Hello everyone!! Thanks for coming out!

Why not Zoidberg?

1:03

Shallow H2H - Caballero and Pablo Lopez hit waivers. Are you dropping J Ortiz, Langford, or Neris for any of them?

Paul Sporer

1:07

I'm all over Pablo Lopez for sure. Even in a shallow lg, I don't love that cut. Caballero for Ortiz could be fine if you really need SBs

AL OBP league

1:07

Bliss vs. Manzardo?

Paul Sporer

1:08

Slight Manzo lean

1:08

Pablo rest of 1H lines up Col, TBR, at Oak, at Sea, Hou, at CWS....is it now or never?

Paul Sporer

1:09

Yeah he deserves it after a tough run in the schedule. I think he'll be fine, tbh, and he's been fine through 3 today thus far

D-Mize

1:09

Nick and Eno are both starting to fade Casey Mize hard. Is he a cut in an AL Only keeper? (Arrighetti or a similar streamer, or an RP, would be replacement)

Paul Sporer

1:10

I'm fine getting Arrighetti. My main concern was gonna be what you can really pick up, but if Arri is available, I'm all over it for Mize

BlueJayMatt

1:10

Who do I start at 3B - Royce Lewis or Alec Bohm? Do I start either of them at Util in place of JD Martinez?

Paul Sporer

1:10

I'd prob run both 3B

1:10

Arozarena...are we still riding through it? Benching? Moving on?

Paul Sporer

1:13

I thought maybe we were seein a little somethin to start the month but I'm probably grasping at any little sample. Originally I was saying the fantasy juice is there so you can hold, but we're now nearly a month with 0 HR/SB so is most definitely benchable and probably a viable cut in shallower formats at this juncture

Coors is undefeated

1:13

Just a friendly PSA that the Rockies have 17 of 22 at home starting Friday. They even nicely have the 5 road games all in the same week from 6/24 - 6/30 so you can sit guys for that week in weekly moves leagues. Blackmon is probably on a lot of waiver wires and has been good for a little over a month (.812 OPS since 5/8) and has a home OPS over 200 points higher for his career (.861 at home this year). He leads off every day and has virtually no platoon splits for his career (actually a slight reverse split in recent seasons).

Paul Sporer

1:13

Let's goo!!

1:14

Pablo Lopez gave up a bomb... jinxed him

Guest

1:14

Are there any HR/SB left before Adell is DFA’ed? CS at 3rd with 2 outs down 3 runs in the 7th last night… how can you be 25 and do that stuff?

Paul Sporer

1:14

EVERY time I see, he has a major blunder of some sort... usuallyyyy base running. It's wildddd

1:15

Rumors of his ascent may've been exaggerated

Rocky

1:15

Who do you prefer among Mitchell Parker, Jake Irvin, David Peterson and Keaton Winn?

Paul Sporer

1:15

I've really fallen for Parker. Legitimately was unaware of him coming into the year but I've been so impressed with what he's done. I've now watched like 6 of his starts and just find myself trusting him quite a bit, even in tougher matchups

Colton

1:16

I have Amador in my home dynasty league. I have until Sunday to promote him and drop a bad contract for free, or release him and hold on that contract. I'm concerned about him being optioned cause it's so clearly a Rockies thing to do, but I need some help on what you think may be best choice here. Thanks for any advice!

Paul Sporer

1:17

Oh maaannn that is tough because the Rockies are ALWAYS going to Rockies. That said, I think you gotta run it w/Amador and take your shot to get out from under a bad deal

1:18

Colt Keith's playing time seems to be dwindling. How do they deal with him after signing him to a long term deal? Can you send him down at this point?

Paul Sporer

1:20

Oh they can def send him down if needed. That said, I think he has delayed that potential fate w/the good hitting prior to the modest June start. He missed 2 gms in a row, but 1 was vL and the other was his first missed gm vR since May 6th

Matt

1:20

Thoughts on Maikel Garcia. Initially I viewed him as a great bench/sub, but I'm getting in a bit of a roster crunch and have too much MI. Is he a must roster in deep leagues?

Paul Sporer

1:27

He's had a weird trajectory this year by month w/the HR/SB in April, AVG in May, and then sputtering to start June. But I'm definitely in on him and do believe he's must-roster in deep lgs

1:27

Expectations for Shane Baz this season? I'm going with ERA in the 3.50-4.00 range and 4-5 IP per start.

Paul Sporer

1:29

I'm not as bullish there. I'm more 2025 on Baz. I think there'll be some volatility and I worry the bombs could erase the quality, especially if he is tightly managed on the IP. Love the arm long-term, modest interest this year

Imanaga

1:29

In a keeper league and at a very good price. Ride the good times? or sell high if the right offer comes my way?

Paul Sporer

1:30

I'm always open to improving the team, but don't force it. You didn't pay a premium for Imanaga so even as he regresses, it's not automatically meaning that you're wrong for holding. But yeah, entertain offers to see if anyone sees a true ace instead of a nice 2 or elite 3

Greg

1:30

What are we doing with Torres in a 10 teamer? His constant 1/4 games aren't doing much in terms of helping,I have India on the WW. Is it time to make the switch?

Paul Sporer

1:31

I'm OK switching him out to try and find a hotter hand in 10s... Gleyber himself may once again emerge as that hot hand you want, but he's just pretty bland right now

Moar stats please

1:31

Please add Z-swing% - O-Swing% (Z-O) as a stat on the plate discipline page. Such a helpful stat and you can't really find it anywhere that I've looked

Paul Sporer

1:31

Are they not both there? https://www.fangraphs.com/players/randy-arozarena/19290/stats?position...

1:32

Ohhh you mean the subtraction of them as its own stat

Sorry I misunderstood

1:33

I can certainly ask! What's a good Z-O%, btw? Have you dove into it manually to see who's good?

Guest

1:33

Thanks for chatting. You think deGrom is worth an IL stash in a 12-team mixed league as long as an IL slot is available? Or are there better IL stash options?

Paul Sporer

1:33

If you've got the spot, I'm in for deGrom. He's still very good and even 40 IP would be useful!
