Hello everyone! Welcome to the chat, let's talk some baseball!

Gio

Randy Dobnak - sell high or ride things out?

Paul Sporer

1:07

I'm riding it out as I doubt anyone is really going to give you a mint for him. Most probably think he's going to collapse. There will be some regression, but I don't see collapse

Scott

How worried should I be about a staff with Scherzer, Carrasco and Montas?

Paul Sporer

1:09

A bit bc it seems Montas' back is bothering him. Two duds after being scratched screams that he's not right and might require a 10-day. The tough part though is that there's nothing particularly actionable w/these three. Benching Max & Carrasco isn't possible IMO and without any real news on Montas, I'm keeping him in under the assumption that he's getting better and they trust he's healthy enough to keep pitching

Bart Simpson

Time for me to drop Stripling in 12 tm mixed roto. Options are Brett Anderson, L. Weaver, Dakota Hudson, Gonsolin and Pineda. What order should I prioritize? Thanks Paul!

Paul Sporer

1:10

I'm definitely OK with it as his fastball just isn't where it needs to be for him to be successful. He's a streamer in 12s right now until we see him string a few together (of course by then, the season is over, lol). Prioritize matchups w/the available arms as none of them are set & forget types

Concern level on Turner's lack of steals? Seems like the speed may not be there this year, but could he get it back into gear next season?

Paul Sporer

1:11

Certainly some as he was drafted to be a major part of your speed. He has run five times, just been caught three, so at least he hasn't just stopped running. Maybe look for some supplemental SBs on the wire

10t H2H, Ohtani droppable to get Judge off IL? Huge Ohtani fan but other options are guys playing well while I’m trying to hold season together.

Paul Sporer

1:12

In a 10-teamer, yep

Enrico Palazzo

1:12

Better 2-3 year keeper in 5x5: Carter Kieboom or Ian Happ?

Paul Sporer

1:12

I'm a Happ guy. On the whole, they probably aren't allll that far apart, so I'll lean personal preference of Happ

1:12

Hola. You moving on from Paddack or holding? (W,L,K,ERA,SV, no bench spots so I have to play him everyday)

Paul Sporer

1:13

Still too good to cut, even in the short season. Two 6 ER outings are doing the heavy lifting on that ERA, otherwise he's been great in the other 5

rusty shackleford

1:13

have to at least hold stripling for his start vs texas, right?

Paul Sporer

1:13

I did, but like I said in the other Q about him, I see him as a streamer in 10s and 12s so it's a personal preference kind of deal with him

Leslie Knope

1:14

What the heck happened to Josh Bell? That dude is unusable this year.

Paul Sporer

1:15

Man I don't think even his biggest non-believers saw THIS coming. He's been ROUGHHHHH. Ks way up, BBs non-existent, and he's hitting it on the ground a bunch. In a standard 6-month, I'd still be holding and giving him some time, but he's going to be in my 40%/60% article this week as the 1B cut

1:16

(Btw, there was no 40/60 piece last week as I had to go to my mom's and take care of some things as she's selling her house and we're trying to get her all situated)

Guest

1:16

Kyle Lewis keeps chugging along. Do you think he's made real improvements, or is this still just small sample size?

Paul Sporer

1:17

Well he's just a good player. It feels out of nowhere because his prospect time was hampered by injuries so unless you really study prospects, he was a bit under the radar. Had he stayed healthy, he'd have been heralded and this would feel less surprising

Matt

1:17

Who says no Giants or Indians In a Plesac for Yaz trade?

Paul Sporer

1:17

I'd hope the Indians. I love Yaz, but a 25-year old breakout arm (even if he's a bit of a clown) should bring more than a 30-year old corner OF

LadyLuck

1:18

Thoughts on Our Lady of Lourdes Gurriel, Jr ros?

Paul Sporer

1:18

He's rollin, I'm hoping this is the start of a great finish. I was huge on him coming into the season so I've been monitoring him closely

Matt

1:19

Feel sad I traded away Mookie today in a 12 team $400 Ottoneu points league 40 man roster. I wasn't competing this year.

Paul Sporer

1:19

Aw man, I hope you got a mint for him at least

Matt

1:19

Sent $61 mookie for $19 Torres and $43 Bergman did I get enough for next year

Paul Sporer

1:20

I'm good with that deal

devin

1:20

What are your thoughts on Hader? do you think he will be traded and if so what teams would you think would be interested?

Paul Sporer

1:20

I don't think he'll be dealt. Milwaukee is still very much in it

Guest

1:20

Do you think Rosenthal ends up getting traded? % chance he is still closer if he does?

Paul Sporer

1:21

He's looking like the Rosy of old so they should absolutely be offering him up. 65-70% chance he's dealt

Greg

1:22

You buying into Cronenworth, or just a hot streak?

Helium Man

1:22

is Bart a top 5 C in most formats? A Top 2? Top 1?!

Paul Sporer

1:23

LOL, no

Guest

1:23

Literally why would a team like Pittsburgh ever give one more at bat to a retread like Dyson, don't they have even one guy they would like to take a look at?

Paul Sporer

1:24

I was actually saying the same thing on stream last night. I just don't get it. Wouldn't it be better for even like some 27-28 year old AAA OF in hopes they can find the next Yaz or something? ANYTHING has to be better?!?!
