Big Pederson fan so I *want* him to be a stud, but he's a platoon guy in a hot streak. Ride the hot hand, but he's not a full time solution in a 10 teamer

Calvin

12:32

Is the only reason a bad team beats a good team due to randomness or can good teams sometimes get outplayed?

Paul Sporer

12:32

Of course good teams get outplayed by worse ones on a given day. They're all major leaguers after all.

Ken

12:32

Osuna just hit waivers. Worth scooping in 12-teamers?

Paul Sporer

12:33

Meh... not really. I don't see him pitching much the rest of this year

Tex

12:33

Any chance Forrest Whitley is up & helping the Stros’ in the 2018 playoff push? Either way, will he be in the starting rotation in 2019?

Paul Sporer

12:33

Definitely a chance as injuries could open a spot and he's ramping up after his suspension

TheeHen4

12:34

Dynasty points league: Walker Buehler for James Paxton?

Paul Sporer

12:34

Getting Buehler? Works for me

Chatty McChatterface

12:34

So Maikel Franco is completely droppable in all formats including dynasty now right? Sure seems like the Phillies like him as much as the public likes IHOB...

Paul Sporer

12:36

I'm fine dropping, but he hasn't been ABYSMAL. He's like a 10-game hot streak from looking like a plus bat. I'm having a hard time quitting him outright

MarinerDan

12:36

Can't the Giants find a permanent spot for Alen Hanson?

Paul Sporer

12:37

You'd think they would really try to get him in there more. If he keeps performing, his PT will come

Young guns

12:37

I’ve acquired Sixto Sanchez & Forrest Whitley in a recent dynasty deal. Any chance both are up as soon as 2019? I know Sixto is recently slowed by elbow soreness

Paul Sporer

12:38

Would be surprised if Whitley wasn't up in '19. Sanchez could be more 2020, but he can accelerate that with his performance

Fogle

12:38

Jake Lamb still gonna get to 25 homers with a decent OBP?

Paul Sporer

12:38

Yep

David B.

12:38

Heaney worth running with ROS even with Fulmer, Godley, Taillon, Musgrove on FA?

Paul Sporer

12:39

I like Heaney a lot, but I think I'd rather have Taillon. I know I have Heaney one spot over Taillon, but I was probably too aggressive on Heaney's rank

Vegan Man!

12:39

Semien and Kelvin Herrera or Andrus in a 12 team roto? Worried Herrera won't be a closer in a month... Thanks!

Paul Sporer

12:40

Ya that's a fair concern (though he could also get dealt somewhere to close and then he's closing on a better team)... think I'd rather have the duo despite the Herrera concerns

Jed

12:40

Is a 12 team, 10 keeper league deep enough to keep a reliever like Josh Hader?

Paul Sporer

12:41

Yes, he'd be 38th in Ks if you slotted him among the qualified SPs

Dan

12:41

Still have really high hopes for Ottavino soon? Lofty ranking in Coors. Hope he's back soon

Paul Sporer

12:43

Ya he'll be back soon and I'm not worried about Coors w/him. He's so good

ryan h

12:43

Just traded teoscar hernandez for andrus. In need of some speed. Solid deal?

Paul Sporer

12:44

I'm cool w/that. Love Teoscar, but speed isn't going to be his thing. He could accumulate 10-12 SBs if they keep letting him run, but he's 3-for-6 so far

Brad

12:44

Do you prefer Gregory Polanco or Conforto in a keep forever?

Paul Sporer

12:44

Polanco by a hair

John

12:45

Who ya got ROS? Goldy or judge?

Paul Sporer

12:45

Judge, but the gap isn't big at all

Karl

12:45

What to do with Luis Castillo and Zack Godley in a 12 team roto? Trade or drop?

Paul Sporer

12:45

Not sure you're garnerning much in trade, tbh, but I'd entertain it before cutting them for sure.

MarinerDan

12:45

Did you see anything promising in Godley's last start at Coors that gives you hope he can turn it around and post a strong second half?

Paul Sporer

12:46

Total speculative thought was that Coors takes some break from your curves and it was just the right amount to make his curve competitive again. I think right now he's just spiking it too often and batters lay off instantly. Maybe the Coors environment was just right to make it nasty again

SurfNdestroy

12:46

Tyler Chatwood walks to many people but should he be owned in NL only?

Paul Sporer

12:47

Ya, by somebody else so their WHIP is tanked. I'd rather not have him on. A high-3.00s ERA and 8.0 K/9 isn't worth the brutalization of my WHIP

Mike

12:47

Matt Davidson, 2-24 with 14 Ks since coming back from injury. Did he come back too early or just a poorly timed slump?

Paul Sporer

12:48

Orrr just kinda the ebbs and flows of who he is
