7:34
Jeff Zimmerman: It comes down to league depth. Even in my 12’s the waiver wire options are sad so I’m holding. Otherwise, move on.

7:35

7:35

Paul Sporer’s Weekly Chat – August 3rd, 2022

Transcript is live!

1:01

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Are we recovering from the frenzy?

1:01

Walker Buehler: Level of concern about my injury for next season?

1:01

Paul Sporer: Too early to say.

1:01

Chuck: Is it time to give up on Castellanos?

1:03

Paul Sporer: Definitely depends who you’re picking up for him, but my goodness has he been bad! Given the substantial fall off and just utter lack of power, it’s hard not to think he’s playing through something, right? His skills didn’t just melt, right?! At any rate, I understand moving on in shallower formats

1:03

Chuck: Do you believe in Detmers’ recent surge? Apparently he tweaked his slider during his recent sojourn in Salt Lake.

7:31
Jeff Zimmerman:

7:31
Guest: Drop Houck for Luis Garcia?

7:32
Jeff Zimmerman: I think it’s a vertical move. Garcia (SD) isn’t supposed to keep the job forever. The plan is to bring Rogers back.

Paul Sporer’s Baseball Chat – July 20th, 2022

All-Star break chat!

1:10

Paul Sporer: Good afternoon, y’all! Worst day in baseball today with no games or MLB-based events!

1:11

Paul Sporer: But we’ll make it better with some chatting!!

1:11

Leo: What are your thoughts on Braxton Garrett? Are his improvements for real?

1:12

Paul Sporer: I’m certainly intrigued by him. He showed major BB gains in AAA and has brought them to the majors so far. If he can continue this newfound control, there is some real 2H upside

1:12

Jim Leyland Palmer: For next season onwards, is Strider a top tier starting pitcher keeper asset? Or is there some concerns / variability with his future?

1:12

Paul Sporer: I wouldn’t quite go top tier but he’s up there. It’s always hard to predict the future with SPs, but his stuff is excellent and he doesn’t seem daunted by the shift to starting

Sunday Night Waiver Wire & FAAB Chat

7:32
Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome and I’ll probably just go 45 minutes.

7:32
KCbbq: With Jake Meyers not running away with the CF job and McCormick hitting better do you think the latter has a chance of getting the job back……or will Houston trade for a CFer? McCormick is available via FAAB.

7:33
Jeff Zimmerman: I think it’s Meyers job for a bit longer. The Astros could trade for a center fielder.

7:33
Don Juan: Nolan Jones or Jose Miranda ROS? Thanks!

7:34
Jeff Zimmerman: Comes done to need. Without any context Jones. I’m worried about Miranda’s playing time with so many corner bats.

7:34
KCbbq: Akil Baddoo is available in my 12 team AL only 5×5 keeper league. How much FAAB (out of 18 left of 100) are you willing to spend? Detroit has such a pitiful offense am afraid to roster another  (have Greene).
