Definitely plausible

Ted

Who would you rather buy if you’re pushing in the second half, Strasburg or Folty? Are you concerned by either player’s injury this year?

Paul Sporer

3:26

I'd go for Strasburg. Definitely worried about health on both, but Stras's upside is so high

Mortimer Smith

3:26

Start Grandal or Sal Perez tonight?

Paul Sporer

3:26

Grandal

Asking for a friend

3:26

Why isn't Ohtani the batter ranked on THE BOARD? His hitter profile is a 70 overall grade and would be tops. Is that to say he really is the #1 hitting prospect if hits full time ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:26

Is he still a rookie?

154 PA

yojiveself

3:27

Ok to drop Giles? seems unlikely he regains the role

Paul Sporer

3:27

Yes, that's fine

Jordan

3:27

How do you like Jimmy Nelson coming back from a shoulder injury? Been stashing him all year in a keeper league, trade fodder?

Paul Sporer

3:29

I have very low expectations for this season bc of the injury

Bill

3:29

Why isn't Castellanos talked about more as a trade target? Rebuilding team in Detroit. Could probably get a good return and beef up their farm system right?

Paul Sporer

3:29

I think bc they're likely to keep him

3:30

Kevin Pillar has gone from having hot streaks to hot individual games. Okay to drop in a 16-team league?

Paul Sporer

3:31

More than OK with that, yes

Moonlight Graham

3:31

Nimmo for Porcello? Who wins (assuming each team addressed its needs). Just in terms of value.

Paul Sporer

3:31

It's a fair deal, no decisive winner when it matches needs

My NL-only keep9 league has gone to war over acquiring FAAB for the possibility of Machado coming over. I have a tenuous lead on first place and have used my FAAB all year, while many have hoarded. I just sold $19 of my remaining $61 for Wilmer Flores to someone to give them the FAAB lead, then immediately went and used the last of it plus Broxton to get Kingham and Pederson and give a different guy the lead. I don't really have a question, other than that this was fun as hell and I highly recommend it to any NL-only owners who aren't in position for a splashy move on waivers and need to build depth.

Paul Sporer

3:32

That is pretty fun maneuvering. Now let's laugh when he stays in the AL

Oddball Herrera

3:34

Excited/encouraged by Odor's past month, or is this a cosmic trick to get us to buy back in?

Paul Sporer

3:36

It's a glimmer of hope. I'm not invested this year, but he's done enough in his career to be encouraged

JD Martin

3:36

is it weird to prefer Lindor over Correa in an OPS dynasty? I don't see any major differentiator apart from Lindor's speed

Paul Sporer

3:36

Not at all. I can't see any reason to definitely say one is over the other so it's preference

Pine Needles

3:36

Buy high on Matt Carpenter?

Paul Sporer

3:37

Discussed on the pod coming out today and yes, I'm open to that. He looks healthy and he's hitting brilliantly. I was wrong on him this year. I was just v worried about the shoulder

Bill

3:37

Trevor Cahill is still an interesting pickup right?

Paul Sporer

3:37

For sure, I love healthy Cahill

tacopocket

3:37

no chance you start shark tomorrow, right?

Paul Sporer

3:38

Ehhh, probably not. I was pretty pessimistic on him in the earlier Q about him

Pauly

3:38

Are we seeing the beginning of Dozier's insane second half hot streak?

Paul Sporer

3:38

:fingers crossed:

Pauly

3:38

Muncy has to slow down, right? The lack of 2Bs is concerning.

Paul Sporer

3:38

Well for sure, but I still think he'll be good in the 2H

John

3:38

Bieber, Rodon, or Cahill ros al only roto

Paul Sporer

3:38

https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/july-starting-pitcher-rankings/

Biebs, Cahill, Rodon... forgot Cahill prob isn't ranked in those bc of his injury

Pine Needles

3:38

Juan Soto or Charlie Blackmon ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:39

Blackmon

Jeff

3:39

Thoughts on Dereck Rodriguez in a 20 team keeper league?
