Do you like Hiura or Mondesi as a second base option after the latter comes back from injury?

Paul Sporer

1:26

Mondesi once he's back bc those SBs are just so valuable

Jake

1:26

More valuable/better outlook for 2020: Sale or Verlander?

Paul Sporer

1:27

I have JV higher: http://fantasy.fangraphs.com/top-30-sp-rankings-for-2020/

Nolan

1:27

Are Lucas Giolito and Sonny Gray top-10 starters next year?

Paul Sporer

1:27

No, that's a bit aggressive: http://fantasy.fangraphs.com/top-30-sp-rankings-for-2020/

Balked

1:27

Is Gleyber underrated? He always shows up as like 12th ranked SS on ESPN for me, but his production has been amazing.

Paul Sporer

1:28

Yes, I think he is. He didn't even go in our Top 45 pick 3-round draft on the pod yesterday: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HgUAiQV5Vqst_ltNzlPpOMRZDd7H7J...

Yep

1:28

I know it's a guesstimate at best. Where do you think you'll rank Severino in 2020 among SP, and then in 2021?

Paul Sporer

1:29

He was an honorable mention, essentially a top 50 guy. Literally 0% clue for 2021

LOSER

1:29

Are you starting Alex Wood at PIT tomorrow?

Paul Sporer

1:29

Yes, I am

Nelson

1:29

Would you buy into this Hunter Pence resurgence as a ultra cheap keeper next year?

Paul Sporer

1:30

Sure, if it's a buck or two, I'm interested

Gila Monster

1:30

Am I the only one who doesn't get the Paddack love? He has struggled in the 2nd half and I think it is more than fatigue. I kinda still see a two-pitch guy with the changeup being good, but not Luis Castillo good. So, I see K-rate regression coming. Kinda a Kyle Hendricks type fantasy profile.

Paul Sporer

1:33

I just don't see that at all, especially the Hendricks thing. It's really 2 bad starts (at LAD, at PHI) pushing his 2H numbers up. He still has 34 Ks in 32.7 IP. Sure, his changeup isn't Castillo's (who's is?), but it's two strong pitches and a developing third. Paddack is a beast in the making.

Bob

1:33

Do you like Civale or Logan Webb more ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:34

Lean Civale, open to streaming both

Turgid

1:35

I don't like keeping pitchers but $1 Ryu and $5 Giolito are absolute no-brainers right?

Paul Sporer

1:35

10000%

1:35

Musgrove looks to have some good matchups in September, but is he just too risky to use in the playoffs?

Paul Sporer

1:37

I'm open to streaming him in the STL, SF, SEA games, but I fully understand the blow up risk so he's not atop my streaming list

Lop

1:37

Am I crazy for valuing $1Semien over $24 Seager in an OBP keeper league? I can do a lot with the extra cash if I believe Semien’s BB improvement is sustainable

Paul Sporer

1:38

Not crazy at all, I'd definitely do that

Turgid

1:38

Currently holding Garver and Will Smith. Going to drop one when H2H playoffs start in two weeks. Today Smith has be the keeper right?

Paul Sporer

1:38

He does, yes

Zingbot

1:39

Start 1, Flaherty @MIL,Madbum vs SD or Marquez vs boston and pitt

Paul Sporer

1:39

Gimme Flaherty

Trout Cannons

1:40

Basically in a 3 way tie for first, would you trade Scherzer for Bieber to mitigate any potential injury risk and loss of starts? Have Cole JV Kershaw Castillo as well

Paul Sporer

1:46

Man, that's tough. I think I'm open to it. They both have 7 starts and pretty good matchups, but the injury and potential to miss starts lingers off Max as you mention

Buck Farmer in the Dell

1:46

Can Willie Calhoun keep up this hot streak through September?

Paul Sporer

1:48

I mean, I don't know that he'll stay THIS hot, but I think he'll remain productive

Riker

1:48

Kingry or Arraez ros?

Paul Sporer

1:48

Kingery does more, but if you ONLY need AVG, go for Arraez

Jake

1:49

How much of sale being 6 on that 2020 SP list is due to his injury?

Paul Sporer

1:49

He wasn't hurt yet when I made the list

Glenn Spankman

1:51

Is Corey Dickerson a sneaky good option for the stretch run? He's finally back in a band box with the bouncy fun ball after the TB & PIT years

Paul Sporer

1:51

I think so, yes, and he's in the heart of the lineup which is nice, too

Alexander

1:51

2 of my traditional roto leagues that are keeper and dynasty have become very stale with one guy crushing everyone by basically killing the draft and then cycling his bottom 5-7 roster spots on players each day. Is it bad to want to implement FAAB next season or is this a suck it up and do better type of deal. Not everyone has the time to go on daily and pick guys with good matchups to stream a chunk of their roster. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:52

If the league has become stale, then making changes is something to greatly consider. I have no issue implementing changes to make the league more competitive, so yes, consider it
