Thanks, Rob!

Is Jose Ramirez a top 50 keeper?

Paul Sporer

3:08

Ya I think so

Beefcake

3:08

Is Robbie Ray an ace now, or do you see him regressing to his projected 3.70/1.30?

Paul Sporer

3:10

You don't get ace status off 10 starts, but he's made some mechanical changes that are paying dividends. Had a strong two-start at home, too. Eager to see how he continues to hold up in ARI

Kenton

3:10

How soon should we be stashing Starling Marte in 10-team? Still sitting on waivers in mine, and I'd have to drop a K. Broxton-type to add.

Paul Sporer

3:12

About now, tbh. I'm considering him in an NL only but I have to take the dead spot until he returns so I'm playing chicken with my leaguemates. Not sure if I wanna do it this week or next

Porcho Villa

3:12

Do you think Maeda will make it back into the Dodgers' rotation soon? I feel like he's not droppable. In a not unrelated story, my team name is I Maeda Huge Mistake.

Paul Sporer

3:13

LOL great name. I think he'll be in and out. I understand cutting him in 10- and 12-teamers bc he's just unreliable bc of role

Squints

3:13

Haniger for Alonso - who wins that trade?

Paul Sporer

3:13

Not sure it's a clear win for anyone. Solid deal that hopefully fits needs

Porcho Villa

3:13

Another Thames would you rather: Thames or Belt?

Paul Sporer

3:13

Thames

Ken

3:13

So Castellanos is still top five in hard hit %, but he's also still not doing much (fantasy-wise) aside from eating a spot on my roster. In what size league are you dropping him?

Paul Sporer

3:13

10 almost certainly has something else on the wire. 12 might, but everywhere else I'm holding

Rikki Swango

3:13

Which side: Votto and J Montgomery for Kershaw and C Santana? Thx

Paul Sporer

3:13

Kershaw side

Lucky

3:13

The pitcher with the most saves in the Angels' pen ROS is _____?

Paul Sporer

3:13

Norris

Anthony

3:14

is Hicks legit long term?

Paul Sporer

3:14

He fits my "Year Early" thing bc I'm always a year early on players and I loved him last year

Frustrated CarGo Owner

3:14

Am I crazy to consider trading Carlos Gonzalez straight up for Corey Knebel in a keeper league? I need another solid closer and I have this feeling that Carlos is toast. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

3:14

No you're not. Cargo might go on a run, but Knebel has been NASTYYYYY. Good thing the Tigers traded him, they never need relievers (that's mostly tongue in cheek, they traded him for Soria when making a run and needing RPs)

3:15

But I do wonder if they could've just promoted Knebel and let him figure it out. He'd been in the majors before by the time he was dealt. Just a salty Tigers fan.

Eric

3:15

Has Fiers made an adjustment that will

keep him with a sub 4s era ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:16

There is an adjustment, but simple regression kicked in, too. The HR rate just couldn't stay that absurd. But he also started using sinkers more. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-astros-grand-fastball-experiment/

Tom

3:17

Cut bait on Trumbo? He is losing playing time to Schebler and B. Zimmer

Paul Sporer

3:18

I kept waiting for the shoe to drop last year and it didn't... until this year. I still think he has a surge in him, but OF is mad deep so I can see playing others over him.

Sean

3:19

Cut bait with Story?

Paul Sporer

3:19

Hitting .292 in last 30 and we know how good he can be when he gets going

WILSON CONTRERAS

3:19

Please rank Judge Conforto Bellinger Betts

Paul Sporer

3:20

Betts, Judge, Bellinger, Conforto

Nick

3:21

Do Kopech or Senzel sniff the Show this year?

Paul Sporer

3:21

I don't think so, Tim

Cubs 2016

3:21

Uh, Happ is .261 over the last 15, and five dingers!

Paul Sporer

3:21

Ooh, .261!

Watch out, Ted Williams, here comes Ian Happ

Professor Donaldson

3:22

How worried should I be starting Yu and Tanaka tonight?

Paul Sporer

3:22

I understand the nerves, but I think you gotta roll both. Yu for sure.
