Hello everyone!

Rick

1:09

What should one do with Arozarena??

Paul Sporer

1:11

I'm holding virtually everywhere. Maaaybe a 10 where something particularly spicy is available, but otherwise I gotta give him more than a month. He had a 20-gm run worst than this last year https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=arozara01&t=b&ye...

Arnold

Is Joe Ryan a sell high candidate?

Paul Sporer

1:12

Not for me personally. I'm a huge fan so I've got him down for a strong season overall. If you can sell and improve the team, that's fine

Mark

1:12

Is it justifiable to pull the plug on Ranger Suarez? I need a streaming spot and I like him least out of my pitchers (between him and Rasmussen)

Paul Sporer

1:13

Ya I'm OK with that. Mets & Dodgers on tap

1:13

Thoughts on Jose Miranda? Does he have a solid chance of sticking and being a real contributor?

Paul Sporer

1:13

He does, yes. Quality player with good contact skills that could really lead to something impactful

Ian

1:14

In a 10 Team Points League - Can you please rank: Kepler, Profar, Ian Happ, Bohm, Nimmo. Position doesn’t matter

Paul Sporer

1:15

Not a ton of split here, but that's how it works in 10 teamers. Nimmo, Bohm, Kepler, Happ, Profar

Trevor Rog

1:16

What am i doing?

Paul Sporer

1:18

Definitely a slow start. The changeup isn't as effective and it's creating a cascading effect. Without those swings and misses, it's hurting a lot of what he's trying to do

JStu

1:18

I have Ketel Marte, Story, Brandon Lowe, Justin Turner in my infield. What do i do?

Paul Sporer

1:18

Crying is always an option

The Torkelson also Rises

1:19

Spencer Torkelson got dropped in my league (12 team, OPS instead of AVG). Should I pick him up over, say, Max Kepler?

Paul Sporer

1:19

You cannn. I understand why Tork was cut in a 12, but he will be picked back up again for sure. Coin toss if you wanna roll Tork or Kep tbh

Brouhaha

1:20

Hi Paul, is there hope for Civale or should he be ignored? Will Pagan still get save ops or is he a drop? Thanks again.

Paul Sporer

1:21

Looking at his arsenal, it seemed there was swing-and-miss upside but the SwStr continues downward and he's just a run of the mill streamer right now

And I like Duran a lotttt more than Pagan

Vince

1:22

What's up with Marcus Semien? Is this just a slow start or are there underlying issues?

Paul Sporer

1:22

Slow start, pressing with new team. I think he will be fine, but use the projections as your guide (20 HR/10 SB rest of way)

4th OF

1:22

Ride out Julio Rodriguez to see if improvements continue or jump ship for Laureano now?

Paul Sporer

1:22

I'm holding out

Jim Leyland Palmer

1:23

Any good buy low SPs out there for you? I'm in a 10tm 5x5, pitching not in great shape

Paul Sporer

1:23

Is any pitcher bad these days? lol

If there was a shred of discount on Woodruff, I'd take it

1:24

Stroman, E-Rod

Rich

1:24

Who do you see as the eventual Red Sox closer? And are you high on Helsley?

Paul Sporer

1:25

If they are able to stay in the race, their closer isn't on the team, otherwise I think it'll kinda float with Robles, Diekman, and Barnes and be a fantasy nightmare

Rich

1:25

Also what do you think of Yepez?

Paul Sporer

1:26

Biiiig Yepez fan! Gave him some love after seeing him at AFL and I'm excited to see him in the majors! https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/2021-roster-review-st-louis-cardinals/

1:27

Rank the following SP waiver adds ROS (12 tm 5x5, redraft) J. Taillon, C. Paddack, Glen Otto, Brad Keller

Paul Sporer

1:29

Not sure a ROS ranking is valuable here bc these guys aren't really locked into 12-teamers ROS. Think more in 4-6 wk chunks. Otto, Taillon, Paddack, Keller -- that's without looking at schedules
