Yo yo!! Let's talk some baseball!

GOAT

2:07

Realistically, Berrios hasn't passed Kershaw yet as best pitcher alive, but easy second right?

Paul Sporer

2:08

Obvvvvv, because everyone knows if you beat the Rockies outside of Coors, you're now an ace

Twinkie

2:08

I know we must temper our expectations, but it's hard to have asked for anything more than what Berrios has given us in his first two starts...

Paul Sporer

2:08

OK, we're gonna get a ton of Berrios questions. I'm a huge fan just as I was last year. I'm glad he's looking good through 2, but let's not get too overzealous

HanRam or Bellinger ROS in 12 team 5x5 roto?

Paul Sporer

2:09

HanRam for me, but I dig Belly so he's close

Bobby Hit Higginson

2:09

In a 12 team H2H 6x6, which side do you like more Brandon Drury or Jeff Samardzija ROS? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:09

Drury, but that seems like a fair 1-for-1

Joey

2:10

Chad Green looked fantastic yesterday. What do you expect from him ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:13

I like Green. I had him over Monty for that 5th role, but Monty has taken it and run. Seems like a spot start for Green, ya?

Dory

2:13

I can't get a bead on whether Rafael Devers is on the verge of being called up, or we won't see him until September. Is he a guy I should be running out to stash in my AL-only keeper league?

Paul Sporer

2:14

We discussed him a bit on the pod yesterday. He's certainly raking and they aren't getting shit from 3B, but he's 20 and at AA, so I'd put the probability low

my favorite chat of the week! Yonder/ramos for paxton/grichuk

Paul Sporer

2:15

Thank you!! AJ or Wilson Ramos?

Wes

2:15

Would you do a Harvey for JBJ swap? Don't necessarily have a need one way or another for either guy.

Paul Sporer

2:16

That checks out. Would prob be closer to JBJ side. Harvey is just... I dunno, man

Dat Dude

2:19

Isn't Cody Bellinger basically a lower avg Kendrys Morales this year? I suppose his speed means a few more runs, but the 30 points in average Kenrys has on him have to make up for that...

Paul Sporer

2:20

Bellinger also runs and we're not sure where the average will be. I think Belly > Morales for me

Tom

2:20

Honeywell, De Leon and Faria seem to be getting a lot of mentions as of late. Which one comes up first? Which one do you like best?

Paul Sporer

2:21

Love Honeywell, but think he's third in line to come up. Faria is my pick to be up first.

George is Curious

2:21

On July 1, the closers for the Tigers and Angels will be?

Paul Sporer

2:21

Justin Wilson & Bud Norris

Andres

2:21

What is going on with Odor? Will he turn it around?

Paul Sporer

2:24

This is what happens when you sell out for power. 23% infield flyball rate

Homesickalien

2:24

Hi Paul! Please rank ROS: Hahn, Eickhoff, J. Montgomery

Greg

2:25

Got offered Yonder Alonso for Joe Ramirez. I'm really week up the middle. What say you?

Paul Sporer

2:25

If you're weak up the middle, keep Ramirez

Harold

2:25

James Hoyt seems to be posting video game like numbers so far this season. You a fan?

Paul Sporer

2:25

Ya, he's been nuts. Eight innings, but filthy numbers

BadFantasyQ

2:26

10 team NL only. Currently in 2nd place but with bad pitching. Having a hard time finding any trade partners when offering Reynolds or Suarez, what should a reasonable return on Goldy offer? Goldy for Greinke and Mccutch good enough?

Paul Sporer

2:26

I want more for Goldy

Daniel

2:26

With Yoenis coming back, I need to dump an OF. Fowler, Kepler, Peralta, Renfroe, Domingo? Renfroe is the obvious choice, but he's dirt cheap to keep for next season.

Paul Sporer

2:26

Him or Kepler

Janes

2:30

Franco or Castelannos in OBP?

Paul Sporer

2:31

Honestly, flip a coin there. I have those 2 right by each other in all formats

Lights

2:31

Hey Paul, been offered Lindor for my Kris Bryant in my OBP keeper league (keep 8). I'd keep Bryant ($66) if I choose not to make trade. Lindor costs $23 to keep. Basically, Lindor + $43 auction dollars for Kris Bryant. Caveat is that both teams are competitive to win the whole thing. Is this short term downgrade worth it for potential longer term upside?

Paul Sporer

2:32

I think the cost disparity helps me get this done. Bryant is ahead of Lindor, but I think Lindor is a first rounder. So first rounder for first rounder + $43 works for me

Paul's the Best!

2:32

Would you be so kind as to predict the next 1-2 prospects to be called up in each league? Thanks!
