My SP rankings are updated, let's talk some baseball!!

Bob

2:32

Hey Paul! Thanks for the rankings update. I was offered Yu for my GCole and Arrieta in a QS league. Take it?

Paul Sporer

2:33

No problem! I might do that in a shallower league, but it's steep

Hans Kluber

2:33

Why did Danny Duffy's RoS suddenly change dramatically for ERA?

Paul Sporer

2:33

Not sure

brad

2:33

Thanks for sp rankings and back to back chats. How come Rg hasn't been doing rankings on other positions? thanks.

Paul Sporer

2:34

Just not something we've prioritized. I think SP rankings are most important in-season. Hitters are so standings-dependent, IMO.

Thanks for the chat!

2:34

Is chris davis a top 20 first basemen ROS when he comes back?

Paul Sporer

2:36

Give or take. There are large clusters of similar 1B after the top 10

seth

2:36

Schebler for Alonso, who you got this year?

Paul Sporer

2:37

Alonso by a nose in hopes he's traded somewhere to boost his R/RBI output

Hans Kluber

2:37

OBP/QS League 3 Keepers: McCullers+Schoop too much for Altuve?

Paul Sporer

2:37

No, might not be enough tbh.

Mark Matheny

2:37

I was offered Miggy for Quintana and Moncada in dynasty. I'm in 1st and have Alonso at !B. Should I make this move?

Paul Sporer

2:38

Nah. I do think Miggy will have a strong run at some pt over the 2nd half, but if I'm dealing Moncada it's to get a bigger upgrade and something more bankable. While I have confidence in the skills Miggy has shown even with the results being light, his health is a lingering concern

Hans Kluber

2:38

Sean Manaea or Danny Duffy?

Paul Sporer

George is Curious

2:39

Currently rolling out Victor Martinez as 1B in my AL-only keeper league. I can probably toss a few auction dollars to a fellow GM for either LoMo or C. Davis. Should I go for the upgrade and if so, which guy do I target?

Paul Sporer

2:39

A worthy upgrade, yes. Davis if he's cheaper; LoMo if they cost the same

Tony the Tiger

2:39

Is it a foregone conclusion that the Tigers are trading away Justin Wilson?

Paul Sporer

2:39

No, but quite likely it seems

Thanks for the chat!

2:40

Are there plans to create tiered rankings for other positions? It's much more helpful to new players to evaluate across positions for trades/upgrades (e.g. target a tier II 2B for a SS starting pitcher)

Paul Sporer

2:40

There are not, sorry

Mike

2:40

Traded Justin Turner, Edwin Encarnacion and Addison Reed for Corey Seager, Josh Donaldson and Kenta Maeda. Shallow league, I'll probably cut Maeda. Guessing Reed gets dealt to a non-closer role. You like the deal?

Paul Sporer

2:41

Seems fine. Probably neutral, but there is a path to winning the deal, espec if JD is traded and goes off

Berrio-good

2:41

Is Moncada, Buxton, Mazara, and Berrios too much to offer for Sale in a dynasty league. I'm going for it this year.

Paul Sporer

2:42

That seems pretty steep, though I'd imagine only Mazara was in your lineup outside of Berrios who is being replaced by Sale. Feel like 3 of the 4 should get it done, no?

Mike

2:42

Who is Washington's closer until they trade for someone? Fat Albers?

Paul Sporer

2:42

Seems to be committee until the trade

Taylor

2:42

fantasy keeper question: feel my team is in position to win now, but want to get fair value for Robles. I give up Robles (4 year keeper once called up) and cueto (gone after this year). I receive greinke (keeper for next year too), wade Davis (gone after this year) and sixto Sanchez (4 year keeper once called up). Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

2:43

Assuming the SP/RP combo offers high impact for your standings, that seems fair and you're still getting a future piece in Sanchez

Please Help

2:43

I lost Quintana and am now down to 4 SP. I could add some scrubs off the FA list, but I'm afraid of blowing up my ERA. Am I better off waiting to add pitching help until teams sell and better options open up?

Paul Sporer

2:44

Lost him in AL-only? Ya, probably go with some middle relievers in hopes that some NLers come over

Hausy

2:44

Would you give up Ahmed Rosario who I keep for $1 for 4 years for Machado who I keep for 4 years at $52? ($260 budget)

Paul Sporer

2:44

I imagine you're going for it this year? I'd do it

Mike

2:44

Are you worried that Bum will be himself ROS or should I be cautious in buying for ROS

Paul Sporer

2:45

Always a little concerned when someone is returning from injury, but I ranked him quite high

King

2:45

12 team OBP: Would you move CMart ($18), + Yelich ($22) for Machado (unkeepable) and one of Archer ($20) or Quintana ($8). sano shifts to OF, Machado at 3B.

Paul Sporer

2:45

I would, yes

Devil's Advocate

2:45

Why wouldn't I drop Story for DeJong at this point?
