Help me understand why the Rockies think they're better with Matt Holliday instead of Raimel Tapia.

Paul Sporer

2:00

I wish I could. I don't hate the idea of Holliday back in a vacuum as he seems to have something left in the tank, but they have options so with the Rockies specifically, it's curious

Fred

NL Cy- Max Nola or DeGrom

Paul Sporer

2:00

It changes like every day for me lol. I'm leaning deGrom right now

Dave

Is Fiers someone you're holding for now, or are you streaming/dropping and hoping you can pick back up (12 team league)?

Paul Sporer

2:01

I'm holding

zurzles

2:01

Pick up Tyler O'Neill in place of Inciarte or Myers? Not in need of too many SBs

Paul Sporer

2:01

Yes over Inciarte

Jay

2:01

I asked earlier about comparing Matt Harvey to Reynaldo. Reynaldo's two-step next week will be home vs. Detroit and Angels.

Paul Sporer

2:02

Hmmmmm.... they are sooo close. I'm leaning Lopez w/the 2 at home

In a close ratio race

2:02

Do you use Roark tonight versus Brew Crew?

Paul Sporer

2:03

I do and am, yes

Kyle

2:03

Can relievers be valuable enough to keep? Is keeping someone like LeClerc in the last round worth it (I only get 4 keepers in 12 team)?

Paul Sporer

2:03

I'd really rather not in a 12-team even at that cheap price

Jim Leyland Palmer

2:03

Do you have a comp for Daz Cameron?

Paul Sporer

2:04

A lesser version of his dad? Speed-focused, some pop, AVG deficient

Scott TINSTAAPP

2:04

Given Tyler White's rise, do you think Gattis is a drop for the last month or a hold? His PT just isn't there right now (3 starts in 9 days)

Paul Sporer

2:05

I don't think it's out of bounds, at least with the C-elig., you don't need as much PT, but I see it

B. Ryce Hammers Luscious Locks

2:05

Hey Paul! Sorry for throwing shade about your start time last week. You still rock! What do I do with Gattis right now? Catcher position is a pile of blegh on the waiver wire

Paul Sporer

2:05

You're all good. I need to get it moved on the site bc I've been starting more often at 1 CT

2:06

And as I mentioned above, Gattis' C-elig. is the only thing giving him a chance to stay on my rosters rn

If you have a waiver C you like more (maybe a T.Ward or D.Jansen), go for it

playoffs. H2H cat. I kill every pitching category, but my offense if terrible. What is my strategy to win? I just need to win ONE offensive one. I was thinking SBs. Right now I have Peraza, Merrifield....but they havent been running much lately. Thoughts? thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:06

In H2H cat, chasing speed is probably the way to go about it. Mondesi out there?

Scott TINSTAAPP

2:06

Soto or Acuna for ROY? It's the Childish Bambino Juan Soto for me!

Paul Sporer

2:06

Harrison Bader Tots :)

2:07

Kidding. I'm leaning Acuña, but Jeff outlined a very plausible case for Bader to be considered - https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/harrison-bader-rookie-of-the-year/

Lucas Giolito

2:07

What is going on with me? Trusting him down the stretch? (or even just against your Tigers next week?)

Scott TINSTAAPP

2:07

You trusting Giolito in NFBC 12 team where all pitching categories are tight?

Paul Sporer

2:07

He's been awesome with skills to match. I think we're trusting him.

cak199164

2:07

start Ryu or Eovaldi today in standard points league?

Paul Sporer

2:08

Eovaldi

CubFan

2:08

I'm betting Vlad, Jr and Eloy don't get a Sep cup of joe since precedent has been set via Kris Bryant. And I'd even bet they don't get called up till mid April 2019 at the earliest for the same reason......service time. The PR hit will blow over.

Paul Sporer

2:08

Ya this was set well before Bryant and will continue until the incentive structure changes for teams

HappyFunBall

2:08

Why am I still rostering Quintana? I'm terrified to ever start him ...

Paul Sporer

2:08

If you're terrified to start him, it's time to move on

Nola and Severino bona fide aces for a keeper?
