What is up everyone!! Gotta do a tight hour today, so let's get going.

Wally the Green Monster

2:05

K. Broxton and E. Suarez for T. Frazier. Who wins that trade? (the team with Frazier needs SBs and has other 3B)

Paul Sporer

2:05

Think I prefer side A, but I think Frazier will be solid rest of season

Tom

2:07

Bruce Rondon has 5 shutout innings since his recall, and all in the 8th inning - 1 win, 3 holds. Is he looking as good as these results, and is he now the guy to stash anticipating a Justin Wilson trade?

Paul Sporer

2:08

I think he is the stash if you're worried about a Wilson trade, but I've fallen for him many a time

Bernie Brewer

2:08

I have Schwarber. I'm not sure what to expect with his return. I was offered Duda and Mancini for him. Should I accept that?

Paul Sporer

2:08

Ya I'd take both. All three are kinda the same player and you're getting 2 for 1

Baryolo Cologne

2:08

Who wins a Conforto for Alex Wood trade this year? 3 years? 5 years? Assume they both cost the same.

Paul Sporer

2:09

So difficult to project out w/SPs, espec. ones w/injury history. I'd say Wood this year; Conforto in future

Jimmy

2:09

Would you trade Michael Pineda for Jeff Samardzija?

Paul Sporer

2:09

I would

Mariner Moose

2:09

Is Luke Weaver going to stay in the bullpen? If so, can I drop him? I was hopeful for him as a SP.

Paul Sporer

2:10

Barring injury, he will stay in the pen, but injuries happen allll the time

Henry

2:10

Should I start Gausman at Minnesota today?

Paul Sporer

2:13

Ya I probably would

I mean, maybe not in 10-team, but he's looked a lot better of late

Getting feel for the splitter again

JSC

2:14

Gregory Polanco or Cameron Maybin in a shallow 10 team mixed.

Paul Sporer

2:14

If SBs are the big need, I'd go Maybin. Otherwise, I'd go Polly.

Paul Sporer's Evil Twin

2:17

If I'm looking for a 1b, and wanna deal Donaldson, who do I shoot for?

Paul Sporer

2:17

Think you can still ask for anyone outside of Votto, Goldy, Zimm, and maybe Rizzo now that he's on fire

Big Tuna

2:17

Who are your favorite choices for spec saves going forward?

Paul Sporer

2:18

Rosenthal, Kahnle bc of D Rob possible trade, Phelps, Doolittle

Chin Music

2:18

Was I crazy giving up Darvish, Hamilton, Knebel and Godley for Kershaw?

Paul Sporer

2:19

Really depends on league type

Rob

2:19

Is Matt carpenter doing this on purpose (50+% flyball) or is this just an extreme swing that'll even out in the second half? That 230 batting average is hurting quite a bit

Paul Sporer

2:21

Ya there's no way it's not purposeful. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if he shifted it down a bit to get some more base hits. He's definitely power-focused these days, though

JSC

2:21

Shallow 10 team mixed, which duo do you prefer Ray & Paxton or Quintana & G. Cole?

Paul Sporer

2:22

That's pretty close, but I think I'll take the lefties by a hair

Paul Sporer's Evil Twin

2:22

I traded Kluber away for Josh Donaldson 2 weeks ago. Ugh. Did I make a horrible mistake?

Paul Sporer

2:23

It certainly doesn't feel great with the way Kluber has been pitching, but as long as he's healthy, Donaldson will have a strong 2H

Jimmy

2:23

Haniger or Cargo - Dynasty, keep forever?

Paul Sporer

2:23

Haniger on age alone. I don't necessarily think Cargo is toast, but it seems like he's gotta be ailing this year and playing through it

poorly, I might add

Trevor cahill

2:23

I have a 62% ground ball rate and it's sexy. Can I keep this up?

Paul Sporer

2:24

Ya I definitely think so. The question is whether the K% is real and I buy into it as well

2:24

trade proposal in AL-only league. I give Cam Bedrosian for Jarrod Dyson. I have Kintzler, Justin Wilson (Shane Greene too as insurance if Wilson gets traded) plus Kahnle who will probably get saves soon. I really need steals but I'm worried Dyson gets traded to NL. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

2:25

Worth mentioning Greene & Alex Wilson as J.Wilson insurance to the person who asked about Rondon. I think your Dyson concerns are built into the cost as Bedrosian just isn't that big of a loss for you specifically w/your saves setup

Jay

2:25

I'm in 1st place but I need pitching pretty badly in a 12 team mixed, non keeper. Being offered McCullers, Orl. Arcia, Nova and Michael Taylor for Kris Bryant and Cozart. My best SPs are DeGrom and Darvis. I have Goldschmidt, Betts, and Murphy as my anchors. OK to move Bryant for this package?

Paul Sporer

2:26

No, I love McCullers, but I need a more bankable (read: better health record bc his talent is off the charts) arm for KB
