What's goin on everyone? Let's talk baseball!!

Kenta Maeda... was last year his career year?

Paul Sporer

1:08

Could be. Remember, he got that 8 year / $25 million dollar deal bc of his health

Dave

Would you trade DeGrom and Stanton for Sale and Bautista?

Paul Sporer

1:08

Don't think deGrom is that far from Sale and Stanton is way better than Bautista

Dusty

Is cutting Pujols outright a consideration for those in shallow formats? I have him in a 10-teamer and have been trying to trade him all season with no takers, and my team has a real need for speed. Keon Broxton/Aaron Altherr/Delino DeShields-types are out there on waivers, and I'm not sure what to do.

Paul Sporer

Ya he's nothing special in a 10 teamer

What should I do with Gregory Polanco? I'm worried about the bum shoulder rumors. Do you think they linger the entire season?

Paul Sporer

1:10

I think you gotta sit tight unless you want to sell low. The shoulder has been a problem before and it's back. So frustrating bc I had high hopes for Polanco this yr

Hobbs

Any buy low SPs you're looking at? I have Erv and Bundy. Wanting to sell high. 12tm H2H with IP, K/9 and QS.

Paul Sporer

1:12

Kluber, Cueto might have some discounts. If you believe in Arrieta, you can take a run. I'm not in on Arrieta personally

Sloth

1:12

Carlos Santana has been disappointing. Anything to be concerned about?

Paul Sporer

1:13

Feel like he regularly starts slow. Has an .835 career 2nd half OPS.

Dave

1:13

Bad idea to play Greinke tonight?

Paul Sporer

1:14

Never a GREAT idea to mess around with SPs in Coors.

Rob

1:15

Better DL stash J. Gray or C. Rodon?

Paul Sporer

1:15

Gray

Makes you think

1:15

Pineda at 11.6 k/9. Is this the year he finally puts it all together?

Paul Sporer

1:16

He fanned 10.6 last yr. What's really different?

Kerry

1:16

Just traded Trea for Kershaw and Cesar Hernandez in 10-team redraft. How'd I do?

Paul Sporer

1:16

I mean, you know you did well. You just want to brag.

Gregory Polanco

1:16

What's wrong with me?

Paul Sporer

1:16

Shoulder

Jason

1:17

Why do you still believe in Taijuan? Ready to cut biat

Paul Sporer

1:18

Major K% & HR9 improvements, nearly equal BB%; don't see how a 4.19 sticks

BRB - gotta take Charlotte out

JJP

1:20

Will Roman Quinn have NL only fantasy value this year?

Paul Sporer

1:20

If playing time opens up, I could see it with his speed

BleepBlorp

1:21

Would it be crazy to sell my SP assets and use only closers and elite RPs like Devenski in my 12 team H2H league? The weekly IP minimum is only 15.

Paul Sporer

1:21

But would you be able to compete in W, Sv, and K?

Piggly-Wiggly

1:22

In a 12t H2H dynasty with OPS and TBs as extra categories, how close are S. Marte and Rizzo in value?

Paul Sporer

1:22

Pretty close when Marte isn't suspended for PEDs

Thanks for the chat Paul! Not sure what I would do without these Friday chats! Question: In a 10-tm h2h 5x5 w/ OPS and QS added. I am looking to trade Jon Lester (worried about his velo decline) for a hitter. Already tried for Thames, 1 for 1, but no dice. Looking to target now EE, Schwarber, Carlos Santana, Kyle Seager, Jose Bautista (maybe, worried about him). Think I am in the ball park?
