Two Tylers

2:27

Am I the only one confusing Tyler Alexander and Tyler Anderson?

Paul Sporer

2:28

No way, I've done it myself and Alexander plays for my favorite team

Alfred

2:28

Sell high on Jo Adell for Brendan Rodgers?

Paul Sporer

2:28

is that REALLY a sell high?

Colin

2:28

India or Chisholm ROS?

Paul Sporer

2:29

India has a MUCH higher floor while Jazz has a higher ceiling so let your standings dictate where you go w/that. I'd lean India in most cases.

Cam

2:29

If you had to count on one to backend your fantasy playoff rotation, would you choose: A rookie with unsure innings like Kyle Muller, or an established ace coming off TJ like Severino?

Paul Sporer

2:31

I think you can lean on Muller a bit bc he only has 71 IP so he might not face an aggressive shutdown. I just don't like trusting TJ guys, espec. in a fantasy playoff situation (to wit, I'd go Sevvy in Roto bc bottom line matters more, but the volatility could kill you in a given week in H2H)

Kyle

2:31

Paul, can you guarantee us that Blake Snell will not be ranked within the top 70 pitchers when you do 2022 SP rankings? (Was lucky #13 this year)

Paul Sporer

2:34

Look, he's my boy and I consider him a friend, but I don't want to just rank him high for funsies. I believed in my ranking coming into the year thinking he could build on what he's done to date while also expanding his workload. I can't promise he won't be top 70, but he won't be top 50

Sam

2:34

Which is most likely: Torkelson debuts this year, he is up on opening day 2022, he is up sometimes after a few weeks go by in 2022?

Paul Sporer

2:34

The latter for sure

We Missed You

2:34

Hey Paul, truly not trying to give you a hard time about this. Love what you do and know how busy you must be. But it seemed like there may have been fewer monthly SP ranks on the site this year between Opening Day and the ASB. Did I miss 'em or did they migrate to the Patreon?

Paul Sporer

2:35

They migrated to Patreon, but I should've done more monthlies on the site. I will have at least 2 more updates rest of season on FG

Ramp

2:35

Noelvi Marte or Julio Rodriguez in a 12 team keeper?

Paul Sporer

2:35

J Rod for me

Porcho Villa

2:35

What's wrong with Yu? Rough stretch and got trounced by COL on the road last week. Think he turns it around ROS?

MasterVader

2:35

You see anything wrong with Darvish? He’s been downright ordinary for a while….no sticky stuff?

Paul Sporer

2:37

Hard not to think the sticky stuff didn't play a role on some level: 2.50 ERA before, 6.25 ERA since. HR9 jumped from 1.0 to 2.6 and that's command which is pretty easy to tie to sticky stuff

Steve Nebraska

2:38

Re: Harper v Tucker... Tucker since he's younger and it's a dynasty

Paul Sporer

2:38

Not an unfair take, but I tend to look at a 2-3 yr block even for dynasties and I'd still prefer Harper in that window

Chantanella

2:40

12-tm, Roto, Keep forever, going for it all this year after finishing 4th then 3rd then 2nd.

I traded my Arenado, Jarren Duran, Skubal, and Asa Lacy for their Judge, Haniger, and Spencer Howard. How'd I do?

Caveat: I was stocked way too deep at 3B and was weak in the OF (start one 3B, one CI, five OF).

Paul Sporer

2:40

I'm with it. It makes logical sense based on your needs and situation

Also Paul

2:40

Are you buying Hosmer's BA resurgence?

Paul Sporer

2:42

Sure but when you only hit the ball on the ground, it's bound to go up

Dave

2:43

The Schoopening! I love it. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:43

It's such a great time of each season!

Sad, Confused Marlins Fan

2:43

Hold Sewald? got a hold last night.

Paul Sporer

2:44

Yeah you can, but I think Castillo is going to at last fulfill his TB as "mostly the guy"

Kyle

2:45

Have you come around on Cedric Mullins? I remember listening to S&tB prior to the season and Justin was always singing his praises but you were very pessimistic.

Paul Sporer

2:45

Was I?

I give Justin all the credit on him, but I don't recall having any sort of strong negative take on him

Kolten

2:47

You like Luzardo or Hamels better as a late-season flyer?

Paul Sporer

2:48

I'd rather take the Luzardo shot
