Hellooo everyone! Thanks for coming out!

Qane

Thinking about a deep league deal for Luis Ortiz or Tyler Phillips, How do you feel about them ROS? Both have been on quite a good stretch. Will they keep their jobs? Both are already close to their career high in IP. Concerns? Any preference? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:06

Higher on Ortiz with a major component being an easier path to IP. Philly isn't gonna push Phillips unless they just absolutely need for some reason

Whats for lunch

Paul Sporer

1:07

A sandwich from a place called ThunderCloud Subs here in Austin!

Pretty happy with what Stearns did this deadline. What would you grade it?

Paul Sporer

1:11

Yeah I really felt the Mets did quite well all things considered. They're not a frontrunner, but they are in the mix and played it right IMO

Biscuit

1:11

who would you prefer going forward...Gausman or Bello

Paul Sporer

1:11

I really think it's Bello. I'm just not confident in Gausman at all these days, at least in terms of him being a frontliner

Eric Silva the next John Smoltz?

Paul Sporer

1:13

LOL... so unreal that not only was Canha traded, but laaaasssttt second AND TO JUSTIN'S TEAM!

1:15

For those unaware, Justin and I had a huge argument about trading Canha and I was saying it wasn't really worth it for Detroit to do so bc he's more of a value add the next 2 mos. to a young team than anything they could get back. Eric Silva was the return which was expectedly light... obviously I can't prove how valuable Canha would be in the clubhouse for 2 more mos, but I'd have rather they kept him

1:15

Its a Holliday !

Paul Sporer

1:15

Is he comin back up?

Guest

1:17

he is back up, and just salami'ed

Paul Sporer

1:17

Let's gooo!! I figured he was headed back up, but hadn't seen it confirmed that he was back

New faces in the AL Outfields

1:17

Hi! Do you like any of Morel, Vargas, Lane Thomas over JH Malloy? (AL OBP league)

Paul Sporer

1:18

While I like Malloy, I think all 3 of those guys are a better bet than JHM rest of season and I like in the order of Morel/Thomas/Vargas

Biscuit

1:19

What range does Robbie Ray land in your top 100 these days?

Paul Sporer

1:24

Top 40. Still coming off TJ which will breed volatility as we saw in last night's game

Closing Time

1:24

Kenley Jansen or Peter Fairbanks? I know Kenley's old, but his k-bb is much better this season and the Red Sox are trying to win.

Paul Sporer

1:27

They are very close. Yes, Boston is going harder than Tampa Bay in terms of trades, but I don't think their rest of season projections should be THAT far apart. The Rays traded some big pieces, but they have guys who can very adequately backfill everyone they moved. I still lean Fairbanks, but it's basically a coinflip

Matt

1:28

I need pitching. Any impending prospect call ups that you foresee as a product of the deadline that might be of use?

Paul Sporer

1:30

No one that really jumps out to me with the biggest prospect arms who haven't debuted being in AA like Jackson Jobe, Jacob Misiorowski, Bubba Chandler, Noah Schultz... being in AA doesn't mean they can't get the call and skip AAA, but I don't know how close any of those 4 are rn

Joe

1:30

Just a heater for E. Suarez, right?

Paul Sporer

1:32

Yes in that he won't be a 1.000 OPS guy rest of way, but I don't think he goes back to the sub-.600 OPS guy he was before July's surge. If you need pop, it's worth running w/Eugenio Suarez while he's dialed in

#1MetsFan

1:32

Ha! Im in Austin too... Love ThunderCloud

Paul Sporer

1:32

It's so good!

Big Tuna

1:32

Do you have any thoughts on Jeffery Springs start last night...are you buying him for the rest of the season or no?

Paul Sporer

1:38

I haven't been able to watch it yet, but the stuff seemed ok. He had a solid rehab and I think there will be good starts, but I'm allllways cautious relying on TJ returners. Streamable, but not yet someone I'd blindly trust

Stupid question

1:38

20 team roto dynasty. Room for one random flyer. Stowers or Carlson more likely to pan out with full PT and decent stats?

Paul Sporer

1:40

While I am a Carlson mega-fan and will be keeping tabs on him w/TBR, I do think Stowers is the play. Should get full run vR at the very least

Matt

1:40

Re Tyler Phillips: Roster Resource has him listed in PHI rotation. Are you expecting Walker and/or Suarez back soonish?

Paul Sporer

1:41

Yes, just that he will be replaced as they get healthy so he won't be totally bankable as a starter

Catcher

1:42

13tm roto std5x5
Have been rotating catcher most of the season. Currently going with Stephenson, would you pivot to either Bailey or Wells?

Paul Sporer

1:43

Maaaybe Bailey if you need AVG a little more but otherwise I'm fine sticking w/T Step

Mark Canha

1:43

Justin Mason is the superior analyst and mind.

Paul Sporer

1:43

Sure Justin, sure.

Matt

1:43

Alec Marsh just got optioned to AAA...this deadline has crushed my pitching

Paul Sporer

1:43

Yeah that Lorenzen deal was tough for Marsh!
