Welcome, everyone! I've got my NFBC 2nd Chance League tonight, let's talk some baseball!!!

Corbin Martin

12:59

How long is my leash in the rotation after back to back wet-fart starts?

Paul Sporer

1:00

Not too long in 10- and 12-teamers, especially bc HOU may move on

Ross

1:00

Who would you target if trying to trade Stroman in 18-team mixed? Looking for wins, saves, or average.

Paul Sporer

1:01

Let me cut these ones off right from the jump, it's impossible to really answer bc I could say 3 names and end up with all of them on your own roster. It's better to suggest names you're targeting and then I can answer if that's in the range (even that isn't perfect, but much more useful)

Kenny

1:01

Is Amed Rosario worth holding on to in a 12 team mixed over some of the prospects being called up like Cavan Biggio?

Paul Sporer

1:02

Nah, I'm down to roll the dice on Biggio over Rosario. You can get Rosario or a Rosario-like substance off the wire down the line if Biggio flops

Sum

1:02

10-team H2H points - who do you prefer ROS, Cesar Hernandez or Keston Hiura? thanks!!

Paul Sporer

1:03

They're kinda the same, no? Seems like Hiura's upside would be Hernandezian. I'd stick with Hernandez

John

1:03

I’ve been holding Josh James all year in hopes that he’d get back into the starting rotation. Has that ship sailed for 2019 or is there still a chance?

Paul Sporer

1:04

Ship hasn't sailed. Corbin Martin hasn't been great. He's allowed just 2 ER with 20 Ks in his last 13 IP, too

Poncho

1:04

Is Yordano Alvarez is worth a stash in re-draft leagues, or only keeper leagues? I'd be dropping Wil Myers (a bench bat for me) to stash.

Paul Sporer

1:05

100% in AL Only leagues and I'm down to stash in mixers. Myers isn't doing anything to merit a roster spot

Zach

1:05

Small sample, but Griffin Cannings 17% swstr% is intriguing. Where would he be in your current rankings?

Paul Sporer

1:05

He'll move up a bit in shallow spot start - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/may-starting-pitcher-rankings/

Rocco

1:05

Is Lucas Giolito a MS pitcher from here on out?

Paul Sporer

1:06

Not from here on out. He's definitely moving into the US tier, but I don't have his new rank defined just yet.

Steve

1:06

What's Matt Carpenter worth in a dynasty league?

Paul Sporer

1:06

Not sure, you'd have to ask your league and see what they're offering. You'd need to find an interested party in contention I imagine

Rocco

1:07

Within ___ weeks, LeClerc will resume the Texas closer role? Please fill in the blank

Paul Sporer

1:07

Anders

1:08

When Yordan Alvarez gets the call, who would you drop between H. Dozier, Eloy, and Rodgers? H2H points

Paul Sporer

1:09

Hmmm, not sure I'd drop any of them, especially if Eloy keeps getting on track

Trump

1:09

Pick two to stash Yordan Alvarez, Willie Calhoun, and Luis Urias?

Paul Sporer

1:09

Alvarez and Urias, gotta go with the healthy players

LGM

1:09

2nd chance best offense ROS- D. Murphy, Travis Shaw, Sano?

Paul Sporer

1:09

Murph

Desmond

1:10

12 team H2H points dynasty, deep rosters.. I’m competing but my SP is awful. There is none available on waivers. Would you move Hoskins, Royce Lewis and Kopech and Kristian Robinson for Degrom, Carrasco, and Minor?

Paul Sporer

1:10

Ya that seems to work for a MASSIVE infusion of pitching if your SP Is awful

Rocco

1:11

Puig has been super disappointing -- do you hold or cut bait?

Paul Sporer

1:11

I'm trying to hold, but league size certainly matters. If it's a 10-teamer, I understand moving on

Kenny

1:11

What would be a reasonable return for Archer in a 12 team deep dynasty league? Would you do it for Josh Donaldson?

Paul Sporer

1:12

I would take JD if he were available to me

Rosebud Basselopes

1:12

Fantasy, dynasty for life format, Josh Bell and Mookie for Trout, which side wins?

Paul Sporer

1:13

Bell/Betts win IMO. I can be swayed that there's a difference between Betts & Trout, but it's not a Bell-sized one

BlueBirds

1:13

Would you trade Michael Chavis + Caleb Smith for Charlie Blackmon in a 20 team keep forever points pool

Paul Sporer

1:14

I don't think I would, no.

John

1:14

Following up on the Josh James question, would Houston have to send him down to stretch him out or could he transition to the rotation quickly? Thanks.

Paul Sporer

1:14

Not sure on that, tbh. I feel like they could avoid sending him down given how they regularly give him multi-inning stints

Sugar Shane

1:15

15 team points league. I have Alonso/O'Hearn rotating in and out of my 1B slot. Is it worth putting in a FAAB bid for Palka or Kevin Cron so I can drop one of these bums?
