Good afternoon!! Let's talk some baseball. Gotta keep it to a tight hour so I can release my SP ranking update.

Trader Danny

2:27

Is my Pollock for his Strasburg defensible? 12 team mix keeper, roughly equal salaries (low 20s), I'm stocked with OF and crushing it in SB but short on SP, most of the other aces are on other contenders. This makes sense, right?

Paul Sporer

2:27

Definitely. Get any ace-level arm you can at a fair cost in this environment

Tiger Love

2:27

Castellanos or Avila ROS (position eligibility not important)? 12-team H2H 5x5 OPS league. Thanks.

Paul Sporer

2:27

Castellanos, but it's v close

Casey

2:28

Which sides wins this trade--Paxton for Bradley Jr/Tanaka? Thanks.

Paul Sporer

2:28

Prefer Paxton, not by a ton, though

Brandon

2:28

Paul I'm in a tight h2h matchup and trying to decide whether to start Alex Meyer @ Bos tonight. Also have Darvish and Wood going but tough matchups for both of them as well. What do you think? Roll the dice?

Paul Sporer

2:28

Eeek, that's tough. I'd say no and roll w/Yu & Wood

Bluehorseshoe

2:28

NL only 5x5, ROS RGrichuk or JJay?

Paul Sporer

2:28

Grichuk

Ryan K

2:28

OFers seems like a dime a dozen this year. Pick one that can be safely dropped in standard, if any: Avi Garcia, Corey Dickerson, Ian Desmond, Aaron Hicks

Paul Sporer

2:28

Avi. Just not as dynamic as the others-- agree that OF is mad deep

Hannah Hochevar

2:29

AL league w/ stiff start cap: am I crazy to think about sitting Yu @ NYY tonight? You and Eno talked about that line-up and homer stuff, and he's been very uneven...

Paul Sporer

2:29

Ya, I think that's getting too cute, espec. in an AL only

Rob

2:30

I'm not a contender in my 16 team QS dynasty. Giving up Scherzer to get Degrom and Berrios should probably make sense for me right?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Ya I can see that, buuuut I'd prefer to get a big bankable bat for Max

Casey

2:30

What's your take on Porcello? Looks like he's suffered a lot of bad luck, but is also getting hit quite hard. I haven't watched, but I'm thinking of buying low.

Paul Sporer

2:30

Ya I think he's contributing to most of it as opposed to bad luck

This is in his range of outcomes for sure

Justin Upton

2:30

Who is gonna take me?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Not sure. But someone can use a solid everyday OF

Frozone

2:30

Is it still a buy-low kind of situation for Paxton

Paul Sporer

2:31

Ya, I think he's cheaper than he was pre-DL in most cases

Linus

2:31

Ian Happ a 10-team bat yet? 2B-eligible in ESPN as well.

Paul Sporer

2:31

Not yet, no. Pitiful batting average.

Dan

2:31

Bellinger is close to a first or second rounder next year, right?

Paul Sporer

2:31

No, not at all

2:33

I mean, I love Bellinger. I was raving about him after AFL, but let's tap the damn brakes, lol

Rob

2:33

Paul! Help! With Nunez out my options on the wire are Addison and hernan. My gut says Hernan but Addison has been hot as of late. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

2:33

Hernan more dynamic, but Addy is heating up

I'll go Hernan, which is a big change bc I thought he was a stone-cold fluke last year

Sam Malone

2:34

What are your expectations for Homer Bailey in his return?

Paul Sporer

2:34

No expectations, but watching eagerly as a big fan

Heathcliff Slocumb

2:34

Trade Archer and Chapman for Thor and Honeywell in 12 tm keep forever, OK if I'm not competing until next year?

Paul Sporer

2:34

Ya I can get behind that with a future outlook

Big Tuna

2:35

If I'm struggling in WHIP mainly from my closers, but they're getting saves, what would your strategy be?

Paul Sporer

2:35

Try to supplement it with SPs bc you gotta keep the SVs coming

Wally

2:36

Thoughts on S. Matz? Expectations for ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:37

Not quite a must-start, but close. I know the skills haven't been great yet this year, but I have a hard time seeing scenarios where I'm not starting him.
