What are the effects of Hanmatw injuries on power? Matt Olson for example has smashed baseballs since returning from his injury. Is it possible that his power numbers could get better as any lingering effects from the injury go away?

Paul Sporer

1:00

It's not a set effect, but it has sapped power in guys before. That was a concern with Olson, but he has bucked that. I'm not sure he will necessarily get better as it just seems there are no lingering effects from the surgery. Love Olson and I'm glad he's been smashing since returning

Thoughts on Biggio's performance to date? What do you expect from him RoS? Thoughts on long term value? I have been impressed.

Paul Sporer

1:02

Big fan!! https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/power-on-the-rise/ -- Definitely buying him where available

MadBum's Dirt Bike

Redraft league. I'm loaded with bats to the point I have to sit a good hitter every single day and like everyone, need pitching. I'm terrible at trading and trying to figure a fair offer for Snell from among Alonso, Carlos Santana, Devers, Matt Chapman, Matt Olson, Ohtani.

Paul Sporer

1:03

I think any of those is at least fair in a 1-for-1, though Alonso, Devers, and Chapman would be more likely to get it done

Oliver

Thanks for the response re: Soroka v Jansen. I always felt that way too but the whole don’t pay for saves things has been really beaten into me. Part two, would you prefer Aroldis or Jansen?

Paul Sporer

Coinflip between em, I don't have a specific lean

Hey Paul, have any mean Christians hurt you lately? Poor baby.

Paul Sporer

Seager off the IL, but L. Gurriel has been fantastic in his absence. Silly to try to move Seager for MadBum? (14 team points league where we keep 7)

Paul Sporer

1:05

Dealing with the same thing. IL'd Seager and Gurriel was an elite replacement so now I have a little surplus. I'm OK w/Seager-for-Madbum. Could maybe push a little higher, but it's a fair deal

Tiger in the Woods

1:05

Let's say the Tigers sell Boyd for Franimal/Tucker and get a nice package for Greene and Castellanos. Can we compete next year? Or are we 2021 at the earliest?

Paul Sporer

1:05

Probably still 2021 unless severalllll things broke perfectly next year

Chance Sisco

1:07

Is my recent play real or a mirage? I've got the pedigree but not the recent history ...

Paul Sporer

1:07

Definitely over his head at this level, but there's no reason he can't be a viable top 12-15 C rest of season

Todd

1:07

Is Sale enough of a return for Baez in a keep forever OBP league? I need pitching and have a Muncy, Moustakas and Tatis for the rest of my MI spots.

Paul Sporer

1:08

Yes ace for stud bat totally works

Matt Damon

1:08

MATT. DAMON.

Paul Sporer

1:08

Agreed!

Hey paul....thanks again for the chats and the help on social. I'm middle of the pack in steals - who should i give up for Mallex out of these: upton, franimal, olson, walker (can you order them?). It's a 5X5 13 man league with PBP instead of average. I

Paul Sporer

1:10

Ranking them in who I'd want to trade first: Upton, Walker, Franimal, Olson

Matty Millz

1:10

Thoughts on Joe Musgrove’s 2nd half outlook? More inconsistency or we going to truly see the potential, had a few good starts before the break

Paul Sporer

1:11

I'm sticking with him: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/the-sleeper-and-the-bust-episode-710-... Might just be a year early on him, but I still see the upside here

Parrapa

1:11

How much longer to I hold darvish in a 12 teamer?

Paul Sporer

1:13

He's a streamer at this point. I'm still inclined to at least reserve him when I'm not using his start bc there is upside, but if you find someone you like more on the wire, he's cuttable in 10- and 12-teamers

Djmetal

1:13

Is Paddack starting an MLB game in the next 10 days? I can’t find anywhere when his next start is going to be.

Paul Sporer

1:14

RW is saying this weekend, but it's not in bold meaning it's not 100% confirmed: https://www.rotowire.com/baseball/projected-starters.php

Hi Paul, 20-team H2H roto w OBP and SV+H. My pitching is stacked (Kershaw, Ryu, deGrom, Giolito, Paddack) but i’m lacking in RBI & HR. Is Paddack for Calhoun a good idea?

Paul Sporer

1:15

For Willie or Kole Calhoun? Even though he's almost certainly hitting an innings limit, I think he's still worth more than a Calhoun

vcoheda

1:15

i have seen many conflicting reports on who would likely close if giles is traded -- hudson or biagini. your thoughts?

Paul Sporer

1:17

Let me defer to our Bullpen Report on that: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/bullpen-report-trade-primer/

redbirds

1:17

are you as excited about Dylan Carlson as I am?

Paul Sporer

1:18

He's been excellent this year. I can't pretend to be excited about him though as I really only learned about him earlier this season

Sum

1:18

hey Paul! 10 team keeper H@H points. looking to shore up pitching - would you give up McKay and Adalberto at cheap prices for merely affordable Jose Berrios? thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:19

That feels heavy, but I feel like the points league factor probably curbs some of Mondesi's value? I'm sure he still scores, but the SBs just don't matter nearly as much. If that's the case, then I'd be open to pulling the trigger here

Adrian

1:19

Flaherty + a prospect (a Touki Toussaint, or Griffin Canning) for Walker Buehler a fair deal? deep deep 14 teamer

Paul Sporer

1:20

It is fair, yes, though I'd prefer Buehler side

Chris

1:20

I can probably only keep 3 of Musgrove, Stripling, Lucchesi, Kikuchi, Arrieta, and have a wildcard Manaea coming off the DL later this year. Currently leaning towards the first three listed. Keeper league playing for playoffs next year, who would you hold?
