Where do you think these SPs would wind up on your pitching ranks: Buck Farmer, Baggiani, Peacock? Are any "US" worthy? Has Sabathia's resurgence earned an upgrade?

Paul Sporer

3:12

None are US yet. Biagini is the closest.

Brutus Beefcake

3:14

Which C would you rather have RoS (please order)? Contreras, Ramos or Murphy?

Paul Sporer

3:15

Wilson, Willson, Murph

Chris

3:15

So would you hold onto both Rivero and Nicasio? I hate having all three, but I am hoping that tonight they have a save opp and we find out who the new man is. I LOVE Rivero, but it sounds like they are going to try and keep his arbitration price down by not giving him saves.

Paul Sporer

3:16

Get rid of Watson. If you're worried about Rivero, then keep Nicasio

Pikup Androppov

3:16

I could use some saves in a 14 team roto keeper and have limited options. Does Yadier Alvarez and Wandy Peralta for Raisel Iglesias sound like fair deal to you? Or Alvarez and Kahnle for Knebel?

Paul Sporer

3:16

I like getting Raisel

Matt

3:16

Re Wacha - only bad in his last 3 - 2 against LAD and one that had a meltdown after a defensive miscue. Still hope for him?

Paul Sporer

3:18

Ya three straight duds, but had a similar lull last yr before reeling off 2 months of a 3.75 ERA and then the shoulder flared up. I've always been one of the bigger Wacha fans

Big Tuna

3:18

Worried about Fulmer after two bad starts against two bad offenses? Was offered Story and Peacock in a 12 tm OPS where I need a MIF.

Paul Sporer

3:19

I think it's just too much micromanagement to try and react start-to-start. He went 7 against CWS despite giving up 5 ER so I don't really consider that a bad start. If you can still give the team 7, you weren't off on that day

He got nickel & dimed yesterday and had one bad inning v. LAA

I'd love to catch someone overreacting to that and get Fulmer rn

Michael Brand

Is Tanaka a buy low target?

Paul Sporer

3:21

He is a true buy low candidate. It looks awful and it's tough to buy. Too often we see buy low analysis for guys that have an underlying factor or three that makes it easy to buy them and maybe their surface ERA is just ugly. Those aren't really buy lows bc most ppl see the same stuff. With Tanaka, it's ugly, but it's also SUPER cheap so unless he's flat out hurt, I can see buying low

Razor Ramon

3:21

Which side you got? Carlos Santana, Manaea & Maeda for E. Encarnacion, J. Montgomery & Pomeranz.

Paul Sporer

3:21

Side B

Brutus Beefcake

3:21

Why do you think Maddon bats strikeout machine Ian Happ leadoff? What do you make of Happ?

Paul Sporer

3:22

He regularly puts guys in leadoff to jumpstart 'em

I like Happ, but as you say he strikes out too much

If he can get it down to a manageable level, he can hit .260 with plus PWR rest of way

but if he keeps striking out at this clip, he'll be sent out

bonk 2.no

3:23

Should the pirates have given Wade LeBlanc a chance to start?

Paul Sporer

3:24

Nah

Scooby

3:24

Thanks for the chat, Paul! What do you think about Zunino? I read he's been working with Edgar Martinez and has a different approach. Recently, the results look pretty good. Worth a shot in a 12-team mixer?

Paul Sporer

3:25

No problem! Catcher is so bad that I can see someone needing to pick him up, but it won't be me. He's fanning 40% of the time. Every hot streak he has, ppl look for reasons to buy in and he's just not any different

Kyle

3:25

Leury Garcia is starting at 2B tonight for WSox, chances he plays the keystone consistently?

Paul Sporer

3:26

Did Yolmer Sanchez get hurt? They've both been surprisingly solid, so it seems like a one-off

Rake of Lamb

3:26

You taking Realmuto or Contreras ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:26

Realmuto

Don't Breg,man

3:26

In trades, are stolen bases $4?

Paul Sporer

3:26

LOL

Rake of Lamb

3:27

How do you view Thames now that hes gone cold AF?

Paul Sporer

3:27

Still pretty hyped on him. He's coming of the funk which we all knew he'd have after the blistering April. I'd still buy

Brett Gardner

3:27

Is anything I'm doing real?

Paul Sporer

3:28

Nope, just a buncha fake homers

El Tigre

3:28

Can you rank these 3 left-handed CI: Duda, Gallo, and Adams

Paul Sporer

3:28

Adams, Duda, Gallo

3:28

My Jimmy Nelson and Franco for his Matt Carpenter. What says you?
