I'm really excited about Juan Soto. That's all.

Paul Sporer

4:08

Understandable

HBP

4:08

Thoughts on Carps recent turnaround?

Paul Sporer

4:09

It's six games. if he completely turns it around and ends up as a plus bat, I'll absolutely acknowledge that I was wrong for tabbing him as a stayaway, but I'm not sold on six games

Hobbs

10tm H2H dynasty std cats. Think Baez and Manaea are enough for Lindor?

Paul Sporer

4:10

It's not an awful offer, but it probably won't get it done. You can make a perfectly offer and your leaguemate can still say no just bc they don't want to trade the player in question

MarinerDan

Godley has been a bit of a disappointment this year, but then I see that he is top-5 in soft contact. Reason for optimism going forward?

Paul Sporer

4:11

The WHIP has been rough, but this is definitely in the range of outcomes for him. I'm not too worried.

Nick Pollack

4:11

You're tacky and I hate you.

Paul Sporer

4:12

Geee, I'm sure this is the real Nick Pollack

Took notice of Duvall upping walk rate, HH 41% and statcast has him with a nice FB avg distance. Would you recommend a buy even though he is somehow getting benched when facing righties even without a split?

Paul Sporer

4:13

Ya I like Duvall. Very nice power bat and he's not going to hit sub-.200 all year

Gregg

4:13

Loved the points you made on the FIREy side chat the other day, only thing id say is to let Nick in to try and defend his position to the fullest before going back at him. Couple times he hadn't finished his point before you started countering him (btw i tended to lean towards your points but thought Nick could use a bit more room to flesh his out). LOVE the differing opinions though and the passion.

Paul Sporer

4:14

That's a completely fair point and I'll definitely be cognizant of that when engaging in the Fireside debates

4:14

Do you see Conforto turning it around?

Paul Sporer

4:14

Not really. That shoulder is very concerning

Dave

4:14

On a scale of 1-10, how valuable will Gohara prove to be in a 16-team dynasty league?

Paul Sporer

4:15

Trevor Cahill

4:16

Do you like or love me tonight vs SEA?

Paul Sporer

4:17

Big fan! http://www.espn.com/fantasy/baseball/story/_/id/23565293/fantasy-baseb...

Alex

4:18

Trade Tanaka for seager? My record is poor and looking to rebuild for next season

Paul Sporer

4:18

For Corey Seager? Sure

Henry

4:18

Can I cut Greg Holland now, or could he still become a valuable RP?

Paul Sporer

4:18

Totally fine cutting. I just cut him in a league myself this past Sunday

notacop

4:18

How long until we see Austin Riley called up?

Paul Sporer

4:18

Any day now!

Kenny

4:18

Is there still hope for Buxton to become a fantasy monster or should owners be selling? (Keeper & dynasty)

Paul Sporer

4:19

There's still a chance, but the probability of "Amazing Byron Buxton" has definitely dropped from his prospect status. That said, selling now seems rough bc you can't really ask for all that much

Cody Bellinger

4:19

How many bombs will I finish the season with?

Paul Sporer

4:20

Carrasco or Hamels? Keeper League

Paul Sporer

4:21

Carrasco for sure. Hamels has been better than most expected, but he's definitely behind Carrasco for me

Bill

4:22

Can Mikolas and Pivetta work as 3rd and 4th pitchers in a 15 team roto league ROS

Paul Sporer

4:22

Ya, I can see that, especially behind two studs

The volatility of pitching means you should always be working on your rotation and where a guy slots in your rotation can move around

4:23

Soto- tempted to trade high in a keep forever league as I'm competing this year bc of hype being so high right now. 10 teamer, OBP- what haul should I look for in return? Or what tier of player?

Paul Sporer

4:23

Ask for the moon, see where that hype's at

4:24

But as I always say, there is no real answer here because it depends on your market. These questions are a lot better if you say "I'm trying to get player X, Y, or Z for this player... is that viable?"

Al Frankelstein

4:24

Re: Soler ... Top 30 OF ROS?

Paul Sporer

4:24

Nah, not that high.
