Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!

Andrew: with shallow league h2h playoffs starting next week, what to do with trevor story? if steals arent needed, would you drop for noot or brandon drury?

Paul Sporer: Yeah would definitely prefer either of those 2 to Story, especially w/the SBs not mattering as much. I lean Noot with him returning Friday

I Used to be Mel Clark: Are you fine with cutting Will Smith in a 16 teamer at this point? Seems like the job is Chapman’s going forward. Similarly, any reason to keep holding Jose Alvarado? I have more than enough interesting SP arms to hold in their place ie. Verlander/Peralta/Glasnow/Ragans/Keller/Bibee/Rodon/Detmers/H. Brown/Kutter/Greene.

Paul Sporer: Yeah I have no issues cutting either tbh

Andrew: is kyle harrison a via steaming option in shallow leagues or is this fools gold and going to blow up in our faces?

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome.

Jeff Zimmerman:

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the winning bids from the two 15-team mixed Tout Wars leagues.

Eric: Playoffs Weekly Lock league with H2H Roto. Who to start, Nolan Jones or Santander ? Thanks !

Jeff Zimmerman: Jones

The Mountain: Is Felix Bautista an automatic drop this week?

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!

Air Horn: BWAOW WOW WOW OWWWWWWWW

Paul Sporer: That’s a pretty good imitation!

Guest: rank for ROS homers: Santana Moore Suwinski Aranda

Paul Sporer: Is that Dylan Moore?

Paul Sporer: Santana/Suwinski are pretty close for #1, I’d look and try to estimate what kinda lefty SP load PIT might have that would hurt Suwinski. Moore is surging but still comes 3rd and Aranda just doesn’t play enough, so while he carries some intrigue, I’m not really buying into we see him carve out a real role

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome.

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the bids from the two 15-team mixed Tout Wars teams. One league looks to have taken the night off

Jeff Zimmerman:

Fraley?: Now he’s reportedly coming back to play hurt and get surgery after the season.  How seriously should I take this and would he slot in ahead of dudes like Stone Garrett for HR/SB upside or Joc P the OBP/HR platoon assassin?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’d stay away. I bet he’s worried about losing his job.

Just how Littell?: You giving up Cobb for Littell? 
Also, short bench… are you hanging onto Franco for now?

Paul Sporer: Welcome everyone, thanks for coming out!!

MochiBetts: So are we in the rock bottoming of Jarren Duran and he’ll regress more to the mean in time for playoffs or is this all she wrote for the Cinderella story this season?

Paul Sporer: Looks like some standard BABIP regression so far this month and it just haaad to come as he was toting a greater than .400 mark for a good bit of time. I think he’s done enough to hold a bit longer and see if he emerges out of this… and i say that as someone who was skeptical on him initially

Paul Sporer: TORKS DORKS STAND UP!!!! #20!!!

Paul Sporer: (after a Riley Greene bomb 2 batters earlier, too!)

chris: grayson rodriguez has looked great since coming back. is he getting close to auto start territory?

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the FAAB results from the two 15-team Tout Wars mixed leagues:

Jeff Zimmerman:

gadawg57: Does Royce Lewis have value ROS as a bench bat or utility? More than Kike, Wallner, Burleson, or TON have? 12 team points. Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman: At least Enrique

Toolsy: Strahm, Austin Cox, Brielle. Looking for a rp in a (s+h) league who Qual @ asp.

Paul Sporer: Welcome, everyone! Thanks for coming out!!

comish4lif: Tony Gonsolin in a 12 team NL only. Has he hurt me enough by now? Is he injured? Was he never really that good? Free Agent pickup would be someone like: Cueto, Carrasco, Rich Hill, Jake Irvin…

Paul Sporer: It’s bit of an all of the above situation and I’m open to moving on from him even in an NL. I know he’s giving up a HR as I type this, but I kinda like Cueto. Carrasco looked great last time out, but think I’d still prefer Gonso. Not as in on Hill or Irvin over Gonso

B’ryce Szymbobski: Are we trusting youngins like GRod, Silseth in ten teamers now?

Paul Sporer: Definitely candidates, yes. It’s that classic situation where they almost certainly fit on someone’s roster, but possibly not yours.

KC: Does Cole Ragans have the potential to be a league winner?
