Pearce

Tallulah Trebuchet

3:34

I'm fine on starters and want to gain some ground in Ks, ERA, and WHIP, all three of which are tight races. I am too far behind the person ahead of me in saves to gain any ground there. So my question is, setting saves aside, who are your favorite relievers who can help me in those categories? Maybe even multi-inning guys?

Paul Sporer

3:36

Outside of closers - Tommy Kahnle, Chad Green, Pat Neshek, Archie Bradley, Chris Devenski, Kirby Yates, Blake Parker. Brian Duensing has been sneak-tip solid, too

Parra the Rappa

3:36

Dylan Bundy ROS? He has been hot lately. Better than Straily or Estrada?

Paul Sporer

3:37

Has def looked sharp, but those 3 are the same kinda guy. I'd dig in on their schedules and see if you can find an edge there. Not sure there are vast skill differences between 'em

Bob

3:37

Hey Paul! Avila or Zunino in a Roto OBP?

Paul Sporer

3:37

#NeverZunino

Peter

3:37

With the Nationals almost assuredly being #2 seed in playoffs, should I consider moving scherzer in a redraft league? Will he be given a lighter load, skipped starts here in the next 7 weeks ?

Paul Sporer

3:37

I feel like we never really see that and I especially don't see it with Max

bob loblaw

3:37

best case scenario for dom smith ---- mark grace?

Paul Sporer

3:37

Ya, it seems so

Jason

3:38

Who you got? Jordan Montgomery or Luis Castillo ROS? Or, do you think they both get shut down soon?

Paul Sporer

3:40

I'll take J Mo. They might not be able to shut him down if they need him while Cincy can do whatever they want (though Castillo had 130 IP last yr so I'm not sure he's an automatic shutdown candidate)

Dave

3:40

Everybody is trying to get Bellinger from me (12 team h2h, obp league). Somebody just offered Severino, Alex Wood, Gary Sanchez, AND Mookie Betts for him (Severino, Sanchez, and Belly will all be keepable for 2018, only Belli for 2019). Even if I'm trying to win this year, I gotta say no to this, right?

Paul Sporer

3:40

Wait, why would you say no? That's an insane deal for you, no?

toki

3:40

10 team OPS Wil Myers and Sentzel for Nola. Which side do you like value wise?

Paul Sporer

3:41

Pretty fair, I prefer Nola side even though I usually opt for hitters. Just love Nola's talent when healthy

Detroit's Most Wanted

3:41

Do you think Danny Salazar keeps this up ROS? Has looked great since he came off the DL

Paul Sporer

3:41

Yes, I think he remains a strong option ROS. We've seen it before and he's been nails since coming back.

Max Kepler

3:42

Is Max Kepler a good example of growth not being linear this year? Or is this closer to what he is? My eyes tell me its the former

Paul Sporer

3:42

Ya I think he's better than this. Plus, there has been some growth vR, it's just that he's a nightmare vL this year

Webster

3:42

acuna

Paul Sporer

3:42

matata

Jean Ralphio

3:42

Would you trade Stanton for Kershaw? (10 team keeper)

Paul Sporer

3:43

Probably not

BP for my Byung Ho

3:43

Why can't I drop Healy? Please tell why I shouldn't. 16 team 6x6 h2h

Paul Sporer

3:48

16 team league seems tough to cut. I think I'd ride it out

Richard

3:48

Hi Paul. 12 team AL Only. Do you prefer Junis or Pruitt ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:49

Gimme Junis, but I can't find much split between 'em

Porcho Villa

3:49

Thoughts on your man Alex Wood? Looked better this week vs. ARI but still worried about fatigue...

Paul Sporer

3:50

Was encouraged by the reports of his bullpen changes that brought the velo back. Still a big fan

Slamboni

3:50

Which 2 of these 3 should I start: Manaea vs BAL, Ervin Santana @ DET, Wacha vs ATL

Paul Sporer

3:50

Wacha and Big Erv

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

3:51

I feel like I have a safe enough lead now where I'm going to win my league. Serve me some humble pie so I don't become lackadaisical.

Paul Sporer

3:51

Think about quickly injuries can change your entire outlook. Just go review the superstars who've been injured in the last month. Your team isn't immune. Never take your foot off the gas

Porcho Villa

3:51

Would you trade Thames to get Gallo straight up right now?

Paul Sporer

3:51

Sure

Jason

3:51

Sonny Gray due for some wins based on the QS streak? Or should I be worried?

Paul Sporer

3:52

Much better situation for him to get Ws... though they're a fickle bitch
