Happy Friday!!!

Let's talk baseball!!

Luck Dragons

Should I sell Odor at a big loss?

Paul Sporer

2:08

No, I'd hold on

Big Tuna

2:08

What are your thoughts on Wacha's latest start?

Paul Sporer

2:09

Only saw the box, but I rarely make strong moves off one start unless someone is hurt

Rasta

With fantasy rotations decimated, how viable of a strategy is it to only start 3 SP in a 12 tm 5x5 H2H and loading up on closers and elite relief arms?

Paul Sporer

2:09

Just might be tough to stay competitive in Ks and Ws

Drenjamin

Brandon Belt and David Robertson for Jeff Samardzija. Fair trade or clear winner?

Paul Sporer

2:10

The in-season deepening of 1B curbs Belts value so that's pretty fair

Hold the Odor

2:10

The Angels are clearly better without Mike Trout and should trade him immediately.

Paul Sporer

2:10

Obvvvvv lol

Big Tuna

2:10

Would you trade Berrios for Happ in an OPS league?

Paul Sporer

2:10

I would not

BarYOlo Cologne

2:10

Alex Wood for Conforto?

Paul Sporer

2:10

Nice deal of breakout for breakout

BarYOlo Cologne

2:10

What do you make of Homer Bailey coming back shortly?

Paul Sporer

2:10

I've been a huge Homer honk before but I gotta see something first

Drenjamin

2:11

How much will Eric Thames benefit when Braun comes back to the Brew Crew lineup?

Paul Sporer

2:11

It can't hurt

Dirk Diggler

2:11

Are you buying Starlin Castro as a legitimate fantasy 2B even in an 8 team league?

Paul Sporer

2:11

I am, yes. That lineup is nice and he's shown big skills before.

Some may be shocked to learn that Starlin is still only 27

Heathcliff Slocumb

2:11

Made moves to acquire underachieving/injured arms in my 12 tm dynasty using depth pieces (Porcello, Cole, Smyly) since no one is letting go of their studs at any cost. Foolhardy strategy or worth it if even 1 pans out?

Paul Sporer

2:12

I think it's definitely a viable strategy since aces and reliable #2s/#3s are SO expensive

Dr. J

2:12

What's up with Machado? Hidden health issues? Any outperform ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:12

Singles aren't falling, I'm not too concerned

Big Tuna

2:12

I'm very high on Godley but was debating trading him for Andrelton since I need MIF help. Will I regret that?

Paul Sporer

2:12

I'd be surprised if you regretted it. I like Godley, too, but that's a good deal

BarYOlo Cologne

2:13

Start Shark tonight in Colo? He got beat up there earlier in the year and no Posey tonight, not sure how much that may matter calling the game...

Paul Sporer

2:13

I like Shark, but I'd lay off. I know he's had previous success there before this year's shellacking, but I'm passing

SPs are volatile enough in PNC or Minute Maid, let alone putting them in Coors

Daniel

2:13

Drop Hill in ten teamer or hold?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Ya I'm actually OK with it. Maybe dangle him on the cheap first and say "not asking full price, who's interested" and see if the offers are better than waiver options

Drenjamin

2:15

Bruce and Eduardo Nunez for C. Martinez?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Dig it for CMart, fair either way

Windy

2:15

Bellinger or Benintendi ROS??

Paul Sporer

2:15

Ooohhhh, that's tough. It's really needs-based, IMO. Belly for power, Beni for AVG.
