I can take a deeper look, but I think he's overpraised if anything. Mediocre K-BB with a terrible HR issue. A better Josh Tomlin

Paul you are my guiding light, and I need some confirmation that I didn't get hosed. Gave Albies, got Severino in a 12-team keep forever H2H points. Did I sell high on a hype beast?

Paul Sporer

3:01

You did well! Got a lockdown ace for Albies!

Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe

3:01

Traded Sean Newcomb for Justin Turner last week (though I have Jose Ramirez and Freddie Freeman 3B eligible). Swapped Turner with Zach Britton for Zack Greinke in a W/L/QS league. Tell me how good I should feel (because I feel good).

Paul Sporer

3:02

So Newk & Britton for Greinke. It's nice, I like it

Missed your hot take mailbag but here mine goes – paying for saves will be the new don’t pay for saves. With starters going fewer innings the ratios and Ks the elite guys give you make them more valuable, and chasing the ‘next closer’ and grabbing late round guys can blow your ERA and leave you holding the bag.

Paul Sporer

3:04

Ya I think we've been seeing more of a shift for many who are willing to grab the stud guys, but you'll still have the split camps on it. I tend to lean toward wanting an established stud bc the assets and headache of chasing saves is never fully accounted for when preaching this strategy. "Just get saves off the wire!" as if that doesn't cost hella FAAB as everyone else chases them, too

Christian Villanueva gonna remains 10-team relevant ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:04

Fringe there. I buy the power, but .245/30 HR isn't a hard find in 10 tm

Kevin

3:04

Greg Bird has been batting 3rd recently so it seems like he's got Boone's vote of confidence. Does he have yours?

Paul Sporer

3:05

Until he gets hurt again, ya. Just traded for him this past weekend and then broke my ankle while sleeping

Dr. Pelotas

3:06

Are you seeing signs of hope in Luke Weaver? Do you consider him or Flaherty the more desirable Cards SP ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:07

I think Weaver *can* get down toward his 3.72 FIP, but his current performance is well within the range of outcomes. He felt a little overhyped this draft season, but I was also the guy going off on Luis Castillo's excellence so I'll chill on trying to take Ws lol

Larkey

3:07

Byron Buxton belongs on waivers in 10-team, correct?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Yes

Lours

3:07

Franmil Reyes a 10-team bat or too shallow?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Too shallow and you already missed the 3 HR surge

Evan

3:08

Bellinger and Clevinger for Stanton?

Paul Sporer

3:08

Fair deal

Trevor

3:08

Is Manaea broken?

Paul Sporer

3:09

The dreams of the outsized expectations after his April are broken. I would take 200 IP of 3.60 ERA allll day from Manaea.

seth

3:09

Kershaw for Goldy?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Gimme Goldy

Dflah

3:10

Re: Goldy. You buying low? Or do we need to see his zone tighten up? His owner is in sell mode this year.

Paul Sporer

3:10

It's really more of a buy bc no one is really selling him that low. Or least not the deals I've seen. But yes, buy Goldy

Who

3:10

miss your Kyle Gibson profile pic?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Go to sleep, Justin

3:10

Give me a Hanley Ramirez take please

Paul Sporer

3:10

He'll get scooped somewhere

Linus

3:11

Joey Votto just "joey Vottoing" or is there reason for concern?

Paul Sporer

3:11

He's a stud

Kakie Bryan

3:11

Who's more droppable after a bad week: Drake or JR Smith?

Paul Sporer

3:12

Hiding a baby worse than forgetting a score. Y'all know I love Drake, but huuuuugggeee L for him. Pusha went in

Guest

3:12

Joey Gallo still a top-10 1B for you in OBP leagues?

Paul Sporer

3:12

Was he ever?

Me, me, PICK ME!

3:12

Seriously, can we stop with the whole "if you remove XXX's 2 bad starts, he's really much better" analysis. It's dumb. Every single pitcher is a lot better if you remove their worst performances.

Paul Sporer

3:14

Depends how it's being used. Yes, everyone has duds and you can't remove them and say the guy is this pitcher from the 8 games, but understanding the makeup of a game log is very important to me. I want the guy dominating 5 out of 6 and then getting trounced in the 6th as opposed to the guy meandering along with 5-6 IP of 3-5 ER every time

Maverick

Talk to me Goose. The year of the Goose Tigers win World Series.

How aggressive of a buy low is Darvish? Top 30ish-40ish hitter?
