I've been pushing him up a bit and bought a bit into Roberts' comments about seeing him as a full-timer. He is still pretty affordable for the upside (200-215 recently)

Charles

What r the ceilings for Trevor rogets and daulton jefferies? I added both of em in my dynasty.

Paul Sporer

1:29

Big Rogers fan! Love prospects w/a plus changeup and have really become a fan of Marlins SPs in general given their development record. I don't have as much on Jefferies. I know he's had a massive spring and could make the club. I'm taking Rogers over him, though

Joel

1:29

Also woeful at 1B. Aguilar or Tellez? Hat tip to Cory.

Paul Sporer

1:31

I'm gonna do a little cop out and say both. Aguilar if volume is your key factor as he's the starter, Tellez if you're going off pure talent and OK w/him maybe not having a full-time role. He should at least be the strong side platoon at DH and if his '20 K gains have ANY legitimacy, he'll get more and more PT

Henry

Evan White a decent 1B buy as a prospect who everyone has forgotten about because of a bad 2020?

Paul Sporer

1:32

Yesss! I quite like White. I don't love reserving a 1B-only player (generally prefer more flexibility on my bench), but I think there's a boatload of upside for White so I'm making the exception w/him

Baruk

Ian Anderson and Stanton for Vlad Jr and Plesac?

Paul Sporer

1:32

Vlad/Plesac for me

Adam

Paul, love your podcast and your twitch streams. Dynasty points league. I’ve been offered D May and Gonsolin for Biggio. I’m in “win now” mode. I’m having a hell of a time deciding yeah or nah?

Paul Sporer

1:33

Thanks so much! I love Gonsolin and definitely understand the upside w/May, but you gotta keep Biggio in a win now situation. Neither Gonso nor May has a guaranteed SP role so gimme the everyday guy on a great team who might not leadoff if Springer has to miss time w/the oblique

Oh gary

1:33

What round do you feel comfortable grabbing Gary Sanchez as your C. ( please don’t say never; haha)

Paul Sporer

1:34

11-13 area of a 15 team (pick 165 or later).

Tomas

1:35

Why are projections so high on Bichette’s SB? 20+ seems really aggressive

Paul Sporer

1:35

Totally agree and mentioned as much in my SS rankings https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/paul-sporers-top-50-shortstops/

Misty

1:35

Winker or Verdugo?

Paul Sporer

1:35

Verdugo. Full time player with premium AVG

Troy

1:35

Slow auction winding down, I have Castillo/Paddack/Burnes/Lopez/Gausman/D.May
Roto with IP (not W or QS)
I can probably pick 3 of:
Mahle/Urquidy/Kopech/Marquez/Gonsolin/McKenzie/Civale/Paxton/Heaney
I value roughly in that order. Thoughts?
Okay to pushin on Kopech w/ IP?

Paul Sporer

1:36

I'd move Kopech way back. He's not slated to start in the rotation so I'd favor Civale ahead of him for. Urq/Civale/Mahle would be awesome

1:36

How soon do you think we see Rocker or Leiter pitching in MLB?

Paul Sporer

1:37

Probably 2024 at the earliest

You buying Dobnak's new slider usage inducing K's for the long term?

Paul Sporer

1:41

Little bit, yeah. Had to push him up the ranks when I was reading about his spring the other night

purplemini

1:41

any reason to believe Ronald Guzman has figured it out?

Paul Sporer

1:47

This is one of those guys where he's always "looked the part" so I've rooted for him to figure it out and tap into the power we expect his frame to deliver. I know that's a silly reason to root for him, but when he connects, he can his some beautiful homers. He was a moderately well regarded prospect, but it just looked like we weren't going to get anything special after his first 800 PA.

He's young enough (26) that I can't ignore this spring surge combined w/him discussing how different he feels. I haven't drafted him yet and I'm not sure I will but he's 100% on the FAAB watchlist, though the potential to add OF makes him a more viable stash as a 1B/OF.

For those unaware: he's raking in spring w/a .313/.405/.656 line 3 HR, 5 BB, and 8 K in 37 PA.

Lost Gallen in NL-only. Who do you prefer: T Antone, C Martinez, Bumgarner, M Keller, J Cueto, T Rogers, A DeSclafani, A Mills

Paul Sporer

1:48

If I thought Antone had the gig on lock, I'd go him. But I think Mills and his early potential schedule is the fill-in option here for Gallen. Is it still drafting? No way these guys are FAs, right?

Michelle Branch

1:48

RANDY DOBNAK CHAT SECTION! Is he worth rostering in 12team H2H league, or should I say "Goodbye to You"?

Paul Sporer

1:48

See above!

CJ Cron

1:48

If I start 140 games, what does my line look like in Coors?

Paul Sporer

1:51

.265-35-95 in ~570 PA

Matt Y(2001 NYS Wrestling Champ)

1:53

I over paid for Kirby Yates and my bullpen stinks. Who are some low cost replacement options that might be on my waiver wire? I always have a terrible bullpen and I wind up giving away great players to try and fix it.

Paul Sporer

1:55

If you can't get Romano/Dolis, then Nick Wittgren, maybe Matt Bush or Ian Kennedy in TEX, Josh Staumonth, Giovanny Gallegos, Stefan Crichton

Prancer

Hi Sporer, auction draft question in QS ($260 budget): Would you rather DeGrom + $1-5 pitcher or 2 $25ish pitchers (Nola, Flaherty, Kershaw, Glasnow, Snell)

Paul Sporer

1:58

I mean it kinda depends on the $1-5 pitcher in question, but would that even be the comparison? LIke I get it, you're saying like a $50-55 dollar budget for 2 SPs so you're making that comparison, but I still think it's better to comp deGrom & your #2 v. the 2 $25s even if it's more than $50-55 bc you're not making that $1-5 guy your 2nd starter. And I'd rather have deGrom and a $10-19 guy v. two $20-30 guys.

Bob Villar

1:58

$4 Kyle Lewis for $7 Max Kepler in an OBP dynasty. which side?

Paul Sporer

1:59

Definitely taking Lewis at nearly half the price. At equal price, I'd probably still take Lewis, tbh.

Max

How many IP for Lamet this season?
