: What team has most impressed you this year? |
| 1:07 |
: Oakland. I picked them to make a wildcard spot, but that included Jharel Cotton & AJ Puk being instrumental and obviously they were done before the season started. Also impressed w/ATL & PHI staying viable all year |
| 1:08 |
: Paul, thanks as always. Last week, you were kind enough to advise keeping S. Gennett ($9) in my 12tm mixed roto keeper league ($260 budget). That said, I forgot I could have Matt Chapman for $10 also. Would you prefer Gennett or Chapman in this situation? |

Unsung Hitters Over the Last Month
by Paul Sporer
August 29, 2018
Looking over the last 30 days, I toured the diamond for a standout at every position who could be available and continue to produce over the final month of the season.
C: Omar Narvaez, CWS | 148 wRC+, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 12 R, 0 SB in 73 PA
The 26-year old backstop was supposed to be a backup, but then Welington Castillo was suspended 80 games for PEDs. Narvaez has made the most of his opportunity with a 127 wRC+ for the season. He’s more than just the last month of time, too, as he’s hitting .349/.433/.544 in 172 PA since June 1st after a paltry .169/.273/.234 line through May. Castillo’s suspension is done, but now he’s on the DL with shoulder inflammation. Narvaez is a solid C2 even when Castillo returns.

8 Second Half SP Surgers
by Paul Sporer
August 28, 2018
I think this is about the time of every year that I start to realize just how long the season is and I recall the landscape in May/June and see how different it is now. I wanted to highlight a group of pitchers who have righted the ship on their season and become fantasy assets once again after being cast off.
I didn’t include David Price despite a big ERA difference (4.42 1H, 1.09 2H) because I don’t think it ever got to a point where you could realistically cut him. All of these guys were hitting waiver wires in just most mixed formats, but are now being relied on down the stretch. Some of the guys profiled actually started to turn it around before the second half, but I wanted to include them because the bulk of their emergence has come since the break.

: What level of pitcher do you think Pivetta will be?
|
| 12:50 |
: So I comped him to Eovaldi in passing in a piece earlier this week and someone on my Twitter mentioned Pineda so we know the flaws that those guys had, but they also showed put it together in spells. If he gets the HRs in check, he’s a top 30-type guy IMO, but that is easier said than done

: Do you start Mikolas at Coors tonight?
