Potat-oh

What happens with Reese Olson...and by extension the Tigers SP's...now that they have some guys getting healthy again?!?

Paul Sporer

1:25

I think he's a multi-inning RP like we saw yesterday for now, though I'd be surprised if we don't see him in the rotation again at some pt this yr

A Salty Scientist

1:25

McLain looking like a a cromulent middle infielder in Dynasty? I have Jazz and Tatis moving to the outfield next year and am already pretty stacked there (Carroll, Judge, Jackson Chourio, Soler, Buxton if he ever plays the field again).

Paul Sporer

1:25

I'd say even more than cromulent w/his pwr-spd output, especially in that park & lineup!

Deeraj

Lawrence McGough Lange ROS? Think AZ will trade for a closer?

Paul Sporer

1:27

I do think there's a good chance ARI brings in RP but I'd go McGough for now. I don't thiiink Lange will be dealt but he also might not hold the closer's role if he doesn't improve that 15% BB rate!!!

1:29

Does a trade of ozzie for steer work? is it worth giving up ozzie for steer?

Paul Sporer

1:30

Big fan of Spencer Steer, but I would just stick w/Ozzie in this scenario. Hitting higher in the order, deeper track record, and is already doing better than Steer thus far

Franklin

1:30

Can we just pause and give thanks for Fangraphs? My fantasy life would be far worse off without it...

Paul Sporer

1:31

Why thank you! FG, Bref, Savant, PitcherList are all part of my daily routine, even during the offseason!

Bobby

1:31

Hi Paul, thanks for the chat! Where are you at on Eovaldi? Velo was down, looked a bit dicey, but now back up last start, and looking good!

Paul Sporer

1:32

His vast injury history makes him someone we're constantly concerned about so I get why we worried a little after the velo dip, but he's back to rolling and we're gonna just enjoy the ride

SIERA

1:33

Hey Paul, a general Fangraphs question - any chance we can get SIERA added to player pages? Hate going to the leaderboard, then advanced stats, and then adjusting settings and scrolling to find guys. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:34

You can already do it with a custom dashboard for player pages like the one I have here:

Greg

1:34

McLain or Westburg ROS 10 team H2H?

Paul Sporer

1:34

McLain for me, but I don't think they're super far apart

Sabey Sabes

1:35

Just me or is starting pitching this year one good start, a nuke, good again, nuked again?

Paul Sporer

1:35

Definitely feel that similar vibe. Writing the SP chart up regularly has living in the gamelogs and it's hard for guys to string together 4-5 starts at a time w/out a dud mixed in

ThisGuy

1:35

Are we expecting an imminent call-up of E-Strand? Seemed like a sure thing a little while ago....isn't like Votto is killing it.

Paul Sporer

1:36

Problem with Christian Encarnacion-Strand is where does he play? Votto raking off the IL and every other spot is locked. Until something opens via injury or trade, I don't think we see him

1:36

Is Acuna in the process of having the greatest fantasy season in our lifetime?

Paul Sporer

1:38

Absolutely! We have just 2 seasons of 30+ HR/50+ SB (Bonds & Eric Davis) and he's pacing for 40/78!!!!!

Guest

1:38

just curious, why a column for both GB% and GB/FB

Paul Sporer

1:38

Just wanna reference one over the other sometimes. TBH, this board is like a decade old

Farhandrew Zaidman

1:39

Conventional wisdom suggests Dodgers could use a Starter, but between all the young dudes and hopefully healthy returning arms, how pressing is the need for a starter versus a reliever?

Paul Sporer

1:39

They need both! I wouldn't be surprised to see them acquire multiple arms at the deadline

bartonbickle

1:39

I just lost Thairo Estrada and don't have any other 2B eligibles. Is Nick Gonzales my best replacement? Other options are Tony Kemp, Ibanez, Perdomo, A. Frazer...Is there anyone to target in a trade that might be flying under the radar?

Paul Sporer

1:40

I'd probably for Perdomo as he looks to be the best bet at replacing the pwr/spd that Thairo was giving you

No glasses on!

1:41

Will Tiedemann show up before September?

Paul Sporer

1:41

I don't think so. He's hurt and hasn't pitched since early May, plus still has some major control issues to iron out

John Olerud’s Helmet

1:41

Mr Paul I seek your infinite wisdom!! Is there any reasonable explanation besides money that the Tigers play Schoop rather than bringing up Colt Keith or any warm body alternative??

Paul Sporer

1:43

Mostly just money... of course that money is paid regardless of whether he plays or not and there's just NOTHING to suggest Schoop will turn it around. I do wonder if a DFA is on the horizon

Guest

1:43

14 team ROTO team and I'm short a reliever, what range reliever do you think I could trade Senga for (if any)?

Paul Sporer

1:43

Probably a lower-third of the league type closer

Guest

1:44

First place team in my league just traded away Vlad to get Steer, who is a $2 keeper. Vlad is too expensive to keep. Do you think this is a fair deal in a 10 team h2h?

Paul Sporer

1:45

Looks like they are trying to thread the needle of winning the league and getting a big time keeper. I guess my question would be about the team getting Vlad. Are they in contention? If not, why on earth did they do it?

Kevin

1:45

Time to panic about Cristian Javier?

Paul Sporer

1:46

Yes it is. 2-pitch mix catching up to him as the fastball effectiveness is waaaayyy down and the slider isn't otherworldly to make up for it. He's really exposing the thin margin for error that 2-pitch guys ride. Strider makes it look easy but that's bc he has 2 70-grade (maybe even 80-grade!!!) pitches whereas Javier's are more of the 55-60 grade variety

Kevin

1:46

Yandy didn't hit a single home run in June. Are the good times coming to an end?
