Paul Sporer

If I needed the pitching this year for a run, yes

Ben

12:48

Utility Spot - Muncy over Gregory Polanco at this point? No specific need, 12 team H2H categories.

Paul Sporer

12:48

Ya, think you gotta go Muncy here

Chuck

12:48

Jace Fry didn't make your RP list, either. He's been good, especially the past few weeks.

Paul Sporer

12:49

Ya he's aight. Just couldn't get everyone and he doesn't really stand out for me. Left-handedness helps w/Holds for sure

Tortured Soul

12:49

Think Hector Rendon runs away with the gig? I need to

Paul Sporer

12:49

I don't think so, Tim

Kyle

12:49

12 team points league where I have Jordan Hicks, Jansen and Doolittle. I have an extra OF and was offered Shane Green, Bear Claw or Archie Bradley for Yelich. Any of those seem like a fair deal?

Paul Sporer

12:50

Nah, need a much better RP for Yelly

Moltar

12:50

Frankie Montas, just a streamer or a chance for more?

Paul Sporer

12:51

An intriguing streamer. I want to watch some of his work. Seems like he's eschewing Ks for control, but that much contact will catch up to him

Kev

12:51

Are you worried about CMart's latest two starts? Think his lat injury might be an issue ROS?

Paul Sporer

12:53

Little worried as he's walking the world, but I'm not going to panic over it just yet

Levin

12:53

Trade Carlos Martinez for Jose Berrios?

Paul Sporer

12:53

I'm OK with that. I still have CMart ranked higher, but this isn't much of a sell low if you're worried

Me, me, pick ME!

12:54

Likelihood of Bour to the Rockies? The only other contender that has a hole at 1B/DH is the Mariners and there aren't many great 1B/DH types available. I'll hold Bour regardless because I'm in an OBP league and he will continue to get pitched around relentlessly but drooling at the thought of him going to Coors for the 2nd half.

Paul Sporer

12:54

Man that'd be fun!

12:54

Paul, thanks for the chat as always. In my OF, I have Teoscar, Juan Soto, Trout, Wil Myers, Adam Eaton, and the Dentist (also Bellinger with dual eligibility). My pitching is above average, not great. Should I drop the Dentist for Barria? If I try to trade, I don't think DDS is going to get much of a return, if any.

Paul Sporer

12:54

I don't know how many teams, but if you don't think The Dentist's speed has value, I could see streaming that spot and starting that with Barria

Jay

12:54

I'm looking to trade for Pivetta in a 12 team 5x5 league with OBP. The SP options on waivers are very limited. Is C. Santana a reasonable offer?

Paul Sporer

12:55

Yes, it's definitely reasonable

Bernie Brewer

12:55

Which side? Hamels for Eaton? 14 team roto (OBP)

Paul Sporer

12:55

Eaton

MilwaukeeBeerjays

12:55

Will Brandon Crawford perform like a top 5 shortstop rest-of-season?

Paul Sporer

12:55

Nah, top 10 at best

Evan

12:56

Is Vlad worth holding in a keep-2 league? He would cost 26th round pick. Just not sure if I'm wasting one of three bench spots and a chance to win this season? I'm patient but trying to be realistic.

Paul Sporer

12:56

Yeesh, I can't really see keeping him in that situation, especially if we don't see him in '18

Adam

12:56

How wedded should I be to bats like Smoak and Hoskins in 9-team mixed OBP? I also have Votto on my roster significantly underperforming in the HR/RBI department, and I see guys like Muncy, Olson, and Joc on the wire enjoying power binges.

Paul Sporer

12:58

In 9 team, you can churn quite a bit, though I'm not sure those hot hands are any better. Olson is most intriguing and I might do that for Smoak, but Hoskins still has the best ROS outlook of this group

Evil Fantasy Baseball Oprah

12:58

Steven Wright is cruising for a bruising but I'm enjoying the ride. Will you tell me when to get off?

Paul Sporer

12:58

LOL, like anyone knows when the knuckleball massacre is coming!

Breezy

12:58

10tm H2H 6x6 (OPS, BAA) 3 keepers. what closer would you trade away to get a bat:

Kimbrel for Bregman or Ozuna
Treinen for Rendon or Carpenter

Also have Boxberger, Kela and Vazquez that I can't gauge the value of.

Paul Sporer

12:58

Treinen for Rendon for me

MilwaukeeBeerjays

12:59

Sean Newcomb, top 20 SP?

Paul Sporer

12:59

He hasn't even been top 20 to this point so I can't really see him as such going forward - https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/june-starting-pitcher-rankings/

Oyster Burns

12:59

Montas or Romero ros? Career?

Paul Sporer

1:00

Romero

Do you think there is any way we see J.Urias back pitching this year? Or will it simply be, get back on the mound, no restrictions kind of thing to be ready next year?

Paul Sporer

1:00

Not sure we see any sort of fantasy viability for Julio Urias
