I haven't ever played Halo. I'm almost exclusively a sports-gamer player and even then, it's primarily MLB The Show

Reed

1:14

Thanks for the chat. 14 team 10x10, after the deadline I have Lindor, Santana, Reyes and Puig all on CLE. Problem?

Paul Sporer

1:14

Nope. I mean it'd suck if they went on a huge cold streak offensively, but I don't worry about team stacking

Nick

1:14

Will Smith through 48 PAs is tied with Oscar Mercado and Victor Robles in WAR. Could he be, say, a top 3 catcher next year?

Paul Sporer

1:15

Whoa, let's be careful here. It's 48 PA! He's a very interesting backstop, but I'm not ready to tab him top 3 off this tiny sample

Hi There

1:15

sell high on morton or enjoy the likely low 3 era ros?

Paul Sporer

1:15

If you really help your team by selling, then by all means, but I wouldn't sell JUST to sell

Guest

1:17

I dropped Segura for Bichette. Am I nuts?

Paul Sporer

1:18

I'd imagine it's a shallower league, so no it's not *nuts*, but it might not really pan out as anything more than a neutral move

Seamus Catuli

1:18

Does MLB change the ball back next year and then we are all scrambling because no one has the power we thought they did?

Paul Sporer

1:18

I wish they'd tell me. Impossible to know for sure

Dennis Quaid from The Rookie

1:19

In on Trent Grisham?

Paul Sporer

1:21

He was brilliant in the minors, but I'm not sure where the regular playing time comes from unless he really starts cutting into LoCain's time. Deeeeep mixers or NL only right now

Rocco

1:22

Does Aguilar become again the 2018 version w/ TB?

Paul Sporer

1:24

He kinda has been over the last 54 PA (.993 OPS, 3 HR), but that's not a huge sample. I think he'll be solid (.800s OPS with pop), but I wouldn't *expect* 2018

Dave

1:24

I'm thinking of offering either Kiermaier or Buxton in trade to acquire a decent SP. Who would you favor keeping (no retention league) or is it flip a coin?

Paul Sporer

1:24

I think Buxton would draw more in the market so I'd lean toward selling him

Are Odorizzi's struggles recently just a natural regression, or do you think his early success was a mirage?

Paul Sporer

1:27

Mostly just natural regression, IMO. As long as they continue to focus on using him only 2 times through, I think he'll remain mixed league viable the rest of the way (mid-to-high 3.00s ERA, good W probability, and strong Ks)

n/a

1:27

Hi, Paul. One NA spot on our rosters, can keep for next year. Lux or Adell?

Paul Sporer

1:27

Adell

I'm in an 8 man league. am i a super scrub or just regular scrub?

Paul Sporer

1:29

Not a scrub at all. The idea that a deeper league is inherently better is stupid. It's all fantasy baseball and each league structure has its own challenges. A superstar-laden league can be really tough to do valuations in bc you see so much talent on the wire. I used to be a league-shaming douche and act like anything less than a 25-team AL Central only league using only players that have an "S" in their name was automatically better than a standard 10-teamer, but I finally realized how dumb that was. Play what you play and enjoy it! I'd do a 6 team league if I only had 5 friends that played.

Thanks Paul—love the chats.

Paul Sporer

1:30

You're welcome! I really appreciate y'all coming out.

1:31

I do have to get going, but hopefully y'all enjoyed going a bit longer. We're in the stretch run with just two months left so it's no time to slack off. I'll have SP ranks out Monday! I'll be gone next Friday so I'll try to move my chat to Thursday as I don't want to miss any down the stretch for y'all!

Thanks so much for coming out! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Instagram (p_sporer). I’ll be streaming on Twitch later today and you can definitely come by and ask questions about fantasy there. Have a great weekend!
