which currently ILed RP/SP will make the most impact ROS...glasnow, peacock, or stripling?

Paul Sporer

12:30

I'd rank Strip/Peacock well ahead of Glasnow as his outlook just doesn't look good right now

Don Juan

12:31

Will Julio Urias transition to starting?

Paul Sporer

12:31

Probably not this year

Dan

12:31

Hey Paul! I have a roster crunch coming with Ozuna coming off the IL. I need to drop one of Andrus, Hunter Dozier, Franmil. Trade deadline passed so I can’t trade anyone.

Paul Sporer

12:31

I'd lean Andrus unless you need his SBs

baseballdude

12:32

danny santana a good bat to ride out ROS at 2b (or 3b, or SS, or 1b, or OF)?

Paul Sporer

12:32

Ya he's been fantastic and the flexibility only makes him more appealing

Brian

12:33

Are you buying Ketel Marte's breakout or are you looking to sell high? H2h points dynasty league where I already have Altuve at 2b so I'm playing Marte at OF.

Paul Sporer

12:34

I buy what he's done this year, it's well-supported by the metrics. As far as how it will be next year, I'd obviously tab this as a career year and regress him down from there, but I don't think this is a fluke. While they aren't a 1:1, I feel like I'll be into Marte's breakout the way I was with Muncy coming into this year

Never trust LA

12:34

How excited are you about Dustin May's debut?

Paul Sporer

12:34

Pretty excited, tbh!!

baseballdude

12:35

mckay worth holding ROS or will we continue to see promotion/demotion and no more than 5 inning outings?

Paul Sporer

12:36

I'm still holding. There's nice strikeout upside and they may have to stretch him out a bit to win key games down the stretch

baseballdude

12:38

pollock startable ROS in a 3 OF, 1 UTIL point league?

Paul Sporer

12:38

Ya, I think so

Will Graham

12:38

How many starts does Dustin May get the rest of the season? Or does he drift over into the bullpen?

Paul Sporer

12:39

Impossible to say with LA, I wish I had a better answer, but I can't pretend to know

michk54

12:39

What are your thoughts on Roark in Oakland?

Paul Sporer

12:39

Solid move by OAK and the park definitely helps. Viable in most formats... at least a streamer in 10-teamers and then rosterable in 12 and beyond

Scott TINSTAAPP

12:40

If season ended today, who are you taking as number 1 pitcher in redraft?

Paul Sporer

12:40

I think I'd take Cole if he re-signs with Houston

Sean

12:41

6x6 with SLG and OBP instead of AVG. McCann, D'Arnaud or Will Smith at C rest of the season?

Paul Sporer

12:43

I'd choose between d'Arnaud and Smith. I'm usually cautious with rookie Cs but Smith might be an anomaly. He's been amazing so far. I still think I'd lean TdA.

Quadrangular

12:43

Paul, hoping you can help put my chances into perspective here. For a 13 team roto league, I currently need to makeup +12 runs, +2 HRs, +3 steals, +.003 OBP, +40Ks, +2 Wins, -.030 ERA, and -.01 WHIP in order to win. Are these reasonable margins to cover over the final stretch or is it utterly unrealistic?

Paul Sporer

12:44

The Ks and Rs are definitely the toughest but all the others are super possible. The Rs are definitely more viable than Ks

Dave in London

12:44

Will the switch to the AL hurt Grienke's fantasy value, or should we expect his continued excellence this season?

Paul Sporer

12:45

Nah, not really. Marginal gains and drops based on park and league and all that, but he's still a stud

Dave

12:45

Who goes higher in 2020 drafts-- Julio Urias or Dustin May?

Paul Sporer

12:45

Really depends how they finish, tbh

Kevin

12:45

You like Bauer's #s to rebound going to CIN? Still buying in dynasty leagues?

Paul Sporer

12:45

I like the move to the NL for some extra Ks. I am still buying in dynasty

Kevin

12:45

Is Yamamoto ever a top-30 SP?

Paul Sporer

12:46

Very unlikely

Benny

12:46

Will Nate Lowe be back soon? Worth holding in a 12-team mixed?

Paul Sporer

12:47

I'd probably pass in 12-team as they seem more set with Choi/Aguilar as a 1B platoon. I like Lowe, but they aren't at all committed to him

Kevin

12:47

What do the Dodgers do with Seager/Turner/2B with Lux knocking on the door?

Paul Sporer

12:48

I imagine it'll be addressed in the offseason somehow, though they might just keep all the depth. These things tend to play themselves out via injury and the two vets you named are no strangers to the IL

Tim

12:48

Adell for Hiura in a dynasty roto league?

Paul Sporer

12:48

Perfectly fair
