Paul Sporer

2:55

Virtually zero. Yes, he's older, but man that would be an epic out of nowhere crash after three straight excellent seasons

Steve-o

2:55

Young Joc Pederson for Maeda (in a vacuum). Nice deal for which side?

Paul Sporer

2:56

I'd go for Joc

Ant

2:56

Adrian Gonzalez still a 10-team stick for you?

Paul Sporer

2:56

ya he gets his numbers and I'm not sure 1B is deep enough to jettison him. Maybe he's CI now, but still holding

Pat

2:56

Paul, I'm starting Teheran tonight and I don't know what to expect with the new park. He has amazing stats at-home in his career, do you think we can carry those over to SunTrust?

Paul Sporer

2:57

We won't really know how SunTrust plays for a while, but I'm still starting Teheran everywhere... except maybe Coors in a 10-teamer, but I don't sit strong #2s

C'est Moi

2:57

Anything to worry about with Edwin Diaz yet? Is Altavilla the guy to own if you're looking for a handcuff?

Paul Sporer

2:59

Too early to be concerned, but yes Altavilla is someone to keep an eye on if Diaz struggles for another several weeks, especially if there are big meltdowns

Gorky

2:59

Is Aaron Judge viable as a 10-team bat where we start five outfielders?

Paul Sporer

2:59

Not for me. You can ride the wave if you have a spot open for injury, but I'd be willing to bet there are better bats on the wire

Rob

2:59

I have Healy and Panda as my 3B options in a 12 tm obp keeper. Any struggling 3B you believe in to try and pry away so I can drop Panda? Villar? thanks

Paul Sporer

3:00

If you can get Villar, I'd be interested. Rendon or Seager also worth inquiring on for a discount

Art

3:00

Is Manny Margot the real deal? Because, wow...

Paul Sporer

3:01

Real deal how? He might reach double-digit homers, but I like him as a speed option with decent AVG and runs (decent for SD at least)

Matthew

3:08

Can/will Billy Hamilton's batting average really stick in the .300 range? Any reason to think this is an illusion?

Paul Sporer

3:09

It certainly *can* because his speed can cover some of the deficiency in actual hitting talent, but I'm not buying that just yet

Chris

3:09

In 10 keeper league was offered Arenado for Bregman, Arrieta, Urias & Trea Turner. Am I nuts for thinking this was an absurd request? I love Arenado but come on

Paul Sporer

3:10

LOL, ya that's ambitious.

NY state of mind

3:10

Will Conforto work his way into the starting lineup soon? He's been solid when given the opportunity. Have him play 1B I say.

Paul Sporer

3:11

Not unless there is a trade (unlikely at this pt) or injury. Duda playing well enough to hold 1B and then he'll spot in at OF but unfortunately they have an abundance of lefties so there are no platoon options

Steve

3:11

drop Jankowski or David Peralta for Jimmy Nelson? H2H 12 man OBP instead of AVG and QS instead of W

Paul Sporer

3:11

No, I wouldn't

Colin

3:11

Gausman or Bundy ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:12

Gausman, but Bundy has an up arrow for sure

Starburns

3:12

Yo Paul. Are you guys down to twice a week with the podcast now? Also, I know you love Granderson, so I'm interested to hear your take on the Conforto cluster in New York.

Paul Sporer

3:12

No, addressed it on yesterday's pod. Working on a guest list and it starts Monday with Glenn Colton of Colton & Wolfman. And I'll be starting the solo eps once a week soon, too. So we'll be at 3-4 per week starting Monday

Steve-o

3:12

Snell and Shoe are out on waivers. Drop Pence (replace with Peralta/Drury) and pick one of them up, right?

Paul Sporer

3:13

How many teams? Probably no, but it seems you have an abundance of OF

LA Mike

3:13

Do you anticipate slight improvement from Shoemaker going forward? Have him as my 4th SP

Edd

3:13

David Peralta is off to a wobbly start. Would you still try to hold him in shallow formats?

Paul Sporer

3:13

These Shoemaker/Peralta questions are all in a row. Did y'all team up to do this? lol

3:14

I'm not moving on Shoemaker or Peralta yet. They have both shown legitimate high-level performance in the majors, they get more than 2 weeks before moving on

JD15

3:14

My pitching staff has some decent injury risk (Hill, Darvish, Salazar) should I look to be trading one so I don't have a complete explosion?

Paul Sporer

3:14

You drafted them knowing you had the risk but also major upside, so why move out now? Stick with it.

Kevin

3:14

What are your thoughts on Zach Davies - getting beat up out there first couple starts.

Paul Sporer

3:17

I wasn't a huge Davies guy coming in, but got some shares on the word of some I trust so I'm going to stick around a little longer. He wasn't in the lineup in the mixer where I have him and the other is an NL Only so I don't think cutting him would be wise just yet

dave in slc

3:17

still no pitcher ranking update? Or did I miss it?

Paul Sporer

3:17

It got pushed, but I promise it's actually being worked on

Bottom tier

3:17

Can I count on Cobb, or would you consider him a well high since he's healthy? He should have had a QS last time out, but was pushed beyond 7 innings for some odd reason
