You concerned with Aaron Sanchez's xFIP and SIERA numbers and slight dip in velocity? Should we be selling?

Paul Sporer

2:26

Don't even need the advanced numbers, tbh... the inputs - primarily his K% and BB% - are the worrisome factors

Erik Wright

2:26

Paulie!!! Got a dynasty trade offer: give up Cruz and Rey Lopez and get back manaea, Sonny Gray and Jansen. Have puig on my bench that I can play at RF. What are your thoughts? Thanks man

Paul Sporer

2:27

That seems pretty fair, espec. if you believe in a Kenley Jansen rebound. The fact that the most trigger-happy DL team in the league hasn't DL'd him encourages me that it's not injury and just something he needs to work through. Ya I can do this

Rufus T. Firefly

2:27

Did Eno double his paycheck over there at the you-know-what?

Paul Sporer

2:27

Sextupled

Henrietta

2:27

Just traded Paxton for Bogaerts/Salazar did I make the right move? My current SS is Semien

Paul Sporer

2:28

Big Marcus Semien this year, but still like the deal here as a buy-low duo w/both hurt. Solid move.

King Buzzo

2:28

Over/under Nick Castellanos homers rest of year: 1.5?

Paul Sporer

2:28

Even

Dean

2:28

Been offered chapman for my Clevinger. Is this a good deal?

Paul Sporer

2:28

Hell ya

Rickon

2:28

Should I hold onto Chris Taylor? Really only kept him this long for his multi position eligibility

Paul Sporer

2:29

I am a Taylor believer so I'm riding it out. So far his detractors are looking right

Mike

2:30

H2H obp instead of avg. Trading Votto for Jose Martinez and Ozzie Albies a good idea? Already have Matt Carpenter and Ian Kinsler

Paul Sporer

2:31

I love Albies, but no. Votto is going to get his normal numbers and alllll that goodness is yet to come

Spencer

2:32

Hey Paul. I traded Votto for Greinke, Conforto, and Moncada in a 12 tm H2H 7x7 keep forever with OPS and TB added. Did I get enough for Votto?

Paul Sporer

2:33

This one's better, espec. w/Moncada surging, but I still don't LOVE trading Votto

Doug

2:33

Did you see your Tigers rough up my AL Only Alex Cobb (spring training mode) yesterday? It was a lot of groundball hits and a couple blasts, but Cobb's pitches looked a little crisper, there were some whiffs and K's, and bad defense hurt him. Wondering what you saw, and am I safe still thinking of him as steady Eddie for middle of AL only rotation?

Paul Sporer

2:36

Stuff looked muuuuch better compared to first start, but then again, you, me, and seven others in the chat would've rocked Cobb in that first start. Still a ton of well-struck balls, even if many were on the ground. I'm OK giving him another look in AL only, but one more superdud and I gotta bounce

Brent

2:36

Should I be trying to unload Jarlin Garcia onto a sucker before his next start or could there actually be something there?

Paul Sporer

2:38

Is anyone really buying in on Jarlin Garica, though? Do these people exist? Because here's the thing, even if you find an unsuspecting newb, he doesn't know WTF Garcia is so anyone with knowledge of Garcia knows he's not some budding superstar. Opponents haven't been squaring him up, but he has terrible component numbers so I can't see this holding.

Dale

2:38

Is José Martínez a sell high candidate? If his bat goes cold, his defence isn't keeping him in the line up. What kind of players should I target?

Paul Sporer

2:39

There is some sell high viability to Martinez because he was a buzzy player in spring, but I don't really think he'll flop. The bat is really strong. His shitty defense hurts, but he'd have to collapse at the dish to start losing time. As for players to target, that's dependent on far too many variables for me to give any value in throwing out random names.

2:40

Plus, it really depends what your market will net. You have to find the right buyer.

Rufus T. Firefly

2:40

Will Nimmo win a job? Is he worth holding in a 12-teamer with five-man bench?

Paul Sporer

2:41

There's no starting role without injury so he's pretty fringy in 12-tm

Mathenaging

2:41

Dongmingo Santana really sharting the bed at the momo, BUT it appears to be very similar to his slash at this point last season. Still like him? I'm still willing to let playing time sort itself out and think it probably will. 2017 - .193/.288/.368 &nb

Paul Sporer

2:44

Good point re: Santana. He had a wretched line through a similar PA count last year. 77 PA - .182/.286/.379 -- I know people are worried about the PT, but he's too good not to play and hasn't the entire KC OF besides him been hurt at some pt already? I'm holding Domingo in most situations. The guy earlier had a lot of solid options cut him for, but most won't be so blessed. Ride it out

John

2:44

Traded Albies (and Clevinger) for Lindor. Could I actually end up regretting that?

Paul Sporer

2:47

I doubt you'd *regret* it, because the process is solid w/Lindor down and Albies up right now. I see Albies and Lindor being comparable so I'd probably just sit tight personally

Keanu

2:47

Buy Kenley and hope the Dodgers really are being careful and truly believe he isn't hurt?

Paul Sporer

2:48

Ya but get a real discount. It's been scary enough that you can offer something noticeably below his draft day cost (let's say he went round 4... offer a round 7-8 value)

Mathenaging

2:48

Andrew Miller looking good in the Josh Hader role.

Paul Sporer

2:48

Yesssss

Boof

2:49

Even year Porcello a thing? 3.31 xFIP

Paul Sporer

2:52

Less of an even year think and more of things going his way with an increased focus on his slider and changeup (both of which have been untouchable). More importantly, his sinker is staying in the yard. Solid 3.60 ERA/1.20 WHIP rest of the way

My Name is Paul too!

2:52

Buying low on Ryan Zimmerman?

Paul Sporer

2:55

Sure! He's definitely not this bad and his batted ball profile offers hope (particularly that 51% Hard contact rate and heavy LD/FB lean)

Master of Delusion

2:55

What are your thoughts on Triggs ROS? I have Gohara on the DL and looking to drop either Triggs or Newcomb once Gohara is back in a 12 H2H 14 category League.
