Going to pick up Verdugo for the rest of the Colorado series, but do you think he could have a big 2nd half? Betting 2nd for the Dodgers is a nice spot

Paul Sporer

12:55

I'm a huge Verdugo fan and I think he can be a nice glue guy in a fantasy OF. He's almost certainly better in real life than fantasy, but if the power develops a bit, then he can be a fantasy stud, too

12 team 5x5. Saves are very elusive. Any reason to continue to wait on Leclerc?

Paul Sporer

12:57

They still seem to want him back in that role. I'd hold out a bit longer if I'm desperate for the saves

Darren

12:57

Eflin is obviously performing way above his head. Do you expect ROS to be similar to last season, or as bad as his FIP/xFIP/SIERA suggest (which would be a fair bit worse than last year)?

Paul Sporer

12:58

I'm most concerned about the homers. The LOB% rate will come down a bit at 82%, but the real question is whether or not he can keep the ball in the park

Casey Jones

12:58

Greinke for Altuve fair if I need Ks and BA?

Paul Sporer

12:58

That is fair, yes

Marc

12:58

Thoughts on Riley's current slump?

Paul Sporer

12:58

Twas expected

ILH

12:59

Luis Urias the next impact bat to stash in all formats?

Paul Sporer

12:59

I think so, yes. I love Urias!

Dalman

12:59

Any idea why the White Sox haven't put Anderson on the dl yet. Looked like 10 days easy based on reports.

Paul Sporer

1:00

Not sure, but they will prob do it ahead of tonight's game

Webster

Austin Riley done or just a slump?

Paul Sporer

1:01

My point re: his slump being expected is that no one stays that hot. It's his turn to make the adjustment. The power is still there, too, so it's not even some awful slump

PAL

1:01

Willie Calhoun = post hype breakout candidate? Do you think he keeps getting everyday playing time RoS?

Paul Sporer

1:02

Yes and yes. I like Urias a little more, but he and Calhoun are two of my favorite prospects

Jim Leyland Palmer

1:03

Paul, what's your Matt Boyd trade prediction?

Paul Sporer

1:04

I so hope it happens bc they'd get a haul and I think it's necessary for the rebuild. Not sure they'll get the Quintana-esque haul they're seeking, but getting something just short of it would work, too

Re: Calhoun getting everyday playing time ROS... who loses playing time assuming a fully healthy squad?

Paul Sporer

1:07

Good Q. Ronald Guzman, probably, though that'd complicate the CF situation. That's a very good pt and could stifle Calhoun's time a bit. That said, these things often play themselves out either with another injury or underperformance from someone

OK y'all. That's going to wrap us up for the day! Thanks so much for coming out! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Snapchat (psporer). I’ll be streaming on Twitch later today and you can definitely come by and ask questions about fantasy there. Have a great weekend!
