Joe

12:17

Is Dominic Smith worthy of fantasy consideration?

Paul Sporer

12:18

The skills have been fantastic! If he finds his way into major playing time, he could be a big time fantasy player

Zach Attack

12:18

Which surprising catcher has the most staying power: J McCann, R Perez, or Severino?

Paul Sporer

12:19

That McCann BABIP haaaaaaassss to come down, but I think there are some nice power gains. Perez's power seems pretty bankable, too, at least as a low-end C

Norman

12:20

Do you like Loudres Gurriel, Bryan Reynolds, or Michael Conforto most as an OF option rest of season?

Paul Sporer

12:21

Interesting group there. I'd lean toward Conforto.

Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe

12:21

When is the last time you thought about Mariano Duncan?

Paul Sporer

12:21

Milliseconds ago when I read that

jacks

12:21

Standard AL Only - $7 Hunter Dozier enough for a $31 Aroldis and an expiring contract ($8) Matt Chapman? (Thanks as always for all the work you do!)

Paul Sporer

12:21

I dig Dozier, but I think I gotta get more than that. A prospect perhaps, but definitely need more

Tim

12:22

In a keep forever dynasty league, who wins the trade of Khris Davis for Robbie Ray?

Paul Sporer

12:22

No true winner. That's a perfectly fair deal

First Timer

12:22

Are you concerned with Arenado's recent slump? Maybe significant regression 2nd half?

Paul Sporer

12:22

0% worried

Turgid

12:22

About to take your advice on Strahm and pick him up for his dominant 2nd half. Please stop giving up so many homers...

Paul Sporer

12:23

Correct, the only way he can greatly exceed expectations is to keep the ball in the park more

Poncho

12:23

If one side needs offense, and the other needs saves, is Joey Gallo for Kimbrel a pretty fair deal?

Paul Sporer

12:24

I think it's better for the one getting Gallo

The Mistro

12:24

In an AL only league and looking for saves. Who is a NL reliever that might come over at the trade deadline as a speculative add?

Paul Sporer

12:24

Will Smith? Or like everyone in the SF bullpen

Brian24

12:25

Thanks for the chat Paul! 12-team 5x5 roto w OBP. I have Andrelton Simmons and Jake Lamb coming off the IL this week, and Hiura getting called up. Which 3 should I cut? Candidates are Profar, Cesar Hernandez, Kole Calhoun, DDS, JBJ, Kyle Schwarber, and Simmons and Lamb.

Paul Sporer

12:27

Lamb, DDS, and Calhoun. There's a lot of overlap there so you gotta play some favorites between JBJ-Schwarber-Calhoun, Simmos-Profar-Hernandez

underserviced league

12:27

you see swarzak or minter over taking jackson? which one?

Paul Sporer

12:27

No I see them making a move for someone who takes the job

Bat Flipper

12:27

When do your next SP rankings come out?

Paul Sporer

12:27

Early next week

Neal

12:27

My Paddack for Corey Seager? Deep 30 team std roto dynasty and I’m not competing until 2021 most likely. Looking to move my few good arms for building block bats.

Paul Sporer

12:27

I can get behind that. I'm a little nervous on Seager, but he's still a good long term investment

Broken Bat

12:29

Alozay of Cubs in nobody’s top prospect lists. Injury concern probably driving factor in this. However, he has missed a lot of bats, mixed in a good change and hit 96. Is he the Adrenalin kick the Cubs needed. A RH that can go 6-7 innings with quality stuff IYO. He has shown punch out ability but gone full count on far too many hitters. What do you expect for this year and next? To me, Cubs will need to send Quintana to pen with Monty struggling and balance SP with RH especially with Hendricks on mend. thoughts?

Paul Sporer

12:30

I think injuries last yr pushed him down Cubs lists, but he's got some great stuff. I see the Cubs using him in a flexible role sometimes with an opener, sometimes as a multi-inning fireman in high leverage in the 6th or later, and sometimes starting

Guest

12:30

Joe Musgrove or Eduardo Rodrigues ros?

Paul Sporer

12:30

Still sticking by Musgrove

Pie Eaton Contest

12:31

In an OBP/SLG league would you prefer Altuve or Moose and how close is it?

Paul Sporer

12:32

I lean Altuve, but it's a lot closer than most probably realize as Moose has been really good this year

Moop

12:32

What's the latest you are hearing about Casey Mize?

Paul Sporer

12:32

Nothing lately, last news was Tigers were optimistic

John

12:32

Yamamoto or Gallen ros?

Paul Sporer

12:33

Gallen by a shred - a Fireside on those very same SPs: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/the-sleeper-and-the-bust-episode-708-...

Rick

12:33

Hiura worth adding if it means dropping Bryan Reynolds?

Paul Sporer

12:35

Reynolds has some legitimacy and he could definitely match or out-do Hiura, but I think I'd prefer Hiura. We're playing the percentages and he's got the better overall profile
