I kinda have a standing rule to peace out on SPs in year 1 of a huge deal so I'm not really messing with Darvish this year. I'd want to pay lower than that

Yankz

Who's the best speculative closer to target not named Kyle Barraclough?

Paul Sporer

3:15

Seranthony Dominguez

3:15

Dee Gordon or Joey Gallo in OBP/doubles?

Paul Sporer

3:16

Dee's better in both categories

James

3:16

Does Kingery need to be sent down to get his head on straight? He's getting AB's but just not looking good.

Paul Sporer

3:16

Ya maybe just a 2-week confidence booster

Jobu

12 tm Roto league. I have Carlos Santana, Kyle Seager, and Jeimer Candelario for two spots. At some point I'll need to cut one to add a pitcher. Who do I move on from?

Paul Sporer

3:17

Wow, I think I might go Candy over Seager tbh

Nick

3:17

What do you think of Charlie Morton, Marco Gonzales, and Marcelo Ozuna for Jose Martinez, Scott Kingery, and Fernando Tatis Jr? It’s a dynasty league (6 keepers) with 12 teams & I probably miss the playoffs.

Paul Sporer

3:18

I can get behind that

OddBall Herrera

3:18

I'm convinced that Maximilius Von Kepler is just some stolen bases and HR/FB regression away from stardom. Am I crazy on this and if so why

Paul Sporer

3:20

In fairness, a lot of guys are SBs away from stardom but that doesn't mean they're coming. That said, I understand the excitement with Kep. Strong profile and I could definitely see a summer HR binge

Matt

Regarding removing the bad performance: Remove Ohtani's 3 ER /2 IP when he got the blister, and his ERA goes from 3.18 to 2.70. That's valuable info.

Paul Sporer

3:21

Exactly. As with any numbers, it's about how it's used. It can be used as carelessly as ppl using BABIP is a luck-o-meter, but it can also prove valuable to understand how they arrived at an ERA

3:21

I'm always a bit confused when people say "% of FAAB%...do you interpret that as % of starting budget or % of your current budget? I presume starting budget but it's never clear to me...

Paul Sporer

3:21

I'm actually with you on that, tbh. It's very difficult and I have a really hard time giving FAAB numbers bc it's sooooooo context dependent

Matt

3:22

How would you rank Ozuna, Cruz and Cain?

Paul Sporer

3:23

Reverse order

3:23

Does Fulmer suck? I think he sucks...but I'm not sure. Yeah, he sucks.

Paul Sporer

3:23

Poor Carson Fulmer

Rick

3:23

Mitch Moreland taking the next step this year or small sample size-itis?

Paul Sporer

3:24

Meh. He has a hot run every year. Same guy

horoxix

3:25

hey Paul, what do you think the Giants need to do to overcome being a .500ish team?

Paul Sporer

3:25

Get healthy. Williamson is back and Bumgarner is almost back. Those will help for sure

Rocco

3:26

Mark Reynolds has been raking -- will this continue?

Paul Sporer

3:27

See the Moreland answer. Just a hot run, he's the same guy

3:29

OK y'all, I gotta get going! Thanks so much for coming out. We'll get a marathon chat shortly after the SP update (working on those this weekend!)

Ted

3:29

12 team H2H mixed keeper, what to do with Shane Bieber?

Paul Sporer

3:29

Gotta move on right now. Plutko gets the next fifth start try and that's not even until June 12th

Oscar

3:29

Would you drop Garrett Richards or David Price for E. Rodriguez?

Paul Sporer

3:29

I wouldn't, no

3:29

Still believe enough in Willie Calhoun and Luis Gohara to keep both in a one-NA Y! league?

Paul Sporer

3:30

Yes, prefer Calhoun

(Yes, I usually answer a couple quickies after saying I'm about to leave...)

3:31

Anyway, nooowww we're done! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Snapchat (psporer), and Twitch (psporer24). I'll be streaming MLB The Show later and you can definitely come in and get your fantasy baseball questions answered in that chat (twitch.tv/psporer24) have a great weekend!
