Oof, Bobby Miller just allowed a 3-run homer, ending his day with 6 ER in just 4.3 IP. As it stands right now, I still think I’ll be in at the discounted rate for 2025, but obviously we could learn of an injury in the offseason (if not sooner) that would then change his outlook.

I’m very excited for Kumar Rocker’s debut. He has an 0.91 ERA, 0.57 WHIP, & 41% K-BB rate in his last 7 starts across Double- and Triple-A.

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – September 11th, 2024

by Paul Sporer

September 11, 2024

Transcript is now available!!

1:07	Paul Sporer: Hello everyone!! Thanks for coming out

1:10	Tigers, oh my!: How would you value the following Detroit players in a deep al-only keeper? (5×5 roto, Sv+holds) Reese Olson, Wenceel Perez, JH Malloy, Jason Foley, Ty Madden?

1:12	Paul Sporer: Didn’t even plan this, very first question is about my Tigers!!

1:14	Paul Sporer: Even w/the health, Olson is my #1. From there it’s probably Perez or JHM. I’m not sure Foley is a long-term closer option so he’s last on the list

1:14	Guest: It’s crunch time baby! Pick best 3 from these SP matchups: Ragans @ NYY, Webb vs SDP, Ober vs CIN, Peralta @ ARI or C. Sanchez vs NYM. Thanks!

1:16

Paul Sporer: I know NYY/SDP are tough, but I gotta run Ragans and Webb. I just have too much trust in them to sit ’em and it’d just kill me if they cooked on my bench. 3rd is Ober for me. He’s been wonderful outside of 2 starts v. KCR and 1 other dud (was it ATL? I can’t remember off the dome) and even avenged his KC ugliness w/a gem v. them last time out! Good group to pick from as Peralta and Sanchez are plenty competent, too, but they catch the sits here

Not a bad board for Wednesday’s full slate. Plenty of options across the various formats. I’m sure some of the 2- and 1-x guys will pop off, but identifying exactly who is tough. Bradford, for example, could deal but I’m not dying to take the shot at ARI.

I’m putting this together pretty early on Sunday because I’m watching my niece and won’t be on the computer as much for Sunday afternoon/evening. If something does change, don’t hesitate to let me know if the comments and I’ll give my thoughts on the new guy. It’s a brutal board to start the week after Skenes so be very careful out there!

Solid board for Friday with plenty of opportunities at every level. As always, there is risk which is heightened in September as we have less time to undo a dud, but we can’t just sit on our hands being afraid of a dud if we are chasing points in the standings. Speaking of risk, I just don’t see myself starting Luis Gil anywhere right now. He’s fresh off the IL and hasn’t been pitching that well for some time. I’m very thankful for what he gave us this season and I’ll happily revisit in 2025, but I’m OK cutting him for the remainder of 2024.

Let me know if you have questions about anyone else.
