Sporer Report Issue #4 – #GetChurved

We’re heading out to San Diego to check out a pair of waiver gems who are turning heads all across the league. I think both are showing a level of statistical significance such that they can’t just be sloughed off as small sample miracles. Of course neither will keep this absurd pace they’ve opened up, but if you’re ever judging April waiver pickups on that standard, then you’re probably not making many moves.

Paul Sporer Baseball Chat – Friday the 13th!!

Thanks for coming out!

2:44

Paul Sporer: Hi everybody! We’re going to have to be a tight hour today, so let’s get started!

2:44

Ms. Happ: Start Reynaldo Lopez tonight?

2:45

Paul Sporer: Yep

2:45

Boomfizzle: Ohtani runs like a cheetah. It’s a shame he won’t ever be allowed to steal a base.

2:45

Paul Sporer: Yeah it’s just an unnecessary risk for their prized pitcher

2:45

Schoop of Ice Cream: If the Blue Jays have any intention of bringing up Vlad Jr. this year, why not do it next week, if even just until JD is back? The extra year of service time clock will pass this weekend, and if they’re serious about contending he might be the best bat to fill in at 3rd will Donaldson heals

Sporer Report Issue #3

Splitting it up with pitchers and hitters this time around with two of each. Today’s group has just one guy likely to available in a good number of leagues, but the other three guys are definitely in that “should I sell high” level of player. Of course, there’s another whole debate on just how viable the sell high advice is in the first place, but nevertheless, these are guys that I’m more apt to keep anyway as I believe in their talents.

Paul Sporer Baseball Chat – April 6th, 2018

Here’s the transcript from Friday. Lots of Reynaldo Lopez and Nick Pivetta!

2:15

Paul Sporer: Hello, everyone!! Welcome to the chat!

2:16

Senta: Patrick Corbin a 10-team hold (as opposed to stream) now?   If so, any of these players you’d drop to add him?:  Yonder, Brach, Kingery.  Thanks!

2:17

Paul Sporer: Ya I think we gotta hold him in all formats. Corbin is throwing his slider a TON and getting big results (42% K, 18% SwStr). It won’t stay this great, but he’s also not a fluke

2:19

Big Tuna: Is Chase Anderson’s velo drop concerning?

2:20

Paul Sporer: A little in that I was going to be watching his velo early on anyway just to see if he held the ’17 gains

2:20

SiscoKid: What kind of upside to Newcomb and Gohara have?
