Paul Sporer: Welcome to my weekly chat! Let’s talk some baseball!!!

Kiley: will you really wait in line with me for Franklin’s

Paul Sporer: When we doin it?

zzxzx: I need to activate Wheeler. Who do I drop: Pagan, Eovaldi, C Martin or Bummer. I have a tenuous grasp on 1st place and there’s a cluster of teams with similar Saves as me. Thank you!

Paul Sporer: I’d probably get rid of Martin

Kiley: don’t tease me bro

Brad Johnson: We’ll get started in a few moments.

Nathan: I’m on the cusp. Should I go for it?

Brad Johnson: I’m generally pro always going for it. But then sometimes I don’t follow my own advice.

Al Gone Quinn: So you think a $7 Jasson Dominguez is too expensive, based on your Discord forum comment? The man has 2 S’s in his name. Worth the money.

Brad Johnson: This is specifically related to ottoneu where any prospect over $1 is questionable.

Brad Johnson: Dominguez is a years and years from the majors

Brad Johnson: We’ll get started in a few moments.

Seeds: Brad, are you buying Tyler Beede’s newfound slider as the missing piece to make him a contributor down the stretch?

Brad Johnson: There’s a lot I’m buying about Tyler Beede, but the missing piece is command. Pure and simple.

Brad Johnson: And I’m not sure that’s really improved all that much lately – it’s hard to tell. You know the drill, small sample sizes and such.

Brad Johnson: I’m comfortable labeling him as at least a good reliever right now with potential to also be an interesting SP.

Ryan: Who do you like more RoS in a standard 5×5, Hiura, or Scooter?

Jeff Zimmerman: Sorry for the delay, I lost track of time.

Paul Sporer: Hellllooo!! Welcome to my weekly chat. The All-Star break is officially over and it’s time for the second half!

Slamboni: AL only roto keeper: I’m in it this year but my pitching is hot trash. Guy offered me good keeper cost Berrios and Cole for very expensive Trout. My offense is pretty set…. Is that crazy?

Paul Sporer: Not crazy at all. That’s two aces in an AL Only and completely addresses your biggest need. That’s a yes for me

Guest: Al only roto Phegley or Roberto Perez

Paul Sporer: I’d lean Perez

Guest: Think Carrasco is back to 100% for next year?

Jeff Zimmerman: I may have a shorter chat but not sure. Not Tout Wars FAAB since the leagues run the pickups Wed night.

Jeff Zimmerman: I have to check my smoker and I’ll start answering questions.

RP Party: Which current closers should we be looking to deal now because they won’t be closers after the trade deadline, and vice versa for current no closers.

Jeff Zimmerman: Will Smith, Shane Greene, Colome.

Chris: I have two closer spots and i got kimbrel, diaz, and neris, what should i do?

Jeff Zimmerman: You can stream them in depending on the games that week. Or trade one

Brad Johnson: This appears to be working today. We’ll get started in a few moments.

Chonk: Disregarding positions, would you rather have Scooter or Swanson ROS in a standard points league?

Brad Johnson: I would take the gamble on gennett. I do think he’s pretty likely to struggle for the next 2-4 weeks

Brad Johnson: He really rushed through the rehab assignment without showing any real signs of being ready

Daro: Cease worth to grab in 12 teams league?

Brad Johnson: Yes, he’s on the cusp of promotion.

Jeff Zimmerman: Good evening everyone.

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the mixed league FAAB results for the evening.

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

oswald2319: Luzardo went 5 innings last night, life is good!!!!

Paul Sporer: His debut is creeping closer and closer

Rahim: Hi, Paul. Is Hiura a must-add, or something less than that?

Paul Sporer: Must-add in all formats, IMO. Impact potential is massive

Alec Berg: Daniel Palka getting the call this week. Am I right to still be wary after his horrendous start to the year?
