Paul Sporer

3:35

I think he'll linger around average rest of this year, but I do think he can be a 115 kind of guy in the future

Dirk Diggler

3:35

Duvall or Justin Upton?

Paul Sporer

3:36

J Up but they're pretty close. Duvall has impressed me by holding up well this season

Jose

3:36

Berrios is berri good

Paul Sporer

3:36

I'm a huge fan!

dave in slc

3:36

which braves starter do you like better ros of teheran and folty? can newcombe be better than either or both?

Paul Sporer

3:37

Teheran. Eh, he *could*, but I'd wanna be careful on not overrating his first start w/just 2 BB. He walked 5 per nine in the minors so I see some major blowups in Newcomb's future, too

John

3:37

Think Wilson Ramos will have a better ROS than Lucroy? This is seeming more and more like one of Lucroy's unproductive years (beyond BA)...

Paul Sporer

3:37

I have a hard time going that far w/Ramos coming off a severe injury, but I understand the Lucroy frustration

Drenjamin

3:37

Will Miggy have more power #'s RoS? His hitting profile thus far seems to show he should, but there's the "playing through injuries" concern

Paul Sporer

3:39

Ya the back is a real concern. Wonder if a 2 week stint on the DL would help or if he just has to keep grinding through it. Healthy Miggy would be about 20 HR ROS, so ailing back Miggy is 16-17

dave in slc

3:39

does knebel stay in milwakee and keep the role all season?

Paul Sporer

3:39

I think so, yes

Jose

3:39

Mazara or Haniger ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:39

Haniger is more fully formed

Alex

3:39

Story was just recently dropped in my deep 12-teamer. You think I should pounce?

Paul Sporer

3:39

Probably. I only say that bc I don't know your MI situation, but someone in the league should. I'm not leaving Story free in a 12-teamer

Crazy Aunt Marie

3:40

Curious how you view this trade. In a keeper I moved Arenado and Stanton for Rizzo and Donaldson. To me Rizzo was a big get as he's about to be 2nd base eligible. Good move despite the large age gap between Arenado and Donaldson?

Paul Sporer

3:40

I get the appeal of Rizzo w/the 2B elig. and that certainly makes it more palatable. I just love Arenado so much that I would've had a hard time doing it, but I don't hate it

Mitch Haniger

3:40

Do you think offering me for CarGo can get it done right now?

Paul Sporer

3:41

I would hope so, but I don't think I wanna do that even though I recommend buying low on Cargo. I'm a big Haniger fan so I'd trying something else

JD15

3:41

You buyin what Zunnino is selling? I know he's done it before but he's a hot bat at a premium position

Paul Sporer

3:41

No, never. Or at least not until he shows some discernible skill improvement. As you mentioned, we've been here before

Ant

3:41

You starting Tanaka tomorrow @ OAK?

Paul Sporer

3:42

If you can't start at OAK, you gotta cut him so yes I am

Pat G

3:42

I'll admit, Cozart gave me the most pause, but based on exit velo and track record, I'm sticking with Carp.

Paul Sporer

3:42

I'm OK with your reasoning, but I think Cozart's gains are legit

Trout

3:42

G. Polanco or Bradley Zimmer ROS and, say, the next 2-3 years?

Paul Sporer

3:42

Wish I had a crystal ball to see Polanco's shoulder health. I still love Polly, so I'll go with him now and future, but that shoulder is worrisome

Menta

3:43

Okay to drop Thor in shallow redrafts? Tried trading, but no takers.

Paul Sporer

3:43

Yeah, a month til he touches a ball

Drenjamin

3:43

Kimbrel, Chapman, Kenley, or Britton?

Paul Sporer

3:43

Kenley, Kimbrel, Chap, Britton is my rank

FGM

3:43

crazy to trade Arrieta for Thor in a dynasty, even if I'm competing this year?

Paul Sporer

3:43

Hmmm, no I actually kinda like that even though you're sacrificing for this year. Sure, you're competing, but not BECAUSE of Arrieta

TheDuck

3:43

How does the news that Miggy has been playing through multiple injuries effect your ROS projections for him?

Paul Sporer

3:44

I kinda figured he was, tbh, but it speaks to his greatness bc his profile is still intact and suggests he'll get his numbers. I gotta knock a few HRs off the projection, but he's still going to be good. This creates a buying opp. IMO

Rich

3:44

What's your must read book or books for anyone who is really into sabermetrics?

Paul Sporer

3:45

Ahead of the Curve by Brian Kenny was really good. Love the Travis Sawchik and Jonah Keri books on PIT and TB, respectively. The Arm isn't sabermetrics, but it's amazing

Paul

3:45

Got offered Dickerson straight up for Holland. OF currently has Braun, JD, Polanco, Conforto. RPs are Holland, Giles, Rivero, Ottavino, Bedrosian. H2H categories. Desperately need someone else's take here other than my own. Dickerson seems like major regression candidate, but is Holland too expensive a price?
