Paul Sporer

1:45

Yeah took a little to get going but he's been on fire lately -- .429/.546/.743 w/2 2B, 3 3B (!), 1 HR, 10 RBI in 44 PA. Ks are gonna be a problem but the talent is monstrous

Devin Williams

1:46

10.5 M club option for 2025. Think Brewers pick up the option?

Paul Sporer

1:46

Oh 100%, even if it's just to trade him.

Guest

1:46

oh good, Joe Ryan serving up the early homer today already. stop there Joe!

Paul Sporer

1:47

What's the wind doing at Wrigley?!?!

Skippy

1:50

Holderman is not a hold anymore right? Great start to season with HOLDS falling apart as season winds down.

Paul Sporer

1:52

Yeah 5 HRs in 12 app since July is bruuuutal, can't trust him in leverage so the HDs have dried up

John John

1:53

Is Jobe worth holding onto till mid August or early September or is it just ain't gonna happen this year?

Paul Sporer

1:54

Kinda depends on league type and who's available, but I'm OK moving on. I don't know that they're gonna give him much of a shot as their rotation has fallen apart and it could be a rough homestretch for Detroit

Yu Gotta Help!

1:54

Darvish still on restricted list. Hasn't pitched since 5/29. Assuming he even comes back will he even be able to build back up in time to perform in fantasy? Tempted to drop him...out of IL spots.

Paul Sporer

1:54

Yes, I cut 2 wks ago, though in a non-IL league so the decision was a bit easier

Playoff bound

1:54

Thanks for the response. Webb freaks me out because (as of early this week) he has let up more hits than any other starter!

Paul Sporer

1:55

I totally get that. Hits are always his risk as his H9 is kinda high even in the great seasons. Sometimes it's bad luck and other times he's a bit off w/his stuff. I'm still trusting Webb fully

FGDC RoS gives Xavier a .360 OBP with 30 steals/160 games. can we dream on .375 and 50 next year? him or Arraez in an OBP league?

Paul Sporer

1:56

I'm a big Edwards fan and I think we can certainly dream on that while being able to settle for a good bit lower since his price just won't be that high barring some crazy finish down the stretch. Arraez is a bankable AVG guy, but I think Edwards is more dynamic of a fantasy component

seth

1:56

for as good as that mens 100M final was, remember that prime usain bolt was running a full 2 tenths faster then all of those guys

Paul Sporer

1:57

Right? He was truly insane. Also old enough to remember Michael Johnson's excellence

Ted

1:57

Luis Castillo or Bailey Ober ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:59

Ober will be a touch higher on the next update (due next week!)

Jack

1:59

Pete Crow-Armstrong has speed and lately hasn't appeared to be totally over matched as he was earlier. Do you think he can develop into at least an average hitter?

Paul Sporer

2:00

It's certainly possible and his elite glove will afford him many chances to develop into a viable hitter

B'Ryce Hammer, Smasher of Baseballs

2:00

Kikuchi with Houston... is this like when the Astros traded for Verlander and fixed what the Tigers had done wrong?

Paul Sporer

2:01

Not sure I agree w/that framing that the Tigers were doing anything wrong to JV. They made him better but he was 34 yrs old, he wasn't some rookie being bullied by an organization. But yeah, they seem to have a gameplan ready for Kikuchi to maximize the good stuff we've all known him to have for years

Mark

2:05

Is Wallner a must-roster a 12-team OBP league? I know he sits against lefties but he’s absolutely mashing righties

Paul Sporer

2:06

Definitely worth riding right now. Platoon bats can be tough holds when they cool, but I love Wallner so I'm totally chill running him in 12s right now, especially w/the OBP factor

Kris Bubic

2:06

Worth a $1 dart in AL-Only keeper? I'm out of it this years and was a fan before he got hurt. Think he's a relevant arm next year?

Paul Sporer

2:06

Yeah, take the buck shot

Brayan Rocchio

2:06

Lost cause?

Paul Sporer

2:06

Waayyy too early to say that, but expectations aren't SKY HIGH. I've always liked him more as a real life player w/the defensive component

burt

2:06

Mayo was dropped in my 12 tm league. Think he can help out this year? (redraft h2h)

Paul Sporer

2:06

Yes, I'd take the shot

Adenolith

2:06

Is Heliot Ramos a guy you'd pick up over somebody like Toglia, Ward, or Turang?

Paul Sporer

2:08

Turang's his own thing if you need the SBs, otherwise I would go Ramos over Toglia/Ward. It's not overwhelming, but Ramos is my pick

Mackenzie Gore

2:08

I need serious help. When will I be right again?

Paul Sporer

2:08

I'm not so sure he will. Just not himself at ALLL right now. A cut everywhere, incl. NL Only

burt

2:08

it seems like jose miranda is slowly morphing into a part time player with Royce lewis back. Will the twins really leave his bat on the bench half the time?!

Paul Sporer

2:09

He's still played 7 of 10 since the injury. But yeah they are in a good spot talent-wise but that creates a crunch for us fantasy dweebs!

Guest

2:10

Is there too much noise in baseball to consider quality of competition / strength of schedule when considering performance? Like, "his aggregate opponent ERA is 1.40, hence the underperformance."

Paul Sporer

2:11

I think it can color the performance in a given season for sure. We don't always dig into it, but then sometimes you're wondering why a pitcher is struggling and then you see like 8 of his last 12 are against top 6 OPS teams or something, so I don't think it's completely frivolous. You can't control the schedule, but it does have an impact

Drew

2:11

just saw the Joyce reply: 16-team, draft and hold, SVs and Holds seperate. 25 major; 25 minor.
