Hey everyone! We'll begin in just a moment and run through the hour.

Greg

Thoughts on Darvish? Sliders looked pretty nasty early yesterday, but it has been a rough go.

Paul Sporer

1:10

I do wonder if that late-spring blister is still an issue at this point. He just doesn't look like he did early in spring.

WeaverTruther

1:10

Was there anything in Weaver's first start to get excited about, or get legitimately worried about?

Paul Sporer

1:12

Nothing I'm worry about. Bad start against a good team. He's the kinda guy I'm giving 3 starts to assess. After that, he's cuttable bc he wasn't a high priced pick

1:13

I have a $49 Arenado at 3B and a $15 Cruz at UTL in Ottoneu points league. How can I get Maikel Franco in my lineup or what should I be looking for in return for a $1 Franco?

Paul Sporer

1:15

I'm not trying to expose you or be mean, but I'd like to use this Q as a way stating that the "what should I get for X" questions are impossible to answer. It's more useful if you provide some players you're looking to get and ask about that. Even that still requires a willing trade partner, but it's a lot better than the openess of what should I get for this player. I don't know what you need, who has who, etc... I just want to be able to provide the best advice and these Qs don't allow that. Not a bad problem to have, btw, but I don't think anyone is gonna go crazy for Franco based on this week

Dave

1:15

What would a Dansby Swanson breakout look like?

Paul Sporer

1:15

.280/20/10 and Justin crying a lot

Samuel Seabury

1:15

12 team mixed league with OBP as category. All else equal, is the Dentist or Ketel Marte better if steals is the category I'm trying to add to primarily.

Paul Sporer

1:17

Well the Dentist (Delino DeShields... DDS... consider that the explanation for the season, he's THE DENTIST!) has shown more SB prowess throughout his career. Marte HAS the speed to be an SB monster, but has to use it. I'm still going to go Marte, though. I think he's gonna pop this year.

Andy

1:18

Keep forever. Edwin Diaz for Wilson Contreras? Who says no? Diaz for Gary Sanchez?

Paul Sporer

1:18

I'd prefer the C. Not buying long-term closers.

Andy

1:21

How many more years is trout top pick?

Paul Sporer

1:21

2-3

Luke Singsank

1:21

How's the Perfect Team looking?

Paul Sporer

1:21

Not bad, I'll do some OOTP streaming this weekend for sure to unveil it.

Derek B

1:22

Jose Martinez and Tyler O’Neil still adds with Ozuna already back in the lineup? Which do you prefer in a points format?

Paul Sporer

1:23

Like ONeill’s skills more but think Martinez gets more burn short term

Dave

1:24

Pick a top-tier starter who's started poorly: Sale or Kluber

Paul Sporer

1:24

Gonna lean to Sale

John

1:24

Do you think Kike could be a top 10 2B if he's getting consistent starts? Great start

Paul Sporer

1:24

I do. He improved vR and I really like him

Andy

1:25

Please rank better performance the rest of the year? Domingo Santana, Puig or Castellanos?

Paul Sporer

1:25

Puig and Santana over Casty bc the bats will be similar and those two run

Tim

1:25

Brian Dozier has been terrible so far. Do you have any faith in a bounce back this year?

Paul Sporer

1:26

It’s been a week. We are still very much in the zone where one strong game completely flips things

Fresh Hair cuz Newcomb

1:26

If I need to make a sudden FA grab this weekend, who's the drop - Freddy Peralta or Skaggs?

Paul Sporer

1:27

Skaggs for me

HappyFunBall

1:27

Offered Soto for Adalberto in a dynasty league. Seems like a no brainer right? But the part of me that wants to win this year is having trouble selling off all those stolen bases. I'm overthinking this, right?

Paul Sporer

1:28

No you need to win. If you can’t replace the SBs, don’t do the deal

Gturns

1:28

JBJ or Leonys ROS in roto league.

Paul Sporer

1:28

JBJ

1:29

christian walker an intriguing pickup? those exit velo numbers are off the charts.

Paul Sporer

1:29

Very. We discussed him on episode 666 of the pod. I scooped him last week bc they had a full slate of lefties and now I’m liking it more with Lamb’s injury

Matt

1:30

2 homers in 6 games so far for Robles, do you think he has a chance to hit 15-20 HR? Washington has to move him out of the 9 hole soon with Turner out for the near future, yes?

Paul Sporer

1:30

He definitely does, yes. Needs to curb the base running mistakes but he’s awesome

Chris

1:30

Would you rather be holding Jeffress or T. Rogers as a extra closer ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:30

Jeffress.

vft

1:31

Boyd seems to be locating his fastball and slider better (only 2 starts but still). These k's are mind blowing. Won't keep it up at this rate, but you buying a breakout?
