sooooo

Plane Jane

11:53

How long until "he changed his swing plane" stories is similar to "he tied his shoes"?

Paul Sporer

11:54

... never? I'm sure some lazy ppl attribute any change to a swing plane change, but it's not hard to dig it and see if real changes were made

Matty P

11:54

Keep Paxton, Dallas, or Archer?

Paul Sporer

11:54

Archer

Pie

11:54

Cut two in a 12 team keep 5, offense and pitching are relatively on the same level: Faria, Bundy, Godley, HanRam, Parra, Reynolds, Rhys

Paul Sporer

Jarardo Parria

Hannah Hochevar

11:54

Thanks for the updated SP list! I've said it before, but I really like this new structure of tiers.

Paul Sporer

11:56

Thanks so much! I found myself agonizing 2-3 spots in previous rankings only to realize that's too small to matter and tiering pitchers in-season is just as valuable as doing so for the draft

Jackson

11:56

Floor for Bellinger next year? Is he still high risk high reward given his swing?

Paul Sporer

11:58

Definitely still some risk. Chris/Khris Davis 2016 seems like the floor if he stays healthy but doesn't quite dominate (buncha HRs, poor AVG)

Jorge

11:58

Godley, Nola, Faria, and Nelson have carried me to a playoff spot. Can I trust them to help me win a chip? How would you rank them?

The Dude

11:59

What are your thoughts on Zimmer over the next few years? Can he tap into that power/speed combo or will he struggle to keep the avg up?

Paul Sporer

12:00

He's been in a blackhole of hell lately, but they're still playing him and letting him work through it, so I think he'll have a flourish in Sept. w/that pwr-spd

Dan

12:00

I'm rostering both Bellinger and Taylor--should I be afraid of the Dodgers resting their guys too much come fantasy playoff time/

Paul Sporer

12:02

Nah, I don't think we really ever see that in baseball. I think the risk of playing an unnecessary week 17 game in NFL is much higher than playing the last 2 weeks of MLB games even when things are wrapped up

Luke

12:04

Kiermaier or inciarte ros in obp

Paul Sporer

12:04

Inciarte by a nose

Sonny

12:04

Missed out on Hoskins in dynasty, should I wait until offseason hope he cools off and get him at a more reasonable price or is he worth it long term (2y keep super cheap then escalating price) to pay THIS market rate?

Paul Sporer

12:05

Wait. Price is SKY HIGH right now

weezy

12:05

re: SB surging in price: in one of my leagues *every* steal guy went for a $6-7 markup from his actual value in my draft. I essentially punted steals; I have been in last all year. With the money I saved, I was able to draft Kershaw and Scherzer

Paul Sporer

12:06

Nice! I can definitely see it happening in specific leagues, but I think it'll vary league-to-league

Da Return

12:06

Thoughts on Andrew Heaney and his return. Can he help out fantasy teams down the stretch. He has had a rough two outings but its been mostly the long ball that has gotten him

Paul Sporer

12:07

I could see some spot-start viability for him, but I'll be looking at him more for 2018

12:08

So Bryan Price has stated that Duvall, Hamilton and Schebler are his starting OF. Where does that leave Winker for next year? Traded during the offseason?

Paul Sporer

12:08

4th OF. I don't think that OF is so strong that Winker is excess

Eno

12:08

Pick me so we can throw off the chat by having them see ENOs name

Pie

12:08

Since we're missing out on the beer knowledge today, can you at least give us some hot sandwich takes?

Paul Sporer

12:09

I don't like hot sandwiches that much. Fuck outta here, paninis

12:09

what do you think about AJ Pollock next year?

Paul Sporer

12:09

Can't tab him for more than 130 or so games in a projection

Sonny

12:09

Riding Delmonico ROS or cutting bait at first sign of slow down?

Paul Sporer

12:10

I'd have to see his skills wane to cut bait after a struggle. The 16% K, 15% BB is great now

spookie

12:11

What's your mode in the Show? Franchise, RTTS, DD?

Paul Sporer

12:11

Diamond Dynasty for sure. I stream at twitch.tv/psporer24 if you ever want to come by. I'll be on later today, in fact

Steve

12:11

Are we seeing the new and improved rodon? This really him?

Paul Sporer

12:14

I think we started to see some improvements last year and I was REALLY excited for him this year so the injury sucked, but yes, I think he's progressing and getting closer & closer to his best self

12:15

I'll be big on him for '18

Jon B.

12:15

Speaking of the Show, how long into the offseason do you play it? Do you ever stop and take a break before the next iteration?
