Dewey

I have Archer, Castillo, Price, and Richards - tell me it will get better.

Paul Sporer

12:51

Castillo seems to be turning around and Richards only has the one awful start. I'm not as optimistic on Archer and Price (and I love Price in draft season)

Aqua Man

12:52

Robbie Ray threw pitches in water today. Should I be concerned?

Paul Sporer

12:52

LOL what?!

Rocco

12:52

Thanks for the great chat/advice. Am I good to go with my Staff: Snell, Clevinger, Hendricks, Newcomb, and Hill/Price? Or should I try to get an Ace? My batting is league best.

Paul Sporer

12:52

You're welcome! I think you have a foundation, just stay diligent on the wire. Don't need to trade for an ace just yet

12:52

My Hanley for his G. Rich? Good, bad, or ugly?

Paul Sporer

12:53

That's fair!

wadz

12:53

So.... Juan Soto

Paul Sporer

12:54

Nats 19 y/o prospect beasting and just got moved to AA

Rocco

12:54

Is Goldschmidt somebody to aggressively bid for here, or something might be wrong?

Paul Sporer

12:55

Wait, is he on the wire? Or do you mean trade for? I'd trade for him on a discount for sure

Greg

12:55

Any thought on Buxton going forward? I'm not sure how long I should hold onto him -- drop him for Franchy?

Paul Sporer

12:56

He just came back, can't drop him now. The raw talent is there, but he's super-frustrating. You paid too high a price to just cut bait in May, though

Rocco

12:56

Is Suzuki a Top 5 Catcher ROS?

Paul Sporer

12:56

Never thought I'd be talking about Kurt Suzuki like this, but yes... absolutely

Oh, Tawny!

12:56

Sell high on Ohtani in 5x5 mixed, 10 teams? If so, suggested target level?

Paul Sporer

12:57

If it helps your team, yes. As far as target level, that's impossible to answer bc I don't know what your market will yield or what you need

George

12:57

I have Albies, Gleyber, and Odor in a 12 team H2H OBP and SLG league. Do I just drop Odor, or find room for him in my lineup? Can't really trade him because everyone hates him in my league.

Paul Sporer

12:57

I can get behind cutting him in that format w/your situation

Allan

12:58

Paul, would you drop K Marte for Alen Hanson? Marte isn't running and doing much of anything... Or is Hanson this week's shiny penny?

Paul Sporer

12:58

Hanson fanboy here - https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/post-hype-prospects-part-2/ https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/nfbc-sleepers/ so I'm here for it

Paul Spider

12:59

Hi Paul.

Paul Sporer

12:59

Hi Paul.

12:59

Tried unloading Stanton and Rizzo for Acuña and Vlad in a 20 team keeper league. He won't budge. No question, just ugh.

Paul Sporer

12:59

Fair offer, but I totally understand it on his end, too. Maybe if one of Stanton/Rizzo was BEASTING and Acuña was still in the minors, but as it is right now, I get it

Tom AND Jerry

1:00

Should I do Bumgarner and Michael Brantley for Corey Seager in a dynasty league? Not contending this year.

Paul Sporer

1:00

Yeah, I like that for a rebuild

Deserate

1:00

Would you say this fantasy rotation is good enough: CMart, McCullers, Tanaka, Godley, G Richards, Mikolas, Castillo, Taillon, Pivetta?

Paul Sporer

1:00

Seems pretty good almost regardless of league size, espec. if it's a short DL stay for CMart

Mallex P. Keaton

1:01

Christian Villanueva has really cooled off and is now losing playing time. Drop for Maikel Franco as a UTIL in 12 teamer?

Paul Sporer

1:02

I think Villa's pop is real and there are tons of LH SPs in the West so when they're heavy in-division, he's good to go, but I'm good w/getting Franco (longtime Francophile here!)

Guest

1:02

Hey Paul. Do I drop Luchessi for Eduardo Rodriguez

Paul Sporer

1:02

Sounds good!

Jorge?

1:02

Is this Soler breakout for real? What should I expect from him the ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:03

Definitely some realness to it. He's destroying lefties, but that .520 BABIP will obviously sink. I see an .850ish OPS w/nice pop rest of way

Cal Varnson

1:03

Stroman worth a stash? he's going to turn it around, right?

Paul Sporer

1:04

Worth a stash, yes, but as far as turning it around, it depends on his health which I'm very uncertain about

ThickTanPretzel

1:06

Looks like Sonny's velo is starting to tic back up. You grabbing him off waivers yet, or think he's closer to washed?

Paul Sporer

1:07

I don't think he's washed, but I wasn't really into him this year. Trying not to go full confirmation bias and claim a W, but I think he's low-to-mid 4.00s rest of way
