Thoughts on Thames going in to next year? I can keep him for $6 next year in a $270 league. It was a no-brainer in April...

Paul Sporer

2:42

I'm still keeping him. I think he'll still be solid next year

2:43

I also thought he'd stay awesome this year, though, so I'm a clown

Kings Center Brad Miller

2:43

Why has Brad Miller been so awful this year? I was expecting something between his 2015 and 2016 seasons, but it's almost as if 2016 never happened.

Paul Sporer

2:46

76 sporadic games, groin & ab injuries. I think those aspects really explain the awful run. Could see him being a big $1 payoff in 2018

Frenchy

2:46

Do you like Eloy's chances of making any impact of late 2018?

Paul Sporer

2:47

I don't see the chances being *too* high unless the Sox rise up early and are in the mix

2:48

I keep holding Maybin in all of my leagues because he can easily rip off 5 SB in a week, but he's worthless right now. There are no steals on the wire anywhere. Time to bail for help in other categories?

Paul Sporer

2:49

Ya 1-for-5 since June 28th :-\

Harold

2:49

If you had to drop a pitcher to get some hitting, which of the following would you say I'll have no regrets in dropping: Ryu, Faria, Rodon, Lamet...also, looking forward to new pitching rankings! :)

Paul Sporer

2:50

Lamet

(rankings still coming!)

Zock Jr.

2:52

Who's the better hitter ROS: Devers or Mookie?

Paul Sporer

2:52

Mookie, of course

Harold

2:52

What are your thoughts on running a 0 catcher strategy? I had Wilson Ramos and Tyler Flowers recently but they were either not playing much or not producing. So I use the spot for extra SP and go 0 catcher since not much out on the waiver. Thinking about abandoning and picking up Avila or Pina though...

Paul Sporer

2:53

in a 1 C league? I can understand it for a period of time here and there, but even with the meager offerings, their counting numbers are still better than a total 0. of course, if your offense is humming and you have enough over-performers to cover it, then by all means you can do it for a few weeks

Jaas

2:54

Fowler over M.A. Taylor in re-draft, right?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Ya unless you desperately need the speed more

Splitting Hairs?

2:54

Puig v. Hicks ROS

Paul Sporer

2:54

Hicks for me

2:54

Cargo or Pham ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Pham

2:56

I'm just done with Cargo for 2017.

Alvin

2:56

How are you feeling about Dexter Fowler rest of season? Worthy of a 3 OF league?

Paul Sporer

2:56

He's on the border, but I can see a team using him and it not being out of bounds

Dr. Met

2:57

Shouldn't we just shut down Matz before he somehow tears his body apart from walking up the stairs or something?

btw I see you tweeting, no wonder! :)

Paul Sporer

2:57

No wonder what?

But ya, I can see Matz's season being ended prematurely

Rizzo

2:57

How do you value Odor in a dynasty? Still so young, but my hopes of a breakout are fading.

Paul Sporer

2:58

I've never been a big Odor fan, but even with that I think he's a buy in dynasty and worth holding if you have him

Kevin

2:58

I want to drop Amed Rosario, but not comfortable rolling with Xander ROS. Should I platoon, or drop Xander/Rosario?

Paul Sporer

2:58

I really wouldn't want to drop either right now if you can avoid it. Just platoon them and see if one catches fire

Longo

2:58

RODON!! Safe to rely in him for the playoffs?

Paul Sporer

2:59

Welllll he's never been particularly safe, even at his best, so I wouldn't use that word, but I am using him in pennant chases of all formats

JOhn

2:59

I'll say it again - let's stop accepting questions from ppl in 8 or 10-team leagues... who still have guys like Khris Davis on the waiver.

Paul Sporer

3:00

You can keep saying it, but it's still stupid. The idea that 8-10 team leagues are somehow inferior is just silly. It's simply a different set of parameters. In an 8-10 league, he doesn't have the same value he does in a 15-team league. That's obvious, but still seems lost of ppl who think only deep leagues are worthwhile.

3:01

I like deeper formats as much as the next, but they also become a battle of attrition where we actually ADD luck into the mix despite some believing it does the opposite. In an 8-12 team league, there are always options so it comes down to the management and I'd contend it flexes more fantasy skill than a 20-team mixer or 12-team AL Only
