Paul Sporer Baseball Chat – July 7th, 2017

Chat transcript is below!

2:05

Paul Sporer: What is up everyone!! Gotta do a tight hour today, so let’s get going.

2:05

Wally the Green Monster: K. Broxton and E. Suarez for T. Frazier.  Who wins that trade?  (the team with Frazier needs SBs and has other 3B)

2:05

Paul Sporer: Think I prefer side A, but I think Frazier will be solid rest of season

2:07

Tom: Bruce Rondon has 5 shutout innings since his recall, and all in the 8th inning – 1 win, 3 holds.  Is he looking as good as these results, and is he now the guy to stash anticipating a Justin Wilson trade?

2:08

Paul Sporer: I think he is the stash if you’re worried about a Wilson trade, but I’ve fallen for him many a time

2:08

Bernie Brewer: I have Schwarber.  I’m not sure what to expect with his return.  I was offered Duda and Mancini for him.  Should I accept that?

2:13

2:13

Paul Sporer: Not this weekend, but soon

The results of today’s chat. Very Domingo Santana focused!

3:48
Brad Johnson: I’ll begin with some life advice

3:48
Brad Johnson: If you ever see Sarah Huckabee Sanders trending on twitter, don’t become curious and investigate.

3:49
Brad Johnson: Because you’ll only become angry – that holds true no matter where you fall on the political spectrum.

3:49
Brad Johnson: So, shall we talk baseball?

3:50
BobFromAccounting: Walk rate down, strikeouts up, hard hit % down. What to do about Carlos Santana in a 6×6 OBP & SLG league. Droppable for Granderson?

3:50
Brad Johnson: I’ll have to take a closer look

Paul Sporer Baseball Chat – June 23rd, 2017

Chat transcript is below!

2:27

Paul Sporer: Good afternoon!! Let’s talk some baseball. Gotta keep it to a tight hour so I can release my SP ranking update.

2:27

Trader Danny: Is my Pollock for his Strasburg defensible?  12 team mix keeper, roughly equal salaries (low 20s), I’m stocked with OF and crushing it in SB but short on SP, most of the other aces are on other contenders.  This makes sense, right?

2:27

Paul Sporer: Definitely. Get any ace-level arm you can at a fair cost in this environment

2:27

Tiger Love: Castellanos or Avila ROS (position eligibility not important)? 12-team H2H 5×5 OPS league. Thanks.

2:27

Paul Sporer: Castellanos, but it’s v close

2:28

Casey: Which sides wins this trade–Paxton for Bradley Jr/Tanaka? Thanks.

2:08

Paul Sporer: No, I’d hold on

2:08

Big Tuna: What are your thoughts on Wacha’s latest start?

2:09

Brad Johnson Baseball Chat – 6/13/2017

Here’s today’s chat transcript. There was an unusual number of comments (i.e. any) about Napoleon Dynamite. I only published one of them.

2:58
Brad Johnson: What’s up folks? We’ll get started in a moment. I’m trying to decide who to cut for Clayton Richard in my dynasty league.

2:59
Clayton Richard: You don’t want me brah

2:59
Brad Johnson: I’ll provide a little background in a moment before I start answering questions

3:00

3:01
Brad Johnson: So, over the weekend Chad Young and I threw in the towel on 2017 in our 20-team, 45-player, keep-28 dynasty

3:02
Brad Johnson: We are in last place among the 12 or so “contending” rosters. We’ve had terrible luck – Miggy, Donaldson, JDM, Quintana, Aaron Sanchez, Carlos Sanchez, Story, Zobrist, Salazar, Morton, etc

Paul Sporer Baseball Chat – June 2nd, 2017

Chat transcript is below!

2:01

Paul Sporer: Helllllooooo!! Let’s talk baseball!!

2:01

JimyJam: Why can’t Belt hit LHP this year? Is it small sample noise or should we be concerned?

2:01

Paul Sporer: Could be sample size, but the real issue is that he didn’t necessarily own the positive work he showed vL the two years before so I’d lean more toward the negative

2:02

Jay: Have a glut of CI’s and need OF help and an upside SP. I traded Bour and Brad Miller for Sonny Gray and Andrew Benintendi. Thoughts?

2:02

Paul Sporer: I like it!

2:02

Chris: Thoughts on Dan Straily? Specifically for a 12 team mixer, 7 categories (QS and K/BB)
