1:02

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Thanks for coming out!!
1:03

Hank Scorpio: Hey Paul, thanks as always for the chat. The Catcher carousel continues to spin for me. 12tm 6×6 roto: T. Stephenson, B. Naylor, H. Davis, or Y. Diaz going forward? I know how you feel about rookie Cs, but it’s bleak out here
1:06

Paul Sporer: I’m gonna stick with T Step in that group right now, but he’s on notice. He’s been hitting for some pop of late w/3 HR in his last 25 gms (~20 HR pace) so if he can keep going for another couple wks, I think we could see a big summer. If he falls off again soon, Diaz in my #2 there
1:06

Guestavo: Is Flaherty rosterable in a 12 teamer or more of a streamer?
1:06

Paul Sporer: Streamer in 12s w/that BB rate
1:06

Guestie: In a 12 teamer these are all FAs. Lynn, Woo, Flaherty. What priority for FAB??

Starting Pitcher Chart – June 21st

The chart includes their season performance, their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness over the last 30 days, 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 risky 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 available!

12:58

Paul Sporer: Welcome everyone, thanks for coming out! A few minutes from the official start, but feel free to drop your questions if you’re here early!
1:00

Scott TINSTAAPP: As a fellow JV owner in the Main, how worried should we be about his ROS outlook?
1:02

Paul Sporer: I’ve got some concerns but not actionable for me right now. A dud today miiight give me some pause at HOU next wk, but I can’t imagine sitting him before seeing 10 starts
1:02

Guest: WTAH Strider
1:02

Paul Sporer: Ran into a juggernaut!! sunglasses
1:02

Insert Witty Name Here: Time to worry about Strider? Fastball has lost a few ticks (I think, haven’t fully looked). He’s always been an injury risk.  Rest of staff is currently Darvish, Hunter Brown, Eury, Taj, it’s a shallow 11 teamer with an innings cap so streaming pitchers is an option.
