And your point about April hard-carrying is fair, too.

2:35

With Chandler Simpson nursing his thumb injury and getting less playing time, I need a backup CF in a 14 team h2h. Who do I add? Lars Nootbar, Nathan Church, Colton Cowser, or somebody else?

Paul Sporer

2:36

I like Noot. I've had a hard time quitting him over the years under the same "health is the problem, not talent" adage. Not to the same degree as Royce, but just that he's generally a plus bat when upright

Mother Tucker

2:36

It feels like things are getting bleak for Tucker. Down to 6th in the lineup now and not playing every day. His statcast page is blue almost in every category. If you throw away the name, he's a drop in pretty much every league format, except NL only. Can you ever remember this kind of bust for a 1st round pick not injury or age related?

Paul Sporer

2:38

Not off the top off my head, but they've definitely happened. Let's see if chat can remember any recently. I'll stay another minute or three to give y'all a chance to answer. Age-29 and played 63 of 66 gms, so can't be injury related.

Thinking about moving Chase Burns for Cody Bellinger. Burns is carrying my pitching and offense isn't terrible but my outfield of Yordan + McCarthy + Trout/Cags isn't sustainable. I also have Teoscar in an IL slot

Paul Sporer

2:39

What are you going to do about your pitching then? While a fair deal in terms of the players, it seems not to be a real team fit for you

Irony behind the plate

2:39

How ironic would it be if Dillon Dingler wins MVP a year after Raleigh fell short with a better season? Detroit would probably have to play a lot better going forward, but is this possible?

Paul Sporer

2:41

LOL that'd be nuts! He's not gonna, but he's been a fantasy MVP for sure!!

Challenge : Tatis Over/Under RoS HR: 1

Paul Sporer

2:41

Maybe Tatis is our answer of other 1st rounder who is just flailing despite being healthy and young

2:43

I was trying to think of historical but we've got 2 front & center this year and it's tough because with the track records of both, I'm just not gonna move off them. As the Tucker questioner said, if not named Kyle Tucker, he'd be a cut. But being Kyle Tucker with over 800 gms of a 136 OPS+ earns a lot of credit

Drop Winn for Corigg?

Paul Sporer

2:44

I'm fine with that!

Also - Gordon Beckham? He was a first rounder who had promising rookie year. He was strictly in the lineup everyday because of his glove after that.

Paul Sporer

2:44

That's 1st round real life, we were thinking 1st round fantasy

2:45

Beckham still put up a solid 11-yr career as a utility guy, but I thought he was gonna explode after his rookie year

I have Tyler Glasnow also on IL. I'm pretty certain Burns is going to be on an innings limit pretty soon. So I'm trying to get some value back for ROS.

Paul Sporer

2:48

Hmm, I can understand that. I am reluctant to get too concerned about IP limits bc they're so nebulous, especially when someone is ace'ing out like this, but since you can definitely get a mint in return, I'm good with exploring it. And in a 12-teamer, there will be more talent flowing through the waiver wire to hopefully spike some gems along the way. Maybe see what else is offered up before taking Belly, but I don't have a problem trying to sell high if it fits your team plan

OK y'all, I gotta get going. Thanks for hanging out for an extra long chat today. I'll talk to y'all next week.
