Prediction on when we see Bradley Zimmer get called up?

Paul Sporer

2:24

Memorial Day

Tim

2:24

Thanks for the chat! Sure you'll cover these guys plenty today, but if you had to rank them how would you order Graveman, Bundy and Finnegan?

Paul Sporer

2:24

Bundy, Finnegan, Graveman. Bundy a cut above the other two.

Snuds

2:24

What type of year do you expect from Michael Fulmer this season?

Paul Sporer

2:24

Little ERA backslide, but offset by more Ks and innings. Big fan.

Ted

2:25

Thoughts on Fulmer today? Depleted Sox lineup but me likely!

Paul Sporer

2:25

Sharp for sure, very good arm .

Billy Beane

2:25

Are you fully on board the Kendall Graveman bandwagon?

Paul Sporer

2:25

Not really on it at all, tbh. Impressive first start, so I'll keep an eye out, though

bl27

2:26

surprise, Rich is out with blister problem. Kyle Gibson is the best SP available in my league. Do you like him vs Tigers next week ?

Paul Sporer

2:27

I've spent enough time on the Kyle Gibson train

jack

2:27

with Archie Bradley adding the cutter and looking great - will he get morphed into the phelps miller devenski role or closer role ? Worth a stash to see if this is legit in a 12 teamer ?

Paul Sporer

2:28

Would like to see him in that expanded role. So dumb that we only seem to have 6 IP or 1 IP guys. He and many others would fit well in between. We seem to be inching toward that again

Rudy

2:28

JA Happ was dropped in my league. Did he get hurt or look bad his last start? Wondering why he got dropped.

Paul Sporer

2:28

How many teams? Wasn't he awesome in his first start? Add him

Big Tuna

2:29

Fulmer couldn't seem to command the breaking ball today, but still came out unscathed. What were your thoughts?

Paul Sporer

2:29

Ya not perfect, but I was pleased with the outing

MCCANN BABY!!!!! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

EwokOff

2:29

I'm curious what your thoughts are on Graveman?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Wanna see more. Never been a huge fan. Intrigued by switch to almost sinker-only approach

Gimpy

2:30

Any feedback on how Felix looked in his start ?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Not bad. Discussed him on the pod http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/the-sleeper-and-the-bust-episode-443-...

AL only, Roto, 12 team w 10 keepers, Auction tomorrow - tons of power available in the auction but not much in speed, what do you think of going after altuve, segura, andrus and then going for cheap power late? I figure those three will help my average, runs, and speed enough than any avg concerns with cheap power guys would be offset

Paul Sporer

2:32

I like it. Plus SBs easy to trade down the line

Richard

2:32

If forced to choose one, who do you own in the A's pen right now?

Paul Sporer

2:32

Madson

bearproof

2:33

traded Holland/ Margot for Pedroia in a 14 teamer h2h....am i going to regret that? Pedroia was an upgrade over O.Arcia at MI.

Paul Sporer

2:33

Nah, I don't think

Bert Campaneris

2:33

Are we ever going to see a platform that counts the offensive performance of pitchers? Or is the DH in the NL happening before that?

Paul Sporer

2:33

You don't want that as much as you think do. A few homers aren't worth the 0-fers

Mama

2:33

16 team league, Owings at MI. I should be excited, fine, worried

Paul Sporer

2:34

It's fine with a tinge of excitement

Big Tuna

2:34

I seem to always struggle staying under the innings limit in my league. Especially early in the season, how do you decide when to start a fringe guy (Gausman, Samardzjia) and when to run him out?

Paul Sporer

2:34

I generally just start my guys and don't tinker too much early on barring a Coors start or something

2:35

So if you're not streaming, you should be fine, then down the line you can decided to dial down or ramp up

Bert Campaneris

2:35

Taijuan or Bundy in a shallow 8-team league? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:35

Still Taijuan for me, but they're close and both potential game-changers

Sox

2:35

The owner of Byron Buxton is already panicking in my AL-only league. Is this the opportune time for me to pounce, or is there reason for concern and I should shy away?

Paul Sporer

2:35

I'm not a huge Buxton guy, but if you can get a real discount, it's worth pursuing
