Hi everybody! We're going to have to be a tight hour today, so let's get started!

Ms. Happ

2:44

Start Reynaldo Lopez tonight?

Paul Sporer

2:45

Yep

Boomfizzle

2:45

Ohtani runs like a cheetah. It's a shame he won't ever be allowed to steal a base.

Paul Sporer

2:45

Yeah it's just an unnecessary risk for their prized pitcher

If the Blue Jays have any intention of bringing up Vlad Jr. this year, why not do it next week, if even just until JD is back? The extra year of service time clock will pass this weekend, and if they're serious about contending he might be the best bat to fill in at 3rd will Donaldson heals

Paul Sporer

2:46

He's a 19 yr old w/7 games at Double-A. There are no guarantees about his performance. I don't think rushing him up makes them any greater contenders than they are right now

John

2:46

Expected dates for Acuna, Gleyber and Senzel?

Paul Sporer

2:47

Y'all, I wanna put the kibosh on these questions early. I have zero clue. I could blindly guess, but what does that do for anyone? The prospect guys don't know this stuff so someone like me is completely in the dark

The answer is Willie Calhoun

2:47

My league has an NA slot where you can stash a minor leaguer. After Acuna (already taken), who would you take as a stash?

Paul Sporer

2:47

I'm down with Calhoun or either of the two mentioned in the question above (Gleyber, Senzel)

Jason

2:47

Looking to upgrade at starting pitcher. What range of starter do you think I could get for Gregory Polanco and Newcomb. 18 Team H2H points league.

Paul Sporer

2:48

It depends on your league. You have to find someone who'd want those two and then try to get one of their good SPs.

I'm not trying to cop out of an answer, it's just not a great Q. A better way for that question is to include some SPs you're going to target and then I can try and give you an idea of whether or not you'll land them.

Bearclaw the next handcuff to get a job?

Paul Sporer

2:48

Addison Reed

Lemm

2:50

Thoughts on Teoscar Hernandez's call-up and playing time? The Jays' OF is still pretty crowded.

Paul Sporer

2:51

I think Grichuk's struggles and Morales being out will get Teoscar some burn

Dan

2:51

Who's a good SS replacement for Elvis Andrus? I picked up Cozart in the meantime, but is there anyone readily available that could match the steals?

Paul Sporer

2:52

You didn't mention anyone on your wire lol.... Cozart works but I have no idea beyond him

Cody

2:52

Hey Paul, I'm in a deep 16 team H2H Cats league. For some reason, we have IP as a category and can start up to 9 SP, so I've done my best to grab some lottery tickets as the wire for SP is barren.
How would you rank these pitchers?
Chirinos, Lucchesi, Triggs, Tropeano, Wheeler.

Paul Sporer

2:52

Wheeler, Lucchesi, Trop, Chir, Triggs

Ready Player One

2:52

That a blip for Fulmer or should I be worried? It was Cleveland.

Paul Sporer

2:52

One bad start should never worry you about someone unless they got hurt during it, of course

Kerry

2:53

Trade Luis Castillo and Tim Anderson to land Thor in 10-team redraft? I've got Xander, Kingery, and Anderson rotating in my MI slot, so I've got the depth to make the deal.

Paul Sporer

2:53

Yes, I'm in for that

Chuck

2:53

Manuel Margot has been dropped in my 12 team league. Use that young #1 waiver claim on him?

Paul Sporer

2:53

Ehhhh... I like Margot, but I'd only do it if you really had a need for some potential speed

2:53

Ozzie looking like a straight up stud today

Chance

2:53

Is Ozzie Albies the second coming of Jesus?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Those were actually in order ^^

Dale

2:54

Joe Mauer becoming fantasy relevant?

Paul Sporer

2:55

Just so hard to slot him at 1b or CI with no pop. Obviously in OBP lgs, but I think he's already rostered in those

Tim

2:56

Speaking of spooky - what the hell is going on with Bogaerts? Every other day he's either totally fine or totally boned.

Paul Sporer

2:56

I've seen mostly positive stuff including him being out of the walking boot

Ted

2:56

So what's the play with Ohtani (batter) in Yahoo? Drafted him on a whim, and I'm obviously starting him when he plays, but is this a sell-high moment? Or just platoon him with someone and be happy with what I get?

Paul Sporer

2:57

It depends what you could really get. You'd have to find someone drunk on the hype bc he's a hassle to manage day to day and limited playing time-wise, but producing big time so far

Billy

2:57

Is Ian Desmond done? Even though his GB% was 63% and xwoba under .300 last year, you could put that down to injury but he hasn't bounced back this year.

Paul Sporer

2:59

He gets more than 13 games before I say he hasn't bounced back yet, but it's lookin bad

Moltar
