Harper and Healthy Trout

Otherwise, I'm OK ponying up for those elite aces

Zark

3:17

Lance Lynn's peripherals don't back the ERA up. Thoughts on ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:18

In fairness, they kinda never do for Lynn. His HR spike is the only real worry I have, but I still value him as a mid-3.00s arm

F Scott Fitz

3:18

I'm a long time Chris Davis owner in a dynasty league. Needless to say the last few years have been frustrating. Should I look to move him for a prospect at this point?

Paul Sporer

3:18

I'd probably ride it out a bit longer so you're not selling completely low

Trevor Story

3:19

Is this the real me or will go on a crazy hit streak?

Paul Sporer

3:20

I think Story heats up. These kinda lows are something we sign up for with a 30%+ K rate guy

Boof

3:25

I just added Julio Teheran in a 10-teamer for Adam Wainwright. If you take out his two shelled starts, since May 10, Teheran has a 1.72 ERA. Seems like the turnaround is coming, no?

Paul Sporer

3:26

Don't hate the move, but as for Teheran specifically I just don't see enough in the base skills to be SUPER excited about a return. Even in those good outings, he's still not getting Ks, walking too many, and allowing HRs

Guest

3:27

Can I bench Polanco for Trumbo/Fowler in a 12-teamer or do I just have to keep running him out there and hope he can put it together?

Paul Sporer

3:27

I'm fine with benching

Pie

3:27

A league mate has told me he's more or less throwing in the towel for this season in our 12 team, keep 5 (for up to 4 years) league. Is my Cody Bellinger (will be kept at half-ESPN price next year) for his Carlos Martinez (likely not kept) a fair deal?

Paul Sporer

3:27

Ya I think that's a good offer for someone punting rest of the yaer

year*

Bernie Brewer

3:27

Since Freeman got hurt, I've been looking to trade for a 1B unsuccesfully. Lowering my expectations now, but who is most sustainable: R. Zimmerman, Smoak, Bour?

Paul Sporer

3:28

I'd go Zimm, Bour, Smoak. Zimm & Bour are close

Tim

3:29

Paul! I went away for a long weekend and now my team sucks! Fix it!

Paul Sporer

3:29

CUT EVERYONE AND START OVER!!!!

Edwin

3:29

Bellinger for degrom ... no-brainer for the degrom-getter?

Paul Sporer

3:29

Not sure it's a no-brainer with some of his struggles, but I'd do it

Grux

3:29

Do you like any other modes in The Show. I've only played DD for a bit and like it but I love RRTTS and Franchise

Paul Sporer

3:30

Love DD as well. I can't get hooked on RTTS these days after playing a ton in '14, but I do like Franchise

Andrew

3:30

I have an offer of Alex Wood and Justin Turner for my Jake Lamb. I should take this in a H2H league, right?

Paul Sporer

3:30

Holy shit, yes

3:30

Is B Hamilton hurt? Just slumping? Are you worried?

Paul Sporer

3:30

Or still not a good hitter

That said, he is battling a thumb injury

3:31

I'm not worried bc I never have any expectations for him beyond the SBs

JD15

3:31

Which side do you prefer: Schwarber and Givens or Stras and K. Herrera in a holds and saves league?

Paul Sporer

3:31

side B

Matt

3:32

Could you give us a few buy-low guys you're eyeing as trade targets lately?

Paul Sporer

3:33

Not sure Machado would be available, but ANY discount would be appealing. Otherwise, Franco, Cargo, Frazier for hitters; Cole, Cueto, Tanaka for pitchers

3:33

Can you rank ROS? Cotton, Clevinger, Biagini, Faria.

Paul Sporer

3:34

Hmm, off the dome I'd say Biagini, Faria, Cotton, Clevinger, but I could see Clev maybe passing Cotton after SP deep-dive this weekend for my upcoming rankings update

Matt

3:34

Also just wanna say your long-ass Friday chats are the best. Really appreciate you doing these every week.

(Even with your Robbie Ray opinions)

Paul Sporer

3:34

Thanks for the kind words!

Eager to see if this mechanical change is a driving force behind Ray's recent success. 2 big starts at home was great, though I didn't really flinch with the SD one. The MIL one was nice, though

Nick

3:35

Kepler legit or will he be league average WRC+ wise?
