Paul Sporer: Good afternoon, y’all! Let’s talk some baseball!

Garbel: Which year do you think the Mariners will break their playoff drought?

Paul Sporer: 2023

Greg: I’m having a tough time deciding on my 1B and corner IF spots next year. How would you fill those spots out of Andrew Vaughn, Rizzo, Austin Riley and Kiriloff in a league where I can keep them forever?

Paul Sporer: I’d probably start moving away from Rizzo and while I do love Kirilloff, he is behind Vaughn & Riley right now due to the health

Jose Alpizar: Should I hold ok Kelenic on a 12 team league? What’s his true upside for 2021?

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!

Dave: Too soon predictions (especially considering today’s IL move) for where Rodon and Ray will open next year in your SP rankings?

Paul Sporer: Yeah, I really need to final 2 months for both to have a good feel of where I’m at. Rodon had to get some time off so this IL stint makes sense, epsec. when they have a ready made stud to fill in with Kopech.

Dave: I know you’re usually not into guys returning from TJ (at least immediately), but what are your ROS expectations for Sale? The reports from his rehab starts have been glowing…

Paul Sporer: I primarily eschew drafting them, but once back I start to give them more attention. Sale has no doubt looked sharp in his rehab outings. Usually my issue w/TJ returners for fantasy is that they will almost certainly hit a wall in a couple starts out of nowhere so the duds can outweigh the 2-3 gems and really hurt their numbers. Sale certainly looks ready to roll, though, and if you have him, you should be starting him once back

Martin: Keeper league question: Is one year of 26 yr old Bieber better than three of 30 yr old Gausman? 16 tm h2h 6×6 league with quality starts instead of wins. Other three keepers (you can keep four) are all hitters. No cost associated with either.

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

JC: LOL @ the mookie collection requirements.

Paul Sporer: An elite card being tough to get? Wow… what an idea lol

Paul Sporer: The complaints about it are MUCH funnier, tbh. With all due respect, y’all are being whack.

CT: Hey Paul, appreciate the chat. Hold or Fold in 12tm roto: Conforto & Gonsolin respectively

Paul Sporer: I’m definitely open to cutting both depending on who you’re picking up. Gonso is easiest to cut but I can definitely get behind moving on from Conforto in a 12-teamer

Paul Sporer: Welcome, everyone! Let’s talk some baseball!

CT: Hey Paul, looking to replace Grandal (like everyone else) in a 12tm 6×6. Sean Murphy and Max Stassi are both on the wire. They both have their pros and cons, but what say you for the next 4-6 weeks? Appreciate the help and the chat!

Paul Sporer: I love Stassi, I definitely prefer him here

Guest: Thoughts on Urquidy, who does not appear on your Patreon SP List?

Paul Sporer: I’m not really ranking injury guys until they return, but I’m still a huge fan. He’s just an uncertainty right now

Rays: How do you feel about Luis Patino’s performance this far for the Rays?

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Thanks for coming out, let’s chat!

Greg: Why has Blake Snell been so bad this year?

Paul Sporer: His command has been particularly problematic and a .329 BABIP is exacerbating the issues

Kole Calhoun: What’s my value ROS?

Paul Sporer: Decent power OF worthy of consideration in 12+ teamers with 5 OF

Greg: Do you regret putting Vlad at #14 in your 1B rankings (behind absolute studs like Dom Smith, Alec Bohm, Moose)? You said “Not out on potential studification, but why buy this high on pure spec at a position like 1B?” Seems like everyone forgot that Vlad is only 22 is players improve.
