How big are your concerns for Strasburg with the reduced velocity and increased walk rate? Will he right the ship?

Paul Sporer

1:39

Velo's down a little, but not worried about the BB%. It's really the 4 BB game pushing it. A 0-1 BB outing his next time and it's back where it belongs

Last week I traded Roberto Osuna (have Chapman too) and Carlos Santana for Gleyber (I own Turner). 12 team roto (avg not OBP). I feel decent about it, but should I have aimed higher for another SS?

Paul Sporer

1:40

Nah, that's fine

Anders

1:40

Would you be shopping Tim Beckham at this point and do you think there's something legit about his hot start?

Paul Sporer

1:41

I do like the early plate skills from Beckham (as a long-time Beckham Believer), but I'd probably just ride it out as I'm not sure anyone is really giving you anything major for him.

Margivicius vs COL or Sale @ NYY? This question saddens me.

Paul Sporer

1:41

C'mon.... you have to start Sale

Hey Paul! In my 12 teamer I unfortunately have Darvish and Eovaldi, still to early to cut bait on them?

Paul Sporer

1:43

My god they've been AWFUUUUULLLLLL. Darvish is at MIA, v. ARI next week. If you can't start him, just cut him. I'm gonna ride it out w/this 2-start week. I'm 100% sitting Eovaldi at NYY, but I could even see cutting him. I really did love him coming into the season, but in a 12, I can move on

Zack Godley

1:44

Did I forget how to pitch or will I pull this back together? When do I think about dropping myself in a 12 team roto?

Paul Sporer

1:45

Can move on from him in a 12er. Could see him gaining stream status later if he figures it out, but he's not a must-hold

Back end starters

1:45

Do you feel Anibal Sanchez, and Luke Weaver will be serviceable starters in a 12-team NL league?

Paul Sporer

1:45

Oh for sure. A 12-team NL Only is deeeeeeeeeeeeep

Kerosenedan

1:45

Deep league, roto 5x5 - is there any reason to hang on to Dylan Bundy?

Paul Sporer

1:46

Does your league reward failure? I'm cutting Bundy just about everywhere (maybe a deeeeep reserve roster I'd stash)

Bob Villar

1:46

Aguilar or Y. Diaz ROS in OBP league?

Paul Sporer

1:47

Still riding with Aguilar for a bit in OBP. Would try to add Yandy for someone else, though

Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe

1:47

Explanation was not awful; thanks. Should have mentioned this is also a weekly moves league and I did set an inning cap (30), which might have been aggressive if people aren't paying attention to their rosters or miss the window to edit things. Think people would notice if I removed the innings limit?

Paul Sporer

1:47

Don't remove without saying anything. Just keep everything above board

Donjuan

1:47

If you own Tim Beckham, when can you justify dropping him (because this can't be any where near real, right?)

Paul Sporer

1:49

Not 207 wRC+ real, but I'm not looking for reasons to cut him right now

Anders

1:49

Would you trade Archer for Wheeler straight up? (H2H 14 team points)

Paul Sporer

1:49

Yes, I would

Rizzo + Luis Castillo + Pham = Lindor in 11-team small-bench dynasty? Because the Lindor owner sure didn't think so :(

Paul Sporer

1:49

Wow, that's surprising. Trading a young stud like Lindor is tough, but that's a damn good offer

Jim

1:49

M Chapman or Votto ROS. Was thinking votto in OBP leagues but Chapman everywhere else including OPS.

Paul Sporer

1:49

Chappy for me

Zipp

1:49

Kolten Wong or Chad Pinder ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:50

I'm going to say Pinder as I think he'll continue to expand his role and earn more PA

Sammiches or Sangwiches?

1:50

Peripherals look pretty good for Heyward? Can we buy into it even a little as sustainable?

Paul Sporer

1:52

Ya I think those just entirely dismissing out of hand could be missing out. I think he needs to be on a roster everywhere right now, obviously w/a tight leash given how poor his last 3 yrs have been. Lotta red in his little Statcast box in the upper right: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/jason-heyward-518792?stat...

Donjuan

1:52

Are you rooting for Chris Davis to get a hit, or to extend the streak? I have always liked him, but I find myself rooting for the streak.

Paul Sporer

1:52

Rooting for him. Not gonna root for failure. Not his fault Baltimore overpaid him and it's not like he WANTS to suck

JupiterBrando

1:52

offered Votto and Mondesi for Alonso and Merrifield. am I crazy?

Paul Sporer

1:53

You might be a little sample size drunk. I'd prefer Votto/Mondesi, but it's not egregious
