Paul Sporer: Welcome, everyone! Let’s talk some baseball!

CT: Hey Paul, looking to replace Grandal (like everyone else) in a 12tm 6×6. Sean Murphy and Max Stassi are both on the wire. They both have their pros and cons, but what say you for the next 4-6 weeks? Appreciate the help and the chat!

Paul Sporer: I love Stassi, I definitely prefer him here

Guest: Thoughts on Urquidy, who does not appear on your Patreon SP List?

Paul Sporer: I’m not really ranking injury guys until they return, but I’m still a huge fan. He’s just an uncertainty right now

Rays: How do you feel about Luis Patino’s performance this far for the Rays?

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Thanks for coming out, let’s chat!

Greg: Why has Blake Snell been so bad this year?

Paul Sporer: His command has been particularly problematic and a .329 BABIP is exacerbating the issues

Kole Calhoun: What’s my value ROS?

Paul Sporer: Decent power OF worthy of consideration in 12+ teamers with 5 OF

Greg: Do you regret putting Vlad at #14 in your 1B rankings (behind absolute studs like Dom Smith, Alec Bohm, Moose)? You said “Not out on potential studification, but why buy this high on pure spec at a position like 1B?” Seems like everyone forgot that Vlad is only 22 is players improve.

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

Jeff Zimmerman:

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

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

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

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?

Paul Sporer: Hello! Thanks for coming through. It’ll be a tight timeframe today ahead of our Discord Watch Party for Patreon folks. We’re watching Ohtani v. Gausman!!

ScottTINSTAAPP: Just wanted to take a moment and appreciate how sweet everyday Rake Cronenworth is!

Paul Sporer: He is so good! Huuuuge fan

Paul Sporer: For anyone interested in joining the Patreon to get in the Discord: patreon.com/thesleeperandthebust

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?

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: Hello.

Jeff Zimmerman:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

bg119: Is Austin Gomber a must-start?

Jeff Zimmerman: Hello for nice calm weekend.

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the bids in the two 15-team Tout Wars leagues

Jeff Zimmerman:

Guapo: Miley, Alzolay or Gomber ROS? its rough out here

Jeff Zimmerman: Miley for me. He’s been straight up solid

Jeff Zimmerman: 135th ranked player this season. 9th rounder in a 15-team league.

Jeff Zimmerman: Hello

Jeff Zimmerman: Here FAAB bids from the two mixed leagues in Tout Wars

Jeff Zimmerman:

Guest: Ian Happ or Jeff McNeill, ROS in OBP league?

Jeff Zimmerman: Happ, he’s playing

Pine Rider: Which rookie P do you prefer ROS:  McClanahan, Manoah, or Skubal?  And do you think it will be Kowar after tomorrow?
