If teams got rid of every douchebag, there wouldn't be any more Major League Baseball

Luck Dragons

3:30

who has more job security between jim johnson and justin wilson?

Paul Sporer

3:31

Both possible trade candidates which could change everything, but I'd lean Wilson barely if they stayed w/their respective teams

Chris

3:31

Every year Edwin has a monster run that makes up for his prolonged cold streaks. He already had one big run. Was that it for the year or do you think there's another? Thinking about getting out now.

Paul Sporer

3:32

Not sure he'll have another patented Edwin run, but I think he will be a top 10 1B rest of season

808

3:33

also...got a surplus of SS with Arcia, didi, and semien. trade $8 semien for his $7 fowler or $8 joc pederson?

Paul Sporer

3:33

That seems worthwhile. I'd go Dexter

Saul Pporer

3:33

What are your thoughts on Dansby Swanson long term? ESPN just had him as #51 in their keeper ranks.

Paul Sporer

3:33

Just don't see where that kind of fantasy value is coming from. I think he'll be solid, but unspectacular

Ryan

3:34

Most shocking name to be traded at the deadline will be???

Paul Sporer

3:34

Gerrit Cole

Billy

3:35

What's up with Donaldson? Nagging injury from the early season or actual decline? You expect he'll produce like his draft slot for the 2nd half?

Paul Sporer

3:35

Ya I think it's injury more than any major falloff

Luck Dragons

3:36

Domingo Santana ownable in shallow league over Hosmer, Cain, Cargo, Brantley types?

Paul Sporer

3:37

Absolutely. He's 11th at OF in ESPN's player rater

Matt

3:37

Wilson Ramos a top 10 catcher ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:37

Yes

Blockbuster

3:37

Michael Conforto, Ryan Zimmerman, and Mike Zunino for Carlos Martinez and Wil Myers?

Paul Sporer

3:37

Fair deal

Jiggles

3:37

Benintendi is sitting against a good, not great, LHP today. Is this what we can expect going forward or will Farrell just let him play?

Paul Sporer

3:38

Has he been missing other games vL?

3:38

Justin Turner or Corey Seager ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:40

I really don't see much of a split between 'em. Maybe position you need more splits em?

Fantasy Theories

3:40

My league is a points league, and if been thinking about this for awhile. If I trade the best player on my team, say Altuve, for 3 solid players doesnt that make sense as far as points go? If Altuve gets 500 points this year and I get 3 players who lets say get around the 300-400 range doesn't that make too much sense? 1200>400. Is there a hole in my theory I am not seeing?

Paul Sporer

3:42

Well it depends who those other players are replacing. Presumably you're improving three spots, but it's probably closer to 1200>1000 and then in a shallow league, you could feasibly find players in season that make it even closer. That's why you stack the top tier, bankable talent instead

808

3:42

whats your take on fowler rest of season and going forward in dynasty?

Paul Sporer

3:42

Don't see any reason why he won't be his solid self, doing a bit of everything

Desperate!!!

3:43

I waited too long to draft an ace but currently in 1st in 12 tm h2h categories league with holds. SP rotation comprised of Paxton, Quintana, Cole, Berrios, J. Gray, Taillon, Nelson, Castillo, J. Monty, Salazar. I have a solid offense. Do I need to trade for a top 12 SP or is my quantity over high end quality enough? Please advise?

Paul Sporer

3:43

Think you have enough solid starters here. I mean, you'd really only be improving by getting the superaces and they'll cost you a ton

BRB - taking Charlotte out

RRH

3:50

Thoughts on Verlander? I keep waiting for a switch to flip but it just doesn't seem like it's gonna happen

Paul Sporer

3:51

I hear ya , it's definitely frustrating. He has mentioned the ball being an issue and it seems to have taken a little from his entire arsenal and it's had a substantial impact. Still tough to really sit him, but expectations are definitely lowered

Luck Dragons

3:51

Roto or H2H with 2-week playoffs?

Paul Sporer

3:51

Always been a roto guy moreso, but have come around on H2H a bit lately

TheDuck

3:51

Happy Friday, Paul! Can you rank these guys in a dynasty, keep-forever roto format (15 team, 5 OF, 2C): Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Andrew Benintendi, Gary Sanchez, Corey Seager

Paul Sporer

3:52

Seager, Judge, Sanchez, Belly, Beni

Timmay

3:52

Why are you higher on guys like Taillon, Shark and Nelson than Cueto and Hamels?

Paul Sporer

3:55

They've been appreciably better and I have concerns about the skills has shown this year. Cueto's in the Must-Start tier w/the others so it's really not much difference

Matt

3:57

Who do you know in the Jays org? I need them to announce their rotation for the weekend so I can set my lineup!
