Seems viable in a vacuum. Really difficult to assess fully with zero context

Matt

5:01

You down with OBP? Yea you know me! Who down wit OBP? His name's Joey (Votto)!

Paul Sporer

5:01

lol

James

5:01

Will Quintana's fantasy number improve after trade to the Cubs?

Paul Sporer

5:02

He's been pitching brilliantly of late, so I'm not sure it'll change much

Luck Dragons

5:02

Cargo must-own in an 8-teamer?

Paul Sporer

5:02

No chance

Luck Dragons

Re: Lamb -- lefty heavy rotations

Paul Sporer

5:03

Ah, that's what I thought when I saw LAD, but then when you said the rest of the division I wasn't sure

Yarley

5:03

Ryon Healey gonna remain 10-team mixed CI-relevant ROS?

Paul Sporer

5:03

CI is super deep so he has a thin margin with any sort of giveback

StewZilla

5:03

Need to drop 1 to make room for Trout? C. Frazier, Avisail, G. Polanco, Bour, LoMo. Who gets the ax?

Paul Sporer

5:03

Frazier

5:06

Damn, I'm really trying not to make the prospect mistake of saying playing time re: Frazier bc he seems left out once they're healthy, but will they stay healthy with so many mid-30s guys? If you want to go Avisail, I don't hate it

5:06

Just floated idea of trading for JD (Donaldson), owner countered saying any deal would have to involve manny. I know 2ndary stats pointing to a big rebound for manny- should I move him? And if so how much more should I ask for? Keep forever league 10 teamer

Paul Sporer

5:06

Don't see the point in moving Manny for JD

Lee

5:12

Who's the first to die this season in game of thrones?

Paul Sporer

5:12

Tim

I don't watch GOT

Carter

5:12

Paul, how do view Scooter Gennett going forward. If you look at his numbers, he has been absolutely absurd. 15 hrs in 209 at bats. 147oPS+ Above average exit velocity and a great home ballpark. Name a couple 2nd baseman you value him around. He has somehow been better offensively than Daniel Murphy this season.

Paul Sporer

5:14

He is absolutely destroying righties. I'd take him over Pedroia, Merrifield, Drury -- top 13-15 2B

Carter

5:14

Tim Tebow, add in all formats? Jokes aside, do you think the odds Tebow gets called up as a publicity stunt is about 50%? SSS but he is absolutely mashing since getting called up .327 avg, .972 ops. 11 game hitting streak while cutting his K rate.

Paul Sporer

5:15

It'd be so embarrassing for the Mets to do it.... so they probably will

Dungeon Master

5:15

Ryan Zimmerman still gonna be ok 1B for a contender ROS? He's way back down to earth.

Paul Sporer

5:16

Ya I'm not moving off him yet

Woodrow the Impaler

5:16

Has Homer Bailey turned a corner?

Paul Sporer

5:17

I was super-encouraged by at COL, at ARI. Velo up, SwStr% is there. I'm keeping a close eye on him for sure. Scooped him in some deeper mixers

White Goodman

5:17

Altuve for McCullers, Matz, Schoop?

Paul Sporer

5:17

Fair enough. Prefer Altuve, epsec. if it's shallower, but it's fair

Dave

5:17

Dealt severino for price and oh (keeper league). Severino has keeper value but i'm going for it this year. How'd I do

Paul Sporer

5:18

I totally get it. I'm just worried about Oh and I think you need those saves to really win the deal. I'm hyped on Sevvy. That said, I do think Price will be strong rest of the way so it's probably even up at worst

5:19

What album or music have you been bumpin lately?

Paul Sporer

5:19

Been listening to the Post Malone album a bit.

Carter

5:19

Paul, I see you are making a joke about my Scooter Gennett question...but in the era of swing changes and small guys putting up huge numbers, it is not something to scoff at. He has been BETTER than Daniel Murphy this season in over 200 at bats.

Paul Sporer

5:19

Ivan

5:20

Just traded faria for giles. Needed saves badly. Good move?

Paul Sporer

5:20

Yes, I think so

Mystery Date

5:20

Paul, you're such a doll for doing this marathon chat with us. We all missed baseball so much. We should call you Paul the Doll. Or Paul the Baseball Doll.

Paul Sporer

5:20

lol

Ron Gant

G Polanco or J Brantley jr?
