In NYC, Sports Radio WFAN is trying to replace Mike Francesa with NJ Governor Chris Christie... Out of the frying pan into a BIGGER frying pan. Any opinion?

Paul Sporer

12:01

I'd heard he's been filling, but I don't listen nor do I plan to

Butch

12:03

What are the chances Peacock keeps rotation spot? Wondering if I should try and trade him.

Paul Sporer

12:04

I think he gets to keep the spot as long as he keeps performing, but it's not a bad sell-high candidate

Edwin

12:05

does Neris remain the closer in Philly for ROS? do we care in 12-teamers?

Paul Sporer

12:06

yes and yes

Blue Morpho

12:06

Tanner Roark worth holding in a 12-team?

Paul Sporer

12:07

Borderline for sure, I'd imagine most 12 tm waivers have someone else I'd gamble on

Jeff Samardzija

12:07

Can I keep my rate stats up and lower my era over the 2nd half and become a #1 starter?

Paul Sporer

12:09

Not a #1, no. But he has a 3.80 ERA in his non-Coors starts. I think he's a 3.50-4.00 guy with great Ks which is very valuable in this scoring environment

Porcho Villa

12:09

What to do with Cody Allen? Worth holding given that Miller has taken over the job / is better?

Paul Sporer

12:11

think you gotta hold him. they're kinda sharing, no? still think they prefer to have Miller whenever they want as opposed to the automatic closer

Archie

12:11

Dynasty RF, Mazara or D. Santana.

Paul Sporer

12:11

Really like both, but I think Domingo has to get the edge with his speed

Naquin 'Merica Great Again

12:12

Thanks for the chat, Paul! Better all-around fantasy OF ROS...D.Santana, Inciarte or Souza?

Paul Sporer

12:12

Domingo goes back-to-back!

dave in slc

12:12

is peacock for gardner a fair deal. peacock has been great and gardner feels like he has played a bit over his head. thoughts?

Paul Sporer

12:12

I'd prefer Peacock for sure

Tom

12:12

Mark Reynolds. Is the dream over?

Paul Sporer

12:15

Sputtering over his last 30, but he was great before that. Home-only guy. 1B so deep that he's not someone you MUUUST keep in mixers

Butch

12:15

Do you think the tigers should try to engage the Astros in a Fulmer deal to potentially restock the farm and expedite their rebuild?

Paul Sporer

12:16

Not unless they just get a ridiculous over the top deal. I just don't see how trading a young, established arm helps a rebuild effort, though

TRADE SZN

12:16

Paul, I'm a huge Cubs fan and I've gone all in on Quintana. Traded Duffy and Andrew Miller for him. Am I just caught up in the high that is the trade deadline?

Paul Sporer

12:17

A little caught up, ya, but I think it's ok

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

12:17

It's now the 2nd half, is it okay now to start overpaying in trades to get players to help other categories? I'm strong in SP but need AVG and SB help so I'm thinking of trading my top tier SP for a Dee Gordon type.

Paul Sporer

12:18

Ya, I mean it's not even overpaying if it's the categories you need. I get what you're saying though, deals that in vacuum might look bad are the right move in context of your standings

John

12:18

Worth dropping bedrosian or archie bradley in a 12 team league for a starter such as cahill, gausman, or luis castillo?

Paul Sporer

12:18

Ya I'd want the SPs. I'm pretty hyped on Castillo

12:18

Drop D. Peralta for any of these guys? Gardner, Hicks, C. Davis, Puig (H2H 12 team).

Paul Sporer

12:18

Nah

Michael

12:18

Do the Rays have the most young pitching talent?

Paul Sporer

12:19

Like in the majors right now or including their system? Not sure they have the most either way, no

Sap

12:19

Marwin Gonzalez or Trevor Story for ROS?

Paul Sporer

12:19

Marwin!

10th place, need help

12:19

I know trade questions aren't the most popular but its "go-time" in the fantasy season. Is giving up Alex Wood & Jose Bautista for Joey Votto a 6x6 OBP & SLG league too much? Bautista looks like hes back to his old self since May 1, but Votto is a top 5 hitter in our format. The rest of my staff is Ray, Cahill, Taillon, Maeda, Lynn, and Hoffman

Paul Sporer

12:20

Trade Qs are fine, I just don't like the "who should I get for ___?" ones bc they are literally impossible to answer. As for your deal, I dig it. Votto is a monster in that format

Dat Dude

12:20

Lynn or E-Rod ROS? 5x5 12 team roto

Paul Sporer

12:21

Rodriguez on his way back, I'd take a shot on him in the shallower league

Bay Jruce

12:21

Hey Paul glad if someone was filling in for Eno that its you. I have Jay Bruce and alot of outfield depth so I want to move him for some SP help. So far I've tried for Cole, Stroman and Darvish and came up with nothing. Is my valuation of his season way off? No one seems to care about Bruce.

Paul Sporer

12:23

Thanks! Note for those just coming in: I will be chatting again tomorrow in my normal slot and it'll be more of a marathon session. I do think you're overrating Bruce a good bit. OF just too deep and pitching is too rare.
