Hello everybody!! Sorry for the delay, but pod 600 needed my time and the band is back together with Justin and Jason joining me

Gloria Esteban Loaiza

3:26

Keeper time already??

Paul Sporer

3:26

Whattya mean? Like talking about them? Sure!

rpo

How do you value Aaron Hicks for next year? Top 100 guy?

Paul Sporer

3:27

Thereabouts, I *love* Aaron Hicks

MDN

3:28

What do you think about car mart for next year? Wondering what kind of price you think he should go for in drafts (5x5 roto) to decide on what kind of keeper cost is worth it for him. $10-20? >$20?!?

Paul Sporer

3:29

I'm still bought in, but I'm throwing him back at $20+

3:29

Need to make up HRs by Sunday in H2H- start 3 out of 5- j Donaldson, piscotty, Dahl, votto, abreu. Obp league

Paul Sporer

3:30

Piscotty, Donaldson, Abreu ... Dahl's in SF and Votto gets 3 lefties

Jon

3:30

Tight WHIP/ERA race, but need wins. Trust Joe Ross next week?

Paul Sporer

3:31

Yes, let's take the shot at MIA

3:31

Is Tucker Barnes or Taylor Ward the better C the rest of the way?

Paul Sporer

3:33

I imagine that's Tucker Barnhart and not Austin Barnes

I'd go Barnhart

Jay

3:33

I've held Max Muncy and am aware of the LHP's he encounters the next two weeks. Is Freese a decent platoon partner there?

Paul Sporer

3:34

Yes, though Freese doesn't get many lefties next week. He is holding his own vR, though

Scott TINSTAAPP

3:34

I know it is heresy to speak ill of Ozzie but since he's cooled off, would you play Adames over him for the last two weeks?

Paul Sporer

3:36

I understand re: Albies, but I'm still riding w/him. Adames is just riding a BABIP surge the last few weeks

Kevin wears a t-shirt to BP

3:36

Would you be starting Wei-Yin Chen tonight?

Paul Sporer

3:37

Yes, he's been really sharp since August 1: 2.04 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 36 K in 35 IP

Gloria Esteban Loaiza

3:38

10-team OPS/QS league, $300. Keepers are +$5 every year. Choose 2 at next year's price: Eaton ($7), Simba ($6), A. Rosario ($8), Mondesi ($7), ERod ($8), K. Tucker ($7), McCullers ($9)

Paul Sporer

3:39

So those are their prices next year or do I +$5 them? I love Mondesi so much so I'm down at $7 and probably even still good at $12 bc his speed. Hell, I might go Mondesi/Rosario and just lock up some nice speed at $15

Bob Villar

3:39

Tyler White going to be a guy worth owning next year?

Paul Sporer

3:39

In deeper leagues, but it really depends on his playing time outlook. We're still dealing with a pretty small sample.

OddBall Herrera

3:43

Thoughts on Jesse Winker as a 12 team keeper asset? The list of guys who walk more than they strike out is a pretty good one to be on.

Paul Sporer

3:43

He's borderline bc he was showing some nice pop before the injury, but it's a shoulder injury that could sap that power upon return. I'd need more info, but I can lean yes

Nails Dykstra Finishing School

3:43

Is Touki Toussaint getting another start for ATL or am I keeping him on my playoff roster for no apparent reason?

Paul Sporer

3:44

Doesn't appear to be slated for a start despite a 7-game week for ATL next week

Hugh

3:45

What kind of marginal value for an SB in roto would you have to be looking at to make Terrance Gore rosterable for the next 2 weeks? Making up 3 SB would net me 4 points, and while that's probably not enough it got me thinking about what would be.

Paul Sporer

3:45

if 3 SBs get you 4 pts, Gore actually is viable.

Odds the Tigers trade Shane Greene this offseason? I'm cruising to victory in a dynasty league and have began sitting on possible 2019 closers. Hicks > Knebel > Fry > Jimenez > Gsellman seem about right or are there other less obvious names out there that might be closing in 2019. I'm going to trying holding a closer sale this offseason to rebuild my farm system. Doesn't much matter how valuable they will be just that they have the role.

Paul Sporer

3:46

Man, trying to guess closers for the next season when the previous one hasn't ended is a fool's errand. Tigers SHOULD trade Greene, but I'm not sure they'll get much. I'd lean Jimenez as their guy

OddBall Herrera

3:46

Which direction would you lean? This is the start of something big for Mondesi (15/50??), or this is the exact type of player who gets hyped to the skies in the offseason then embarrasses the people who invested in him (18% SwStr!)

Paul Sporer

3:47

He'll get hyped for sure, but I'll be part of it. I'm obsessed with him bc I love major speed that has some punch with it. The thing is, if he gets to 30 SBs, it'll be hard for him to be a total flop and barring injury, he'll coast to that

Bob Villar

3:47

Mondesi or Lemahieu rest of year?

Paul Sporer

3:47

Mondesi

10-team H2H RP-eligible Framber Valdez lined up for two starts in championship week against SEA and LAA--both dreadful versus lefties. Worth the risk, or go for waiver wire closer like a LeClerc?

Paul Sporer

3:48

Is it a points league? Bc I'm just not sold that Valdez will give you great starts given his skills (love the GB% rate, but little else right now). I'd lean against unless it's pts

JD Drew Detective

3:48

Starting Eflin tonight vs the Marlins? Need K's and ratios that aren't murder to look at .

Paul Sporer

3:48

Yes, I think you gotta take shots v. MIA w/any halfway decent SP
