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

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

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.

copecru81: Pfaadt or Abbott keeper league?

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

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.

Paul Sporer: Hello hello!! It’s chat time and if you want to follow the Rule 5 Draft, you can do that here: https://www.mlb.com/video/live-rule-5-draft-90176?t=mlb-pipeline

PJ: You (actually Justin) intimated that Jackson Holliday has a real chance to break camp. How high would you take him in a DC and also a ME type team?

Paul Sporer: Those will vary a good bit bc by the time Mains come around, we’ll have a better idea on Holiday and his price will probably be top 75. For DCs, he’s going just inside the top 200 which isn’t terrible and could pay off nicely.

Arson Judge: How will Jon Heyman botch Soto’s name in the race to break the inevitable trade news?

Paul Sporer: Juan Soros going to NYY!

Richard: When will your updated SP rankings be published?

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, welcome to the chat!! Get your questions in, I’m letting the dogs out & filling my water bottle, but then we’ll get goin’!

Paul Sporer: Emilio Pagan to the Reds… I’m sure that’ll go well w/his homers in Cincy lol

Pedro: Dynasty points league (so no wins), how far apart are Grayson, Detmers and Woo value wise for 2024?

Paul Sporer: I’ve got Grayson a level above the other 2 and then Detmers / Woo right by each other leaning toward Detmers

Kyle: Emilio Pagan and his career 52% FB rate in GABP seems like maybe a bad idea. If Glasnow gets traded to the Reds, how much will it hurt him?

Paul Sporer: Yes it could be really tough for Pagan in Cincy. Glasnow would get hurt, too, but has enough skill to still be interesting. His price would have to drop a good for me in Cincy, though

Paul Sporer: Hey everyone! Thanks for coming out!!!

James: What prospects do you see making an impact on the ‘24 Mets

Paul Sporer: I still have confidence in Brett Baty. I like Mark Vientos as a power-only guy. Drew Gilbert, who they got from Houston in the JV trade is interesting. Ronny Mauricio has an appealing pwr-spd profile, it is undercut by a rough plate profile that includes too many Ks and not nearly enough BB.

Ben: Confidence in Framber next year? Seems to have faded a bit down the stretch…what tier of pitcher would you rank him with?

Paul Sporer: Yeah I’m not going anywhere with him. He had a brutal July and then a few roadbumps the rest of the way with several gems still mixed in, including the August 1st no-hitter. I’d love for the rough playoff to drop his price a bit, I’ll gladly buy

Pete Rose Jr.: Can you see the Reds trading India to Seattle for a young SP?
