| 2:36 |
: I prefer Strip |
| 2:36 |
: Mallex Smith a 10-team play for the SB-needy? |
| 2:36 |
: If you’re starving, yes |
| 2:36 |
: So we can move on from Jose Martinez in 10-team, right? |
Here’s today’s chat transcript. Lots of deadline fallout to consider.
| 4:01 |
: We’ll start in a moment here. By your silence, I assume you’re also staring at twitter waiting for surprise last-minute deals.
|
| 4:02 |
: Hi! Best new holds guy after the deadline?
|
| 4:02 |
: Let me digest. Holds guys are already difficult to pin down
|
| 4:03 |
: Mostly the guys who were good for holds before the deadline.
|
| 4:03 |
: Pressly gets a boost
|
| 4:03 |
: ROS? Chris Taylor or Ian Kinsler for 2B? (Position flexibility not a factor)
|
| 7:33 |
: Sorry for the small delay
|
| 7:33 |

Transcript is below! Thanks for coming out!!
| 3:04 |
: Hellloooo!!! Early chat this week (Thur instead of Fri), how’s it goin? |
| 3:05 |
: Ketel Marte or Paul DeJong ROS? |
| 3:06 |
: I’m going DeJong. I know Marte’s had a power surge, but I still prefer DeJong’s power |
| 3:06 |
: Hello Dr. Paul!!! Can you diagnose the monthly trend in Stanton’s flyball %? He’s gone from ~38% to ~29% from May through July. His career average is 40%! Should we expect less home runs from him ROS? Or are monthly swings like this normal and we should expect him to revert back to his career norms? Seems like a fairly material change for a power hitter like him. |
| 3:09 |
: It is a difference, but I’m not sure it’s one that’s going to impact him *greatly* because he also doesn’t need as many flyballs for HR success given his park change |
| 3:09 |
: This time of year is the worst for closers, almost none are safe, fear strikes the heart of every owner. Which of these closers are most likely to be traded still: Kela, Greene, Yates, Rodney? |
We chatted! Transcript below. First, some generic advice. With a little over two months left in the season, forget about where players rank. All that matters is:
1. How do players you receive affect your chances of winning?
2. How do the players you give up affect your rivals chances of winning?
That’s really just about it. Keeper and dynasty formats have additional considerations, but those tend to be league specific.
| 4:01 |
: Hey folks
|
| 4:01 |
: Let’s get this started with a bad trade
|
| 4:01 |
: Brad I try to be open to all trades in my league but I cant help get a little irritated about this one. N.Goodrum, Eduardo Escobar, and N.Castellanos for Alex Bregman and Javy Baez. Am I just being overly dramatic here? (14 team, H2H, 5×5, redraft) Thanks!
|
| 4:01 |
: No, that’s an unconscionable trade
|
| 4:02 |
: I assume the guy trading for Casty and Goodrum is a Tigers fan?
|
| 4:02 |
: If not, then it’s extra super unconscionable
|

: Good afternoon, everyone!! Let’s talk some baseball! |
| 3:03 |
: Continue to hold Jose Martinez in 10-team in hopes for a trade to AL? |
| 3:03 |
: If you can afford to use the bench spot |
| 3:04 |
: Nimmo still a 10-team hold? |
| 3:04 |
: Ya unless you really like a waiver pickup |
| 3:04 |
: Hey Paul, thanks as always. Willie ball is finally upon us! Is he worth an add in 12tm mixed? I would have to (sadly) drop his teammate The Dentist finally |
Lots of Derby and Tommy Pham questions today. Had to cut it a bit short because of a prior commitment.
