aaron boone demoted to AAA: where do you get your ideas from?

3:36

Paul Sporer: To write about? All sorts of different places. Just persuing leaderboards, watching games, seeing some stat on Quick Pitch that spurs me to look deeper… just consumption of baseball stuff in general. I keep a notes app file of ideas that pop into my head randomly. Sometimes, though, I stare at a blank Word doc for an hour-plus

Paul Sporer Baseball Chat – March 24th, 2021

Transcript is now live!

Paul Sporer: Entering our final big weekend of drafts, let’s roll!

1:04

BombersBeat: How much should the Gallen injury “tank” his ADP?

1:05

Paul Sporer: If the league has IL spots, I’ll take a 5-6 round discount, but he’s basically off my board in NFBC-style leagues where you only get the 7 reserves. I just don’t like putting already injured pitchers on my teams

Airwhite54: Hello Sporer

Paul Sporer: Yo!

Buster Posey: Is he a top ten C in OBP leagues?

Fantasy Baseball Chat With Jeff Zimmerman

11:01
Jeff Zimmerman: Let’s start. I may not be up-to-date on all the news. I’ve had a lot going on in my life but will help in any way I can.

11:01
Raggedy Nick Burkett: Tim Anderson’s last 2 years of extremely high bapip legit?

11:03
Jeff Zimmerman: He’s the type of player to post them. GBs with speed, but no one has ever been at this level over a long stretch. If he keeps it up, he’ll be the first.

11:03
Greg: Pick two prospect stashes for this year: Spencer Howard, Edward Cabrera, Corbin Martin, Matthew Liberatore.

11:03
Jeff Zimmerman: Howard and Martin

11:04
Doug: Do you have a favorite sleeper reliever? The best one I got in my h2h points draft was Matt Barnes, though I’m thinking I can steal someone from the waiver wire soon.

Paul Sporer Baseball Chat 3/17/21

Check out the transcript below!

1:58

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, let’s talk some baseball!!

2:01

Greg: Points league – How would you rank Sal Perez, Contreras, Will Smith, Grandal? I’m mostly trying to project who will be in the lineup the most because they all feel similar.

2:03

Paul Sporer: I’d definitely run it through the Auction Calculator w/y’all’s settings. I agree they are close. If Ks count negative, I might lean toward Contreras/Salvy. If BBs also count and negate the Ks, go Grandal

2:03

Chris: Thanks for the Chat!  Who do you like making the most impact this year: Gore, Gilbert or Kopech?

2:04

Paul Sporer: Thanks for coming out! I’d lean Gilbert there as I think he gets the biggest opportunity to start of the three.

2:04

KleShreen: Do you expect Shohei to be full tilt in 2021, pitching every 5th game and batting 3-of-4 in-between?
