Royce Lewis is incredible

Paul Sporer

2:01

I love him so!

2:01

Austin Riley. Hold all day, right? No real other choices?

Paul Sporer

2:01

Correct. He is the kind you just ride it out. Might catch a bad one, but as long as he's healthy, he's rostered

Rocco

2:01

also Kjerstad missed a lot of baseball due to Covid complications

Paul Sporer

2:01

I was juuust typing that up, so his baseball experience age is probably a bit lower

2:02

Why wouldn't you put Pablo back out there?!

Paul Sporer

2:02

Right? C'mon Rocco!!

B'Ryce Hammer, Smasher of Baseballs

2:02

I waited 5 weeks for a guy in my league to drop Royce Lewis, and snagged him asap. Started him his first week back, and I've been loving the free power

Paul Sporer

2:02

Allllways check the drops right when waivers run! One of the first things I do.

2:03

I have Houck, Skenes, Crochet. First in my league, long arms and short bats. I'm worried about innings limits here. Who do I move first (3 yr keeper) and what bats are fair targets to expect in return?

Paul Sporer

2:05

I think you gotta shop 'em as a group and see who brings you back the most. I don't think you necessarily have to prioritize one. Crochet might not face a strict IP limit if he's traded to a contender who needs him. Skenes won't be run into the ground, but Pittsburgh should absolutely push hard w/Jones & Skenes at their best right now because you NEVER know when they'll be on fire like this again. And Houck shouldn't face any major limits at age-28

Rocco

2:05

Sorry, Paul and other fantasy owners. I made the difficult decision to take Pablo out after 91 pitches today. Due to the weather and a few other reasons, I wanted Pablo to end today on a high note and walk out after that clean 5th inning. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing all of you back in 5 games.

Paul Sporer

2:05

Thanks, skip!

Broken Bat

2:05

Is KJerstad old for AAA at age 25 without any real commitment to serving a lot of time onMLB roster?

Paul Sporer

2:06

he's at -1.6 on the AgeDiff from BRef so yeah he's not a baby, but he barely has 1000 MiLB PA so I still think his upside is rich and intact

12 team Ottoneu 5x5

2:06

Thanks for the Starting Pitcher Charts! Surprised to find Civale at #26 today, home vs CHC. Do you prefer Civale or Turnbull as a team streamer for this year. I expect Turnbill to eventually get some starts and contribute as RP. Thanks.

Paul Sporer

2:08

Civale has frustrated me so much. Just so many dang HRs. That said, I still like his core skills and think he's more secure in the rotation than Turnbull

Seth

2:08

When would you start to stash Noelvi in a 10 team league? I don't want to miss out but also my bats are so bad its tough to stomach a waste of a roster spot

Paul Sporer

2:10

Yeah gonna to play chicken w/the other 9 and try to push it as long as you. It's probably gotta be soon. On the one hand, that's smart that you acknowledge that it will be a cost in the short-term since you're bats are struggling and you could use that spot, buuuttt perhaps Marte can be part of the solution so you take a little more short-term heat for long-term potential. I'd try to hold out another 10-14 days. If you get jumped, so be it

Hank Scorpio

2:10

Hey Paul, thanks for the chat as always. Trying to make a trade to bolster my dismal offense in a 12tm 6x6. Who should I look to move first: Bello, Kutter, and Taj? Taj has the worst ratios and xStats, but by far the best SIERA

Paul Sporer

2:12

Taj and Kutter are also coming off gems so I think they will have the most appeal. Maybe offer both to someone and see who they'd like. I imagine the returns should be similar for both

Mike

2:12

Continue to hold Wood and/or Dominguez or pick up available OFs like Marsh, Fraley, Raley Cutch, etc.?

Paul Sporer

2:12

I'd only hold one and I'm partial to Dominguez

A's or Eh's

2:12

The 4 newest A's starters--Estes, Hogan Harris, Spence, and Medina--each seem interesting in his own way. Are you grabbing any of them?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Agreed, I like the group! I know he's not new, but I like Sears, too!! I picked up Harris from the group but like Estes almost equally. Spence isn't far behind. He hit my radar right after they Rule 5'd him from NYY. Medina is a live arm, but will have some volatility that could make him a tough roster

2:17

Lots of great Qs, sorry I can't stay longer today, but I've got some things to get done this afternoon. I'm working on my June rankings and should have them ready soon, ideally before next week's chat so we can talk about 'em! Let's use Tuesday as a target. I'm doing more work on them day-to-day this year instead of waiting to do all the work around when I'm gonna post 'em. Take care, y'all

Adenolith

2:17

Is Royce Lewis a good return for Skenes or should I aim even higher? Reasonably sure I could get Adolis Garcia as another option.

Paul Sporer

2:17

(I'd take Royce, but I'd shoot higher and then "settle" for Royce if they pushback)

OK bye for real!
