So Folty, Fister, Tomlin, Lugo and Fiers are all on waivers in my 12-teamer. Think any of them are worth an add? I need wins, but don't have much room to screw up my ratios (3.90/1.26).

Paul Sporer

2:54

The ratio part is what makes it tough bc I wouldn't mind going with Fister, Fiers, or even Tomlin (only bc of Cleveland), but they all carry real ratio risk

Minty

2:55

Think we see Vlad next year?

Paul Sporer

2:55

I won't fully rule it out the way we see guys progress these days, but I'd bet against it

Choo Choo

2:58

Cargo has come around lately. Late season hot streak?

Paul Sporer

2:59

Better late than never, I guess. Such a brutal season, though

Lenny

2:59

Keep 2 for next year (and beyond) at similar costs, who ya got: luis castillo, alex wood, ronald acuna, ozzie albies, kevin kiermaier, nomar mazara, aaron altherr

Paul Sporer

2:59

Would need to know depth of league to know how viable Acuna is here, but otherwise I'd be looking at one of Castillo/Wood and one of Mazara/Kiermaier

Pod follow-up: Would you add Robles or JP Crawford over a dude like Kepler or Tommy Joseph to fill a newly opened UTIL spot?

Paul Sporer

3:01

Crawford has a better angle on PT, so he'd be the choice over Robles ehre

Minty

3:01

You in or out on the Robles hype?

Paul Sporer

3:01

In long-term, don't see much of anything coming this season

Phlip

3:02

Does anyone know of a good site to host a league that begins right around the All Star break? I can't keep my league focused on a full 162 games, but 70-80 is feasible!

Paul Sporer

3:02

I think Fantrax would facilitate that. They're really good at setting up custom stuff

JD15

3:02

Start tonight: darvish? archer? clevinger?

Paul Sporer

3:02

Yes, Yes, No

Steve

3:03

When faced with keeper decisions, do you keep the best players possible or the best values? We only keep 3 so I can keep all stud hitters or trade some for extra 1st round picks and keep others that have value.

Paul Sporer

3:04

I will keep the best players possible more often than not, but usually I got for a mix. I like the idea of trading for some extra picks

Andy

3:04

Is Jake Bauers worth holding in a 12 team dynasty league

Paul Sporer

3:05

Ehhh, not bending over backwards, but I do like the speed at 1B

Esteban

3:05

Jacob Faria is a top ___ starter next season

Paul Sporer

3:05

Luis Castillo

3:05

Will I be forgotten enough to be a value in drafts next year or will I be too obvious a 'sleeper' and get scooped early?

Paul Sporer

3:06

The latter. I can see the hype train exploding his cost.. conducted by Eno. He was talking top 20 on the pod yesterday

yojiveself

3:07

Dillon Peters safe to start next week 2x?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Safe-ish relative to available 2-starts, but not inherently safe in that he's an available which always carry a level of risk

Jaboy

3:16

What all do you cover in your newsletter? If I don't jam The Show that often, still lots of value? (good streams by the way)

Paul Sporer

3:17

It's MLB The Show-based right now, but it's going to have a fantasy football outlook once the season ends. I'm considering offseason baseball content for the newsletter, too. BTW, for those that don't know, he's talking about the subscriber newsletter for my Twitch stream (twitch.tv/psporer24)

Willy Wonka

3:17

Thoughts on Peacock for next year? Does he continue to be a near elite starter?

Paul Sporer

3:18

The skills we've seen this year are certainly viable, but the walks cut the margin for error so I'm reluctant to think he'll be *this* good again next year. But a mid-3.00s with a boatload of Ks.

Chandler

3:18

They need to bring The Show to PC! I can't justify buying a PS4 to play it :(

Paul Sporer

3:19

It's soooo worth, but I hear you. I literally only got PS4 for it. I play some other sports games here and there, but it's essentially an MLB The Show machine

Carlos

3:19

where do you stand on streaming limits in H2H playoffs?

Paul Sporer

3:19

I think it should match regular season rules. And of course it needs to be on the books before the season

Matz

3:19

Will I ever live up to my potential? Or am I the proverbial damaged goods from here on out?

Paul Sporer

3:20

The health just clouds Matz's outlook SO much. I definitely think the skills are there, but can he stay on the field? He's someone I'll continue to take a shot on at lower prices bc of the skills

3:21

Y'all, I gotta bounce relatively early here today. We will have a marathon chat before the season's over. Probably next week.

3:22

Follow me on Twitter (@sporer) - you can send questions there, too - follow me on Snapchat (psporer) and check out my Twitch streams at twitch.tv/psporer24 where I stream MLB The Show and always talk baseball so questions like the ones here are more than welcome! Take care!!
