Better than 5.82 ERA he's had thus far, but not particularly special. I'd keep the 2 Braves

I have Junis and Lopez in a 12 team OBP/QS league. Are you worried about their 4+ xfips? And what do you think about either of them for Aaron Hicks?

Paul Sporer

2:58

I'd do either for Hicks. While I do worry about ANOTHER oblique injury for Hicks already this year, I just love his talent.

Michael Fulmer was just dropped in my 12 team roto with a 180 start limit. Worth a pick up? Would have to drop Chris Davis or Stroman. Thank you!

Paul Sporer

2:58

Absolutely. Chop C.Davis for him

Jonesy

2:58

Should Walker Buehler be grabbed immediately with speculation of a Monday start?

Paul Sporer

2:59

I hadn't seen that news yet, but if that's the case then yes, scoop now and ask questions later. His upside is massive.

Bags

2:59

Assuming Archer still has trade value based on K rate and upside, wait for a good start and then trade or hold and pray for continued improvement?

Paul Sporer

3:00

I'm looking to sell on the heels of his next big start. 2 pitch guy, can't handle lefties, and can't get through 6 regularly

Sean Manaea

In a league that trades auction dollars, is it viable to trade $25 (how much it costs for a non top 4 ace) for Thor? Basically next year, I start out with $220/$245 budget

Paul Sporer

3:00

Yeah I'm open to buying Thor in this manner for sure

Dee Gordon or Didi and Matt Chapman in a 14 team dynasty points league? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

3:03

Didi & Chap

Big G

3:03

Which side do you like in a 6x6 with OPS? Harper/Abreu or Hoskins/Cruz/Schoop. If it matters, Schoop

Paul Sporer

3:03

Harper side

Charles

3:03

Trade Trout,

Why does the banner announcing the Sporest of the chats always have the wrong time?

Paul Sporer

3:04

Whattya mean? 3 ET/2 CT, right?

Mike

3:04

Is Chapman's drop in K% real? SwSTR% is down! Could be a legitiamte .280 guy with good OBP and 30+ HR!!!!

Paul Sporer

3:05

Real in that what we've seen so far has backing, but we don't know if it'll hold. I'm betting on Chapman, though - https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/sporer-report-issue-3/

Jed Lowrie's .378 xwoba for over 700 PA's covering 2017 and 2018 is the 3rd highest for middle infielders over that span behind Correa & Seager. Some names below him - Blackmon, Rendon, Machado, Arenado, Betts, Lindor, Altuve, Jose Ramirez. Is he this good?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Lowrie is one of my biggest "what if he had stayed healthy" questions of this era. Points league stud with the 2Bs. Must roster in all formats right now

Nicholas

3:09

I give Olson for Bundy in a 12 team OBP? I'm somewhat conerned w/ Olson's K rate. Which side wins? Thanks Paul!

Paul Sporer

3:09

It's a great trade so there's no real winner, just even for both sides

Gio

3:09

Thanks. Curious, why chapman?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Because he's awesome?

Ben

3:10

Chris Taylor was dropped in my 12 team H2H categories league. Are you bullish on his ability to repeat or come close to last year?

Paul Sporer

3:10

I was a big Taylor backer in draft season and while I'm bummed so far, I'm not giving up yet so yes I would scoop him

Matt

3:10

I had a log jam in my OF. Last week I traded Cruz and Merrifield for Cano, Roark, and a 2-round upgrade (late 4th to mid 2nd) in minors draft. Cano/Cruz each keepers only this year. I freed up my DH spot, freed up $1, and converted offense to pitching. Did I do good?

Paul Sporer

3:11

I don't have any issues with this assuming the needs match in that you can afford to lose Cruz's pop and Merrifield's assumed speed.

Johnny 5

3:11

Trea Turner's walk rate is off the charts. New approach or early season noise?

Paul Sporer

3:13

I think there's some realness behind it. Don't see 17% holding all year, but more like a 12% mark... which would still nearly double last year's 7% mark

Ghost of Ned Yost

3:14

Badly need help in both my two catcher NL and AL only rotos as I full on punted C, like last two picks of the draft punted. Who are some good sleeper backups to target? Most catchers over 5% ownership are gone. I'm getting pure garbage production which is to be expected but hoping I can find some mid season gems or at least a few chips at the bottom of the bag.

Paul Sporer

3:14

You're going to have to throw some names you're looking at and I can pick from there, but this is why I don't full punt on C anymore. It's just 2 dead roster spots for too much of the year

Ben in Atlanta

3:14

Any Giles questions yet? Is Devenski best bet for hou saves for year now? Doesn’t seem like they have confidence in Giles.

Paul Sporer

3:15

I was a fulllll fade on Giles and I'm not surprised they're already leaning away from him (AGAIN). I really see Devo taking it and running away

Jeremy

3:16

How much more leeway should Luis Castillo get? Drop him and start streaming or...?

Paul Sporer

3:18

All of it? I'm not even close to letting him go, tbh. Stuff is still there and I think he'll get back on track.
