Thanks for coming out!!

Check out my new SP rankings here and feel free to ask questions about them today

1:03

Paul Sporer: Hey y’all, how’s it going?

1:03

Matt: 12 tm roto dynasty you dropping Zebby for Melton?

1:04

Paul Sporer: No, I’d stick w/Zebby for now

1:04

RAGBRAI: Anything splashy from the Brewers next week or just some tinkering around the edges?

1:04

Paul Sporer: Probablyyyy tinkering. They have guys working their way back from injuries that they no doubt view as pseudo-acquisitions so I doubt they go for a blockbuster

1:06

steve: what in the actual is wrong with teoscar

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

7:31
Jeff Zimmerman: Here tonight’s winning ToutWars bids in the two 15-team redraft leagues.

7:31
Jeff Zimmerman:

7:31
Garden Goblin: David Robertson worth a grab in SV/HLD leagues?

7:32
Jeff Zimmerman: Yes, but I don’t know if I’d count on starting him. The Phils might not immediately put him in a high leverage role

7:32
Vader: Hi Jeff! Do you believe Clase will get moved and we should be stashing Smith??

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – July 9th, 2025

Just a shorty today — 30 minutes!
Transcript is now live

1:02

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Thanks for coming out, just a quickie today at 30 minutes as I’ve got an appt. at 1:30 CT

1:02

Playing it close to the Vest: As a Tigers fan, do you think that Vest is their long-term closer? Or will they be looking to bump him down, either at the deadline or during the off-season? He’s already 30 years old and without a long track record of closing

1:03

Paul Sporer: I’d be surprised. Harris and Hinch seem to view the closer’s role as very fluid so I wouldn’t be investing with any sort of long-term vision on any Tigers RP, tbh

1:07

Ess Pee: Could you rank these arms: Slade C, Colton Gordon, T Rogers? Are they all above the rp threshold (Matt Brash) in an al only?

1:07

Paul Sporer: In reverse order of how you listed them but very little separation. I do think they all clear Brash unless you want some runoffs SVs and good ratios

1:08

Boston Pen: Where are you on Jordan Hicks? He hasn’t been that much better in Boston but people are spec’ing on him taking over for Chapman. Does the save potential make him better than arms with better results like Matt Brash/Varland/Yariel Rodriguez?

Justin Mason’s Baseball Chat – July 7, 2025

11:26

I am doing regular podcasts on the FWFB podcast as well as three episodes a week for the Sleeper and the Bust so definitely make sure you are subscribed there as well!

12:00
Hazmat Corntail: 14t dynasty (standard 5, QS), please rank these SP for RoS and beyond: Ober, Cecconi, Priester, Bello, Soroka

12:00
Justin Mason: Cecconi, Ober, Bello, Priester, Soroka

12:00
Derek: Listening to your discussion with Jason yesterday about Royce Lewis, 12 team keeper league with tons of pitching but weak in hitting – I offered this: Michael Harris and Kumar Rocker for Royce Lewis and TJ Friedl.  The other owner has an old team so I’m trying to sell him some youth?  Thoughts?

12:01
Justin Mason: I love this deal. You get the best player for this year in Friedl and the highest upside player for now and the future in Lewis. Great job

12:02
Tim: ROS and beyond: a) Otto Lopez,  b) Ha-Seong Kim, c) they’re the same guy d) they’re the same guy, but Otto also has 2B eligibility for ‘26 already

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

7:31
Jeff Zimmerman: Here are winning bids from the two 15-team Tout Wars leagues.

7:32
Jeff Zimmerman:

7:32
hscer: I feel like if Walter had a 94 mph 4-seamer he’d be 90% rostered. But at 92 I’m not sure how sustainable his peripherals really are. I have him in places, I’m just not convinced. What do you think the realistic ceiling is here?

7:34
Jeff Zimmerman: Even with a 6 K/9, the low walk rate and high groundball rate would make him useful.

7:34
ryan: assuming burns stays on the roster ROS, will you take him over walter?

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – July 2nd, 2025

Transcript is live, thanks for coming out!

1:04

Paul Sporer: Hey y’all thanks for coming out!!

1:04

John: Hi Paul.  What do you think of trading Naylor and Lawler for Roman Anthony in a keeper league?

1:05

Paul Sporer: I don’t mind that if you’re hot on Anthony. There’s a world where he and Lawlar are really close, but I can see believing Anthony has the edge enough to throw in Naylor

1:05

Liam: Lost Pena (for who knows how long with the Astros track record) and traded my Glasnow for Swanson. Thoughts?

1:05

Paul Sporer: I totally dig that. Fills an immediate need, more than anything Glasnow was doing right now and Swanson is v solid & part of a great lineup

1:05

eric: are you holding onto Ryne Nelson after this favorable stretch of the schedule?

7:32
Jeff Zimmerman: Lopez, Adames, Albies

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – June 25th, 2025

Thanks for coming out!!

1:04

Paul Sporer: Hellllllooooo everyone, thanks for coming out! Skenes/Mis about to start and we’re talkin baseball!

1:04

BrewCrew: dyansty H2H Category league…which side do you like ROS: Lindor/Skenes for Elly/Roman Anthony/Perades

1:07

Paul Sporer: This is a pretty good deal both ways, I don’t have a HARD lean. I push a little toward Lindor/Skenes even w/the inherent SP risk tied to Skenes. But two great power-speed guys in Elly/Roman plus a nice power bat w/Paredes is a good return. Strong trade!

1:08

MS: I want to snag Sonny Gray for these @Cle/@Pit starts but will have to drop an RP. Its svsholds so I don’t really care if they close just as long as they get high leverage spots. Who would you be willing to risk exposing to the wire: Clase, Hoffman, Weaver, J Adam, Estrada, Cade Smith?

1:10

Paul Sporer: Probably one of the Padres or Weaver. I know Weaver just got announced back into the SVs share w/Williams but like you said, SVHD mitigates caring about that. So ya, one of those 3. No HEAVY lean b/w ’em… maybe whoever has pitched the most in the last 5-7 days

1:10

Joe Boyle: When do I get the call back to the majors?
