7:31
Quarantino Martinez: Any interest in Cal Quantrill, especially with Det this week? Him or Ober?

7:32
Jeff Zimmerman: He’s on some of my bid lists. Quantrill has a nice two-step the week after Detroit

7:32
Jeff Zimmerman: Now, Ober does have a two-step this week.

7:33
Lauren J.: Daulton Varsho is killing me in my H2H forever-keeper league. At this point, I’d rather punt the catcher position. Opposed to me grabbing Raleigh and hoping for a call-up?

Dodgerbleu: Paul please help with Snell! He’s ha a couple of decent starts recently, and inevitably someone in my league throws me an offer. I rebuf, encouraged by the start he just had. Then he goes back to being terrible. Today I got a Sims for Snell offer. I know I could’ve gotten more numerous times this season, but his value just keeps cratering and I could use some saves. Think that smells fair? In general, would you hold or sell low?

2:43

Paul Sporer: I feel like I’d want someone more locked in for saves, though I understand that might not be available. It’s a doable deal

Jeff Zimmerman:

7:32
Jeff Zimmerman: There are the 15-team Tout Wars winning bids from tonight.

7:32
Sean: Thoughts on Taylor Ward? Been hitting 3rd lately, Statcast looks strong, wondering if there’s room at the inn when Trout returns

7:33
Jeff Zimmerman: Possibly. I had/have him on several bid groups. the 5 game week hurts his value this week.

7:34
Jedi One: Time to think about thinking about moving on from Jed Lowrie? 12 team  AL only obp keeper league. Isaac Paredes can maybe take his MI and improve. We are contending. Also rostering Pinder rn.

Paul Sporer Baseball Chat – June 16th, 2021

The transcript is available!

12:45

Paul Sporer: Welcome to the chat, y’all! Thank you for coming out!!

12:45

Jim Leyland Palmer: Paul who’s your dream pick for the Tigers @ 3?

12:46

Paul Sporer: Any of the SS, tbh. I love Leiter and Rocker, but I just really want the Tigers to take a foundational hitter

12:46

Jim Leyland Palmer: Jram has been and still is the more valuable asset, but in a long term keeper context, would you view Bregman as the safer option, as his value is less tied to SBs? I have both and will be approaching a point where I may have to decide between the two this winter, am I overthinking it?

12:47

Paul Sporer: I think you might be overthinking it a bit. I really think Ramirez will age well, too, even w/a big SB component in his game

12:48

bg119: Is Austin Gomber a must-start?

Guy: You holding Nick Senzel in a 14 teamer?

1:01

Paul Sporer: Depends who we’re picking up in his place

1:02

Jim Leyland Palmer: If you were Al Avila, would you extend Candy? If so what does that look like?

1:02

Paul Sporer: He’s 27 yrs old and under team control through ’23, so an extension probably wouldn’t be that expensive given his age & production to date

1:03

Paul: Chances Yordan Alvarez gets OF eligibility?
