Paul Sporer

3:39

Big fan, he's got the arsenal to be really successful. I wanna see him pare it down to his best pitches and hopefully take off

Branch

3:40

Why can't I Quitana?

Paul Sporer

3:40

Because you know he's pretty good

5.5Hole

3:40

Do you have concerns about McCullers' workload? Is he due for a "DL" stint?

Paul Sporer

3:41

I don't think we even need to put quotes around it, he gets hurt all the time

Ks and Homers

3:41

Luis Castillo, Nick Pivetta, and Domingo German ... are all basically the same player, right? High SwStr%s and high likelihood of getting clobbered. Right now I'm riding out the first two with the third freely available (roto redraft w/QS). Am I doing this wrong?

Paul Sporer

3:43

Ehhh, sorta. Pivetta's been beat up by Washington twice doing a ton of the damage. But ya I get the general point. I'd still favor Pivetta most and then Castillo. Not sure how many innings German gets

Vegan Man!

Who do you like more in a 12 team standard H2H - Jose Martinez or Belt? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

3:43

Belt

Rocco

3:44

My SPs are Sale, Snell, Price, Clevinger, Flaherty. I feel great about 1 and 2 pitchers, but do you think I'm good for the 3rd, 4th, 5th pitchers?

Paul Sporer

3:44

That's a solid rotation. Stay diligent in case anything pops down the stretch, but I feel good about that group

Rocco

3:48

Trying to upgrade to win in 2018 -- what can I reasonably ask for Juan Soto in a keeper league? A top 30, 40, 50 player?

Paul Sporer

3:48

I'd assume a mint

Bill

3:49

Trea Turner And Shane Bieber for Jose Ramirez. H2H Category dynasty league. Who wins?

Paul Sporer

3:50

That's not the right way to view trades, especially at this point in the year. Grading trades at face value is worthless information. It's all about whether or not you're helping your team more by making the deal. That seems like a fair deal that would help both teams

Re Ohtani

3:50

His pitcher rank is on the BOARD, hitter is not. BOth 70 grades

Paul Sporer

3:50

Oh ok. I don't run the board so I'm not entirely sure on that, sorry

Markus

3:51

What do you think, Aguilar or Muncy ROS? Is either a top 30 player?

Paul Sporer

3:52

I'm leaning Muncy with the positional flexibility and similar power-based profile

Randy Burgess

3:52

Do you think Teoscar Hernandez has reached his ceiling?

Paul Sporer

3:53

I wouldn't say so yet. I think he can replicate Domingo's 2017 as a peak season

Guest

3:53

What are you expecting from Daniel Murphy 2nd half? I may have a buy low opportunity and am slightly intrigued...

Paul Sporer

3:54

He's showing some life. I definitely think if he's healthy, he's going to rake so I like the idea of buying low

Steve

3:55

Do you see Votto's power returning in the second half?

Paul Sporer

3:55

I do, yes

Jay

3:55

Ok to drop dds for kiermaier? I need some kind of steals

Paul Sporer

3:56

Kinda similar profiles so it's a personal preference. I still dig DD's speed

Kelvin

3:56

I traded Godley + j.Gray for Dozier - how'd I do? Dozier still a good buy-low?

Paul Sporer

3:56

I like it, good buy low

Photography Raptor

3:56

Would you rather have had the career of Paul Lo Duca or Paul Byrd

Paul Sporer

3:57

That's a good one. I played Catcher as a kid so I'm partial to that, but then I became such a pitching fanatic and so I think I lean to Byrd's carer

Desperate, Confused Marlins Fan

3:57

Is Travis Shaw buy low? all his numbers look good. just looks like a BABIP issue.

Paul Sporer

3:58

Ya I really like him rest of season

Dungeon Master

3:58

PAUL! I am contending in a dynasty league 5x5 w/ QS instead of W, do I trade Justus Sheffield for Tyler Anderson or hope Sheff contributes this year?

Paul Sporer

3:59

I don't see Sheff contributing any major IP so I like this. I'm an Anderson fan. I don't think you have to sit EVERY time at home, either

Quadrangular

4:00

starting Godley against ATL?

Paul Sporer

4:00

Ya I think if he's worth rostering, he's worth starting

4:01

OK yall, I gotta roll early on this one. Going to do a mega chat Wednesday for the All-Star break. Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (psporer24), and Snapchat (psporer)! Talk to y'all next week. (Pod up later, btw)
