% chance Tim Anderson goes 20/20 with less than 100 R and RBI combined?

Paul Sporer

3:26

38%

Lance Lynn's Corpse

3:26

Paul, gotta make a tough call in AL Only (6x6, IP and K-BB along with the regular categories). Do I pick up Lance Lynn and drop Chirinos or Kopech? Could also drop Rondon or B. Parker, but I'm really hurting for saves. I know you ranked Lynn a little higher this time, but would you make this move to add him?

Paul Sporer

3:27

Hang onto your closers and I think you can do it for Chirinos.

zurzles

3:28

ok but even ignoring the holds/MRPs thing it'd still be fun to do bullpen slots

Paul Sporer

3:28

It could be interesting to do team bullpens, but I love discovering guys like Chris Devenski, Brad Hand, and Josh Hader ahead of the curve and while that's still possible w/team bullpens, it wouldn't be as prevalent

Cole Hamels

3:28

If I get traded out of Texas...will I be good again? Especially if I got to the NL?

Paul Sporer

3:29

Already pitching pretty well despite the massive HR rate. But ya, leaving Texas could def help that (he's got like a 2.0 HR/9 at home this yr)

JAL

3:29

12-team 5x5, my Trey Mancini for his Tyson Ross. I needed to shed bats and get a SP. OK?

Paul Sporer

3:29

V good deal

Donny

3:29

Need a quick jolt of power. Hicks and Fowler are stinking up my outfield. Drop either of them for Duvall? Franmil Reyes?

Paul Sporer

3:29

I can move from Fowler for Duvall

Dave

3:33

Any interest in a Shelby Miller stash... or is he a wait-and-see?

Paul Sporer

3:34

With a DL spot maybe, but not a reserve spot. I usually lay off on the return year from TJ since it's so volatile

Dave

3:34

To put a little more focus on that Gattis question... Gattis or Wilson Ramos ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:35

Ramos by a shred

joe

3:35

My NL only team is getting killed by Carpenter and Santana. Any hope for me?

Paul Sporer

3:35

I'm not on the Carp bounce back train, but I do think Santana will be fine. I understand the metrics w/Carp, but he's not healthy and I just don't see a huge comeback

Bert

3:35

Drop Odor or Jose Martinez for Cron?

Paul Sporer

3:36

Can't see Odor being THIS bad, but I'm fine ditching him for Cron

Rick

3:36

I have Nick Markakis but need pitching help. Is Markakis for Trevor Bauer a fair trade to offer? Could I get better?

Paul Sporer

3:38

It won't get done even though I don't think it's unfair. A lot of folks likely don't buy into what Markakis is doing and I understand skepticism, but he's also got great skills underneath this performance so even a pullback should still be good. I just think the market won't value him that highly

Bert

3:38

ROS: Cron or Davidson? Thanks.

Paul Sporer

3:38

Cron

Turgid

3:38

Pick one to start tomorrow Quintana @Cin or Heaney vs TB?

Paul Sporer

3:38

I have Q ranked a little higher but in this situation w/these matchups, I'm going Heaney

Vicente Padilla

3:38

Sorry I’m tardy to the party. Do you think Odubel or Albies can keep up their dominance?

Paul Sporer

3:39

Both can stay v good for sure, but it's REALLY hard to play your best baseball for 6 straight months, so both will come down some. Albies is a top 50 guy, Herrera a top 90-100

3:40

Gotta take Charlotte out then I'll answer a handful more before wrapping up

3:45

Pardon the delay

Dov

3:45

I’m just throwing this name out there because he’s never discussed but do you have any thoughts on Josh Bell?

Paul Sporer

3:46

Solid bat, best used as a CI/UT type. I think we'll see his power tick up toward last year's marks

Vegan Man!

3:46

Think Christin Stewart will get the call sometime this year and have an impact in a 14 team points league (no negative for K's)? Thank you!

Paul Sporer

3:47

Yes and yes. At 24, there's no reason for the Tigers to go out of their way to keep him in the minors. Big pop with 39 HRs since the start of last year

Jerry

3:47

How long do I hold Conforto in a Roto 12 team mixed league?

Paul Sporer

3:47

I'm fine cutting now, tbh

BigAl921

3:47

Play Rizzo or Healy?

Paul Sporer

3:47

You can't sit Rizzo
