Big Joe Montferrant

Why is Larry Walker not a HOFer?

Paul Sporer

12:18

He was straight fire.

I'm not sure he has an ironclad case, but there's definitely a case

Benji

12:18

Where does Polanco rank among OF in 2017?

Paul Sporer

12:19

Top 30 for sure, perhaps in the low-20s if you're really vibing him

Young Jeezy

What do I do with Gerrit Cole? 12 team H2H re-draft points league. Taillon, Jansen, & Britton are on the waiver wire (closers aren't valued very high in our league). At this point, is Cole worth rostering?

Paul Sporer

12:23

I have a hard time cutting him in 12-team, but it's 3 outings of 5 IP or fewer in August. I'm torn. If you have enough SPs elsewhere, take one of those elite closers

Homer

12:23

Can you envision Mets trying to move grandy this offseason? (1yr/15mil left) would they have to eat any money to trade him or could they trade him and his remaining money owed for a low level flyer?

Paul Sporer

12:24

Hmm, that's interesting. I think on a one-year situation, they could do it w/out sending cash, but I'm not sure they will

Fire Kevin Cash

12:24

How much does a pitcher's own defensive ability matter?

Paul Sporer

12:25

It certainly matters. I don't think it's worth a game-changing amt of ERA or WHIP, but it definitely helps, especially if you're a groundball guy who will get plenty of dribblers that are playable by the SP

Guest

12:25

Hey you're not Eno

CamdenWarehouse

12:25

You are most definitely not Eno

Paul Sporer

12:25

Accurate

Maxamuz

12:25

Cool Ranch or Nacho Doritos?

Paul Sporer

12:25

Nacho usually for me

Luap Rerops

12:26

Thornburg and Ottavino - can they be legit closers in 2017 or do you believe that they are pretenders ?

Paul Sporer

12:26

I think Ottavino will be, but I'm not sure Thorn will even open w/the gig (Corey Knebel could take it)

Toki

12:26

Norton

12:26

Hello ball

The other Kyle

12:26

Thoughts on Dahl in '17 and beyond? Is .280-20-80-20 too optimistic for next year?

Paul Sporer

12:27

No that's not TOO optimistic, espec w/Coors. I'm pretty excited about Dahl for a full season

JD15

12:27

Traded Fowler and Zobrist for Ortiz in a redraft league to give myself a streaming roster spot (or for Kershaw to return). How did I do?

Paul Sporer

12:28

I'm fine with it. As long as you don't deal this Fowler: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/fowlebo01.shtml

Moltar

12:28

I have Bregman on my bench in my 12tm, h2h points keep-6 mixed. Swanson is out on the wire. I should hang on to Bregman, right? Wouldn't really be able to keep both (and I also own Lindor at a great price)

Paul Sporer

12:28

Bregman >> Swanson

Diadem

12:28

Does Reynaldo Lopez make WAS rotation next year?

Paul Sporer

12:28

I could see him being dealt in the offseason tbh

Gest

12:29

At equal cost, who would you rather keep for 2017, M. Fulmer or Darvish?

Paul Sporer

12:29

Darvish

Kenta Maeda

12:33

Do you expect me to fade somewhat down the stretch because of the longer MLB season and pitching every 5th day instead of once per week? What do you expect from me RoS?

Paul Sporer

12:34

I think they've tried to combat that by keeping him as essentially a 6-inning pitcher all season

Toki

12:35

Wow, 3 hours of questions to build up before the chat. You got your work cutout for you Paul. Good Luck sir :)

Paul Sporer

12:35

No it was a typo on my part. I usually start at 2, but I got moved up in Eno's absence

Erik

12:35

Should the MLB give tighter definitions of the MVP and CY Young awards to better guide voting, or is the perennial debate about what they mean actually good for the game?

Paul Sporer

12:35

I don't think there's any issue with the debates.

12:35

So is Brian McCann droppable now that hes not the primary NYY catcher? I have Mike Zunino rostered, OBP league.

Paul Sporer

12:36

I know McCann hasn't been a stud, but given how lame C has been, is he not tradeable?

Mike

12:36

Would you drop Justin Upton for Rajai Davis in a 10-team H2H league with standard categories? Don't specifically NEED speed or power, just looking for the "best" player value-wise.

Paul Sporer

12:36

Ya, I think I would
