Paul Sporer

12:59

It's certainly fair, but I wouldn't do it

GOAT aka Ozzie Albies

12:59

12 team 5x5: Kluber and myself for Altuve and Manaea. Team Ozzie FTW?

Paul Sporer

12:59

Ya, Klubot/Ozzie for me

Steve

1:00

Domingo or Dahl rest of season?

Loren

1:00

You like David Dahl ROS as a 10-team 5 OF play?

Paul Sporer

1:01

Domingo over Dahl; and yes he's an all formats guy. His upside is too rich to let him sit on any wire

John

1:01

If kershaws FB velocity stays about 1 mph down how big of a difference do you think it makes? Maybe takes him from the elite 2.2 fip range to a 2.6-2.8?

Paul Sporer

1:03

I don't really correlate velo to FIP, but he's down nearly 2 mph from 92.7 to 91. If the velo dip isn't related to any injury or anything then I think he can definitely still be great - and he has thus far - but he has come back to the pack to where he can be slotted anywhere the top 4 studs

Erik

1:03

Should I try to move Brandon Belt for Carlos Santana? Which side would have to add value to make it fair?

Paul Sporer

1:05

I'm in on that, though 1-for-1s for the same position can be tough because it kinda makes ppl think "why does he want my guy performing much worse at the same position?" so maybe do a 2-for-2 w/similarly valued Ps on the other end

Erik

1:05

How happy should I be that I spent 20% of my FAAB budget on Mac Williamson? 18-team dynasty league.

Paul Sporer

1:06

He was our biggest target in NFBC Main this past weekend so I'm on the Mac train. Hope his neck OK after that spill into the wall, but I really like the pop

Watty

1:06

ROS - Which shade of Gray do you prefer? Sonny or Jon?

Paul Sporer

1:06

Jon... just wasn't in on Sonny at all this year

gyroball

1:06

Hey Paul, is it safe to drop Stroman or just stream him? He came at a reasonable draft pick but he's just been bad despite the resurgent Jays team around him.

Paul Sporer

1:06

Need team count and league context

Joe Dirt

1:07

10tm H2H keep forever 6x6 w/ obp,slg & QS,K/9 trade Bumgarner for Albies or Moncada? SPs have been best in league Kluber, Sev, Nola, Corbin, McCullers. 2B is Happ/Nunez.

Paul Sporer

1:07

I'd do it for Albies

Steve

1:07

Drop Kimberly to pick up Villar for 2nd?

Paul Sporer

1:08

I imagine that's Kingery... seems like a neutral move

Gibson

1:08

Benintendi for Carlos Santana and Adam Eaton?

Paul Sporer

1:08

Gimme the duo

MIcah

1:09

Jon Schoop for Yoan Moncada 10-team challenge trade: who you got?

Paul Sporer

1:09

Moncada

High 5 Ghost

1:10

What’s up Paul!? Thanks for the chat!

I mostly faded OF and now have Polanco, J Martinez, Haniger, and Hicks. Are any of these guys droppable for Dahl?
6x6 head to head league that counts BB.

Thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:11

Hmm, I like Dahl as I mentioned earlier, but I can't really get rid of any of those guys for him right now

Gist

1:11

Sean Manaea gonna remain 10-team relevant?

Paul Sporer

1:11

I think so, yes

Me, me, pick ME!

1:11

Albies only has 1 SB and doesn't walk much - do I straight waive him or try to trade for someone like Ian Kennedy?

Paul Sporer

1:11

lolz

Derek

1:11

Is it time to cut LoMo? I could really use the roster spot. I've been streaming 1B (tomorrow's starter will be Valencia!).. Other streamers are Davidson (on waivers now), Mauer, Healy and Pearce. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:13

I understand if you're just streaming and can't wait for him to turn around, but he will get better. I just can't see him keeping a .140 BABIP and 5% HR/FB. Maybe you keep streaming and find your way back to him as he heats up. I can't argue cutting him right now

Javy B

1:13

Is my breakout for real? What do you expect final numbers to look like, and where do you see him going in next years drafts?

Paul Sporer

1:16

Waaaaaaaaaaay too early assess his 2019 draft slot, but it's hard to deny his skills and we could definitely see the breakout coming. I'm a little suspect on his new K% rate as his swinging strike and chase rates are essentially the same. He can do 30 HR/10 SB even if he falls back to last year's slash line

Khaaan

1:16

Did you ever go by the nickname Ball Scorer?

Paul Sporer

1:16

My entire life... that's my actual name. Nickname is Paul Sporer

Bryan

1:16

Is Matt Carpenter a buy low in an OBP league or do you think he's on the down side?

Paul Sporer

1:18

Collette got me super scared about Carp's shoulder so I just laid off in drafts. He won't be THIS bad, but I'm not buying some big surge
