Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – March 12th, 2025

March 12, 2025

Transcript is now available!

1:00	Paul Sporer: Welcome, thanks for coming out! I’ve got an SP rankings update coming out later today so we’ll probably be on a tight hour, let’s dive right in!

1:00	Flippy: Josh Lowe – Top 25 OF or Top 15 OF by end of the year?

1:01	Paul Sporer: Very comfortable w/the top 25 but can def see a Top 15 if he really thrives in that new home park as many of us believe he can. I’m in on the buyback!

1:02	hurt people hurt people: Favorite IL stash dart throw (in an AL league with unlimited IL)? Bradish? Bieber? Christian Javier? Ha-Seong Kim 김하성? Pablo Sandoval? David Fry? Or something else? (Kutter/Neto/Meadows/Grayson back too soon to expect a discount)

1:02	Paul Sporer: Probably going for Kim there. Those pitchers are too far out with 2nd half returns. And I know you meant Patrick Sandoval, but Pablo is a funny typo!

1:02	Ted: Does Verlander have 1 more good season left? He blew Lawrence Butler away a couple times yesterday at 96

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – March 5th, 2025

by Paul Sporer

March 5, 2025

Transcript is now available, thanks for coming out!

1:00	Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!

1:00	Frank: In a keep forever, would you rather have Jared Jones or Bryan Woo?

1:01	Paul Sporer: I lean Jones there in part due to Woo’s injury history, though I freely admit that any pitcher is super susceptible to injury and it’s not like Jones didn’t have a big injury of his own last yr

1:02	Mochi: Even if Luis Robert doesn’t return to the dizzying heights of yesteryear, he’s still a top 10 CF for how many years providing reasonable health?

1:03	Paul Sporer: Still just 27 yrs old, so at least the next 3-4 yrs I’d think

1:03	ObliqueSoChic: 12T 5×5 12 spot keep forever – can I trust Christian Walker as a keeper with his age and oblique history? I guess I have to?
