Paul Sporer

12:45

If it's a 10-teamer, I'm OK moving on tbh

OddBall Herrera

12:45

Dilbert, Dogbert, Catbert, Adbert

Zig

12:45

Re Mercado, who would you consider dropping for him in 10 teamers? Brantley? or lower

Paul Sporer

12:45

Not Brantley, no... gotta be lower

averagejoe

12:46

I sold high on Bryan Reynolds, am I going to regret that given his good exit velocity, but good but not great xstats?

Paul Sporer

12:46

Really depends what ya got, but I'm not against selling high even if someone stays hot

Garth

12:46

You fully buying the Kingery breakout?

Paul Sporer

12:46

I'm buying a good bit of it, he'll obviously cool some, but this is what his big backers were hoping for last year

BigTuna

12:48

Should we be worried about Cain? Sprint speed is down, GB rate is up, stats are down across the board.

Paul Sporer

12:48

Yes I'd say so. He's a focal pt on the pod out later today

nisher

12:52

Would you give up Nola for Glasnow in h2h points? Or is it a hold and wait? Also have Buehler, Corbin, Berrios, Teheran, Chirinos.

Paul Sporer

12:52

I'm fine taking that shot. I'm pretty out on Nola rest of season

Ken Giles Right Hook

12:52

Do you think Montas is heading to Fantasy Ace-dom?

Paul Sporer

12:55

He's certainly on the cusp. He has it all now with 3 reliable pitches including that new splitter. He's a monster and I'm moving him up my rankings seemingly every month

Here's the Story

12:55

Should I be trying to trade Story in a 3-year keeper league? He has 1 year of eligibility left.

Paul Sporer

12:55

Depends on the return, of course. Obviously, the price just went way down, but I'm not entirely averse to it

BigTuna

12:56

Are you stashing Dinelson in a 12 tm? With Pablo doing on DL, he’d need to take up a bench spot until Pablo or Hendricks return.

Paul Sporer

12:57

No, I just don't like guys in their first year back from TJ, especially if he's not a stash DL

Anders

12:57

Is this the Puig turnaround we've been waiting for?

Paul Sporer

1:02

Yes, I knew he wasn't THIS bad and he's been great over his last month-ish: .286/.323/.582, 7 HR, 12 R, 13 RBI, and even 3 SB

1:03

(Sorry for the delay, had a phone call!)

HappyFunBall

re: Kendrick. He tore his Achilles last season and is not young. The Nats simply aren't going to play him full time. Enjoy him in daily leagues where you can check the lineup, and settle for the fact that in weeklies he's just a part timer

Paul Sporer

1:04

Ya that makes sense, plus he's likely to be traded and remain a part-timer unless the Nats go off

Anders

1:04

If Kyle Tucker was called up today, would you drop either of Franmil or H. Dozier for him? H2H points league

Paul Sporer

1:04

I think Dozier is on a rehab assignment, so I'd probably lean to cutting Franmil in that scenario

purplemini

1:05

Luis Rengifo: future regular or AAAA guy or still too soon to tell?

Paul Sporer

1:07

I could see him becoming a second division regular with some AVG and SB usefulness

Guest

1:07

How was a player with a 13 k/9 and 3 ERA in the PCL, from the Cubs org of all teams, chugging along w/ relatively little fanfare like Alzolay was? I mean, to date everyone's been salivating over guys like Cease, with his 4 something ERA and efficiency issues. Is there something in this profile that I'm missing?

Paul Sporer

1:13

It was only 32 IP in the PCL this year and he threw all of 40 IP all of last year so I think the track record just comes up short in comparison to Cease. That said, Cease was a 50 FV by Eric & Kiley while Alzolay was a 45+. I think Cease was seen as having a more direct path. It makes sense for him to been more well thought of in fantasy coming into the season

Kyle tucker

1:13

Am I worth holding in a 12 teamer?

Paul Sporer

1:13

It's certainly debatable, but if you can continue to make it work without hurting your squad, I'd keep him for now

Rob

1:13

12 team H2H. Take a shot on alzolay over Pivetta?

Paul Sporer

1:13

Nah, Pivetta for me

PAL

1:14

Can Brandon Dixon be one of the better waiver wire pickups of the season (in non-OBP leagues, at least)? Garbage plate discipline but legit speed and pop per Statcast (88th percentile sprint speed, .265 xBA, .518 xSLUG, 10.2% Barrels/PA which is top 20 overall)

Paul Sporer

1:18

He's been a pretty solid accumulator, but that HORRID 30% K and 3% BB will tank his AVG (and has already started to with a .234 AVG/.239 OBP). I'd probably get out before it gets tooo bad

1:18

Disappointing Reds OFs: Would you rather buy low on Jesse Winker or (for a tiny bit more) Puig?

Paul Sporer

1:19

If I can still get a discount on Puig, it's definitely him, but I actually like both so I've been holding my shares of the pair

1:20

You highlighted Quantrill in the upcoming SP piece. He is throwing harder and Ks... his recent-year scouting reports have been bad, but as is he farther from injury,is he nowcloser to his original prospect potential? or is he still junk?

Paul Sporer

1:21

Ya, his profile is rising for me. I understand why his prospect status waned, but we're seeing more and more of the pedigree that made him so exciting in the first place

Mike

1:21

What do you think of Wheeler ROS? Metrics suggest better days ahead. But hes giving up a ton of hits and his BABIP isn't that far off his career average
