Yes

Bruce

Drop Bundy for which one, if any, of the following on waivers: Cahill, Gibson, Godley, MGonzales,Guerra, Kuhl, Musgrove, Taillon, Teheran. ERA, Wins, k/9. Lots of names which is why you're the man.

Paul Sporer

2:23

None of em

Jay

2:23

Bregman or albies for the rest of the year?

Paul Sporer

2:24

Albies

Dan

2:24

Hope for Goldy? His Hard% and FB% are aligned with career numbers. HR/FB rate 14.5% (21% career). Those K's man. His O-swing% is way up. Is it just approach?

Paul Sporer

2:25

Ya the fact that he's decimating lefties and still hitting on the road also hearten me. He's not toast

Scruffy-Looking Nerf Hurler

2:26

Getting asked Jose Ramirez and MadBum for Trout in a keep forever points dynasty. JRam and Trout are essentially putting up the same total points so I’m tossing in MadBum for *free* to this guy. What level of SP could I ask for with Trout? Stras? Castillo? Carrasco? Thanks!!

Paul Sporer

2:26

If he came at you w/those 2 for Trout, he's not throwing back Stras or Carrasco. Castillo isn't out of bounds to ask

Kyle

Blake Swihart is catcher eligible. Is he a guy to pounce on quick. Currently playing no catcher as the roster spot is more valuable with an extra pitcher then playing a black hole and killing the average. H2H league.

Paul Sporer

2:28

I largely disagree w/the idea that an open spot is better, even in H2H, espec. bc Cs just don't play enough to actually kill the avg. That said, Swihart is doing NOTHING at the dish so I'm not sure you'd see ANY difference. I keep visiting profile page like every other day hoping for a reason to pick him up, but always come away emptyhanded

Joe

2:28

Dominguez or Neris ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:29

Seranthony

2:30

2:31

Can we collectively stop answering questions with “Its close I’ll take the hitter over the pitcher” Paul we know that already but we need pitchers on our rosters! Sometimes we have to risk a bat to gain an arm!

Paul Sporer

2:31

Then include context

Chicago Cardinal

2:31

McHugh, Bradley or Betances in 5x5 roto?

Paul Sporer

2:31

Bradley

Cory

2:31

Paul, pick up Nimmo, drop Grichuk in a keeper league. Very different players but I think Grichuk's path to playing time is cloudy at best.

Paul Sporer

2:32

Ya I'm definitely down for this. Just out on Grichuk right now

Sandy Ravage

2:32

Roto mixedleague 10 team keeper league: My offense is STOUT, but I need saves. I have Votto and Rizzo, is it over the top for me to ask a team with 4 closers to ask for 2 closers for one of Votto/Rizzo? Is that smart for me, or should I be patient and play waivers?

Paul Sporer

2:32

You can ask for 2, yes. The deal might morph from there, but if you only get 1, make sure it's the best one for sure

Scooby

2:32

I've read several experts predict that Jon Gray has good underlying stats and is a buy low. Are you on that train?

Paul Sporer

2:36

Ya everything is there in the component numbers, but a .376 BABIP is yielding a 10.7 H/9 and doing a lot of damage. The problem is that he plays in a park that isn't going to curb hits and so the correction might never come. But ya, some are cutting him and many others are dealing him cheap so I'm down to buy low on Gray

Kershugh

2:36

Ready to offer Kershaw + Kela for Syndergaard in 12-team Roto. Isn't Thor's health >> Kershaw's health, so this is a win?

Paul Sporer

2:36

No pitcher is two >s more healthy than another. They're all just healthy until they aren't and it's not like Thor has some sparkling health record. That saaaiiiddd, I'm good with this deal

Cory

2:36

Pick up Stripling, drop Stratton?

Paul Sporer

2:36

100000%. How is Stripling available?

Noah

2:37

I don't know if you can answer, but it is a question on projections. The BAT seems to be quite aggressive. This is ancedotal. Any reason why? Zips and Steamer are usually closer together but the Bat is a clear outlier. Look at Severinos projections for example for ERA: 3.32 for Steamer, 3.03 for Zips, and 2.82 for the Bat. Just seems really aggresive.

Paul Sporer

2:38

Maybe it's just that other systems are painfully conservative making The BAT stand out by comparison. Derek puts a lot into the system and instead of just coming in low all the time, the system isn't afraid to put some big numbers out there if the skills merit it.

2:38

Are you still hanging on to Deshields in 10-teamers?

Paul Sporer

2:39

Unless my steals are on lock, yes. It's still just 175 PA and while he's been rough, we've at least got 10 SB in a month-plus (about a 45 SB pace)

Frank

2:39

Is Staton for Scherzer fair in a keeper league?

Paul Sporer

2:39

Yes, star for star
