If Bazzana tears it up in the minors for August, is he playing for the big league team in Sept? A roughly league average wRC for Cleveland isn't going to cut it in the playoffs

Paul Sporer

1:34

If he goes full Langford, maybe, but where does he play? Are they moving him to the OF?

Datt Mamon

1:34

If selling high on Lugo, would Westburg be good 1-1 value? (I understand you don't know the details of the league, though ace-level SPs are its gold.)

Paul Sporer

1:35

Absent further detail, I have zero issues w/that!

Fant’sy Feast

1:35

RE: Crochet question at the top: what’s your impression of what normally happens when a pitcher that’s way over historic max IP gets traded to a contender. Should I hold out any hope of QS ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:36

I'd be surprised if any team traded for him to baby him. Now that might still mean 5 IPs a bunch, but even knowing he isn't a rental, I just think any contender paying the premium is going to use him

Big Mac

1:36

How do you value Jarred Kelenic? Is he a strong hold if Friedl on the wire? 16 team h2h

Paul Sporer

1:37

Not a stroooong hold over Friedl. I'd slightly favor Friedl between the 2

1:37

Junior Caminero a good stash for the next week ?

Paul Sporer

1:37

Yeah, see where the deadline dust settles and hope he gets the call

Buff

1:37

What does the Dodgers’ rotation look like a year from now?

Paul Sporer

1:37

I barely know what it'll look like on August 1st, let alone next yr

Cocomontes

1:38

Are you out on Sean Murphy for this year? D'Arnaud seems to be hitting better and I wonder if I'm better off with the PT security of a Korey Lee/Wells type

Paul Sporer

1:39

I think I'd want better than Lee/Wells to move on from Murphy. I think 1-C shallower formats or the only place I'm thinking of moving on from Murphy

BIG OOF

1:39

Do you think Jesus Sanchez will be the next young star breakout? The EVs are sexy and it seems he's improving his launch angle issues

Paul Sporer

1:41

I think a case can be made that there's another step for him. The pop is there, he can even run a bit, but I'd love to see some improvement in his plate skills a decent bit

Houcked

1:43

I'm a liiiiiitle worried about Houck lately. Obviously Coors is Coors and the all-star game is Ohtani, but he's also got a lot of innings on him. Time to move on?

Paul Sporer

1:45

Move on how? Cut? Absolutely not. Trade? Mayhaps! Also re: Coors, it was legitimately just the 1-bad inning and he reeled off 3 solid ones after. IP are piling up so I understand exploring trade options, but otherwise we're riding it out

Hank Scorpio

1:45

Sorry, I know I sent a novel in my first question. To reword it, for 2025 in 12tm 6x6 roto $275: Would you rather have J. Wood ($10) or my current Teoscar ($16), Bibee ($24), Taj ($6), F. Peralta ($20), or Kutter ($17)

Paul Sporer

1:46

i think it's Wood v. Taj for me. and while I am a Taj stan, I think I gotta go the hitter even at the higher price there

Drops

1:46

Are we done w/ J Hicks? Drop for Criswell or River?

Paul Sporer

1:48

Yeah I'm fine moving on, I'd take Criswell rn just bc Ryan's spot is uncertain.

1:53

For Crochet, wouldn’t there maybe be more risk of injury if they were to change him into a reliever and change his routine?

Paul Sporer

1:54

No, there's no real way to mitigate injury risk... other than just not pitching, I guess. And with as hard as he throws, he's even riskier than a standard SP, but that doesn't mean they should put him in bubble wrap... just gotta kinda see where it goes

tumtum

1:54

Victor Robles looking fancy last couple weeks. How many more SB ROS do you think he can bring?

anthony

1:54

is it too early to tell if robles is actually figured something out?

Paul Sporer

1:56

It is too early to tell if it's just a hot streak or something clicking. I love Robles, but it's probably the former. I took a shot and do think we can get 15-20 SBs rest of way as long as he doesn't just completely flop at the dish

HE IS STILL ONLY 27 YEARS OLD SOMEHOW

Alex Cobb

1:57

What should be done with me?

Paul Sporer

1:58

I'd scoop Cobb in 12s and deeper in anticipation of his return which is hopefully next week

LCA

1:58

Thanks for the chats Paul, and love your mid-season review pods lately. In a 10t keeper, I'm unlikely to keep both Strider (end of time) and Crochet (general open questions) and could use some pitching help for this year's playoffs. Wheeler and Clase seem a right match for those two, or am I giving up too much?

Paul Sporer

1:59

No those targets make sense. You're getting top of the scale for premium distressed arms -- Strider w/the injury and Crochet maybe isn't so much distressed right now but rather uncertain for the future as you say

Kenshin Kawakami

1:59

You buying any type of second half bounce back for Matt Olson? Can acquire for cheap but the inputs are rough

Paul Sporer

2:03

Yeah, he's a total "hang with 'em" guy where I'm comfortable betting on the track record and just seeing it through with Matt Olson. His power metrics aren't perfectly in line w/last yr, but not so much that he can't click in and go crazy in the 2H. If it ends up being a modest high-20s HR type season, I'll eat it, but I still think 30 is very much on the table

Mary Kate Olsen

2:03

MARY. KATE. OLSEN.

Paul Sporer

2:03

REESE. OLSON.

Adenolith

2:03

J.D. Martinez's statcast numbers still look good, but the results aren't really there. In a 2-UTIL league are you still holding over dart tosses like Burger, Fitzgerald, Robles, Wenceel?

Paul Sporer

2:06

Yeah I'm holding JD. He's another guy I could see just exploding the rest of the way. He hasn't even been bad so it's not like Olson on that front, but he can definitely be better than the already-good 127 wRC+ we've seen

2:06

Jesus Sanchez or Heston KJerstad ? daily moves 12T Roto ?

Paul Sporer

2:06

Kjerstad at least through the break so we can see if he gets moved and starts playing daily... or someone else is moved to clear space for him. Either way, def Kjerstad right now
