Nah, I'd prob stick w/Willi

Do you expect Luke Weaver to get the majority of save chances in Pittsburgh now? Also, I have to keep the faith in Edwin Diaz now that he's back from the IL, right?

Paul Sporer

1:50

Yes on Edwin for sure. As for Weaver, I'd say it's an elevated version of the Hoffman MIN situation I outlined earlier where Weaver's the A-option with a chance to be come the unquestioned* guy if he just runs with it. I say elevated bc I like Weaver a bit more than Hoff.

*except if there's 2-3 lefties in the 9th, then Soto/Monty

Will Webb and Zeferjahn both carry decent value going forward in SV+H leagues?

Paul Sporer

1:52

Yes, though Webb could get pushed up the pen a bit when Palencia gets back and then Zefer & Palencia would be the 1-2 punch. The BB are a bit unruly but I love what I've seen from Zefer this year. If he can get closer to 10-11% instead of 14%, he could take off!

Woo for wilyer Abreu seem fair in 12 TM AL roto?

Paul Sporer

1:52

Totally!

Bradish for Caballero and Baz a fair offer in al roto?

Paul Sporer

1:52

Also fair. Prefer the first deal if you're chasing hitting, but both are fine

Who will have a better first trial vs mlb pitching: Genao or Lombard?

Paul Sporer

1:53

Lombo. Not just bc he went yard last night, but just bc he's a good shade better than Genao for me

Hello Paul. I'm in trade talks right now. I need OBP and will trade Okamoto and C. Scott for Arozarena and a choice of Wrobleski, Nick Martinez or Jax. Who would you take???

Paul Sporer

1:56

I'd grab Wrobo! He was running hot early in the year w/that paltry K% and it seemed like smoke & mirrors, but lately we've seen the skills surge. Even w/12 ER in the last 2 starts, he has a 25% K-BB over his L5 making me worry less about the 4.99 ERA he's had in that time.

Do you think Hoffman is automatically the guy in Minnesota>

Paul Sporer

1:56

Scroll up! (Or Ctrl-F Hoffman to see our earlier discussion on him!)

The K-Man

1:56

Thanks for talking me off the Corbin ledge. Just his worst month of career save a slow start in 2024.

Paul Sporer

1:57

No prob. It's been undeniably bad and he's had some injury history that makes me wonder if he's grinding through something, but even if he's just solid the rest of the way (upper 700s OPS w/nice HR-SB), I can still see him having 1st round juice next year. He's an elite fantasy player!

Jor Algenson

1:58

is there a bleak outlook on JWood’s ROS potential

Paul Sporer

1:59

Obliques suck! It is being termed "mild" so hopefully that's true, but we know not to take these early diagnoses as gospel. I wouldn't cut him anywhere yet or anything, but this could eat up a lotttt of the remainder of the season

Paul - thanks to you and the other FG members for the weekly chats. It's great to broaden the thinking/strategy with such great questions from the subscribers. How are you doing in your leagues? Anything in the running in the NFBCs if you participated?

Paul Sporer

2:01

No prob! Love doing the chats. I'm firmly in the mix in all my NFBC's this year! Got a couple Draft Champions competing in the Top 3, Main Event is 5th with plenty of avenues to cash and a Hail Mary path at running down 1st, and then my Online Championship, EARTH, and TGFBI leagues are all 4th right now with paths to the top!

2:02

OK y'all, gotta cut right at 2 here, but thanks so much for coming out! Back next week with more!!!
