I'm definitely being cautious about how much stock goes into this year's stats, but I really like Cronenworth's profile and I don't think it's a fluke that he can hit. Top 80 might be a bit high, but I'm a big fan

Henry

2:03

best guess as to bertis playing time going forward with diaz back? SB are tough to come by but if hes playing some, think hes worth a roster spot?

Paul Sporer

2:03

What kinda league format? I think his PT is definitely in trouble with Isan Diaz returning and Jazz Chisholm getting called up

Tim

2:03

Time to give up on Luke Weaver? Mahle, Eflin and Pineda are available on the wire.

Paul Sporer

2:03

yes, I'd take any of the three for him

ROS- Berti or Semien at SS?

Paul Sporer

2:04

C'mon... it's still Semien

Jake

2:04

Time to drop Chad Kuhl in 12 teamer? How do you feel about matchup with Reds on Sunday?

Paul Sporer

2:05

You can, he's hardly a must-hold in 12s. I'm still starting him v. CIN in the leagues where I have him, but if it's another modest outing, I'm likely moving on in 10s and 12s

Kyle Lewis seems to have traded a bit of power for more contact. Will he continue that trend, or just a young hitter finding his way that will end up as a 30-homer, .275 average guy in a full season?

Paul Sporer

2:10

I think it's sometimes forgotten that he was a mega prospect prior to getting hurt in the minors and curbing his prospect hype. This dude is a legit stud, I've loved watching him this year

Jake

2:10

Trade deadline in my redraft league was 12 pm today... I was offered Elieser for Danny Duffy and I declined... did I make the right move?

Paul Sporer

2:11

I'd have probably taken the deal, but they aren't different enough to fret over it

MarioMendoza

2:12

Kendrick or Segura ROS? Segura wins tie breaker since it's a keeper league

Paul Sporer

2:12

I prefer Kendrick

Joboo's Rum

2:12

Love the chats! 12 team 5x5. I'm getting impatient on guys like J.D. Martinez, Arenado, Sanchez, etc. Is it time to start benching for a hot hand until they get on a hot streak?

Paul Sporer

2:13

No chance I'm benching JD or Arenado, but I'm down to find another C over Sanchez right now. His 6 HR aren't worth the .124 AVG

Guest

2:13

starting Morton tonight?

Paul Sporer

2:14

Yes, I would

Biggy

2:14

What's going on with Luis Castillo? Does this affect your long term value for him?\

Paul Sporer

2:15

He's been fine. A couple bumpy starts runs-wise, but he still has his Ks and the 3.04 FIP is still great. I'm unmoved by any perceived struggles. Still a stud, IMO

Jerry Seinfeld

2:16

What's the DEAL with Jake Cronenworth? I mean he's RAKING and he's WORTH a top-30 pick in next year's draft, am I RIGHT???

Paul Sporer

2:16

LOL, well done Jerry. Not top 30, but a stud - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/rake-cronenworths-star-turn/

2:16

Kyle Lewis = Adam Jones + walks?

Paul Sporer

2:16

Not a terrible comp

Matt

2:17

My expected reliance on Montas imploded. Can I still continue to count on Bundy, it is that going to collapse too?

Paul Sporer

2:17

Maybe if he gets hurt like Montas. I think Montas' back is driving all of these struggles. I believe in Bundy

phil

2:17

Just traded Mondesi for Schwarber, I'm second in steals, 7th in HR. Got that 2HR game out of Schwarber already. Too early to be doing victory laps?

Paul Sporer

2:18

LOL, nah you're happy about your move.

sam

2:19

was offered Solak & Gallo for JDM, it's a points league where K's are penalized and total bases are really elevated. Projections still have JDM being on par with someone like Vladito, with the other two being only a little above replacement. Do I bite?

Paul Sporer

2:19

No, I wouldn't. I love Solak, but I don't think Gallo is a good fit in this league and I still believe in JDM

Al Gone Quinn

2:22

Framber was unranked (out of 137) in pre-season SP rankings.

Paul Sporer

2:22

Yep, I forgot him

Jake

2:22

Re: Sonny Gray----- his xERA was 3.79 going into last night... he was bound to regress

Paul Sporer

2:25

Eh, that doesn't explain a meltdown like that, that's not how regression works. He had a 1.94 ERA, 2.67 FIP, 2.96 xFIP going into last night per our site. Nothing about suggests he was going to get absolutely trounced

Please don't repeat questions, y'all. I'm working through the queue as quickly as I can!

Guest

2:25

How much value do you place on "expected schedule ROS" for fringe starters? Should I be hoarding the guys I 'think' I am gonna stream later?

Paul Sporer

2:26

I'm not planning more than a couple days ahead in this crazy season, just not enough value in it given how fluid things are

Quadrangular

2:26

Happ and Winker: are they taking "the step" or are they just running hot?

Paul Sporer

2:28

I believe in both, especially Happ. Winker's .556 BABIP against lefties won't last, but at the very least he'll continue to crush righties
