What are we doing with Raleigh in 12 team redrafts? he's hurting more than helping, and while there isn't much on the wire, there are options that won't hurt batting average. is it time to cut?

Paul Sporer

1:49

I can't, even in a 12. He's actually 30th on the Player Rater which is kinda crazy given how bad he's been and how good the top end of C has been so if just gets even a bit better, he's clearing the Top 24 bar for a 2C 12-teamer. Let's see if the grand slam jars him loose for a run.

Hey Paul, middling SPs hanging on my bench with occasional starts: Bibee, Arrighetti, McGreevy, and a now-apparently-injured Ginn. They each have their strengths and weaknesses, who do you keep the longest? Who gets the axe first?

Paul Sporer

1:52

McGreevy is first cut before that Sword of Damocles comes down on me. He's delivering more slop than twitter these days and an 11% K-BB, 8% SwStr just doesn't do it for me. Bibee probably has the longest shelf life for me.

What's your read on Canzone since the platoon status was removed? Results have been pretty lukewarm at best... is the magic gone?

Paul Sporer

1:56

Too soon to say if it's overexposure as a full timer or just natural regression from a pretty high perch. A 22% HR/FB is still crazy high and could be primed for more regression, too, but I'd hang w/him through this lull a bit more

In case anyone missed the news, Crochet basically said he's done for the regular season and just trying to come back for the playoffs in case anyone was holding him still.

What do you want the Tigers to do with Skubal? Keep or trade?

Paul Sporer

1:58

Keep unless we're cooked. I think it's gonna come riiight down to it for the Tigers barring a huge W or L streak that makes em clear buyers or sellers. The only silver lining to them collapsing would be the prospects of a Skubal trade

Who says no jackson Merrill for lodolo steer and pagan

Paul Sporer

2:01

Hmm, that's pretty interesting. Might still have to get a bit more in there for SD bc while they'd no doubt like to move some of these big deals, Jackson's probably not atop the list

Any chance this new Austin Riley can stick around all second half?!?

Paul Sporer

2:03

Oh certainly a chance. Even if he's just his July the rest of way would be nice: .792 OPS with huge pop

Phillip Denny

Wrobleksi has to firmly be above Sheehan in all formats, right? I know the peripherals make it seem close, but dude has literally half the ERA and goes much deeper into games.

Paul Sporer

2:07

Yes but only because Wrobo's skills are surging. If he was still firmly sub-20% K, I'd be really concerned. He's looked great over his L5: 1.90 ERA/0.94 WHIP/23% K-BB. Sheehan still has great skills, though, and is still a pretty firm start in most matchups.

David Wiers

2:07

Hi again, Paul! Feel OK starting Ian Seymour @ TOR tomorrow? Feels like a good matchup, but he's been iffy lately.

Paul Sporer

2:08

He has been, TOR is dreadful so if we can't start him here, we can't start him. I'd run him!

What's worse - dropping a player in a H2H league only for a future opponent picking him and starting him vs you and getting diesel results (in this case Keller today) or being a commissioner of a professional league getting paid millions and not spending an extra few minutes to learn the correct way to pronounce the name of the potential #1 pick in the draft?

Paul Sporer

2:08

LOOOOOOL. Def the latter. I think he called him Rock Chalk Jayhawk... he had to know that was wrong!

2:10

OK y'all, I gotta scoot. Cool to say "gotta scoot"? Very. Anywayyyy, thanks for coming out, next week will be fun with the Deadline looming. Maybe we can start to identify some potential guys to get who will fill in spots we expect to be traded. Take care, y'all!
