Good afternoon, everyone! My new Starting Pitcher ranks are live so this would be a great chance to ask questions about them if you have any: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/april-starting-pitcher-rankings/

Big Tuna

12:04

After the call up, in leagues are you looking at Chavis? 12 tm OPS?

Paul Sporer

12:05

Not sure there is going to be enough playing time for 12-teamers, though he did play some 2B in the minors

Anders

12:05

14 team points league, would you drop any of Tim Beckham, Hunter Dozier, Vogelbach, or Mazara for Yandy Diaz/Avisail Garcia? I'd love to make room for them, good problem to have I suppose.

Paul Sporer

12:06

Ya it is a good problem to have as I'd probably just roll with what I've got in that situation

Freddy Mac

12:06

Would you still hold Laureano in a 12 teamer? The K/BB is atrocious

Paul Sporer

12:06

Cuttable if you've got someone else you want, especially bc I doubt he'd be instantly picked up and if he starts to get going again, you can scoop him back up

Guest

12:07

Is it time to give up on Hampson? Will he get ABs until Murphy comes back? Any chance Desmond loses job and Hampson and McMahon can co-exist?

Paul Sporer

12:08

I'm still holding on. He's at .276/.323/.483 in his last seven games. He's just getting going

12:08

A lucky streak, or is that something to this new version of Luke Weaver?

Paul Sporer

12:09

I doubt he will hold THIS specific K rate without a swinging strike boost, but I dig him as a strong SP

Big Tuna

12:09

Prefer Stephenson or Buttrey as ratio RP with possible save upside down the road?

Paul Sporer

12:09

Buttrey has better SV potential

Mike

12:09

My team has unexpectedly been a juggernaut so far, with far and away the most points in the league. Should I be looking to make my team even better via trade or should I not mess with a good thing

Paul Sporer

12:09

Weird flex, but OK

The Hanser the Better

12:10

Pineda sure did allow some taters the other day. Is his velo coming back?

Paul Sporer

12:11

The ol' Michael Piñata Experience! He just can't be trusted. The clunkers will always keep him in the low-to-mid 4.00s with a high-3.00s upside... just don't see him reaching the level his K-BB% rate suggests

12:11

Man, Wheeler has been pretty frustrating. You’re still a fan?

Paul Sporer

12:12

Very much still a fan. 44% of his earned runs game in the one bad outing. I don't really see an issue

MarinerDan

12:12

Thoughts on Clint Frazier so far? Is there a path to playing time even after Stanton/Hicks/Andujar return?

Paul Sporer

12:13

If he keeps raking, they'll find time

Hi Paul

12:13

Is there any reason to be optimistic about Darvish? I feel like I have to hold being in a 16-team but I'm not feeling great about it

Paul Sporer

12:14

In a 16-teamer, I'm still holding. It hasn't been great, I understand, but it's not like the wire offers much more

Bryan

12:14

12-team roto (AVG, OPS, R, RBI, HR, SB & QS, WHIP, ERA, K/9, K, SV+HD). Would you deal Musgrove for T. Shaw? My staff would still include Scherzer, Bauer, Taillon, Wheeler, Maeda.

Paul Sporer

12:15

I would not. Gotta be able to get more for Musgrove, IMO

Pol

12:15

Aaron Sanchez has been walking too many, but getting good results. Any chance he can be a top 30ish SP with health this year?

Paul Sporer

12:17

Top 30 would be tough without maintaining a premium ERA bc the Ks aren't there. He's had a great ERA season before, but I wouldn't bet on it. He's a hold for sure, but temper expectations

Craig in CHI

12:19

Thanks for chatting. I already asked you this on Twitter, but I was hoping you could expand on your VV distrust? He's 27, just had 30 GS, career 9.6 K/9 in the NL East. Thanks

Paul Sporer

12:20

I dunno.... I could picture a scenario where goes off, but I'm not betting on it. I need to see more

Big Tuna

12:20

Any reason to worry about Goldy? The strikeout numbers are way up, despite still having good HR numbers.

Paul Sporer

12:20

Didn't we do this last year

Siri

12:20

Why so low on Skaggs (besides the current injury)?

Paul Sporer

12:21

What's to really like? He's pretty meh... and hurt regularly

Dave C

12:21

I have a chance to get moncada, tatis or de jong in a redraft ops league. How do you rank them?

Paul Sporer

12:23

Moncada, DeJong, Tatis

Yonny

12:23

How do you value Chirinos?

Paul Sporer

12:23

OldManRoto

12:23

Chavis called up by Boston. Should I be excited to play him over Pereza? Different skill set but not much out there for SBs.

Paul Sporer

12:24

I can go for him over Peraza

Anthony

12:24

1. Jorge Polanco or garret hampson
