Paul Sporer: Hey y’all, thanks for coming out! Let’s talk some baseball!!

Guest: Who do you have more faith turning it around before the end of the season? Sonny Gray or Castillo ?

Paul Sporer: I don’t really favor one over the other, I like both to rebound. I’d still pick Castillo over Gray

Matt: Carlos Rodon: Top 20 ROS?

Paul Sporer: Not quite top 20, but top 30-35 for sure

Henry: Lindor has started bad before, but it is almost June and it is bad… Is it finally panic time?

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

Jeff Zimmerman: Just a heads up. I have been busy most of the day so, besides the major headlines, I’ll lack many of today’s details

Jeff Zimmerman:

Jeff Zimmerman:

Feddy: Fulmer and Robles both blew saves today. Which would you rather have for the near future?

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Thanks for coming out, let’s talk some baseball!

Guy: You holding Nick Senzel in a 14 teamer?

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

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

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

Paul: Chances Yordan Alvarez gets OF eligibility?

Jeff Zimmerman: Let’s light this fire

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

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! I’m late, but I have a pretty good reason: Fireside Chat w/Nick Pollack discussing Luis Castillo will be out later today!

Paul Sporer: Or maybe tomorrow. Not sure, but very soon!

JT: paul,

Paul Sporer: JT!

Airwhite54: Hello sir. My league only has 1 catcher rosters and I have Realmuto as well as Posey. Would you trade Posey for Maeda?

Paul Sporer: Yes, I would. That’s a very nice deal. We mention Maeda on the aforementioned Fireside and both came away positively on him long-term

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome everyone.

confused fantasy player: Is it time to sell low on Kyle Hendricks?

Paul Sporer: It’s 2 great and 2 bad starts, I’m not selling

aaron boone demoted to AAA: where do you get your ideas from?

Paul Sporer: To write about? All sorts of different places. Just persuing leaderboards, watching games, seeing some stat on Quick Pitch that spurs me to look deeper… just consumption of baseball stuff in general. I keep a notes app file of ideas that pop into my head randomly. Sometimes, though, I stare at a blank Word doc for an hour-plus

Glad Vlad is on my team: Are you a believer in Civale?

Jeff Zimmerman: No wallet buster this week but ton of suspect starters on the wire.

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

Jeff Zimmerman:

feddy: Hey Jeff, when looking to stream pitchers, is there a specific metric or two you use to evaluate the streamers opponents? Not sure how to gauge opposing offenses from a fantasy perspective. thanks.

Jeff Zimmerman: I use Razzball’s weekly streamers: https://razzball.com/streamers-nextweek/
