What's wrong w/Marte? He's been perfectly fine. Cain hasn't been great, but he hasn't been someone I'm too worried about. I'd just hold em.

DonJulio

12:31

Thoughts on Luis Urias given the news (rotoworld) that he should be up soon?

Paul Sporer

12:32

I'm a big Urias fan. He certainly can't be worse this time around. I could see him having a nice summer

Jorge

12:33

Your ranking of Felix Pena really surprised me and he's available in a deep league I'm in. Can you elaborate on him, and does last start impact your thinking?

Paul Sporer

12:35

I got a couple comments which kinda surprised me. He'd been excellent before the meltdown in his latest outing. He was pretty good last year, too. I just think he's really solid and gets a better win opportunity by having an opener in front of him

Brett

12:35

OPS league... Moncada or Odor ROS?

Paul Sporer

12:36

Moncada by miles. Odor isn't good.

Scott TINSTAAPP

12:37

We've seen this before from Freddy Peralta but I'm still tempted to start him in Houston next week against a weakened Astros lineup. Please advise if I'm a masochist.

Paul Sporer

12:37

Ya I don't like that idea at all

Drew

12:38

Starting to love Jurado. Tons of sink. You buying?

Paul Sporer

12:39

Maybe some AL Only love? Not enough swing and miss and too many hits allowed.

Mark

12:39

are caleb smith and trevor bauer buy lows right now?

Paul Sporer

12:40

I can't see anyone selling low on Smith after a couple bumpy starts in his last three. Honestly, I'm not even sure Bauer is coming at a major discount. His believers are pretty into him so I doubt the person with him in your league is eager to sell low

Webster

12:40

Duplantier or Plesac Ros?

Paul Sporer

12:41

I lean Duplantier

benjamin mutton

12:41

Paddack or Boyd for the rest of the season?

Paul Sporer

12:41

I'm a #BoydBoy

Mike

12:41

Who do you prefer ROS- Kershaw vs Price? Both have the injury risk but both are pitching well and can rack up the Ws

Paul Sporer

12:42

Got Kersh https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/june-starting-pitcher-rankings-2/

Jay Bruce is not afraid

12:42

Should I discover the fountain of youth with Ponce de Leon in Miami this week?

Paul Sporer

12:42

League context matters, but anytime you pick on Miami, it's a solid idea

Josh

12:42

Do you think Lorenzo Cain and Caleb Smith for Trey Mancini is a good value deal?

Paul Sporer

12:42

For the person trading Mancini

hooha

12:42

How do you value Rafael Devers in a keeper league? Do you think he is a top 50 player moving forward?

Paul Sporer

12:43

I'm a huge Devers fan. He's probably more top 75 in a dynasty league

Ted

12:43

In 12-teamers, you think Archer or Marco Gonzales are cuttable? Considering selling for pennies on the dollar, but also wondering if it's even worth the effort.

Paul Sporer

12:43

Not sure you'd get anything of note anyway. Might as well just hit the wire - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/june-starting-pitcher-rankings-2/

BlueJayMatt

12:44

15 team standard 5x5 H2H league - rank my five(!) 2B/3B types Baez, La Stella, Muncy, Shaw, McMahon

Paul Sporer

12:44

Baez, Muncy, La Stella, McMahon, Shaw

Mooxer

12:44

Will Dozier come back strong from this injury ?

Paul Sporer

12:44

I have no idea, lol

I hope, though

12:44

I'm sure this is one of the more popular questions you get, but what in the world do we do with Austin Riley?! He obviously can't keep up this pace, but it's so hard to trade him. To sell high, the other owner won't want to give up an established star and anything else feels like you're giving away Riley for nothing

Paul Sporer

12:45

Ya I think you just ride it out. We get all excited for these prospects and then when one finally pans out, everyone just asks about trading him. Why not just enjoy him??

Obviously if you can truly sell high and better than team, then by all means, but most of us don't play in leagues where ppl are going to be taken advantage of and grossly overpay for a Riley. So I'm just riding it out and enjoying my find.

DonJulio

12:46

Do you think Gallen is worth stashing? His AAA game log is ridiculous. When should he be up?

Paul Sporer

12:46

C'mon y'all, coming light on context today making these tough to answer. How many teams? What kinda reserve?

Ted

12:46

I've got an offer on the table for Ryu - he's a beast and I love him when he's healthy, but I feel like the dude is never healthy. I know you've got him ranked high, but how much of a discount, if any, do you have for injury concern?

Paul Sporer

12:47

I'm sure it's built into the offer given his IP counts. And if you're afraid that you won't get another 80 IP rest of season, let alone another 100, you might consider moving out for a more stable asset. Or at least perceived more stable. Pitching is risky no matter what, though, so even the "safe" guy you're getting is a huge risk.

royce clayton

12:47

we starting boyd against minnesota today?

Paul Sporer

12:48

I am, but I only have him in deeper leagues. In a 10- or 12-teamer, I can totally get behind passing. They're 2nd in wRC+ against southpaws
