Do you always play stud hitters against aces? For example, today I have Eloy and TAnderson against Bieber. I'm inclined to play them, even though I have reserves choices (such as France and DJStewart and DomSmith).

Paul Sporer

1:56

I'm a start your studs kind of guy. Now it just so happens that among your reserves is a stud in Dom Smith, he's been insane this year and last so you could feasibly start him over Eloy, but I don't find myself ever sitting premium bats for solid but unspectacular guys like France & Stew

I benched Max and Ryu this week in favor of 2 start Skubal and Smyly in points league finals. Was scared of both losing their start in our championship week. How dumb am I?

Paul Sporer

1:57

Dumb isn't the right word, but I think it was a bit wrongheaded bc both pitch earlier in the week so I didn't see that shutdown fear with either

john wick

what are your thoughts on brandon lowe long term? worth keeping in a keep 8 forever league?

Paul Sporer

1:58

Big fan. Really like his talent and think he'll be a solid fantasy contributor for the next few years. Def a keep 8 guy

Siri

Starting Sixto tonight? H2H categories league with QS, IP, ERA and WHIP.

Paul Sporer

1:59

At the risk of being snarky, is that really a question? I know he was bopped a bit last time out, but that only moved his ERA to 2.75... def still starting

Has your love for Cronenworth cooled off along with his BA?

Paul Sporer

1:59

No, still a big fan long-term. I absolutely expected some pullback after that blazing hot start.

Rodney

More Alejandro Kirk, or ALL the Alejandro Kirk?

Paul Sporer

2:00

Some Alejandro Kirk. I get the cult appeal, but let's not go crazy

Does Buster Posey have value in one catcher leagues next year?

Paul Sporer

2:01

Maybe 15+ teams

Biggy

2:01

You in on Verdugo as a top 50 dynasty player?

Paul Sporer

2:01

I'm not THAT high on him

Chamaco

2:01

Top 5 xwOBA are: Freeman, Soto, Corey Seager, Harper, and...Jake Cronenworth. How would you value Cronenworth in dynasty leagues?

Paul Sporer

Any word on Nelson Cruz injury status?

Paul Sporer

2:07

Still day-to-day with the knee and I suspect they'll be cautious

Ricky

2:08

How are you valuing Austin Nola in keeper leagues? He'll lose multi-positional eligibility and hasn't hit as well in SD. Top 10 rather than Top 5 at catcher?

Paul Sporer

2:13

I'm not worried about him losing multi-elig. bc he gains C which is all we really wanted. My main interest in him was that he could be a non-catching catcher and though we didn't get that, I'll still take him as a high quality catcher. I think he's in that 5-10 range because the position is so bad right now

2:17

If Jared Walsh can find 450-500 PA how valuable (standard roto) do you think he can be?

Paul Sporer

2:19

Solid power option (.260, 30 HR)

Guest

2:19

Which young arm do you keep: gallen or luzardo?

Paul Sporer

2:20

Damn, got me in a corner as I love both.... I'll go Gallen

2:20

Is Ty France a keeper in a 16 team dynasty?

Paul Sporer

2:21

I'd say so, yes. He'll almost certainly have a full time role next year with Seattle

Guest

2:21

gut feel, where is gerrit cole ranked amongst SP for 2021?

Paul Sporer

2:21

Top 3

Feddy

2:21

Drop Wilmer Flores for Josh Fuentes in a league with limited weekly acquisitions and streaming is important?

Paul Sporer

2:22

Yes, SF has a tougher schedule w/SD this weekend

Hey Jedd Move Away From There

2:22

Are you starting Gyorko over mid-tier 3B options at this point?

Paul Sporer

2:24

Kinda depends who exactly, but he's in that mid-tier mix for sure

2:25

OK y'all, I gotta get going. Thanks so much for coming out today and all season! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Instagram (p_sporer). I’ll be streaming on Twitch later today and you can definitely come by and ask questions about fantasy there. Have a good one, y’all!
