My chat has moved to Wednesday! Let's roll!

Kevin

1:27

Does Michael Lorenzen intrigue you as a CF with, let's say, 300 plate appearances in a deep league (15 team or deeper)?

Paul Sporer

1:29

I'm kind of intrigued, but it'd have to be a deeper league I think

I love that he's a legit two-way player, though

Guest

1:29

To start Thor today, or not, that is the question.

Paul Sporer

1:30

Ughhh, it's so hard. I'm actually starting him in my leagues so with that what you will

Ben

1:30

How are you valuing J-Ram over the next couple years in keeper/dynasty formats?

Paul Sporer

1:30

Still pretty highly. He's a 2nd-3rd round value for sure.

Neal

1:31

Paul - Two guys I bought relatively high, Johan Camargo and Jose Peraza, have been pretty, pretty disappointing. It’s 30 team dynasty so I’m not dumping them, but is there much reason to hope for 2020 bouncebacks?

Paul Sporer

1:33

Peraza is only 26 so I could see some kind of bounceback, though admittedly I've never been a fan. At least he has the speed component. With the rabbit ball, Camargo's value is tanked unless he taps into some more power that gets him into the upper-20s somehow

Aquino

1:34

You giving up on Aquino for the rest of the year as an elite must start guy for the playoffs?

Paul Sporer

1:35

As elite, perhaps, but I'm still starting him

Is Mitch Keller gonna get helium'd next draft season? Getting Nick Pivetta vibes (but in a good way)

Paul Sporer

1:38

I don't think he'll be helium'd to a cost prohibitive level, but I could see him being a popular sleeper

Wardo

1:38

I don't have a question, I'd just like to thank Yordan Alvarez for the fact that I'm the finals in my H2H categories league... lord, that man can mash

Paul Sporer

1:39

He's so good. Where are y'all gonna take him next year, especially as UT-only? He went 33rd in Justin's Too Early Mocks

Richard

1:40

Safe to stream Mike Leake today or hell no?

Paul Sporer

1:40

Gotta go for him against Miami

Oddball Herrera

1:40

Buying Flaherty as a top 8-12 pitcher for 2020? Or is that too rich

Paul Sporer

1:42

He'll move up when I update my SP rankings, but not quite that high - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/top-30-sp-rankings-for-2020/

Hank

1:42

Do you trust Boyd in his last two match-ups this season against CWS once he returns or time to move on? Worried about ERA risk.

Paul Sporer

1:42

If you're in a precarious ERA position, I'd pass. HRs are the quickest way to tank an ERA

Matt

1:42

Does Strasburg get some NL Cy Young love? BP's WARP has him as the most valuable player in the National League(barely edging out Bellinger)

Paul Sporer

1:43

For sure, he is a legitimate Cy contender!

1:43

Need to choose three more for next year 16 tm H2H next year w/ OBP, TB, QS. I have Vlad, Eloy and Soto at rounds 25, 24, 23 thanks to stashing.

Christian Yelich (rd 2 - year 2), Aaron Nola (3 - year 2), JT Realmuto (9 - year 2), DJ Lemahieu (10 - year 1), Blake Snell (12 - year 2), Jack Flaherty (21 - year 2), Nate Lowe (25 - year 1), Artistedes Aquino (25 - year 1), Zach Wheeler (25, year 2)

Paul Sporer

1:43

Yelich, Snell, Flaherty

Catcher Streamer

1:44

How confirmed are you about the LAD Will Smith slump? Where is he on your catcher list for next year after the last few weeks?

Paul Sporer

1:44

I had him 6th - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/top-25-catchers-for-2020/

Ham

1:45

Obvs the #2Early Mocks are, indeed, too early. But are there players in the Top100 (particularly near the top) that you're absolutely staying away from based on their 2Early ADP?

Paul Sporer

1:48

Bauer for sure. Machado based on price and position depth. Hoskins and Goldy based on cost of other 1B I love (namely Olson & Muncy). Glasnow - he improved and I acknowledge that, but there are other SP going after him that I prefer in comparison (Darvish, Gray, Carrasco, Woodruff)

Richard

1:48

Should I bench Mike Leake vs MIA today? Looking for help with ratios and possibly a W

Paul Sporer

1:48

Gotta pick on Miami

Guest

1:48

Laureano a top 20 OFer next year? His 2019 power and average seem sustainable, and he has realistic (given his MILB stats) room for improvement in OBP and SB

Paul Sporer

1:49

He can be but you don't need to pay that. I love Laureano. He went 33rd at OF in the Too Early Mocks

Halp

1:49

Bench Puig for Nimmo today? Puig has been pretty meh.

Paul Sporer

1:49

Ya, gimme the Coors bat

bleepbloop

1:49

New 7x7 Dynasty league starting next season with standard categories +OBP+SLG for hitters, who are your top 3?

Paul Sporer

1:49

Acuña, Yelich, Trout

last call

1:50

St. Paul, what is your take on Diaz of Mets? Is he now mortal or just a dose of big city blues? Ask Sonny Gray how it felt in NYC. I say he is a much better bet in 2020 to dominate than say Hand who has his elbow barking. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

1:50

I don't think it was a Gray situation. I feel like he's a solid bet to rebound and if I'm getting in the 8-10 range of closer, I'm not against going for him on the rebound
