Matchup alone can't push Gomber over Holland for me

Peter

12:53

5x5 roto with 9 hitters and 7 pitchers - Keep 5 for next year out of: Scherzer, tanton, Arenado, Freeman, Acuna, Baez, Kluber and Segura. I am leaning the first 5. About right?

Paul Sporer

12:53

Ya I think you'll agonize over the Acuna/Baez debate, but the first four are locked in for sure

Big Tuna

12:53

Renfroe crushing lately. Are you adding in 12 tm OPS and how confident are you ROS?

Paul Sporer

12:54

I'm not super-confident, but I'm down to add and see where it goes. Huge power and locked in right now

yojiveself

12:55

does McCullers return to a spot in the rotation in September?

Paul Sporer

12:55

Ya I'd imagine so, but exactly when is the tough part.

yojiveself

12:56

trust Pivetta at home vs Boston next week? 10 team H2H and I could use a solid SP w/ 2 starts

Paul Sporer

12:56

Terrifying but it sounds like you have to take the gamble

Big Tuna

12:57

Drop Blake Parker for Scott Alexander if SV are nice but ratios and K are better?

Paul Sporer

12:57

I'd stick with Parker, I know he's been bumpy of late, but his Ks and ratios have been better season-long

hscer

12:57

pfft, he's just your boss lol

Greg

Price , Anibal or Hill ROS?

Paul Sporer

12:59

Hill, but I have him and Price right by each other. I like what Anibal's been doing, but he got hurt yesterday and had to leave. SP ranks: https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/august-starting-pitcher-rankings/

So is it a closing committee in Twinke Kingdom? Who's the best bet for ros and also 2019?

Paul Sporer

1:00

I could see Reed getting a shot bc they paid him, but I'm putting my chips on Trevor May, espec. bc he'll be cheaper in FAAB this weekend

Bl28

Do you start Snell @ Toronto and Gray vs LAD at home

Paul Sporer

1:00

Yes on both

baseballguy

keep holding eloy in a 12 team points league? does he get the callup soon?

Paul Sporer

1:01

Not sure if the call up is coming, always hard to tell, but hang on as long as you can

Matt

1:02

Currently running 3rd in a 20-team 5x5 league. Top 6 make playoffs but my staff has been crushed recently with injuries to Carlos Martinez and Alex Wood. What would your streaming SP approach be in a deep league like this? Target specific guys, play matchups, other? Any names you wanna drop?

Paul Sporer

1:03

The streaming landscape has been a total nightmare, but I think you'll have to play the matchups. I think Jeff and I will be doing daily spot starter pieces starting in Sept.

baseballguy

1:03

please rank these SP ROS in a H2H points league: castillo, j. gray, cahill, pivetta, rodon, wood, musgrove (RP eligible), glasnow (RP eligible).

Keep an eye out for JT Chargois on the Dodgers - he might be a sneaky sleeper.

Paul Sporer

1:03

Agreed, mentioned him on the pod when we talked Jansen's heart situation.

Bert

1:04

Severino too much to give for Soto? 10 team mixed 10 keepers.

Paul Sporer

1:04

No, that's a fair deal. Stud for stud.

John B

1:04

Trade Stripling or A Wood for Gregory Polanco?

Paul Sporer

1:04

Sure, I'd go Wood

Chicken Sandwich

1:05

FYI - Lance Lynn might suck, but in H2H leagues, hes a 2-start pitcher against CWS & DET in the first week of playoffs.

Paul Sporer

1:05

Ya the Yankees are rocking a very favorable schedule and makes someone like Lynn a worthy streamer

Bert

1:05

Optimistic on Kyle Tucker long term?

Paul Sporer

1:05

Yes, for sure. Power and speed

Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe

1:05

Re: The Sporer Special, yeah, I was figuring on sitting tight. I am employing Jake Bauers in the meantime, so I don't think all is lost. Would you keep Albies over Yelich for a perennial contender? (Also keeping F. Freeman and J. Ramirez).

Paul Sporer

1:06

REALLY hard to decide b/w Albies & Yelly. I'm leaning Albies, but I don't think there's a *wrong* answer

Franmil or Bauers ROS? OBP 10 teamer

Paul Sporer

Leaning Bauers
