Good afternoon, everyone!

Castillo

2:20

L Castillo was just dropped and I'm playing for next year...all the FAAB?

Paul Sporer

2:21

Ya for next year consideration, I'm definitely scooping him

Dylan

2:21

Should I drop Hamels or Bundy for McCullers?

Paul Sporer

2:21

Hamels

Denny

2:21

Thanks for the chat, Paul! So you think it's safe to drop Harrison and Brantley in re-drafts at this point?

Paul Sporer

2:25

Yes, I'm letting go

Dave

2:25

We know you love Luis Castillo. How close is he to keeper status in a keep-5 league, where he's keepable in the last round (2 round per year inflation )?

Paul Sporer

2:25

With it being by round, I could see him being the 5th in such a scenario, I like it

Denny

2:28

Oh also, pick a catcher for the rest of the way: Hedges, Zunino, Gomes or Maldonado?

Paul Sporer

2:29

I guess Z because he's playing alright of late

Tim

2:29

So I need a waiver bat for the stretch run that will contribute a few HR/RBI without totally nuking my average. Who do you like most of Davidson, Joyce, Kepler and Solarte?

Paul Sporer

2:30

if you can spot Joyce v. righties, I dig it

Michael

2:30

2- starts next week: Stratton, Woodruff and Peters. Which ones and I can sit Alex Wood and/or Straily. I need Ws and Ks without killing my WHIP...

Paul Sporer

2:31

Peters 1st, Woodruff 2nd... not sure Stratton is getting a 2-start if they're using 6-man

Choo Choo

2:31

Giolito vs. SF or Hill vs Col this weekend?

Paul Sporer

2:32

That's tough. I think I'll just go with the better arm in Hill

Luckerboy

2:32

What's the argument _against_ Walker Buehler only coming out to an audio track of Ben Stein droning "bueller ... bueller ... bueller"?

Paul Sporer

2:32

There isn't one! lol

Tim

2:32

Who knew MC Ren was such a Brandon Woodruff fan?

Detroit's Most Wanted

2:36

Afternoon Paul, thank you for the chat. With the Indianapolis Indians in an 0-2 hole, will we see Tyler Glasnow pitch Tuesday for the Pirates on regular rest? Assuming the Indy Indians lose their series? Been waiting for a little too long for this guy. Fantasy playoffs next week.

Paul Sporer

2:37

Could see it. Can you scoop and stash or do you have to use him if you pick him up?

Slapshot

2:37

Do you see any reason to deviate on your rankings for Godley (MS), Corbin, and Walker (both in the SSH) tier for the rest of the season? Finally got my innings projection in ottoneu up to 1500 with help from Godley/Corbin pickups (have had Walker all year) and probably need to start being a bit more judicious with starting those three from here out.

Paul Sporer

2:37

I'm sticking with that same outlook on them. Mostly starting all 3 of them at this point and certainly not cutting any of them

Otani Breaks Fantasy?

2:38

How will/should Otani be handled in fantasy? Pitcher only? Hitter only? Dare I say eligible for P *and* UTL?

Paul Sporer

2:38

It's really a great question and I don't have an answer. I wonder if he should be a hitter AND pitcher and you can pick either or both. I feel like if we're going to count his hitting numbers while he's in a pitcher spot, then we'd have to do it for all. No easy answer and I imagine the fantasy sites are working on it to be ready

Ted

2:39

I'm starting Yu, Weaver, Corbin AND McHugh tonight, and the only one really making me nervous is Darvish. Baseball, huh?

Paul Sporer

2:39

Isn't it wild how that works? Still an auto-start, of course

Jake

2:40

With so little time left, can I realistically drop Darvish in a redraft? He has not been good

Paul Sporer

2:40

I can't do it. Only one truly bad start lately

Choo Choo

2:40

What your thoughts for Thames in 2018? Is he worth keeping in a 16 team Dynasty league?

Paul Sporer

2:41

I think he's in that solid-but-unspectacular group of 1B that emerged this year offering big power with no AVG to speak of. Dynasty keeps all right? I'd keep him on board

Keystones open doors

2:42

sup mang! been streaming 2B last couple months and need to pick one for H2H playoffs starting next week. No real category need just don't want to get hurt, 6x6 w/OBP + SLG: Cesar Hernandez / Neil Walker / Jed Lowrie / Cory Spangenberg / Ben Zobrist

Paul Sporer

2:45

Spangenberg doing a bit of everything

Brad Wesley

2:45

I know it's context specific, but are Godley or Berrios keepers in a keep 10 (14 teamer)? Currently only have 1 keeper arm (bats loaded), not sure if I'm just trying to force more balance.

Paul Sporer

2:45

I think they're both strong considerations, tbh, espec. in your scenario of already having the bats covered

Detroit's Most Wanted

2:47

What are your thoughts on Corey Seager, ROS? I know they are saying surgery won't come until offseason (if necessary), but do you think he can continue to hit for avg/decent power?

Paul Sporer

2:51

Ya I think he can still be his v good self the rest of the way. Of course the volatility of 3 weeks is huge so even if he struggles, it's not necessarily elbow-related

H2H Playoff Help!

2:51

Which hot hitter do you like best for a H2H categories (OBP OPS) match next week . . . Jose Martinez (arguably the hottest hitter right now with 400+ OBP and plenty of homers in the last 15 and good matchups . . . 3 v CIN 3 @CHC v. meh pitchers); Morales (super cold but 7 games against terrible BAL and MIN pitching); Mancini (@TOR and @NYY but faces some of their good guys in each) or Carlos Gomez (7 v SEA, @LAA)? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:52

Ride that Martinez Devil Magic!!!
