7:30
Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome.

7:30
Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the results from the two 15-team, Tout Wars mixed leagues.

7:31
Jeff Zimmerman:

7:31
Brian: Ward or Siri as a replacement for Robert?

7:32
Jeff Zimmerman: Both? Neither should be available. I’d go with Ward first.

7:32
The Batman: With Nootbaar coming off the IL soon and interesting options on FAAB like Marsh and Joe, would you cut Outman already in a 12 team 5×5? He’s been awful and now isn’t a constant in the lineup.

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – April 3rd, 2024

Thanks for coming out!!

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!

1:07

Anon: Need help on the corners. Should I drop any of Cronenworth, France or Vaughn for E. Duran?

1:07

Paul Sporer: Maybe Vaughn, but that group is pretty similar overall

1:07

Guest: Cutter Krawford or Tanner Houck?  Houck had the A’s, but 10

1:08

Paul Sporer: Crawford for me. I like Houck so I’m down for both if you can finagle it, but if it’s just one, gimme Kutter

1:08

Mike: What are the stabilization rates on power metrics,K rate and plate discipline?

Sunday Night Waiver Wire & FAAB Chat

7:32
Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

7:33
Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the winning bids from the two 15-team Tout Wars Mixed leagues.

7:34
Jeff Zimmerman:

7:34
John: Alexis Diaz has been shaky (at best) since midway through last season. If we’re speculating for Reds’ saves, is it Cruz, Pagan, or Sims?

7:35
Jeff Zimmerman: I’d stay away even if he does struggle. I’d hope they would trade for some bullpen help.

7:35
nfbc12s: % FAAB for Turang?

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – March 27th, 2024

Transcript is now available, thanks for coming out!

1:02

Paul Sporer: Welcome everyone!

1:03

Too Many Mooks: What is the spring training performance you feel the most illogically encouraged by?

1:03

Paul Sporer: Gotta be the Tigers pitching, lol

1:03

Guest: Hi Paul, AL only league.  Pick two to keep, all cost the same: E Carter, Grayson , and Ragans.  Thanks

1:03

Paul Sporer: Without knowing the scoring or anything, I’d say Ragans/Carter. Tough to get rid of any of ’em, but I’d def go 1 P and Carter

1:03

Sabey Sabes: Yamamoto’s stuff was NASTY. Feel bad for hitters once he course corrects that command.

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – March 20th, 2024

We went 2.5 hrs today!!

1:03

Paul Sporer: Welcome, thanks for coming out!!

1:03

Kyle: Looks like Justin’s Elly-to-AAA call is looking pretty rough so far after all of these injuries skull

1:04

Paul Sporer: He never said he was definitely going to Triple-A.. suggested that if he played poorly enough (like his 2H last yr), then he could get sent back down

1:04

Paul Sporer: Sucks about Matt McLain getting cry

1:04

Guest: Hi Paul.  Over under 130 games for Royce?

1:05

Paul Sporer: The safe bet is under, but I’m willing to take the shot on his skills because the upside is rich

Paul Sporer’s Weekly Chat – March 13th, 2024

Thanks for coming out!!

1:02

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

1:03

GM: Drafting a HR’s only points league. 10 teams. 20 hitter rosters. Who are some favorite boppers in the middle / late rounds to target? Nelson Velazquez’s of the world already going off the board.

1:07

Paul Sporer: Rizzo, Melendez, Kerry Carpenter, Kepler, Chapman, Bryant, Rooker, Stanton, Raley, Wilyer Abreu, Colas, Vientos, Cowser/Kjerstad, Noda

1:07

Insert Witty Name Here: I went to the auction calculator and input my league settings which is just OBP instead of BA. And somehow Dansby was worth more than Gunnar even though Gunnar had projections all above Swanson. Any idea how that could happen?

1:09

Paul Sporer: What set of proj. did you use? Seems weird

1:10

Mojo: Prefer Jasson or J Wood over next few years?

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – March 6th, 2024

Thanks for coming out. Let me know if the March 20th Marathon works for you!

1:01

Paul Sporer: Helloooooo everyone, how’s it going?

1:01

Mike: 12 team roto league with keepers based on round drafted and yearly escalator.

1:01

Mike: would you draft and if so where? Shane Mac & Baz  12 team roto keeper league based on draft position and annual escalators for each year kept.

1:01

Paul Sporer: Do you have unlimited IL slots?

1:02

Rabbit ball: Do your feelings on rabbits or other one cat players change at all in a h2h context vs roto?

1:03

Paul Sporer: Not really, but I guess I can maybe use them more pointedly in H2H and perhaps work around their flaws a bit more maybe? Although I would be so angry to bench a Ruiz type the day he rips off 4 SBs. I just don’t like the player type, doesn’t fit my managing style
