The chart includes their performance for 2025 (I changed over from 2024 #s on April 15th — a little earlier than last yr), their opponent’s wOBA rank versus the pitcher’s handedness from this year so far (this changed as of April 14th which is still a pretty small sample, but we can start attacking some cold lineups or be more careful with those performing well so far), my general start/sit recommendation for 10-team, 12-team, and 15-team (or more) leagues, and then a note about them. Obviously, there are league sizes beyond those three so it’s essentially a shallow, medium, deep. If a pitcher only has an “x” in 15-team, it doesn’t mean there’s no potential use in 10s and 12s, but it’s basically a riskier stream for those spots.
These are general recommendations, and your league situation will carry more weight whether you are protecting ratios or chasing counting numbers. This is for standard 5×5 roto leagues. The thresholds for H2H starts are generally lower, especially in points leagues so I thought there would be more value focusing on roto.

Transcript is now available, thanks for coming out!

Paul Sporer: Hello!!!! Thanks for coming out
1:03
Why not Zoidberg?: Has Crews figured it out or is this just a streak? Must roster in even really shallow leagues?
1:04
Paul Sporer: Neither really, just early season volatility. Couldn’t have paid me to cut him before this surge. He’s the kind of guy I give 4-6 wks minimum before thinking of cutting (unless he was sent out or something)

Jason: Hello sir! Do you think Mitchell Parker is worth a pickup in a 13 team roto 5×5 (QS+W) league? Or is he doing to us what he did to us last year?
1:05
Paul Sporer: I def don’t mind rostering him to see if he can improve, but unless he starts missing more bats, it will be tough to sustain any level of success (16% K is brutal)
1:06
Kyle: How expendable is Josh jung in a 12 tm h2h? alternatives would be n. marte, garcia or durbin

Pardon me on the commentary-free board tonight, something in my dinner is not sitting well with me so I’m headed to bed super early! I will answer questions/comments in the morning.
