Edwin Diaz at the halfway mark....20k/9....2 Svs. which number is the bigger surprise?

Paul Sporer

2:29

The saves.

Kerry

2:29

What do you make of Robinson Cano's return to a Hall of Fame pace?

Paul Sporer

2:30

2019 is the clear, the dude is just a brilliant hitter and when healthy, he should be expected to contribute

2:31

clear outlier* that should say

Don Juan

2:31

Is Montas broken?

Paul Sporer

2:31

Yes, I think his back is the reason for these issues, it seems he needs an IL stint

Conundrum

2:31

If you could only keep one, Civale or Plesac?

Paul Sporer

2:31

Civale, but why would you only be able to keep one? Surely there's a better cut

Estevão

2:34

Do you play OOTP?

Paul Sporer

2:34

I do, I love Perfect Team

Conundrum

2:34

Hiura’s strikeout rate is obscene.

Paul Sporer

2:36

Right in line with last year's, I was surprised how overlooked his poor plate profile was during draft season. I understand the power-speed appeal, but it seemed pretty easy to see his AVG coming down a good bit

Estevão

2:36

In one of my saves the Orioles in the mid 200's won over 110 games on the back to back years and got swept in the ALDS both times. Baseball is awesome

Paul Sporer

2:36

OOTP can be SO crushing!!

Ketel Marte

2:37

Should I be in starting lineups? Should I be benched or even dropped already?

Paul Sporer

2:37

He's certainly not playing to his '19 level, but he's still worth playing IMO

Armadillofury

2:38

What's up with Moncada? Hasn't played for three games but no IL?

Paul Sporer

2:38

They think it's just gonna be a couple more days and don't want to put him on the IL

RMR

2:39

How high do you think guys like Gallen and Civale, really good pitchers without premium velocity / stuff, can get on future SP ranking lists? Can they get into that elite tier without that next level stuff that some other guys have?

Paul Sporer

2:41

Have you watched them? They don't have insane velo, but that doesn't mean they don't have premium stuff. I absolutely think both can be top 25 SPs

Sean

2:41

would you rather have Hader or Colome ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:42

Still Hader for sure

Mike Hawk

2:45

You were really serious when you said no Kiriloff this year...wow..next year?

Paul Sporer

2:46

Yeah despite their offense not playing to expectations, there still isn't really a spot for him. I do think he'll play next year for sure.

Conundrum

2:46

I traded Civale for Plesac, regretting it.

Paul Sporer

2:46

I do prefer Civale, but they aren't far enough apart to bug out

Estevão

2:47

How big is the gap in terms of intelligence from GM to GM. Andrew Friedman seems to be on another level, in multiple times acquiring younger cheaper value on deals with teams with limited budgets

Paul Sporer

2:48

It's definitely not as big as we perceive when roasting GMs we disagree with, but there are definitely gaps in front office abilities. It's not just the ONE guy, though, it's really more about the front office teams they put together

Dave

2:49

Do you think Alex Dickerson is worth a pickup at least for daily utility spot on an points league?

Paul Sporer

2:50

Career .268/.339/.495 vR, but let's not overdo it based on one amazing game

Harry

2:50

What do you think of Urquidy ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Wait, is he coming back yet? I love him, but we need to get him back on the field.

Quadrangular

2:54

back in on Boyd?

Paul Sporer

2:55

Certainly worth a pickup after back to back gems

Quadrangular

2:55

follow up re: Boyd: were you ever not in? really wishing that guy would get it all together, throw the change more

Paul Sporer

2:56

No, I definitely saw him as a drop after the 2nd 7 ER dud in a row, but the 9 K v. CWS started to bring me back on board

Estevão

2:56

Reading that question made me feel like a jerk. Like who am I to question ppl doing this for a living. I definitely agree with what you said although I'll never understand the Grandal-Kemp trade

Paul Sporer

2:57

No, no, it was an OK question to ask. These guys aren't above critique, but we need to understand that we deal with incomplete information when assessing the moves

Guest

2:57

How much emphasis do you put on K/BB% or SIERA when considering an add? Wacha, Lindblom on my waiver wire, metrics look good, but results haven't been there. Likewise I'm holding on Boyd and Weaver hoping for positive regression (might be there already with Boyd). Thanks!
