Paul Sporer Baseball Chat – December 15th, 2021

by Paul Sporer

December 15, 2021

Transcript is now available!

1:06	Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Let’s talk some baseball!

1:09	Jon: What are you thinking on Patrick Sandoval for next season? I was floating some trade offers out there and it seems no one realizes how good he was before the season ending back injury… So I’m trying to figure out if I should just keep him

1:14

Paul Sporer: I’m a big fan! It stinks that injury cut down his breakout season and it is definitely causing people to overlook him, though in fairness, I also share some wariness when a pitcher ends the season injured and we’re flying a bit blind on him going into the following season. He is very fairly priced (87th pitcher – including closers) in early drafts and obviously we’ll get more clarity as the offseason moves forward & his price will rise w/any good news. I’d probably just keep him bc I doubt anyone is paying big bucks for him in the trade market

1:14	Eric: How good is Julio Rodriguez going to be this year? Next year?

1:19

Paul Sporer: I obviously can’t say for sure. ZiPS loves him after the brilliant two-level season at A+/AA but it’ll be a big leap to the majors. He’ll need some AAA time, too, of course. Kelenic’s failures in his debut season don’t really impact how I see Rodriguez (I only bring that up bc I have seen some ppl reference Kelenic as a reason to worry about J.Rod) for ’22, but I’m not going to go too crazy in drafts just bc of the wait. I’d be surprised if he’s up before May and I’m not holding for a month in most formats.

1:21	8675309: Odds Alvarez goes 300 with 40 and 110 next year?

2022 FanGraphs Draft Kit

by Paul Sporer

December 13, 2021

Welcome to the RotoGraphs 2022 Draft Kit!

It is a bit different than the standard kit as it will be a landing page for all our fall and winter articles pertinent for your spring drafts. In the past, it has been difficult at times to recall an article from early in the offseason when it comes time to applying the information in March, but this will remedy that and give you a one stop shop to find the best offseason info we have to offer. It will be updated multiple times a week with the necessary articles in the categories listed below. If there is something you would like to see that isn’t included, please let us know in the comments.
