Merrill Kelly 켈리 6.31 ERA, 1.71 WHIP

Paul Sporer’s Weekly Chat – June 1st, 2022

by Paul Sporer

June 1, 2022

Transcript is live!

1:06	Paul Sporer: Hey y’all! I can’t go the full hour+ today as I have an appointment, but let’s enjoy our 40 or so mins. together on the first day of June!

1:09	Rachel: Paul, when do we expect Royce Lewis back and full time SS? Also why no padding behind that wall? Thanks!

1:09	Paul Sporer: No idea why some walls aren’t cushier, never made much sense to me. I think something needs to open up for him to get back up for a bigger role or they need to give up on Nick Gordon as a starter

1:09	bart johnson: luis garcia or royce lewis in a re-draft?

1:11	Paul Sporer: Big Lewis fan, but I think we gotta go with the guy who is up in re-draft. Garcia is a legit prospect (well he has graduated in terms of prospect lists, but he’s just 22) and raking at AAA. I’m keeping a close eye on him
