Welcome everyon, thank you for coming out!!

Doug

You would definitely trade Kyle Lewis for Xander Bogaerts in fantasy, right?

Paul Sporer

1:13

10000000000%

Hansel Robles getting that velocity back? Worth a pickup in a 12 tm dynasty.

Paul Sporer

1:16

Ehhhh, maybe if you're DESPERATE for saves, but I'm not trying to get into that situation right now

Jake

1:16

Gausman for real??? How do you see Votto doing ROS ??

Paul Sporer

1:19

Yes, I think there is some legitimacy to Gausman with the velo up and splitter cookin. Nice home park helps, too. If he continues to limit HRs, he's an all-formats guys somewhat easily

1:21

I think Votto's pop is back to a solid degree - still more CI than starting 1B - and it seems certain that his AVG will return, too, just by virtue of the .182 BABIP getting back toward the mean

Harry Lime

1:21

Can Austin Slater continue like he has ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:24

I was just noticing him yesterday on my boxscore Twitch stream (twitch.tv/sporer) and really came away impressed. He's going to be in 10 Tidbits so I'll have to look further, but he's playing, running, and hitting for some pop. Take a look if you need a bt

What are we doing with Luke Weaver in 15 team NFBC? Hold and bench? Not sure what we are going to learn today with a start at Coors...

Paul Sporer

1:26

Cryinggggg, jeez he's a mess right now. And ya, it's hard to think we'll get any real takeaways in Coors. The inconsistency pitch-to-pitch let alone inning-to-inning are tough to watch. He's really struggling to iron himself out right now

Dave

1:27

Is Grisham a hold in standard 12 team mixed, or would you drop him for, say, a Texas OF (Choo/ Calhoun) heading into Coors?

Paul Sporer

1:28

I'm still holding Grisham right now. They don't have many lefties coming up and he's still hitting pretty well against righties

Not Jake Cronenworth

1:28

Sell high or hold on Lamet?

Paul Sporer

1:31

I was pretty suspect of him coming in as a two pitch pitcher (one pitch if you REALLY think about) and his issues with lefties, but he's dominating them and making me look silly start to start. While I can admit I wasn't huge on him, I'm still inclined to consider selling him because of the major returns I think I could get, especially if you're trading to one of his believers

Guest

1:32

Rosenthal looks really good again so far. Think he can be closer beyond this year?

Paul Sporer

1:33

I hope so, I've always been a fan. The most encouraging aspect is definitely the walk rate (or lack thereof as he hasn't walked a batter in 8 IP). We see RPs rise from the ashes like this and have a great second act so I definitely think there's viability for Rosy

Kyle Lewis is a top ___ OF the next 3 years?

Paul Sporer

1:34

Peter

1:34

Traded my Kyle Lewis for his McCullers and Lux 3 days ago? Who wins? When will Lux be up?

Paul Sporer

1:36

Wow, the Kyle Lewis market is hotttttttttt. I love that deal for you. Hard to say when Lux is up without injury as I'm not sure where he'd play but it seems like the second we think a guy is never coming up, he's up the next day. So just be patient for now

Peter

1:36

Nick Solak or McCutch ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:36

I'm still going Cutch, but I do like Solak quite a bit

Not Jake Cronenworth

1:36

Am I not the 2B rest of season?

Paul Sporer

1:37

I think Cronenworth is slated to take that job. He will likely still mix in elsewhere and Profar will get some starts at 2B, but Cronenworth has to play regularly right now

Evan

1:39

What do course of action (if any) do you recommend with Matt Boyd in a dynasty points league?

Paul Sporer

1:40

This one could be blown open big time as he's already allowed 3 and if he does end up getting lit, I think it's a firm sit for a while

Wander Franco

1:40

Will I play this year?

Paul Sporer

1:40

I don't think so, no

Harry Lime

1:40

Kyle Freeland is this an illusion or 2018?

Paul Sporer

1:42

Mostly illusions. Entirely too much contact and too many homers to survive w/that homepark. Maybe spot start on the road where you see fit, but I can't put him as any kind of regular starter

ScottTINSTAAPP

1:43

Cristian Javier or Patrick Sandoval ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:43

Gimme Sandoval by a shred

Guest

1:43

Do you think Dobnak is close to being the next Mark Buehrle, or is this just a blip?

Paul Sporer

1:46

Buehrle is a good level for the expectations. The amount of contact will breed some volatility but for roto folks who can afford to worry about bottom line instead of game-to-game like H2H, he's a good play

Boyd merked, damn.

Quarantino Martinez

1:48

Had 3 blown saves last night: Bass, Presley, and Sulser. Gotta keep them all right? Al only.

Paul Sporer

1:48

Yeah, really tough run there, but keep em all
