Should I use my # 1 waiver priority to grab Corey Dickerson and cut Ryan Zimmerman?

Paul Sporer

2:02

Yes

2:03

By the way, hi everyone! If you're a DFS player, join my contest - https://www.draftkings.com/contest/draftteam/22875568?userContestId=378079186 (not sponsored, just my own daily game... since someone asked/accused me of being on the take. If they sponsored it, I'd tell y'all!)

Micah

Stephen Piscotty a stream or a hold in a shallow 10-teamer?

Paul Sporer

2:03

Hold

Micah

2:03

Michael Taylor 10-team worthy, or is he more of a deep-league add?

Paul Sporer

2:03

Deep league right now. Probably better guys in 10-teamer

Sailor Jerry

2:03

Tropeano an insta-add in a my deeper mixed?

Paul Sporer

2:04

Probably, yes. Deeper is nebulous, but yeah I'm a Trop guy for sure

Cory S.

2:04

I own Jensen, Familia, Doolittle, Osuna, and Gregerson.

Paul Sporer

2:04

I imagine that you mean Jansen. And it seems like you're just bragging.

Jake

2:04

Hey Paul, do you have any optimism for Hyun Jin Ryu when he returns?

Paul Sporer

2:04

Yeah when healthy, I think he'll be good to go. He was REALLY good when healthy for a couple years.

Lars

2:04

Been offered Felix and J-Up for my Roberto Osuna and Ryan Braun in a 10-team re-draft. Accept or reject?

Paul Sporer

2:05

I'll take that if you have some saves backup. I think J-Up = Braun at least and then Felix > Osuna (though Osuna is a dope af closer and I think he will hold the job all year)

Ryan

2:05

You guys are loving AAron after shutting down the (maybe meh) TB offense - are we doing the same for Finnegan after doing the same to the (certainly meh) Phillies offense?

Paul Sporer

2:07

With Sanchez there are big changes that we saw in Spring and were carried over into the TB start so I think there's more reason for excitement. I'm unmoved by Finnegan's opener. Still like him, but deep lgs only right now.

Ryan

2:07

Chris Tillman, Cody Anderson, Kyle Gibson, who ya like least?

Paul Sporer

2:08

Tillman rn bc I'm bought in on Anderson's Spring changes and wanna see what comes of them, but that trio is pretty damn close

Mike

2:08

Time to add Sam Dyson, even if it means dropping a decent piece like Khris Davis or Piscotty?

Paul Sporer

2:08

Ooh, I'm not sure I'd go that far unless you're DESPERATE for saves and it's a 10-teamer

Eastern NC

2:08

Let's talk Brandon Finnigan: legit last night, or was it a function of the Phillies, or both? Deep league keeper gold?

Paul Sporer

2:08

Both. He's good for sure, but Philly sucks.

Felix

2:08

Do you feel a Jake Lamb breakout campaign is upon us?

Paul Sporer

2:08

Definitely could be. Eno talked him up on the pod a few times

Cory S.

2:08

10 tm h2h cats. I own Jensen, Familia, Doolittle, Osuna, and Gregerson. After listening to the podcast I offered the Giles owner Gregerson for S. Miller or Gregerson for Conforto. He accepted the first one. Could 'use' another SP. Didn't need 5 closers.

Paul Sporer

2:09

Oh yeah, I'm cool with that. (I'm a Miller backer and not freaking out after the first start)

Eastern NC

2:09

Hey man, 20 team keeper, no chance since I'm taking over. Would you do this trade: I trade Darvish for Ozuna and Andre Benintendi?

Paul Sporer

2:09

Yes, if you're rebuilding, I love that

Naizer

2:09

Which 4 should I start?12 man, 9x9 category league. DeShields, Puig, C. Davis, Heyward, Fowler, M. Taylor, and Burns

Paul Sporer

2:09

Puig, Davis, Fowler, Heyward

Matt NYC

2:09

Paul who are some guys who aren't currently their teams' closer that could land 15+ saves by the end of the season?

Paul Sporer

2:10

Strickland, Madson (Doolittle's health is always a concern at this pt, but I love Doolittle if healthy), Clippard or Hudson behind Ziegler

Joe

2:10

Are you buying DeSclafani if he shows that he's healthy this weekend? Especially after his encouraging spring stats (increased k%).

Paul Sporer

2:10

Yeah Eno got me on board last year so I'm keeping a close eye. the oblique is annoying bc those can linger all year, but I'll be watching his first start eagerly

Charles Boyer

2:10

Who are the first SP prospects that will come up this year and what date do you expect them by? Specifically, Berrios, Giolito, Snell, Alex Reyes

Paul Sporer

2:11

Honestly, no idea. The prospect guys barely have an idea so I'm ill-equipped to foster a useful guess. I like Berrios first of the group. Reyes is suspended bc of weed

Eastern NC

2:11

Let's also talk Nicasio. How in are you?

Paul Sporer

2:11

Pretty in. Writing about tomorrow, so I haven't fully analyzed the start yet

Shane Greene

2:11

How long until I get that coveted RP designation?
