Hellllllooooo!!!!!

Little tight on time, so we're only going 60-75 minutes today

Cartel Bartel

2:16

how u doin????

Paul Sporer

2:16

Doing well!

Big Tuna

2:16

What do you make on early season Schimpf? Do you think he’s bound to lose some ABs?

Paul Sporer

2:17

Pretty much exactly what I expected - empty home runs, which is a weird phrase, but describes him given how terrible he is elsewhere

Big Tuna

2:17

Would you start either Maeda against PHI or Cotton against Houston tonight?

Paul Sporer

2:17

Picking one or can you do both? I'd go Maeda for sure

Waka

Paul Sonny Gray was just dropped in my league (12 team h2h points) and I have ww priority. Should I claim him? Would just drop a streamer I have. Good pitchers aren't dropped too often in this league

Paul Sporer

2:18

I mean, you can, but his health has me concerned

Gucci

2:18

Had to drop Rodon yesterday because too many guys hit the DL :(((((

Paul Sporer

2:18

It'd been brutal right now

Big Tuna

2:18

If you have a major short-term need, can you justify overpaying for a player? For example, I need 3B/CI with Beltre and Duda hurt and Rendon not performing. Is it okay to overpay or would you sit tight?

Paul Sporer

2:19

Don't ever wanna get too short-sighted and purposely make a bad deal

It's a sad day when Bud Norris is one of the best things going on my fantasy team. That said, he's almost convinced me that he's not half bad. With Scoscia being crazy and Bedrosian taking his time nursing the injury, any chance Norris could hang on to this job for awhile?

Paul Sporer

2:19

I've been saying forever that he could be a lit reliever bc SP just wasn't working. I kinda dig him as closer

John

aaron sanchez coming off the DL in my 12 team league. Who to drop among: jordan montgomery, daniel norris, senzatela, graveman, e. rodriguez, cotton?

Paul Sporer

2:20

Senzatela. Been impressed, but not missing enough bats to survive Coors much longer

Big Tuna

2:21

I bought low on Domingo Santana in an OPS league for Odorizzi. Basically, I'm a toddler hoping for affirmation.

Paul Sporer

2:21

LOL I'm cool with that

Matt

2:21

Hey Paul! Love the podcast and chats... I was offered Trout and Carlos Gomez for my Brantley and Trae Turner. Should I do it?

Paul Sporer

2:22

Thanks! That's a really good offer. I think I'd take it, especially if you're in a 10-12 tm league.

Has there been any news recently about Brandon Finnegan's rehab? Are you still a fan of his? I know he had a NICE ranking in your March ranks.

Paul Sporer

2:23

Haven't seen any updates. Still intrigued by the arm, but bummed that he got hurt

Tony the Tiger

2:23

How worried should fantasy owners be about VMart right now? I'm obviously no longer expecting him to put up comparable numbers to last year, but is there still some hope that he turns it around?

Paul Sporer

2:23

There is hope. He's had painfully slow starts before. I'd hold tight still

Light

2:24

My Goldy for Votto and McCullers in a 12 team OBP redraft? Another possible scenario is to then flip Votto which ends up McCullers, Carpenter, and Wacha/Stroman. I have DeGrom, Paxton, Harvey, Tanaka, and gsellman as my top five pitchers. Murphy, Goldy, Stanton, sano, Turner my top five hitters.

Paul Sporer

2:25

Gimme Votto/McCullers

Richie

2:25

Do you see the Twins calling up Berrios on May 6 when they first need a 5th starter?

Paul Sporer

2:25

Certainly possible, he's crushing in AAA again

Chris Tillman

2:25

I might be getting worried about my velocity on these rehab starts. Should I be?

Paul Sporer

2:26

Definitely a concern, yes

Tommy

2:26

Trade J Bell for Brinson? OBP instead of BA. Brinson worth it, even with the relative dearth of 1B prospects?

Paul Sporer

2:26

ya, I'm down with that. I like Bell, but I just don't think he's going to be all that fantasy viable, even at peak

barry fr boston

2:29

Pls rank ROS: McCullers, Bundy, Paxton, Mannaea, D Norris, Hahn, M Gonzalez Thanks

Paul Sporer

2:29

Paxton, McCullers, Bundy, Manaea, Norris, Hahn, Gonz

Gucci

2:29

Why isn't Ervin Santana getting any of the trade buzz that Quintana has? Wouldn't he be a cheaper starter for a competing team to go out and get with only a slightly lower ceiling?

Paul Sporer

2:31

He will definitely be discussed at the deadline. Q just has some long-term appeal thus the hype

Mystery Man

2:31

What are you doing with MadBum in a keep 7 10 teamer

Paul Sporer

2:31

Gotta hang on
