Paul Sporer

3:05

At the risk of copping out, it's really needs-based. If you need SBs, you go Villar

Thanks for the chat!

3:05

Do you see any hope for Roark this season?

Paul Sporer

3:08

Not really, no. The fastball just isn't there

Luck Dragons

3:08

Is Carlos Rodon a walk machine?

Paul Sporer

3:09

He'd really improved his BB% last year so I'm not going to say this rate through 3 starts is his new level

Tim

3:09

Jimmy Nelson at 25 in your ranks, woah. You didn't sound quite as high on him as Eno did. Has something changed for you?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Part of it is the lack of other reliables to slot ahead of him, but that 20% K-BB is sexy

Miller

3:10

Moncada for Grienke fair in dynasty?

Paul Sporer

3:10

I think so, yes

808

3:10

ottoneu fangraphs points...im offering $27 archer $33 yelich for his $65 trout and $3 faria.

Paul Sporer

3:10

I'm not sure it gets the job done

Paully

3:10

Hey Paul, whats up with Wil Myers? I got Rizzo Alosono and Myers. Is he the odd man out and should be traded?

Paul Sporer

3:11

Nothing is up, he's pacing to 2016 almost exactly. I'd still favor him over Alonso bc of the speed

Dave

3:11

For the "minors" guys-- is your ranking based on impact if they're in the majors or a combination of impact/opportunity?

Paul Sporer

3:12

They aren't ranked actually. Was thinking of doing a separate piece about minor leaguers

dave in slc

3:12

nl only faab how much do you throw at quintana? any other difference makers that may come over or take the bird in the hand?

Paul Sporer

3:14

Not sure who'd come over that is better, so I'd focus on him for sure. I'd be putting most of my budget on him if SP was my big need

Thanks for the chat!

3:14

If STL trades/loses a starting pitcher who would be next in line? Weaver? Flaherty?

Paul Sporer

3:14

I'd think Weaver

Dilbert the Pilbert

3:14

Hello! Offered Dee Gordon for Marcel Ozuna. I need steals, but have Mallex. Worth it?

Paul Sporer

3:15

He certainly addresses your SBs, but I think I'd want more for Ozuna. Expand it to 2-for-2 where you get another upgrade?

Jaas

3:15

Would you trade E. Thames to get Arrieta if your SPs sucked and you're in it this year? 10 team H2H, QS & OBP. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

3:17

Ehh, I'd want someone better in OBP since that favors Thames. I just don't see Arrieta getting a ton better

Luck Dragons

3:17

Springer or Donalson ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:17

Springer

Ben

3:17

You see Aaron Sanchez having a big second half? Astros start wasn't promising.

Paul Sporer

3:18

Astros can embarrass anyone. I'm putting some confidence in him for now, but will assess again after a couple more starts

dee's nuts

3:20

Your thoughts on Chance Adams (presumably he gets to fill in for Pineda)?

Paul Sporer

3:23

Strong fastball, has been fantastic in AA/AAA this year. I could see him being a solid mid-rotation arm (high-3.00s to low-4.00s ERA w/some Ks) out of the gate

Busted Pinata

3:23

I was surprised to see Jordan Montgomery ranked so highly do you think there is upside in him ROS or is that more due a relatively safe floor?

Paul Sporer

3:25

Both really. I think he can add Ks and get better than we've seen, but if not I think he's pretty stable to be no worse than a low-4.00s guy. We obviously don't want that, but that's a perfectly viable floor.

3:25

I find it crazy that in real life a good major leaguer requires a lot of good prospects to acquire. However in the keeper league I'm in, an owner must give up 2-3 good major leaguers to acquire a good prospect. Do you experience this in your leagues as well? I tend to always deal my prospects away while many others in my league get prospect crazy.

Paul Sporer

3:25

Just depends on league. Prospects are often overvalued in fantasy because everyone fantasizes over the unknown

Phil

3:26

Yesterday you said Thames as a Top 12-15 1B rest of season. In May a leaguemate turned down my trade offer for him and claimed Thames would hit 50 HRs and that he would only take an "elite" guy in exchange for Thames. Do I remind him of this?

Paul Sporer

3:26

I was pretty drunk on Thames earlier this year, too. I essentially saw him going on Judge's path and Judge going on his.

dave in slc

3:26

your a tigers guy. who gets traded? JD? Wilson? Verlander? Someone else? Nobody?

Paul Sporer

3:26

JD and Wilson, imo

Bob

3:26

For JD Martinez, do you expect similar 2H stats as 1H? Think he gets to 30 HRs?

Paul Sporer

3:27

Ya I think he gets there. He will probably be on a new team, but I expect him to rake

Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe

3:27

With Alex Bregman being a little bitch on Twitter (berating a fan and subsequently closing his account), if the Astros had an opportunity to improve their team and otherwise evenly rated the return of Alex Bregman versus their minor leaguers, would they jettison the d-bag?
