Hey Paul. I'm thinking about shipping off M. Carpenter, C. Gonzalez, or K. Schwarber to bolster my depleted pitching staff. Who of these three should I build a trade around (or, who would I be most okay parting ways with ROS)? Carp's backup is Bellinger; other OFs are A. Jones and D. Dahl.

Paul Sporer

3:02

You're really selling low on all three, so you have to find the believer to get a big return. Schwarber probably the best chance to strike it big given how wildly overrated he is by so many

Anthony

3:02

So, who's the add...Nicasio or Rivero?

Paul Sporer

3:02

I don't really know. I love Rivero and while he is a lefty, that shouldn't hurt him from consideration on this tm since they have other lefties

Moltar

3:02

ROS Guerra or Godley?

Paul Sporer

3:02

Ooh two sneaky names I like. I'll lean Guerra barely

New Deck Chairs

3:03

I have Teheran, Leake, Quintana, Nola, Cobb, and DeGrom. Is there any hope for me? I had such high hopes

Paul Sporer

3:03

Man oh man, the vagaries of pitching. I see why you'd be feeling good about that setup. I do have serious concerns on Teheran and deGrom, but I think you have to hold tight rn

Robbie Ray

3:03

How come no one loves me?

Paul Sporer

3:04

What? Tons of people love you. I'm less enamored with you bc you're terrible at home, so you basically have to maintain a sub-1.00 ERA on the road to stay this hot

Boss Man

3:04

My scherzer for his mccullers + degrom?

Paul Sporer

3:04

Keep Scherzer. As much as I love McCullers, I'd keep Scherzer

Marco

3:04

would you trade fulmer straight up for degrom, 12 team keeper h2h points league. Trying to win this year

Paul Sporer

3:04

I would not

3:05

I'd want a better discount on deGrom to buy low

3:05

its boring winning, and not having to make pick ups or trades.

Paul Sporer

3:05

No it's not!

And even winning, you have to stay attentive to the team. There's no way EVERYONE is performing at peak and you have zero injuries

Matt

3:05

Sit someone next week: Manaea (NYY), Nola (ARZ), Stroman (CHW), Freeland (SF, @PIT)

Paul Sporer

3:05

Freeland

Bob

3:05

Felix Hernandez and Jon Gray are both available. Are they worth rostering ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:06

Really depends on league type. I'd be more inclined to go for the Gray stash

Michael Brand

3:06

Can we expect this recent SB production from Trea Turner to continue for the whole season?

Paul Sporer

3:07

He stole 33 in 73 gms last yr. Dude is a base-stealing stud and this is why I still valued him in the first despite expecting the power to dip.

Motter

3:07

You buying into T Motter as a decent Util guy?

Paul Sporer

3:08

He has some AVG upside given his tiny BABIP and he does get SB and HR, so ya it's OK

Moltar

3:08

my DL is now overstuffed with Keuchel going down and I need another starter. Do I drop Bregman or Rodon? Lots of good hitters on the wire, pitching is barren.

Paul Sporer

3:08

Seems like your'e leaning toward Bregman as the cut

Can you try a 2-for-1 to free up a spot? I had to cut a talented bat like that. 10 tm lg?

Cepted

3:08

Better buy low target: Verlander or Degrom?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Probably still deGrom. I may have been a little over-reactionary in some deGrom answers earlier. Still not trading Fulmer for him, but admittedly some of that is my Fulmer love

Zach

3:09

Which of these pitchers do you see turning the corner: Gerrit Cole, Jose Quintana, Rick Porcello?

Paul Sporer

3:11

Quintana. He's closest to his normal level. Cole looks lost. And Porcello stole a Cy Young. He's a high-3.00s, low-4.00s guy

hscer

3:11

I'm getting bombarded with trade offers from people who want my saves. But the proposed returns are making me wonder: are saves free?

Paul Sporer
