Hey Paul, anything different about mitch moreland approach this yr? He's crushin right now with a .231 babip and looks like hes doubled his hr/fb %. Any truth to it?

Paul Sporer

1:58

He has a hot run every year. https://www.fangraphs.com/statsd.aspx?playerid=3086&position=1B&type=3... and every year he gets back to his solid-but-unspectacular level. I'm not averse to riding the hot streak, but I'm not buying a new level until I see a good bit more

I just inherited a last-place 5x5 roto team with too many 1Bmen. Which two would you keep out of Encarnacion, Voit, C.Santana, Aguilar.

Paul Sporer

1:58

Prob look to trade EE and Voit as they likely have the most juice in the market

Matt

Is Adam Jones a real fantasy asset again, or is this a flash in the pan?

Paul Sporer

1:59

Prob won't keep this peak level, but I think he'll be solid all year

My A's fan friend wants Jesus Luzardo from me. Who do you like best in return between Domingo German, Chris Paddack, or Corbin Burnes?

Paul Sporer

1:59

I could see taking Paddack, but it seems kinda lateral. I guess you're getting the healthier guy right now

Can Domingo German continue his solid start to 2019? I dropped E-Rod for him after a bad couple starts.

Paul Sporer

2:03

Yes he can, I love his stuff. Needs to stop walking so many, but he can be an asset for a while

Bob

2:03

Would you start Urias and Burnes in the LAD at Milwaukee game?

Paul Sporer

2:03

Urias for sure, but Burnes prob depends on league size

My Mama Says

2:03

What is up with Statcast saying Tellez hit it 505?

Paul Sporer

2:03

LOL I'm not sure. Thought I heard that they adjusted it

Deltron 3030

2:03

Has the Jorge Polanco breakout arrived? Where do you think he ranks at SS ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:04

It's too early to say anything has arrived yet. He kinda broke out in 2H of '17. I definitely like him

Josh Donaldson

2:04

Should I stay optimistic? Will they bump me down the order regardless?

Paul Sporer

2:05

Yes and I doubt they move him down in the order (outside of maybe a game or 2 here and there) for a good while

George

Cut two: German, Godley, Pineda, Corbin Barnes, Caleb Smith

Paul Sporer

2:05

Godley for sure. Other one is p tough. I guess Smith since he's really a home-only guy

how's jen taking to DFS? is this a gateway to getting her hooked on deeper format leagues?

Paul Sporer

2:06

It stresses her out to not win daily but I've told her how hard that is! She's been enjoying it, though, and has some cashes

Tommy Sells

2:06

Will it ever be safe to start German Marquez at home? Maybe against bottom half offenses?

Paul Sporer

2:06

Coors is undefeated. That's why I wasn't taking him as a Top 20 (well, 22nd) SP. Think you'll have to run him out there sometimes. Can't just get half a pitcher that early

Oddball Herrera

2:06

How many more weeks do we need to hold on to Darvish before we can safely walk him through town chanting 'shame' on his way to the waiver wire?

Paul Sporer

2:07

I'm giving him next week's 2-start at MIA and v. ARI. I do wonder if the blister is an issue still

yhency

2:07

Does Alonso put up a goldschmidt year minus the SBs?

Paul Sporer

2:07

Relaaaaaaaxxxxx, let's see him hit a cold snap first

Liberty Bell

2:07

How do you see the Phillies bullpen shaking out? I actually own two of the three potential closers in an NL-only league - Neris & Dominguez. I keep thinking Robertson will win out on the gig, but he’s been bad.

Paul Sporer

2:08

D Rob has been fine his last 3 outings. I still lean him, but it's not like Kapler didn't alert us to this being an annoying situation

Bill

2:08

What do I do with Rougned Odor? Sit him for Pinder? Drop him?

Paul Sporer

2:09

Y'all have to include league context to get useful answers.

2:09

Chris Davis is the answer to ‘Could an Average Joe get a hit off an MLB pitcher?’ No, no they could not.

Paul Sporer

2:09

Exactly. Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports.

2:10

OK y'all, I have to get going. Recording a Fireside on Nick Pivetta with Nick. Hit me up on Twitter (@sporer) or Twitch (twitch.tv/sporer) if you have questions over the weekend!
