Welcome to my weekly chat! Let's talk some baseball!!!

Kiley

12:03

will you really wait in line with me for Franklin’s

Paul Sporer

12:03

When we doin it?

zzxzx

12:03

I need to activate Wheeler. Who do I drop: Pagan, Eovaldi, C Martin or Bummer. I have a tenuous grasp on 1st place and there’s a cluster of teams with similar Saves as me. Thank you!

Paul Sporer

12:04

I'd probably get rid of Martin

Kiley

12:04

don’t tease me bro

Paul Sporer

12:04

I've never done the stand-in-line thing, I'm down

Balked

12:04

Do you think Taylor Rogers will be Minnesota's closer after the trade deadline?

Paul Sporer

12:04

I'm like 52% on that

Balked

12:04

Would you deal Correa for Flaherty if you already have Torres and Tatis to fill SS?

Paul Sporer

12:05

I'd aim for a bit better arm, but it's not terrible

Is Danny Santana an every day 2B now. Is he a consistent better option than Robbie Cano now?

Paul Sporer

12:06

I'm OK using him over Cano

5x5 Dynasty League, Keep Forever w/ $2 salary inflation each year. My team was completely derailed by injuries so I decided to build for the future. Traded my $63 Altuve, $16 Hader, and $4 Luke Jackson for his $3 Fernando Tatis Jr., $3 Brendan McKay, and $2 Byron Buxton. How'd I do?

Paul Sporer

12:06

I love that for you!!!

Matt

12:07

Ya boy Reynaldo Lopez recently brought his curveball back after ditching it since 2017, have we talked about this being a reason for his recent success?

Paul Sporer

12:09

Talked about it a bit on a recent Fireside. You know I love him!

Mez

12:09

If the Bucs do start selling, who do you think will go? Would they part w Polanco or even Marte?

Paul Sporer

12:10

I doubt they do a full sell off. I could see maybe ONE of the OFs, but not both

Tom

12:10

What do you think of Will Smith, Dodgers version ROS?...would picking him up entice you to trade Realmuto for needs?

Paul Sporer

12:10

I don't generally mess with rookie Cs. I wouldn't want to rely too much on him

12:11

Paul, thanks as always. I’m trying to get keepers in order before the deadline and final stretch. In a 12-tm mixed roto, $260 budget, could you rank the following for next year: J. Soto - $20, W. Buehler - $20, L. Castillo - $20, M. Chapman - $12, B. McKay - $10, B. Woodruff - $10, A. Meadows - $9, J. Bell - $6

Paul Sporer

12:12

Bell, Chapman, Soto, Buehler/Castillo are my faves

Big Tuna

12:13

I have to drop somebody to activate Wheeler. Should I still hold Dyson as a potential SV option in SF or is Smith gonna stay? (Can also drop Mikolas)

Paul Sporer

12:13

Those idiots are gonna add so just cut Dyson lol

Mike

12:14

Is Fried worth a pick up and hold with the fantasy playoffs slowly approaching? Feel like he has to be coming up on an innings caps within the next 2-3 starts

Paul Sporer

12:14

I think you just play it start-to-start w/him instead of mapping out any long-term expectations

Mike

12:15

Sitting pretty in 1st in a shallow h2h OPS league- but have Mondesi Gallo and now Snell hitting the IL for extended periods. Are you holding all of them? Sounds like they are all out for significant lengths of time...only to come back around the fantasy playoffs and shake the rust off. What do you think?

Paul Sporer

12:16

In a redraft, I'm open to cutting Gallo, tbh

OddBall Herrera

12:16

Does the addition of Tyler White put the kibosh on our Gavin Lux dreams, barring an injury.

Paul Sporer

12:18

I thought it was always a slight chance anyway

Cito's Mustache

12:18

Stroman’s fantasy value, as an extreme GB pitcher, would get the biggest boost by a trade to: ________.

Paul Sporer

12:18

San Francisco, lol

Mike

12:20

is it a coin flip for playing time as to what the brewers plan to do with shaw and hiura?

Paul Sporer

12:21

Shaw can also play 1B & 3B so I don't think he'll completely cut Hiura's playing time

vcoheda

12:21

the trade deadline is very close. almost no trades of interest hasve occurred. does it pass quietly or is there a flurry of big trades. if the latter, which big names get moved?

Paul Sporer

12:22

I'm more and more concerned that we're getting a dud. We did discuss a group of SPs and where they might go on the latest pod: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/the-sleeper-and-the-bust-episode-720-dea...

seth r

12:22

Altuve or Harper ROS?

Paul Sporer

12:23

Harper

Cito's Mustache

12:25

Should I start Wheeler tonight in shallow leagues with a cap on pitcher starts? Just worried about some rust/pitch count but it is the Pirates...
