Attempting to trade for Betts at some point this season. Do you think that if Berrios and J. Martinez continue to dominate for another month or so, that would be a reasonable offer? My gut tells me no but I have to try...

Jose Martinez? No. JD Martinez? Yes, but then the difference between Betts & JD isn't Berrios so that'd be too much which is why I think you meant Jose

DJ Lemahieu for real and worth buying now?

Paul Sporer

We spoke well of him on the pod. I'll have some additional thoughts in the next Sporer Report, too. Plus check out this by Travis: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/dj-lemahieu-is-up-to-something/

Does Whit Merrifield end up hitting his pretty favorable pre-season rankings?

Paul Sporer

As long as he runs, I think it'll end up alright even if the power wanes

Any concern on EE? His line is nasty so far. I have Jose Martinez and tried to trade EE for G. Cole and was rejected.

Same thing happened last year and that doesn't mean that he will DEFINITELY come out of it, but I'm giving him at least 6-8 wks of leash

Candelairo has been hot the past week or so. Is he a solid option in 12-team mixed?

Paul Sporer

Ya he's fine. Playing time and high spot in order cover for lack of a standout skill

Trea Anderson

HOT TAKE! Tim Anderson, Trea’s senior by 72 hours, puts up a comparable season line to Turner in terms of HR and SB, while hitting .260. He’s 8 for 8 so far, upped his walk rate, and seems to have the infinite green light on a team who has no reason to put the breaks on him. Aside from injury, hard to see why he’ll stop running anytime soon...

I don't even know if that's all that hot, but the 30-40 pts in batting average between them is severe

When can we drop Chase Anderson and walk away from the imminent disaster?

Paul Sporer

4:02

I wouldn't chastise you for doing it now. I'm holding a little longer, but definitely have some concerns w/the HRs returning

OK yall, I gotta get going. As always, you can send your questions via Twitter (@sporer). You can also follow me on Twitch (twitch.tv/psporer24) and get questions answered there. I'll be streaming later this evening for several hours. Thanks for coming out, enjoy Scherzer v. Kershaw!
