I'd hang onto Barnes for now, I still think he's the best guy in the pen for sure

Closer Shuffle

Joe Jimenez has been shaky. What are the odds that he will get the job if/when Greene gets traded? Anything suggesting he will improve?

Paul Sporer

1:01

Rough start to June, but I think he'll smooth out and still be the guy once Greene is gone (they'd BETTER trade Greene, lol)

Brault (lefty) at Marlins or Matz vs StL today?

Paul Sporer

1:03

This is tough bc Brault has sneak tip been nice lately. I want to go with the better SP (Matz), but I think I'll lean Brault here and play the matchup

Wayne Garrett

1:03

Has Alex Reyes lost his Mojo?

Paul Sporer

1:04

I'm not sure he's ever really had it all that much outside of run here or there in the minors. It's been a lot of hype and while I understand the hype, I find him overrated at this point

Robles for Tatis Jr. Which side are you on?

Paul Sporer

1:04

I prefer Robles

Cory

1:05

Keeper league, would you drop Christin Walker for Cooper?

Paul Sporer

1:05

I'm cool with that, ya

Mike

1:05

Is Zac Gallen getting the Vlad Jr treatment? Will we have to wait until next season to see him? When he comes up, what’s are your expectations?

Paul Sporer

1:06

No, pitchers don't usually get that kind of treatment. I think he'll get the call this summer

Rocco

1:06

Paul - any view on why Betts and JDMart continue to underperform their draft slots? Is a major positive regression move coming?

Paul Sporer

1:08

When you buy guys like that, you're buying the floor as much as the upside. They aren't close to hurting us despite not quite performing like last year. I could still see them (and the BOS offense at large) going off for a month - 6 week run of excellence, but even if they remain in this realm, they're completely fine

Ralph Rowdie

1:08

Keep forever: Betts and Alonso for Bellinger and Greinke. Which side do you prefer?

Paul Sporer

1:08

I'll take Betts/Alonso

HappyFunBall

1:09

Upton will be back soon and I'm facing a bit of a roster crunch (12x standard Roto). Will have to let go one of my roster-bottoms OFs: Martinez, Thames, Grichuk, DeShields, ... or, I suppose, Upton

Paul Sporer

1:10

Is that Jose Martinez? If so, him. If not, Grichuk

Dave

1:10

Is Giovanny Gallegos someone worth rostering if I'm chasing ratios, or just a reliever with a couple good months so far?

Paul Sporer

1:11

Sure, if it's a league deep enough where rostering RPs to protect ratios is viable, Gallegos is worth a look. Can't fake a 40% K rate (meaning he's going to miss bat for sure... maybe not AT the 40% clip, but definitely at a high clip)

Wonderstruts

1:11

Need to cut one: Robinson Chirinos or Garver H2H OBP league?

Paul Sporer

1:12

I know Garver missed time holding his PA down a bit, but Chirinos is going to play more in general bc he doesn't have a Jason Castro breathing down his neck so I'm going with him

ros points: tapia dickerson jacoby mercado?

Paul Sporer

1:13

Mercado

Big fly for Mike Trout

1:13

Rank ROS obp league. J Turner, yandy Diaz, Donaldson, Matt Chapman, Matt Carpenter.

Paul Sporer

1:14

Chapman, Turner, Diaz, Carp, JD

Crowded Outfield

1:15

Do you see Reddick losing playing time once Springer comes back in favor or Alvarez?

Paul Sporer

1:16

No Springer will go in for Marisnick

Casey

1:16

16 team league and I need pitching help, is Didi for a 'US' tier pitcher too ambitious?

Paul Sporer

1:16

No I think you can get some US guys for him. Just find the right buyer who can really use Didi

Ryan

1:17

Whats up with Skaggs? Is he still rosterable in a 15team 5x5?

Paul Sporer

1:17

I think he's at least reservable. But he's in that range where if your specific team is full, you can cut him. On guys like that, I like to say they need to be on a roster in a 15-teamer, but not necessarily YOUR roster

Purple Mays Haze

1:18

Who do you prefer ROS: Thor or Carrasco?

Paul Sporer

1:18

Thor (get better soon, Carlos!)

Ryan

1:18

Jake Bauers - What the heck?

Paul Sporer

1:18

He's un-good. I was wrong about him delivering some late value
