Hey yall, what's up? Let's talk some baseball!!

Fazio

2:24

Paul, I traded away some SP to build a lineup full of studs and streaming pitchers. What is your thought on the bad starts and potential turnarounds for Bumgarner, Ray, Boyd and Minor?

Paul Sporer

2:27

I have some concerns about the two D'backs (though not enough to cut them right now) and feel like Boyd & Minor will be just fine.

Roy

2:27

Thoughts on Kingery as Phillies resume play? Been terrible so far this year in small sample, but has one of the biggest xWOBA underperformances

Paul Sporer

2:28

I'm barely moving on 11 game samples at this point so I can't really do anything about 4 games

Vegan Man!

2:28

Cut DeJong in 12 team? IL filled with JV and Yordan, and Albies on IL on bench as well... thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:29

Hmm, if you have a starting SS and need to make a move, that's OK in a 12-teamer

Chris

2:29

You buying into jp Crawford?

Paul Sporer

2:31

A bit, yes. Walking more, striking out less, and running. SS is super deep which makes it hard to declare him an all-formats guy, but I'm down to give him a shot where it fits

2:31

In keeper leagues, is it worth waiting for talented but struggling relievers to turn around? Specifically thinking about Edwin Diaz, but it's been very hard to find proper replacements on waivers as well.

Paul Sporer

2:32

In light of closing being an absolute mess at this point, I'm OK to just hang onto Diaz for a bit longer

Neal

2:33

Paul - Should Grisham’s hot start change our long term valuation of him, or too SSS? Related: Him of Franchy in 30 team std roto dynasty? Many thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:33

Grisham by a mile of Franchy even before Grisham's hot start. The samples are still too small to go crazy over, but I'm just not a Franchy believer at this point

Vegan Man!

2:34

Musgrove a drop in 12 team? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:36

For who? I thought he was fine enough in the first two starts and then pretty unlucky against a ridiculously difficult Twins team. Keep him for the start v. DET this weekend at least

IDK

2:37

I want to pick up either Cobb (vsMIA), Dobnak (@PIT), or Houser (@CWS) for their start today, but would have to drop either Tucker, Hicks, or JP Crawford. I'm new to this so any advice would be helpful. Thank you for your time!

Paul Sporer

2:38

Dobnak and probably Crawford given the SS depth (even though I just said something nice about him)

Jim Leyland Palmer

2:38

Do you think we'll see Turnbull overtake Boyd as the Tigers nominal ace (and main trade piece) by the end of the season?

Paul Sporer

2:41

I think they're pretty similar and I'm not sure the Tigers will be looking to deal Turnbull at 27 and still under several years of control

Peter

2:42

Why the heck are the d'backs not giving Varsho a chance? Their line up stinks.

Paul Sporer

2:45

Their lineup has been wretched, but he's also been up for a pretty short period of time. They still want their regulars to break out of their funk

2:47

Deleting the other Musgrove questions since I think I kinda covered it - ride it out through the Detroit start this weekend

Ray

2:47

12 team roto, are you starting Dobnak or Richards tonight?

Paul Sporer

2:47

Dobnak for sure. Richards draws the Dodgers.

Chris

2:48

Is Justin Upton a must drop now that he's in a time share? Calhoun, hicks, adell, cahna and Kyle tucker are available in a points league

Paul Sporer

2:48

Ya with those guys available, I'm cool with it. Grab Adell while you can.

Vegan Man!

2:48

What are you doing with Paxton in 12 teamers? Benching for a start or 2? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:50

I usually play my studs through the storm, but there are very few encouraging signs w/the velo down a ton and Ks plummeting so I'm down to sit him

Peter

2:50

so like who is Jake Cronenworth? Worth a flier in a 12 teamer? I picked him up today to replace Albies at 2B/SS

Paul Sporer

2:53

12 is a little shallow especially since his playing time is limited w/Hosmer out. I guess ride him until the weekend when Hosmer returns and go from there

Big Tuna

2:54

How concerned are you about Eugenio Suarez?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Not at all

Chris

2:54

In a points redraft league would you rather have urias or may as your starting reliever? Do you like one, both or neither in general for 2020?

Paul Sporer

2:54

I prefer Urias, but they're close

Holland

2:57

Is Betances still a viable option in 13 team saves and hold league? What about Castillo?

Paul Sporer

2:57

Ya with Holds, they both are

Raul

2:57

Is Encarnacion (bum shoulder) droppable in 15 team mixed?

Paul Sporer

2:58

I'd wait to see if it's an IL stint coming. Who would you get in his place?

beguiled

2:58

What’s your take on a commissioner that changed minimum faab bid from $1 to $0 last night? Coincidentally (?) same commissioner has the lowest total budget remaining at 45%.

Paul Sporer

2:58

Awful and simply cannot be done. Absolute joke.
