Paul Sporer

2:00

It's Friday afternoon, time to talk some baseball!!

2:02

Kyle Tucker or Eloy Jimenez -- better production (2018 only)??

Paul Sporer

2:03

I'll go Tucker. He's got the speed aspect and CWS might just leave Eloy down until a Sept. call up

BigTuna

2:03

How worried are you about Springer? 4 for his last 54

Paul Sporer

2:03

0%?

David's Peralta

2:03

What is going on with Tommy Pham? Are we still fans?

Paul Sporer

2:04

Covered him here - https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/the-hail-mary-hitters-ss-3b-of/ -- he's dealing with a mechanical issue

2:04

Sounds like Acuna will be 5/6 in the order... Better for his value?

Paul Sporer

2:05

Batting 2nd was definitely better, but this isn't necessarily bad. And if he dominates, he'll likely move back up

Zock Jr.

2:05

Got Muncy for my Yadi+Lucchesi in a 16-team rebuilding league. How'd I do?

Paul Sporer

2:07

I'm good with that deal. Wonder if it might be worth flipping Muncy for a younger player

Fredrick

2:07

My real life team is bad. my fantasy team is bad. can this season be over already?

Paul Sporer

2:07

Aw man, I've been there. Buuut you could play some DFS or maybe cop a PS4 and play some MLB The Show to get your baseball fill. But let's not wish the season over sooner than it will be already

2:07

Paul, thanks as always for the chat. For my weekly lineup, please pick three: V. Velasquez (@PIT), R. Stripling (@LAA), K. Gausman (@MIN), C. Stratton (@COL, vStL), or L. Castillo (v.CWS, @CHC)

Paul Sporer

2:08

Strip, VV, and then I'll go Castillo over Gaus. No chance on Stratton at COL

Tiny Tim

2:10

Is my Mikolas for his Kyle Seager a fair trade? Dynasty points league.

Paul Sporer

2:10

Ya for sure

Jake

2:10

We need more Charlotte on the podcasts! She’s the real star

Paul Sporer

2:10

Verrryyy true.

A video pod of Char. Imagine her with some little headphones on lol

2:10

Any chance Jose Abreu is dealt to a contender this year?

Paul Sporer

2:11

Certainly possible. He's been rumored in deals for a couple years now. Who among the contenders needs a 1B?

Shuck Bowalter

2:11

Any chance we see Bo Bichette this year?

Paul Sporer

2:11

Probably not

JN14

2:11

How should we value Jesus Aguilar going forward?

Paul Sporer

2:12

As a top 12ish 1B

Jake

2:12

but really why is the Astros bullpen so unsettled with all their quality arms. Is this a trend we should expect, moving away from a set closer

Paul Sporer

2:12

Definitely a growing trend and it makes a lot of sense for real life, but makes save chasing even more nauseating in fantasy

Franky

2:12

Austin Riley up this year or naw? Braves dealing for Machado or Moose?

Paul Sporer

2:13

Riley could be part of a deal and then come up for his new team. Not sure he comes up with ATL barring a major run, though

Matt S

2:13

More saves ROS: Rondon or Dominguez?

Paul Sporer

2:13

Seranthony

Shave your mustache

2:13

Winker over Conforto ROS? Avg and OBP league..

BigTuna

2:14

PitcherList had a blurb that Jesse Winkler's launch angle would lead to more HRs. He's started to hit some. Would you be adding in 12 tm OPS leagues?

Paul Sporer

2:15

I'm good with that move and open to considering him in 12 tm. I've been fading Conforto all year bc of the shoulder, though that was more of a draft season thing.

BigTuna

2:15

Jackie Bradley seems to have found his swing a bit. How would you rate him amongst Gorkys, Parra and the Dentist?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Ahead of all of em unless you need The Dentist's speed (Deshields)

2:15

Any chance Jose Abreu is dealt to a contender this year? If so, any guesses as to who?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Don't repeat questions, be patient... there's a lengthy queue
