Let's take some baseball!!!

Rendon+Devenski for Springer?

Paul Sporer

2:07

Seems fair!

Joe

2:07

I am in 8th place in my roto league. What can I do?

Paul Sporer

2:08

Do an honest assessment of what kinda points you can gain in each category without good but not off-the-charts production and then make moves accordingly. Attack where you can get the most points first and go from there

Garrett Richards has a 3.67 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. But if you remove his two disastrous starts against the Yankees, in his other 9 starts, he has a 2.52 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP (9.9 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9). What do you expect from him going forward?

Paul Sporer

2:09

I'm a Richards fan without a doubt, but he seems to *always* have the couple of duds mixed in which keeps him from being that low or sub-3.00s ERA guy. I still love the arm talent and will continue to start him across all formats

12 team OBP league (H2H): if I deal Lowrie for a SP, what level of SP should I try for?

Paul Sporer

2:10

Let's put a quick kibosh on these Qs before we get too many. It allll depends on your needs and league market. Better to say "I'm trying to get one X, Y, and Z for Lowrie, whattya think?"

Corky

2:10

Is Cervelli for real? Can he keep this up?

Paul Sporer

2:11

He has major changes behind this surge so yes I do think what we've seen is real and can continue at a strong clip - http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/sporer-report-issue-5-cervellis-power...

NL only 4x4 13 owners, looking to pick up a player for Hoskins for a couple of weeks. Max Muncy LA and Gorkys Hernandez look like to best two available at this time. Who you like better for the next month?

Paul Sporer

2:13

I prefer Muncy by a shred. I just think you missed the best of Gorkys already

Rocky

2:13

Yelich for Gleyber?

Paul Sporer

2:13

Prefer Yelich

Paul Spider

Hi Paul

Paul Sporer

2:13

Hola

Matthew

2:13

Are you buying Ames Rosario's last 30 days?

Paul Sporer

2:14

He had a .725 OPS with 3 HR, 3 SB in May... he's in big trouble if he can't maintain that

Dan

2:15

Taillon or Musgrove ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:16

Taillon. That new slider could be a game changer - https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/jameson-taillon-has-a-new-pitch/

2:16

Paul! NFBC 12 teamer, are you holding or dropping Reynaldo Lopez? Not sure the K rate supports the peripherals

Paul Sporer

2:17

His last 2 starts are such a perfect microcosm of ReyLo - 7 IP/2 ER, 2.7 IP/7 ER

In a Vacuum

2:18

Points league ROS: please rank Candelario, Soler, Nimmo

Paul Sporer

2:18

Candyman

BTW, I didn't really answer on ReyLo... dropping in 12-team

Squints

2:18

12 team OBP league (H2H): Khris Davis and Tyson Ross for Springer?

Paul Sporer

2:18

Fair move

Matthew

2:18

Deep, 14-team, 5x5, weekly lineups. How is Billy Hamilton best deployed? Play him on weeks he goes against poor throwing catchers?

Paul Sporer

2:18

On the waiver wire

2:19

Honestly, if you have him in a format like that, you just gotta ride it out. He can steal 4 bases against a healthy Yadi so I wouldn't try to get cute

Big Tuna

2:19

I was able to get Dennis Santana in a 12 tm keeper league. He's had a bit of a meteoric rise this year, so I'm not sure what you think of his long term value.

Paul Sporer

2:21

I like scooping him for the lighting in a bottle aspect as he's been fantastic this year, but my *expectation* is for the normal volatility of a 22-year old.

Big Tuna

2:21

1st in steals and last in saves in 12 tm OPS league. Trade Cain and Kingham or Heaney for Puig and Morrow?

Paul Sporer

2:21

That works, do it with Kingham.

Juan Nightstand

2:21

Rank 'em ROS...Musgrove, C.Smith, Soroka, C.Gonzalez, J.Gray, J.Castillo, Duffy. Thx
