HARD WOOD

3:15

Trading away Alex Wood for Thames still smart move?

Paul Sporer

3:16

If you need power, yes

Trainman

3:16

Paul, how legit is this Marwin Gonzalez outburst? Could he push 20 homers?

Paul Sporer

3:17

Certainly possible with 11 banked, yes. As long as he's playing, he's going to be solid

Snowflake

3:18

Trade Schwarber for Hendricks?

Paul Sporer

3:18

if you need pitching, that's fine

3:19

Will the Reds trade Winker? Doesn't seem like he can displace Duvall or Schebler.

Paul Sporer

3:19

No I don't think they need to trade a young bat like that. More likely to move Duvall

Anthony

3:19

If Tanaka gets roughed up by Oakland tonight, is it time to drop him?

Paul Sporer

3:19

I mean, I hate to make a decision based on one start, but I totally get it

My boy

3:20

Does Sonny have top-20 potential, or has he settled into a lifetime (when healthy) 40-60 tier?

Paul Sporer

3:20

If you live in the 40-60 range, you can spike top 20. He's showing some aspects that could push him up, but he's not there yet

Miguel R

3:20

Would you trade Ervin Santana and Aaron Hicks for Wil Myers?

Paul Sporer

3:20

I'm OK with that

scottyA

3:20

Is there a reason to be concerned about Manny Machado? .220 avg as we head into June is troubling... Are there any indicators that there's an actual problem here?

Paul Sporer

3:21

Tiny BABIP, better plate skills, surge in Hard% rate; BUY-BUY-BUY

Jeru the damaja

3:21

Knowing your pseudo disdain for Glasnow and seeing some positive Berrios comments, I think I already know your answer! Hope you dig the track! :)

Paul Sporer

3:21

Correct :)

Wort

3:21

Adam Frazier's BA is "empty"? He's Andrew Beinintendi, for cryinoutloud!

Paul Sporer

3:22

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

OK dude

3:23

You can ADD his ISO totals from the minors and they're probably close to his .155 this year in the majors

Benintendi is so much better, it's not even funny

But yes, consider them the same based on 100 PA

Shawn Spenstarr

3:23

Who would you rather have ROS in standard with OPS as an extra category: Nelson Cruz or JD Martinez?

Paul Sporer

3:24

Really don't see much difference between them. JD is younger, but has had more injuries. They're just so close

Brett

3:24

Does Gallo eventually take over in LF? Worth stashing in 12-Team OBP league?

Paul Sporer

3:25

His OBP is still pretty bad, too, so you have to protect him to roster him

Grant

3:26

Glasnow may be a monster... But I don't see him as a "buy low" because I worry it takes a while to figure him out. Is this a fair approach?

Paul Sporer

3:26

Yeah that's fair. I'm just not in on Glasnow personally

Mikey

3:26

Brad Hand worth a big FAAB bid?

Paul Sporer

3:26

Depends on your need for save, of course

Szczur Hernandez

3:26

Am I the only one that is laughing at moving Odubel Herrera to the leadoff spot for the first time all season the day after he gets a platinum sombrero? Are the Phillies #trustingtheprocess ?

Paul Sporer

3:26

Lotta teams move a struggler to leadoff to try and get em going

Grant

3:27

Worried about Ian Desmond, or just a slow start after a late start? *Super* low walk rates and a bad second half...

Paul Sporer

3:27

Just 99 PA with a new team, not really worried at all rn

Miguel R

3:27

Would you start Carlos Martinez today in Colorado?
