Larry

What's your outlook for Dylan Carlson long term?

Paul Sporer

1:24

Star level player. I'm a huge fan and think he'll be an impact bat for a good while with plenty of fantasy goodness, too

Trustin Tristian?

1:24

So...McKenzine is in the rotation rest of season now, I guess?! (Unless he has a clunker)

Paul Sporer

1:24

Wait, did something happen w/Clev & Plesac?

1:25

Oh snap, they told Plesac he's merked, wow

1:27

Welllll in that case, I'm in on McKenzie. He's actually the biggest prospect of the bunch recently so I like their chances of cultivating him into an all-formats option

Gio

1:27

Are you dropping Mize after these first 2 starts?

Paul Sporer

1:27

Depends on league & what's available (as everything does)

jeff

1:27

Are you out on McCutchen? He's been pretty disappointing

Paul Sporer

1:30

Ya he's been rough and I'm ready to move in all formats except maybe NL only as I doubt there's anything that much better anyway

Bart Simpson

1:30

Looks like Hampson has faltered after that hot stretch. Safe to move on? (he did HR last night...hooking me back in)

Paul Sporer

1:31

Ya he kinda is what he is... again, safe to cut in 10s, 12s, and maybe even some 15s (unless they have a home stretch incoming)

sean

1:31

will you be posting an updated SP ranking for ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:31

Yes, this week

Chris

1:32

Paul I'm the leading point scorer in my league by almost 200 points and I'm 1 and 3. There is no playoffs, how do I stay engaged?

Paul Sporer

1:32

Wait there's no playoffs? Y'all are going EPL style? I mean, if you're scoring that many more pts there's probably not a ton to do, so just keep your lineup full and see if you can get hot. Get back to .500 and then go from there

Sven

1:34

Sell/Hold Santander, Urias Clevinger? Thanks Paul, love your work.

Paul Sporer

1:36

None of them are inherent sells, but it depends on your needs. I could see Santander actually drawing some market interest despite being relatively out of nowhere. Clevdog is back but his price might be a little muted until he gets another start or two under his belt and Urias should def draw interest. So if you have certain needs, any of the three could be sold, but I'm not racing to get rid of any of them

Smokin' Lowed

1:36

Why do the Padres hate Mackenzie Gore? Is the seemingly delayed call up any cause for concern? Thanks as always!

Paul Sporer

1:37

I'm not sure they hate, they're just deeming him not ready. Just bc we as the fantasy community have him as ready based on nothing other than our desire to see him, doesn't mean he's good to go

Jerry

1:37

How would you rank the following ROS: Sixto, Mize, McKenzie, I Anderson?

Paul Sporer

1:37

McKenzie/Sixto/Mize/Anderson

Dave

1:37

Hold Gausman through his next two starts (LAD, @COL) or pick-up Gonsolin for a (maybe) start at TEX this weekend?

Paul Sporer

1:38

Do you have to cut Gaus if you don't use him? I'd obv rather not use him for either start, but it's hard to flat cut him given how well he's pitched, especially for a maybe start from Gonsolin

1:38

Will Ketel Marte get his power stroke back or was last season a fluke?

Paul Sporer

1:38

I think he's better than this year, but not 100% of last year so somewhat yes to both questions

Larry

1:38

I dealt Arenado to get Bregman in dynasty. Good or bad?

Paul Sporer

1:39

It's fine. There's not a ton of difference. You got younger. I prefer Arenado, but it's hardly a bad move

Dave

1:39

Carlson's underlying metrics seem to be outpacing his (poor) results thus far... is he a pick-up for a bench spot, or more of a watch list guy?

Paul Sporer

1:40

Oh ya I'm not sweating his rough start statistically at all. He's already starting to come out of it with a little 3-game hit streak and I'm confident he'll have a heater coming soon

Guest

1:40

Which place are you in your expert leagues (Main, TGFBI, etc.)?

Paul Sporer

1:43

Main-1st, Rotowire OC-3rd, TGFBI-9th, RazzSlam-2nd, LABR w/Justin-8th, Tout-11th

Dave

1:43

Underperforming 1st rounders-- Yeli v. Belli ROS, who you got?

Paul Sporer

1:44

Belly's already coming out of it so it kinda feels like cheating to take him. I expect both to be strong ROS

Jim

1:44

I moved on from Mondesi in a points dynasty league. Should I be regretting it?

Paul Sporer

1:44

No, he's bad at baseball. His value is confined to Roto bc of SBs

Trustin Tristian?

1:47

Yeah, they self-dunked on Plesac! The players must really be pissed.

Paul Sporer

1:48

Yeah they are HEATED. I know some threatened to walk out if he comes back. As Phillip DeFranco says, don't be stupid, stupid

Alex

1:48

Would you chalk up Carlos Santana and Schwarbs success last year largely to the juiced ball? They arent helping as much as hoped this year! (OPS league)

Paul Sporer

1:52

Nah, I don't think that's the case. I'm sure it helped, but it didn't MAKE them. Plus, are we sure it's not still there? There have def been some rabbit ball homers this year, too. Santana was a out of nowhere breakout at 34, had to expect him to come back some. Schwarber isn't that far off '19's pace. Bottom line is the short season will likely run out before they can fully turn it around, but they'd be holds for me in a standard 6-month as they are still doing fine (espec. Schwarber)
