Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – June 21st, 2023

Transcript is live!

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??

Jeff Zimmerman:

Jimmy.: Jeff, with Maeda close would u drop Varland bad again today for Manning?   Thanks

7:33
Jeff Zimmerman: I’m not sure Varland will get demoted but could. With Manning, his fastball velo is up 2 mph from earlier in the season but can’t find the plate. I guess it’s a fair move.

7:34
Guest: I’ve got Melendez and Sabol as my catching duo.   Naylor or Henry Davis an upgrade over Sabol?   14 team mixed roto

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – June 14th, 2023

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.

7:31
Jeff Zimmerman: Here are tonight’s bids from the two mixed 15-team Tout Wars leagues

7:31
Jeff Zimmerman:

7:32
Jeff Zimmerman: There was some heavy bidding on Coco Montes in the NL-only league

7:32
Jim: How much to bid on Gunnar Henderson in a 12 tm league?

7:33
Jeff Zimmerman: 20% … it might come down to a few managers needing help at 3B

Paul Sporer: Helllooooo everyone thanks for coming out!!

1:04

Fletch: Sporer – Buy low on Adolis?

1:04

Paul Sporer: LOL for sure 🙂

1:04

Ryan: Any concerns about the regression seen in Mitch Keller’s recent starts?

1:06

Paul Sporer: Not really, no. Yesterday’s was the only one that was bad. The trips to SF & SEA weren’t great w/10 ER in 12 IP, but he also had 16 Ks and 3 BB. He was never going to hold a 2.44 ERA, so this is some natural regression, I’m still fully in on him

1:06

Keith: Is it time to give up on Rafael Montero in a holds league?

7:33
Chris: How do you decide where to play ohtani (dh/sp) in a weekly league?

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – May 31st, 2023

Transcript is available!

1:02

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

1:02

Guest: Ward or Wisdom OBP ROS

1:03

Paul Sporer: No need to think that far ahead w/these guys. Most ROS questions put too much pressure on thinking you’ll definitely keep the guy that long. I’m still leaning Ward there despite the slow start

1:03

Jimmy Neutron Star: I scooped Jake McCarthy as a Mullins replacement. He finally live up to his draft ranking?

1:03

Paul Sporer: He certainly can. I was in on trying to get him on the wire this week after passing at his draft cost

1:07

Warren: Paredes or Gimenez ROS? 7×7 XBH + OPS

Transcript is available below:

1:01

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Thanks for coming out!

1:01

Hank Scorpio: Hey Paul, thanks as always for the chat. Are we ready to move on from Taylor Ward in 12tm roto? Starting to lose PT, maybe it’ll be a ss platoon eventually, but it’s looking grim

1:02

Paul Sporer: Yes, unfortunately. Just no pop & now not playing. Loved him coming into the season but it’s just not working right now

1:03

Kate: 1 catcher OBP dynasty league.  Need to drop one of Grandal, Garver or Elias Diaz when Garver is activated.  Who’s your drop?

1:03

Paul Sporer: Probably Garv, wanna ride out the Diaz hot streak

1:03

Tiger Beat: I’ve been trying to ride the hot hand between Andy Ibanez and Nick Maton, but I’m losing. Do you like either in an OBP league?
