Paul Sporer

2:40

In 12s I'm trying to keep him reserved, but I can't say he's a hold in 10 teamers right now

Kevin

2:40

Are you taking away anything from that Buehler hiccup yesterday, or was skipping a rehab session an error?

Paul Sporer

2:40

Nah, not really taking anything from it

Two Quesion Man

2:40

Can Eflin keep up his overall numbers?

Paul Sporer

2:42

I wouldn't project him for a 3.02 ERA rest of year, but he's definitely different and markedly better than previous iterations we've seen. Big velo spike, more sliders, more changeups. I buy Eflin as a mixed league play for sure

Bart

2:42

Some guy in my league keeps offering me deals for Harper. Is there anyway in this world you would trade Harper for Bellinger and LaGrom?

Paul Sporer

2:42

Belly and deGrom? That's certainly plausible

Kyle

2:43

Rocking the Muncy and Nimmo train, should I be aiming to sell high?

Paul Sporer

2:44

If you can, yes. Both have made believable improvements, but I'd gladly sell high on either

Gavin

2:46

How about the other Peralta....is Freddy worth keeping ROS or try to sell high?

Paul Sporer

2:47

Always open to selling high if it improves your team. It's just a matter of if you're really selling high. Most fantasy owners won't be fooled into overpaying for a flavor of the month, but you gotta explore your trade market. I dig Peralta and think he's rosterable in all formats at least as a streamer that you keep on reserve

Connor

2:48

Burrows, Faedo, or Manning

Paul Sporer

2:48

Tigers future Hall of Famers :)

Luck Dragons

2:48

What do you think about ESPN's player rater as a measure for someone's fantasy success?

Paul Sporer

2:49

I use it as a shorthand quite often

Juan

2:49

Would you trade Juan Soto for Max Scherzer in a dynasty league?

Paul Sporer

2:49

If I'm contending this year and need pitching, absolutely

Mike

2:49

is Schoop this bad? Hold on in 10 team mixed?

Paul Sporer

2:50

Covered here - https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/the-hail-mary-hitters-c-1b-2b/ --- likely still not 100%

Rocco

2:52

Whats the probability that Dozier turns it around this year?

Paul Sporer

2:52

I'm trying not to just bank on it bc he's had elite 2Hs before, but I have a hard time not thinking he'll surge in the summer. I'm buying

Lovely Rita

2:53

Would you start Rich Hill tonight at home against the Rockies?

Paul Sporer

2:54

No, Colorado is awesome v. L

Billy Bathhouse

2:54

Drop one of Familia/Giles/Britton for Dan Winkler in a SV+HLDs league?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Giles

brian

2:54

madbum, think he's on his way back? have you seen anything good or bad in his starts so far?

Paul Sporer

2:55

Def looking like MadBum in his last 2 and boosting my confidence in him

Goods

2:55

Any reason to roster Jung Ho Kang in 12-team mixed, points league?

Paul Sporer

2:56

Nah, he was DL'd in the minors. Cut him while we wait for him to get right and near a call up

808

2:57

ya starting EROD tonight at NYY?

Paul Sporer

3:01

No league context, but I'm gonna lean no if it's a shallower lg

Matt

3:01

Similar to the player-rater question - Is it fair to quickly sort FG leaderboards on wRC+ as a measurement of fantasy value?

Paul Sporer

3:01

Ehhh, it gives you an idea on hitting, but doesn't account for speed or R/RBI context

Kyle

3:02

Is Anthony Rendon one of the hitters that isn't flashy enough to get his perceived value to match is actual value?

Paul Sporer

3:02

Yes, he's just boringly solid. Maybe a little better version of Kyle Seager?

3:03

Can you put Kyle Tucker in perspective? Let's say Vlad Jr, Eloy, Brendan Rodgers and a healthy Senzel all were called up today - where does Tucker fall within that group?

Paul Sporer

3:06

Behind only Vlad for me

WIN

3:06

Would you start Pivetta tonight vs Washington?

Paul Sporer

3:06

yes

thatdude

3:06

Drop Castillo for Lugo or Kingham?
