Luke

2:13

Who’s a better pickup for Prospect-ageddon 2: Naylor, Cron or Biggio

Paul Sporer

2:13

I like Biggio most

brian

2:15

Kris Bryant in the first round next year?

Paul Sporer

2:15

If he continues this season (another HR today), then ya, he'll be a 1st rounder. Hell, even with his "down" season, he was still a consistent 3rd rounder

Prospector

2:15

Has Mad Max Kepler finally arrived? Do you think he gets to 30 HR in this environment?

Paul Sporer

2:19

Ya he could pop 30, though he doesn't have much margin for error against righties since he's so bad v. lefties

Craig

2:19

Soroka or Paddack for remainder of season? What are the expected shut down points for each?

Paul Sporer

2:21

No idea on shutdown dates. I think those sorts of things will get pushed depending on team performance. I'll just take the more talented guy and worry about any potential shutdown stuff down the road, so gimme Paddack

Phil

2:22

Is Lance Lynn a must start? In other words, would you start him at home against an above average offense?

Paul Sporer

2:23

No, I'm still curating his innings if I'm rostering him and sitting him against tough opponents, home & away

Need pitching

2:24

You see Mize or Manning coming up anytime soon? And what about my boy Darwinzon?

Paul Sporer

2:26

We could see one of the Tigers up in the summer, but I wouldn't bet on it (meaning I wouldn't stash them in redraft leagues or anything). Darwinzon hasn't been particularly sharp in AA, so even if he were called up, I think it'd be to relieve

Pat's Bat

2:26

Just trade Bassit for Musgrove

Paul Sporer

2:26

I like it!

Mackel

2:26

Would you swap Blackmon for Goldschmidt in a standard 5x5 league + OBP + SLG?

Paul Sporer

2:27

I would, yes, but Blackmon just got hurt so that might not be available

Jake Junis

2:28

Am I droppable in AL Only?

Paul Sporer

2:28

Yes... yes you are

Chalotte is very cute

2:28

Trade Paddack for Matt Carpenter?

Paul Sporer

2:29

I feel like Paddack could draw more than a buy-low 33-year old. I just don't feel like this is buying low on Carp. It's not EGREGIOUS, but I think you're selling short

Brian Collins

2:29

Would you trade Rizzo for Montas and Riley? I have Gallo to put at 1B and kind of need an extra arm. Thoughts? Thanks Paul

Paul Sporer

2:30

That works given your needs, plus you could feasibly flip Riley for even more pitching help if necessary

Adam

2:30

Can Josh Bell keep this up? Seems legit

Paul Sporer

2:31

Ya, not at a 55 HR pace, but I think he can be a .900+ OPS rest of way. I'm a fan for sure

Swamp Thickly

2:31

When/if Alex Reyes gets called up, is he a top 40 SP rest of the way?

Paul Sporer

2:32

No, he'd have to show something to get that kind of acclaim. He'd be a shallow spot start at best (around the 80s or so) until we saw something

Dave

2:32

Could you rank Paddack, Archer, Musgrove, and Lyles?

Paul Sporer

Jeff

2:33

ROS Freeman or Goldy?

Paul Sporer

2:33

Freef

GallenOfGas

2:33

Goldschmidt for Cole? (Dynasty league)

Paul Sporer

2:33

This works

Yum Yum

2:34

is Walker and Soto for Bell fair offer (or even too much)?

Paul Sporer

2:34

Christian Walker I assume? That's definitely fair

2:36

OK y'all, I gotta get going. Thanks so much for coming out! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Snapchat (psporer). I’ll be streaming my NFBC 2nd Chance League (starting at 10 pm CT) on Twitch later today if you want to see how that goes. Have a great weekend!
