Devin

Should I hold onto Luis Robert or move on?

Paul Sporer

1:17

I'm fine moving on if you need the roster spot as I don't think he's up before Sept. at this pt (if at all)

Jerry

1:17

With Ivan Nova’s recent hot stretch, is he worth picking up?

Paul Sporer

1:21

Man oh man, I dunno. He's been INSANE (.49 ERA, .70 WHIP in 5 starts), but I just don't know how it's going to last espec. at MIN & v. TEX next week. I'm willing to let someone else roll these dice

Paul on Most High! Quinn of Phils is rounding into a solid player, lowering K’s, hitting some taters, and stealing bases. Is he a mirage? Is he someone who can be special?

Paul Sporer

1:22

Longtime Quinn fan but he seems to only start v. LHP so upside is a bit limited right now

gary mack

1:23

Joe Ross - something there or nah?

Paul Sporer

1:24

Yeah I think so. New curve is aiding his success. Has some K upside over what we've seen given an 11% SwStr during this run.

Is Boyd last years Pivetta or Musgrove? A 2 pitch pitcher; Giving up bombs after great April. I cant share all the love. Your thoughts?

Paul Sporer

1:26

Oof, the Pivetta comp is eerily accurate. I think Musgrove has more than 2 pitches, but that's ancillary to the point. This HR barrage from Boyd has been brutal.

Trout Cannons

1:26

Will Smith or Carson Kelly 2020 and beyond?

Paul Sporer

1:26

I lean Smith. Kelly is solid, though, and I'm glad he rebounded after a rough '18. ARI bought low on Weaver & Kelly and if Weaver comes back healthy, that trade is going to be really sharp for them

Firstbase Wasteland

1:27

RE: Bad first base options. This is an OBP league. Miggy C, Hosmer, Desmond, CJ Cron, Lamb, Goodrum, Travis, Beaty are the highest ranked guys left.

Paul Sporer

1:27

Dang, that's tough. A buncha the same stuff, you might just have to play schedules and work it that way instead of just relying on one guy

Terence

1:27

Is Pagan a better option for chasing saves than Shane Greene, Carlos Martinez, or Mark Melancon?

Paul Sporer

1:28

Yes I think so

Trout Cannons

1:28

Is Kyle Tucker a real baseball player, or just a made up fangraphs page?

Paul Sporer

1:28

Saw him live last night, real player!

joe

1:28

can we talk about the season Carlos Santana is having?

Paul Sporer

1:29

Yesssss, what an insane season! I loove what he's doing at age-33. He's always been an OBP god, but the pwr and AVG have been fire

cavebird

1:29

For next week, who would you go with Fried (@Mets (Wheeler)) or Pineda (v.CWS (Detweiler))? (5x5, standard cats, need everything, especially wins). Thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:30

I think I'm going Pineda with the W need being so high. Mets >>> White Sox so that's the deciding factor

baseballdude

1:30

felipe vazquez is dominant but never gets save opportunities and taylor rogers is unpredictable and may be in a committee. should i drop one or both for either hansel robles and/or oberg?

Paul Sporer

1:32

Can't drop Vazquez. I know it's super frustrating but it can flip on a dime and he can have a 4-save week. Too good to cut. I could Rogers for Robles or Oberg, though. Oberg has a series v. MIA at home but then a road trip so now might be a good time to scoop to avoid Coors craziness

Eloy

1:32

Do you expect much of a turnaround for eloy ros? My future faith is high, but...

Thanks for all the chats and pods and content!

Paul Sporer

1:33

I'm not *expecting* a major surge ROS, no. I think he'll continue to have solid power with a chance at going off, but I'm looking more to 2020 and beyond for his excellence

baseballdude

1:33

bo bichette good to start at UTIL ROS in a H2H points league?

Paul Sporer

1:33

I think so, yes

Squid Vicious

1:33

Kluber's coming back soon! Would you start him right out the gate, or wait a start or two?

Paul Sporer

1:34

I'm going with him from the jump

CubFan

1:34

Thoughts on Aaron Sanchez ros/2020? I’ve got him for $5 in 12 team AL only 5x5 keeper league. Thinking $5 might be worth keeping next year, blisters and all.

Paul Sporer

1:34

Ya $5 works in AL Only. He's not going to become Gerrit Cole or anything, but I do think Houston will maximize him and an offseason to work with him intrigues me for 2020

Chris

1:35

Is MadBum back on track to being at least very good ROS / in the next few years, or do you still have serious concerns?

Paul Sporer

1:35

I was actually pretty in on him as far as the industry goes coming into this year, but I have to see where he lands before committing for 2020

1:35

pick one for next week: Jon Gray @ARI, Zac Gallen @MIL, or Eduardo Rodriguez @SD

Paul Sporer

1:38

I only get one?? I guess Gray on the road. I rank them in the order you list em, even with Gallen facing Milwaukee

OK y'all, I gotta get going! 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!
