Sandy Alcantara in a dynasty. Should I take it?

And then I said to stick w/Allen over him here:

Guest: Drop Logan Allen to pick up Gavin Williams? 10 team points league

Not really sure I made any egregious errors there. A great outing v. KC doesn't really change any of that IMO

Kyle

2:03

Crazy to cut Correa for Royce Lewis? Yes, Correa is definitively my worst hitter

Paul Sporer

2:04

Need league settings on questions like this, but I don't hate this move. I've always loved Correa, but I'm fully in the tank for Lewis, too, and he likely has more fantasy juice pound for pound

Guest

2:04

but Paul, you said GAVIN WILLIAMS RAR RAR BLARRH RAR

Paul Sporer

2:05

lol I'm not even trying to be uber-defensive, but I was surprised to see where I picked guys over Williams and they all felt pretty defensible

Tyler

2:05

Santander or Verdugo RoS?

Paul Sporer

2:06

It's close and if you don't have specific category needs, I lean Santander by a little bit

B'ryce Szymbobski

2:06

Paul, you are SUCH a random internet dweeb!

I kid, I kid

Paul Sporer

2:06

Truuuee!! :)

Re: Allard

2:06

It was vs the Twins so any starter is guaranteed a TON of Ks

Paul Sporer

2:07

That's definitely a fair point! Still felt there was some major downside w/Allard, but yeah if you need Ks, streaming v MIN is usually a good idea

Phil

2:07

Keeper league. If someone offered Cease and Detmers for my Eury, would you accept?

Paul Sporer

2:07

I would, yes
