Isaiah

3:33

Is this the year Yo Cespy bashes 40?

Paul Sporer

3:33

if he plays 150+, yes

Don

3:33

Assuming Moncada is called up in mid-May, do you think he can be a top 10 fantasy 2B the rest of the year?

Paul Sporer

3:34

Possible, but very unlikely

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

3:34

Yo Paul, let's throw down on the Show sometime. What's the best way to set this up? Also, Joc or Piscottyv

Paul Sporer

3:34

Piscotty. Hit me up in my Twitch streams (twitch.tv/psporer24) -- I'll be on tonight and tomorrow if the servers are cooperating

George

3:34

Any concerns that Trea Turner's "minor" hamstring injury affects his ROS outlook?

Paul Sporer

3:34

Any time a speedster gets a lower half injury it's concerning

3:35

But I'm not freaking out right now

Bruce

3:35

Is Josh Hader worth holding onto in a redraft?

Paul Sporer

3:35

Probably not, unless it's a huuuge mixer or NL only

3:35

Any faith is what Brent Honeywell is doing in AA?

Paul Sporer

3:35

Honeywell's a beast, he's just very unlikely to come up any time soon

Taco Oppo

3:35

Berrios... soon?

Honey Nut Berrios

3:35

How long before Berrios comes back up? And should we be excited for his return?

Paul Sporer

3:35

I'm still fully in. Holding him in NFBC Main

Carrot Cole

3:36

If you had to start 1 of the following for today only in your utility: Eric Thames @ CIN vs Feldman, Jose Rameriz @ Home vs DET (Daniel Norris), Odubel Herrera @ WAS vs Stras or Hunter Pence @ Home vs COL (Tim Anderson). Let's just assume everything is standard.

Paul Sporer

3:36

Thames then Ramirez

Bob

3:36

Are you high on Moncada?

Paul Sporer

3:36

Long-term, sure, I see the upside. But this year, no

August Don

3:36

Dropped Shoemaker for Mike Leake. Major Goof, or ok?

Paul Sporer

3:36

Not a MAJOR goof, no, but Shoe's upside is higher IMO

Leake very solid, high-floor guy, though

Timothy

3:36

Talk to me about Lonnie Chisenhall. Available in my AL-only league and I need a bat...

Paul Sporer

3:37

That's exactly the kind of league where I can get a bit jazzed about rostering him. Yes, jazzed.

Noah

3:37

How would you rank Rendon, Moose and Healy?

Paul Sporer

3:38

Just like that, but Moose and Healy are interchangeable

Don

3:39

Is Avi Garcia still the worst player in baseball or should I heighten my expectations because he's been Babe Ruth for a week?

Paul Sporer

3:41

LOL Avi roasted. Still only 26, so could still jump a bit, but I don't see a star turn coming -- maybe a .275-20-70 upside

Alex

3:41

Cut bait on S.Kelley in Washington? I figure maybe better served picking up pitching depth elsewhere than holding out hope with him

Paul Sporer

3:42

Ya, I'm fine cutting

Wade Boss Hog

3:42

What do you think of going with four aces (most teams in my league start six) with three long relief kinda guys (Archie, Raisel, Phelps and Rosenthal)? Should I go more traditional or is this a viable approach with more managers softening to the idea of long guys?

Paul Sporer

3:43

If traditional hasn't been working for you, mix it up. Keep an eye on your K counts. The rates of those fireman types will be good, but make sure you're still getting the proper quantity. But I like trying it. Been working up a list of these new firemen types, too

Bland

3:44

Is this the perfect time to buy low on Greg Bird or is there real reason for concern?

Paul Sporer

3:48

He was wildly overrated by late draft season so a return to earth in perception would be a good time to buy if you were a believer before the surge or even during the surge, but unwilling to pay the toll anymore.

There is regret among many of those buyers so dangle a more reliable option like Mike Napoli or Mitch Moreland and see where it goes. I'm not saying those will necessarily get him for 1-for-1, but the add-on won't be substantial if they are selling low so I'd be OK with a 2-for-1

Ken Tremendous

3:48

Are you excited for Sun Trust Park?

Paul Sporer

3:49

New parks are always fun. Been using it in The Show a bit

Terry

3:49

Cole is dealing today, wish he could pitch like this all of the time!
