Trout 0 for last 19. Time to sell!

Paul Sporer

Not even good!

Do you think Quintana was overdrafted? This is the 2nd straight year he has started off pretty awful and more importantly his fastball velocity sucks. It seems more often than not when you try to rely on him, he gets rocked. I think we all overvalued his durability vs his stuff.

Paul Sporer

3:50

No, there was no reason to believe he'd perform as we've seen thus far in '18 with big BB and HR surges. His velo is fine, espec. for a lefty. He's pitching poorly, but not in any way that predictable at all so I don't really think we can then look back and say he was overvalued in the draft market. That's definitely hindsight 20/20 talkin right there

I don't watch any Braves games so just scouting the stats. Are better things ahead for AJ Minter? You boldly predicted he'd reach 100 K after his filthy September last year. At this pace he might not even reach 60.

Paul Sporer

3:51

Barring some insane run of 2-3 K outings, he's not getting 100, but he opened with 0 K in his first four outings. He has 16 in 14 IP since.

I have one N/A spot and it's currently occupied by Willie Calhoun. Do I drop him for Vlad Jr?

Paul Sporer

3:52

Sure, I can do that. I do like Calhoun and think he has the higher chance to contribute this year (and sooner), but shooting for the moon with an NA spot makes sense and means Vlad Jr. is the play

Is Goldschmidt valuable as a buy low? I traded Kershaw and Votto for Goldschmidt, Castellanos, Bud Norris and Kenta Maeda in a 5x5 (where you start 2 RP, so I'm excited about Bud Norris having dual qualifications so I can plug him as a starter and accrue saves). Curious about your thoughts.

Paul Sporer

3:53

Ya I like buying Goldy. I think he will be fine. We'll say Goldy/Kershaw kinda cancel out so it's Votto for Casty, Norris, Maeda which isn't bad

Tom

Hey Paul, getting a lot of interest in my C Seager share in a 20 team keep 6 forever points league. What level SP word

Paul Sporer

3:54

In a keep 6 forever, you can ask for the moon

Dejong DL'ed with a fractured hand. Brutal.

Paul Sporer

3:54

Aw man, that sucks!

He was beasting again.

OddBall Herrera

Musgrove looks *really* good in rehab. More Pirates black magic incoming?

Paul Sporer

3:55

Not even black magic, he's just good. Plus they love fastballs and I think they will maximize his

Max

Hi Paul! I know you're a big Tigers fan. Leonys Martin is coming back soon. His numbers have looked very good (LA + Hard it both up). How has he looked to the eye?

Paul Sporer

3:57

Pretty damn good! I was bummed when he hit the DL. Full disclosure, I'm a Martin fanboy dating back to his time in Round Rock (AAA Texas) and I've been dying for a breakout ever since and now he's on my favorite time. The thing is, he cost nothing so we can just ride it out for whatever he's got in the tank

3:58

OK y'all I gotta get going! Thanks for coming out. Look for an extended chat next week on Wednesday or Thursday. I'll tweet it out for sure. We'll go 2+ hours at least. Follow me on Twitter (@sporer) and Twitch (psporer24)! Have a great weekend!!!

Jose Quintana

Why so much hate on me?? It’s not my fault the Braves are good and Coors is unfair

Paul Sporer

3:58

You're all good, Q. Don't sweat it! :)

OK, bye for real!

Damn, one more....
