Let's get this out of the way..Is Anibal Sanchez restorable in a 12 team mixed? I sooo badly want to dump Dylan Bundy!

Paul Sporer

2:27

I'm kinda out on Bundy, too, but I can't do that. I still think Bundy has enough name value to get SOMETHING. Maybe do a 2-for-1 -- or 2-for-2 where the second piece you get is just some trash you can cut immediately if you want to scoop Anibal

2:28

As for Anibal, I gave him a quick hit in RR this morning: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/roto-riteup-july-7-2017/#more-99166

2:29

The changeup seems to be back and that's always been a key driver to his success. I'm not RACING to get him in 12-teamers, but I can in the right sitch

Henry

2:29

Fridays are the best because we get a Paul Sporer Chat! Should I bench Lindor until he can start to hit again or do I need to still have him in the lineup every day?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. You just have to ride it out. He's still on pace for 28 HR, 80 RBI, 90 R and SS is so lame that he's 12th on Player Rate even w/the bad AVG

Joe G

2:30

Have extra outfielders and a hole at first...Getting F. Freeman for A. Miller & Khris Davis???

Paul Sporer

2:30

I dig it

Paul Sporer's Evil Twin

2:34

Todd Frazier for Drew Pomeranz. Fair deal? I'd be getting the Toddfather.

Paul Sporer

2:34

That works

Brian dozier

2:34

So the home runs we're gonna come down obv but 2016 looks like a big outlier for a guy with a career OPS of like .760 now doesn't it?

Paul Sporer

2:35

Ya and it'd be disingenuous for me to pretend I had it pegged that he'd be like this, but I stayed away particularly bc I just didn't know what we'd get. I had zero feel for him

Ham Sandwich

2:36

Rank these SPs: Cahill, Newcomb, Karns, and Rodon

Paul Sporer

2:36

http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/starting-pitcher-rankings-update-june... --- Cahill was DL'd when this came out, but he's a Usually Start guy

Giancarlo notnatS

2:37

Is Mallex Smith turning himself into a Starling Marte lite?

Paul Sporer

2:38

Hmm, so is that just anyone who steals a lot but does nothing else? I Mallex is another Jarrod Dyson, Ben Revere type at the young end of the spectrum

Brad

2:38

Do you think Donaldson and machado are top 15 players ros?

Paul Sporer

2:39

Haven't considered a top X list for ROS, but they have a strong chance to be despite uninspired first halves

I don't think I'd rank them as such rn, though

Cory

2:39

Paul, I've been trying to trade high on Bundy all year, now I'm worried its too late. In a keeper league, is "selling high" on Bundy to buy low on Buxton too low?

Paul Sporer

2:40

I hear you, I think the writing is on the wall. Most leagues will still have a buyer, but it might 1-2 ppl now instead of 5-6 a couple wks ago. I don't love Buxton, but I can get behind it in a keeper lg

Symmetra

2:40

C. Knebel and S. Gray for J. Gray and S. Manaea. Who wins this trade?

Paul Sporer

2:40

It's pretty fair, but I'd say the Knebel side does if they have a big SV need

Kevin

2:40

Luis Castillo or Mike Clevinger - rest of this season and future?

Paul Sporer

2:43

Castillo, but barely. They're both probably back end Spot-Start, top tier Could Starts in the next update: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/starting-pitcher-rankings-update-june... (I didn't have Castillo in this update)

2:44

likelihood that Jarrod Dyson gets traded?

Paul Sporer

2:44

Certainly possible. I haven't seen many rumors about him, but I also haven't seen a ton of rumors in general yet

Cory

2:44

In my keeper league, owner to far back to compete has to drop Segura or Marte before next year and I need speed. I can keep either for one year. Would a combo of Bundy, Grichuk, Carlos Santana enough to get one? I can throw in picks too

Paul Sporer

2:44

I feel like that could be enticing enough if they like Bundy at all

David B

2:44

Rate ROS: Taillon, Godley, Jimmy Nelson?

Paul Sporer

2:45

That's my order: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/starting-pitcher-rankings-update-june... -- like all three.

Dean

2:45

Need power, have plenty of average. Okay to trade LeMahieu for Schoop?

Paul Sporer

2:45

Definitely, feels like a perfect needs fit

Bryan

2:45

i can keep one minor leaguer on my roster. I'm in between Albies and Devers. Who would you prefer for the rest of this season?

Paul Sporer

2:47

Think I'd go Albies. Speed more rare and while both are 20, he's at AAA already

Joey

2:48

Yo... Now that Gray and Duffy are healthy can you pls rank them RoS with Pomeranz and Nelson?

Paul Sporer

2:48

Nelson, Duffy, Gray, Pomy

Collie

2:48

Thoughts on Urias in dynasty? Not being able to stash on DL led me to cut him (see if I can keep it below the radar and get him back) for another MiLB SP but man it sucked to cut him

Paul Sporer

2:49

Such a bummer to see him go down with this serious injury. It's really hard to hold on if you keep limited MiLBers

Don

2:49

Moustakas or Pac man for my last roster spot in a 10 team roto?
