So Sonny Gray is just murdering guys now. At home at GAB, on the road in Coors or Miller Park, It doesn’t matter. Gonna be a big mover in your next rankings?

Paul Sporer

12:51

Ya for sure

Don Juan

12:52

In a standard 12 teamer, is it reasonable to drop Conforto if you have other needs? Just feels bad to actually drop him...

Paul Sporer

12:52

Surely you can cut someone else, no? I can't get rid of him

father padre

12:53

Should I keep the faith and hang on to Andres Munoz?

Paul Sporer

12:54

In hopes that he closes or just for the Ks? I'm not sure Yates gets moved so I wouldn't bank on Munoz for anything but good Ks

Dave Kingman

12:54

Just lost Gallo until who knows when. How do you feel about Calhoon as his replacement? Will be get ample playing time?

Paul Sporer

12:55

I love Calhoun so I'm down with this move. He should play quite a bit

Bartolo

12:56

In an AL-Only, if you could stash NL players in advance of the deadline, who would be your top 3 guys to stash?

Paul Sporer

12:57

Thor, Ray, Bum

Cito's Mustache

12:57

Carson Kelly or D'Arnaud a better stop-gap for Sanchez?

Paul Sporer

12:59

I'd probably see who has the most scheduled lefties in the near future and go for him as they both crush lefties and flop v. righties

Guest

Do the Yankees shut down German? If not, do they shorten his outings to a max of 5 IP or use him as a bulk RP after the opener? He's within a couple innings of last year's IP.

Paul Sporer

1:00

I think they'll control his innings for sure, I could see it happening by way of the bullpen

Nicholas

1:01

Should I buy low on Bryce Harper in my dynasty league? Is he still a building block?

Paul Sporer

1:01

If you can get him on a real discount, do it!!

Bert

1:02

Thoughts on Kieboom as a dynasty asset?

Paul Sporer

1:02

He's still pretty intriguing, I'd buy

Jeremy

1:03

Odor or Gennett's production for the ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:03

Gennett for me

north siders

1:03

Is Yu Darvish for real or does the clock strike midnight soon?

Paul Sporer

1:05

I think it's pretty real, but in fairness I've always been a Darvish believer

Logan

1:07

In year 3 of a 16 team points dynasty rebuild, I have a legit shot at a championship for the first time.

With that in mind, do I need to keep running Trevor Richards out there or can I drop him for Deivi Garcia?

Paul Sporer

1:08

Don't necessarily have to keep running Richards out, but I'm not THAT keen on Garcia for 2019 at least

iimd

1:10

Dickerson was struggling with back tightness that he says is chronic, over the years.

Paul Sporer

1:10

Re: Alex Dickerson earlier ... that would explain why he wasn't playing regularly despite them facing lefties

Richard

1:12

Do you think the A's will build Montas back up in case they need him that last week of the season, or will they shut him down?

Paul Sporer

1:13

I mean, they might need some innings out of him to get to the playoffs so I could see it... might be extended RP stints instead of starts, though

Mooshi

1:13

How desperately do the Rays need a big bat? V Robles and his .315 OBP hitting at the bottom of the Nats order has more runs scored than Tommy Pham (.370 OPB) hitting 2nd for the Rays. Yikes

Paul Sporer

1:13

Yiiiiiikes

Matt

1:13

I cut Sonny Gray after like his 8th start. Since then,he's halved his ERA, but his WHIP, increased his K%...

Paul Sporer

1:13

I cut German Marquez in late-June last year lol

Stefani Germanotta

1:13

Could you and me write a bad romance?

Paul Sporer

1:14

Ra-ra-ah-ah-ah, Roma Roma-ma

Fangraph's lurker

1:14

Gallo droppable now in a 10 team nonkeeper?

Paul Sporer

1:14

Sadly :(

Chas

1:15

Vlad Sedler says Will Smith is a top-10 catcher now with the call up . Your thoughts? I've been streaming with guys like Jansen, Brian McCann, whatever.

Paul Sporer

1:15

Like I said, I'm reluctant to dive in on rookie Cs, but I understand the interest in Smith. I'd stick with Jansen, tbh

Ryan

1:15

Is Scooter still good at baseball?

Paul Sporer

1:16

50 PA certainly isn't enough for me to say he isn't
