Yeah, you gotta use him as SP and look elsewhere for SVs right now

Mr. Fister

2:25

Astros getting plunked three times yesterday.....just shitty pitching, right? Either way, I like it.

Paul Sporer

2:28

Didn't seem intentional, but you really shouldn't like it. That's really bizarre and messed up. Chucking baseballs at dudes, even dudes who cheated, is about the biggest bitch move you can make, especially when some operate under this comically stupid idea that they're the only team that cheats. I'm not absolving them, but these teams better make sure they're own house is clean before they start throwing baseballs at ppl. Hell, we've already heard of cheating stuff from other teams, including one of the teams crying most about Houston. Don't root for beanball wars, it's remarkably stupid and it makes you look incredibly petty

Thanks for chatting, Spo. Drop Hilliard for Franchy?

Paul Sporer

2:28

You're welcome! Definitely keep Hilliard over Franchy

Rizzzzuto

2:29

Is Evan White worth a bench/UTIL spot in deep league or was hot summer camp a fluke?

Paul Sporer

2:29

I think he is, yes. I'm intrigued by him and actually wanted him in my 12-teamer last night, but had too many bench bats already. Really like him in 15-teamers or AL Only

Supernintendo Chomers

2:29

Canning last start encouraging. Worth my final P spot in a vacuum?

Paul Sporer

2:29

Yep, looking healthy which is my only question with him. I love the talent.

Harry

2:30

Who do you like at 2B in a roto league, Wong or David Fletcher? OBP league. Thanks

Paul Sporer

2:30

Gimme Kolten. Fletcher has some interest as a bench bat with insane eligibility and great contact skills, but he's pretty bland fantasy-wise

Mr. Fister

2:30

The DH is here to stay, right? Please say yes!

Paul Sporer

2:31

I certainly think so, as it should be

Harry

2:31

Would you drop Buxton for either Kyle Lewis or Chris Taylor?

Paul Sporer

2:31

Hang onto Buxton for now. He's progressing well and has much higher fantasy upside than those 2

Guest

2:31

Now that Alvarez isn't going to start the season on time, is Kyle Tucker now a top-30 outfielder?

Paul Sporer

2:32

Best I can do is top 40. Alvarez isn't out for the year and they still like Reddick, for some reason

Karl

2:32

With the short season I feel like having a guy like Grichuk on my bench isn't the best use of a spot, and I could stream or look for more upside and get the same production. Is how you're creating your bench changed since it's a short season?

Paul Sporer

2:33

I don't know that he's an inherently bad option. He runs pretty hot & cold so when he gets going, he's the perfect guy to stream in during his run.

Richard

2:33

Slim pickings at 1B, would you drop Vogelbach for Evan White or Nate Lowe?

Paul Sporer

2:33

Gimme White over Vogey

Big Tuna

2:33

What do you make of Yoshi Tsutsugo? Hitting lead off vs RHP and eligible at 3B/OF has piqued my interest.

Paul Sporer

2:34

Definitely interested in him as his bat seems pretty strong. Playing time will be sketchy w/TB, but if he rakes, he'll at least earn strong side platoon work. Worthy option in most formats

Salty

2:34

Dynasty question - does a player like Hoskins take a value hit if he turns into a DH-only player (assuming the NL keeps the DH long-term)?

Paul Sporer

2:35

A little, but guys like Cruz, healthy Khris Davis, and Yordan Alvarez hold big value as UT-only and Hoskins can certainly fit into that grouping if he's raking

Big Tuna

2:35

Jose Peraza. Top notch speed. Revamped swing. 26 years old. Starting 2B. Eligible at 2B/SS/OF. Shouldn’t he be owned in most 12 team leagues in case he’s for real?

Paul Sporer

2:36

Eh, I think I understand why more ppl are playing the wait-and-see. His bat has never been any good so believing it before seeing it isn't something I'm terribly interested in.

Matt

2:37

I need a waiver wire 1B temporarily. Why do you think Depth Charts has Thames at ~40 games? He should be full time 1B with closer to 50-55, no?

Paul Sporer

2:37

They'll face more than 5-10 lefty starters and he's a straight platoon so 40-45 makes more sense

Guest

2:37

Greinke up to 80 pitches last night is a relief, right? Any lingering concern about starting him in his opener?

Paul Sporer

2:37

Nope, I've learned not to worry about him in spring training stuff

Matt W.

2:37

Mookie making the money 12 years $350 million

Paul Sporer

2:37

Deserved af

Harry

2:38

Betances is a name but are guys like Karinchak, Tyler Rogers better SV/HLD options and ratio guys?

Paul Sporer

2:38

Might be better only in that they're cheaper, but I still think Betances is a strong option for SV/HD

Life is a pitch

2:39

What convinced you to move Luis Castillo into the top 10 in your pitcher rankings?

Paul Sporer

2:39

A few guys moving down plus being in that Central division

Guest

2:39

In a 14-team CBS Points Only Keep 5 League... Wondering which side of the trade you have. McCullers Jr/Correa for Gallen/Gurriel.

Gurriel Jr I should specify

Paul Sporer

2:39

Gimme the two Astros, but it's a fair deal. I love Gurriel Jr., but the risk seems to be tilted heavily toward the Gallen/Gurriel Jr. side
