It's time to talk some baseball!

2:43

Ohtani :(

Paul Sporer

2:43

It sucks. Grade 2 UCL sprain puts him to the DL :(

(T for Teoscar, naturally)

Paul Sporer

Yesss

Is it ok to think of Teoscar Hernandez as "Push" thanks to my obsession with the Pusha T album?

I put those out of order, my b

Is "The Dentist" droppable in a 12 team league?

Paul Sporer

2:44

Nah, he's AL Billy Hamilton right now so I'm holding onto the steals still

Anthony

2:44

Who's the pickup to fill in for Familia? Gsellman?

Paul Sporer

2:44

Ya we've got Robby G - https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/bullpen-report-june-8-2018/

Ohtani to the DL with a UCL sprain. Talk me off the cliff.

Paul Sporer

2:45

It's not the end of the world. We signed up for this volatility.

12 team OBP league (H2H): Lowrie for Cervelli? (assuming one team needs a 2B and has an extra catcher; and the other team needs a C and has an extra 2B to deal).

Paul Sporer

2:48

Ya I like that. I'm digging the new Cervelli

Is Steven Wright worth riding in an AL Only?

Paul Sporer

2:49

Normal knuckleball volatility, but it works for deep lgs

Give me some advice Paul. ESPN, H2H points league. We only have 3 DL spots and injuries are continuing to pile up. Currently have Kershaw, Archer and Pollock on the DL...to go along with Myers, Cespedes and DeJong also on the DL on my bench. We're only allowed 2 pick ups per week. Should I continue to stream pitchers, trying to get ones that get me two starts, or should I consider getting some bench bats? Only allowed to roster 5 SPs.

Paul Sporer

2:51

If your offense is holding up with those extra DL guys, then hang on, but if you gotta move on, start with DeJong and then go Myers

Max Kepler Truther

2:51

The breakout is coming...

Paul Sporer

2:52

Keeping an eye on him

Paul, thoughts on who should get a weekly start next week (pick 2): C. Stratton (@MIA, @LAD), W. Buehler (vs. SF), K. Gausman (vs. MIA), R. Stripling (vs. SF), or S. Wright (@BAL, maybe @SEA)

Paul Sporer

2:52

Strip and Buehler

need saves

2:52

In an AL-only league, who would you rather have ROS for saves - Herrera or Alvarado?

Kelvin

2:52

you holding Ohtani in 12 team NFBC? They're saying 3 weeks before he even gets evaluated again. Feels like it could easily be August before he pitches again.

Paul Sporer

2:53

Ya, I'm trying to ride it out at least a week until we get some clarity

John

5x5 QS league, you starting Tanaka and Weaver?

Paul Sporer

Check out my new SP rankings! https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/june-starting-pitcher-rankings/

Allen

2:54

Start Greinke tonight?

Paul Sporer

2:55

Sure (he's in Coors for those unaware)

Stuart

Part of me is still worried that Scooter is going to fall way back down to earth. With the exception of some expected regression, what’s your outlook on him in a keeer league?

Paul Sporer

2:56

Going on 750 PA of awesomeness, I think he continues to torch righties and show nice pop

OddBall Herrera

2:56

Candelario has been a bit un-celebrated so far, probably because of the depth at 3B. You buying what this guy has done so far and relevance in 12 teamers? Everything in his peripherals seems credible...

Paul Sporer

2:57

Love watching Candy. He's rosterable in 12-team

Jake Junis Priest

2:57

How long do I hold Hanley in my Only OBP league? He was so good for a minute, but it's a 3 man bench...

Paul Sporer

2:57

You can cut him at any moment you need that spot

Kevin

2:58

Are the Giants going to even try giving Alen Hanson playing time, or should I drop him?
