1:06	Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Happy New Year (cutting it close on the 10th day of the year, but I didn’t do the chat last week so I’m going with it)!!

1:08	Paul Sporer: I’m close to finishing the SP ranks with commentary. I did the Catchers and Shortstops as well so it’s taking a bit of time, but we didn’t want to just throw a standard list-only post up before these came out. I know I’ve been promising SP rankings for a while, but they’re v close.

1:08	Scott TINSTAAPP: Just started my first draft of the year, a slow DC…LFG

1:08	Paul Sporer: It’s that time of the year!!!

1:09	Scott TINSTAAPP: Do you like Woo and do you have concerns about how he’s virtually FB only?

1:12	Paul Sporer: I understand where that characterization comes from, but it is 3 distinct fastballs w/the 4-seamer, sinker, and cutter. And he has a slider and changeup that could improve. He’s in the 50s for me part of a group called The Next Wave. I like him.

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – December 20th, 2023

by Paul Sporer

December 20, 2023

Thanks for coming out, have a great holiday season, everyone!

Programming note: There won’t be a December 27th chat, back on January 3rd after this one

Update: I originally said chats would return January 3rd, but I’m eyeball-deep in rankings right now so catch my next chat on January 9th. Pardon me for the late change. Stay tuned for my C, SS, and SP commentary rankings coming in the next few days!

1:13	Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!!

1:13	PJ: Is Glasnow 110 million dollars better than pepiot? Is Margot any different than Doluca beyond salary? The Dodgers are making really questionable decisions imo

1:14

Paul Sporer: I love Pepiot, but Glasnow is definitely better and by quite a bit (Pep can get to a pretty high level, IMO, but Glasnow is ace quality right now). The problem is of course his health. That’s an unknowable X-factor and if he continues to deal w/health issues, it’s very possible Pepiot outearns him. Agree on Margot/Deluca.

1:14	copecru81: Pfaadt or Abbott keeper league?

1:15	Paul Sporer: Pfaadt for me. They’re close in a neutral situation, but of course there are in very different parks so I lean toward the guy who isn’t stuck in Cincy’s tough park

1:20	Globbery Robbery: Really enjoyed you and Justin on the Fantasy Baseball Today podcast with Scott and Frank. Please invite Scott on to the S&TB podcast sometime this season! I think you guys could really have good debates.
