Is Royce Lewis' demolition of AAA moving the needle at all for you? Or is this mostly just "he's doing what a 26 year old with MLB experience should be doing"

Paul Sporer

You know how ppl say "oh I'm in the bag for him"... i LIVE in the bag for Royce. I just love him, so I've been geekin over this Triple-A explosion. I think I made a comment a couple chats ago that I'm still like 4 years from quitting him... at least 4.

I just think he's so good and that it's always health interfering, not skill. Guys like that, I just don't let go until the skill truly wanes.

Looking to round out the final 2 in my rotation for next week (Messick, Sanchez, Yamamoto are my rocks). Need 2 of: Webb (WAS, CHC), Zebby (@DET), Warren (@TOR), McClanahan (@LAA)

Webb's 2 start is enticing, but coming off injury after having sucked prior seems very risky

Paul Sporer

2:08

Mc 100% and then it's Warren/Webb. You can see how today goes and let that influence you re: Webb or just sit out the 2-step regardless of today since the matchups aren't easy. I wouldn't cut him in any case, but I'm not averse to possibly skipping Webb

Didn't listen to you and got re-seduced by GrayRod. No reason to hold in even the deepest of league, right? (Ball off Adell's head aside.)

Paul Sporer

2:09

Yeah I think we can cut until further notice. He's not irredeemable or anything, but I came into this year feeling I really wouldn't be back in on him until 2027 unless he just COMPLETELY shocked us this year (and he has not... well maybe he has, but to the negative)

Re: Kelenic level prospects. Travis Snyder. I was so excited to see the spectacle of domination which....did not happen to put it nicely...

LUNCHBOX!! I was a big fan of his, too!

Ty for ur knowlege: Curtis Mead or TJ Rumfield ROS (20 team 20 categories)? Also -- which handful of these guys would you most rather have ROS Lambert, E. Cabrera, J. Jones, Baz, Spencer Miles, Jax, T. Rodgers, N. Cameron, Bello and Gage Jump? I know it's a lot so pick however many you feel is right.

Paul Sporer

2:17

Mead/Rum is close for me!! I think Coors is enough to be the tiebreaker, so let's get a slight lean on Rumfield. As for the pitchers, I wouldn't worry about rest of season so much as the next 4-6 wks. None of these are aces so they don't have a guaranteed leash until the end of the season, so if you can line up their expected matchups for the next couple weeks, that could help sort through such a big cluster.

I'd lean Cameron/Cabrera off the dome (Jones would be higher if he weren't coming off a missed season, but I do like him more in 2027 and beyond) but I also made you a little leaderboard to look them over after you lay out their upcoming schedules.

Tradition 12 team Dynasty roto. Do I hold on to Bubba and or Zebby.

Paul Sporer

2:17

Bubba. Let me be clear that it's a not a HUGE endorsement of him, but rather a lack of interest in Zebulon!

Andrew

2:18

Any advice on how to mentally deal with Detmers?! he's shown so much upside and all predictive metrics love him, but he just cant show any consistency

Paul Sporer

2:19

Ooh my pitching version of Royce Lewis in that I'm still years away from quitting him! A couple Duds have pushed the ERA up, but I'm trusting the core skills and keeping him in my rotation for all formats

Will DeLauter's trade value ever again be as high as it was on March 30, 2026? I feel like he's going to be a Yandy Diaz "The power has finally arrived!" tease for years to come

Paul Sporer

2:22

Yeah it was no doubt SKY HIGH in that first week! Health is the biggest hurdle for DeLauter as he only once topped 50 gms in a minor lg season and it was only 57! I'd be more concerned about him Yandying if he had that same heavy groundball lean, but he's got a more diverse batted ball profile that shouldn't limit his power as we see with Diaz.

Could Miguel Vargas be turning into the next JRam type cheat code before our eyes? One of my fantasy MVPs for sure.

Paul Sporer

2:27

Dang, y'all just hitting on some of my absolute faves today! Vargas isn't quite as Royce status, but I've been in his camp for years and I love seeing what he's doing this year. I stop short of a J-Ram comp, especially bc his AVG seems to be capped by his batted ball profile being so flyball heavy, but that doesn't mean he can't be a fantasy stud for us even if he's hitting .240-.250. Normally we'd see a .234 BABIP and scream regression, but a career .233 BABIP and the aforementioned crazy flyball lean make it a tough sell that he's going to really flip that BABIP too much.

They were lookin for you in Ben's chat this morning, did you see that?

2:28

Y'all absolutely rule!!! I wish I could clear the queue, but I do have to get going and finish up these SP rankings to drop for y'all tomorrow. Take care and thanks for coming out!
