No, he's never done anything to suggest he's a must start anywhere. Roster him sure, but not must start

Dan

How many ballgames you gotten to this season? Seen any good ones?

Paul Sporer

5:04

Just a handful and no MLB ones being in Austin. Saw the Horns on Saturday and it was awesome. Hoping they host a regional so I can go to that, too

Kakie Bryan

Sell or hold Domingo Santana? He's kinda turning it around

Paul Sporer

5:04

You're not getting much if you sell so I'd hold (and am holding in a league)

Kenny

Rank: Tanaka, Darvish, Ohtani

Have you used the event Cutch card?

Paul Sporer

5:05

Not yet

Han Soto

5:05

Never tell me the odds that I'd be called up.

Paul Sporer

5:05

That's a Star Wars reference, right? Not much of a fan, sorry

Do you DFS?

Paul Sporer

5:06

Couple times a week and for low stakes. Don't have the time to put in to making lineups that I'd like

Alen Hanson was raking for SF until he strained his hamstring. When he returns, will he get playing time, or will Joe Panik send him to the bench?

Paul Sporer

5:07

If he keeps performing, he will play. I've written the last two articles he's mentioned in on his player profile page - https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=12926&position=2B/OF - so I'm a fan

You're killing me with these surprise chats and Friday chats starting hours earlier than scheduled. If I don't post a question within the first ten minutes of the chat, it never gets answered, so I usually plan to be on my computer right when you're scheduled to chat. Surprise chat or early chat = my questions not getting answered. :-(

Paul Sporer

5:07

Sorry, I had no idea I'd be chatting today

Harold

5:08

Would you drop Samardzija or Fulmer to take a shot on Gohara?

Paul Sporer

5:08

I could see it with Shark, but no way on Fulmer

Pad Squad

5:09

Do you think the Padres' rebuild will pay dividends? It's all depth and no stars with that organization. They have loads of Franchy Cordero and Franmil Reyes types, but almost no Corey Seagers/Cody Bellingers.

Paul Sporer

5:09

Fernando Tatis says hi

Seranthony Dominguez

5:09

Will I become the closer in Philly? If so, when?

Paul Sporer

5:09

Maybe, but I have no idea when. That's a manager's whim so I could give you a blind guess, but it won't be helpful. He's got enough skills to possibly be a mixed league viable arm even as a middle reliever, though

jweeds11

5:11

Did you ever try working for a team?

Paul Sporer

5:11

No, I'm really happy doing what I do now. But I'm also not sure I have a skillset desirable for teams

Mark

5:11

Would you roster middle relievers who give you multiple innings (Glasnow,

Paul Sporer

5:12

Yes, but not Glasnow

weezy

5:12

What % of submissions are people trolling you?

Paul Sporer

5:12

Fewer than you'd think, tbh

Harold

5:13

Is Pivetta more trustworthy at this point than Tanaka? Pivetta seems to be busting out and Tanaka seems to never be able to perform consistently.

Paul Sporer

5:13

Where were you Pivetta lovers when I slotted him 36th and everyone was up in arms? https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/may-starting-pitcher-rankings-update...

F-Rome

Cahill owned in 18% of ESPN leagues -- thats a joke right?

Paul Sporer

5:13

ESPN is primarily 10-team mixers and he's just recently off the DL, but yes it's too low

Adam

5:13

Play descalso over kinsler right now? 16 tm

Paul Sporer

5:14

Sure, but don't cut Kinsler yet
