Paul Sporer: Hey y’all thanks for coming out!!

Guest: Esmerlyn vs Nate Lowe in OBP?

Paul Sporer: It’s Lowe for me. Valdez is interesting, but probably peaks as a Lowe-type

Jip Needs to Know: Do you think McGonigle has some Roman Anthony in him in the sense that he’s got great barrel rate and hitting skills but that it might not translate to HR power?

Paul Sporer: Yeah, I don’t think he’s a lock 30-HR guy necessarily, but he’s also one of these guys who seems like he’s just going to keep getting better. The Utley comps are lofty but not completely misplaced as a top end

Ginn’ed up: I’m on the JT Ginn bandwagon, but his next starts are tough. Better to swap out for a reliever (or his new teammate Jump?) or is he now a team streamer in deep leagues?

Paul Sporer: Hey y’all, thanks for coming out!

RAGBRAI: When/if Woodruff returns to the rotation, who gets bumped? And is it to the bullpen or AAA?

Paul Sporer: The thing is, those questions often sort themselves out by someone else getting hurt by the time someone else is returning from the IL, in this case Woody. Gasser is last one so prob first one out right now

Carter: 12 Team 5×5 Cats: Should i finally cut bait on Matt Chapman? and Who would you look for to replace him? Some names on the wire: J. Jung, I. Paredes, A. Bohm, N. Arenado? (also I have Colt Emerson waiting for 3B eligibility)

Paul Sporer: Ya the extreme power outage is enough to push me off in 12s. I’d go for Jung with as strong as he’s been. Assuming that’s Josh, right? Surprised if he’s out there!

RAGBRAI: What can we expet from Dylan Crews? Not surprised he didn’t making OD, put has he done enough at AAA to realy to  push his way into everyday ABs in the OF? They can’t have brought him up to sit or platoon, could they?

Paul Sporer: Hey y’all, thanks for coming out! We’ve got day games cookin’, let’s talk some ball!

Matt: How uncomfortable with McGreevy @ATH tomorrow – particularly in Ottoneu where HR really hurt?

Paul Sporer: Quite a bit. As well as he’s been pitching, there’s plenty of regression coming and I’m not starting him here to find out if this is when it starts in earnest

Matt: McGreevy has been so hot, its tough to sit him, but that said, next week, he draws the short straw here, right (12 tm roto QS)?
Yamamoto (@SD), Sanchez (CLE), Messick (@DET,@PHI), McClanahan (BAL, @NYY), Warren (TOR, TB), McGreevy (PIT)

Paul Sporer: Yeah, it’s not as bad as at ATH, of course, but the numbers game pushes him out here. Not sure he’s all that close to the lower end of that group even on a 1-start comparison (Messick/Warren) but they both have 2 so even easier start for them over him

Ryan Raburn: Trevor Rogers was just dropped in my 10man 5×5. Do you think he is must grab?
