Good afternoon, y'all! Let's talk some baseball!

Garbel

1:39

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

Paul Sporer

1:40

2023

Greg

1:40

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

1:40

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

1:40

Should I hold ok Kelenic on a 12 team league? What's his true upside for 2021?

Paul Sporer

1:41

Redraft?

Jose Alpizar

1:45

Yes, redraft!

Paul Sporer

1:45

I don't think you need to hold onto him at this juncture

1:46

His upside this year would be finding some pop and stealing a few bases

Mike

1:47

Jazz had everyone excited early in the year. How do you view him in dynasty 2B rankings?

Paul Sporer

1:47

I can get him top 10 for sure. He's Baez-esque in terms of his volatility. There is great upside, but the downside can be severe w/that plate profile

Greg

1:47

Q: What happens when Paul loses a dollar?

A: Paul's poorer

Henry

1:47

Do you think Tatis stays in the OF full time next year?

Paul Sporer

1:48

I think it depends on how his surgery goes and heals w/everything. If they think it can keep him even 5-10% healthier, then he'll be an OF IMO

Chas

1:48

Tejay Antone or Aaron Bummer for my H2H playoffs? HLDs/SVs are separate categories.

Paul Sporer

1:48

I'm jumping on the Antone train now that he's on rehab

Pie

1:48

Are you hoping you can make a push for the ME title?

Greg

1:48

Can you please let us know which place you're in for all your leagues?

Paul Sporer

1:52

Yes, I'm in 1st in my Main Event and top 30 in the overall. I'm 2nd in a Rotowire Online Championship (12 tms) and my TGFBI league (15), I'm living up to the name of the "Beat Paul Sporer" leagues as I'm 9th and 10th in those. I'm 2nd overall in Razzslam. Mid-pack in LABR, brutal in Tout H2H despite getting both Ohtanis (he's split as hitter and pitcher... got hitter for $4, pitcher for $1). Overall, I'm pretty happy w/how the season is going and really hope to pull at least 2 titles from those 4 teams that are 1st/2nd

Chas

1:53

FYI, Jazz is striking out less than he was. Look at his monthly splits.

Paul Sporer

1:54

Ya, it's way down this month but still 28% on the year

Brian

1:57

How would you rank these pitchers in dynasty? Montas, Skubal, Manoah, McClanahan.

Paul Sporer

1:59

I think I'd go Montas/Manoah/Skubal/McClanahan (love Shane but TB can be annoying w/how they handle guys)

Pie

2:07

Flipped Pete Alonso and Tristan McKenzie for Corbin Burnes and Hunter Dozier in a dynasty OBP league - how do you think I did there?

Paul Sporer

2:07

I'm OK with that. Burnes is a big time ace

Skippy

2:07

In the midst of a title chase in a 12 team mixed 5x5 roto, and my bench/DL is getting crowded and I need to be utilizing every spot. Should I keep holding DL stashes like Bregman and Ian Anderson or is it time to cut bait?

Paul Sporer

2:09

Both guys are on rehab so I'd definitely hold both of them, but guys like Urquidy and Pablo Lopez probably need to start being cut

2:09

thoughts on Adolis Garcia rest of the way? Other Options are Lewis Brinson, Harrison Bader, Lorenzo Cain, Austin Hays. How would you rank those guys?

Paul Sporer

2:10

I think he's very cuttable. I'd cut him for Bader all day https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/the-sleeper-and-the-bust-episode-969-tim...

Henry

2:10

Tatis to the OF full time would be kind of a bummer for his fantasy value, right?

Paul Sporer

2:11

A little, but not that much. SS is stacked and OF has actually felt thin at many points this year

2:12

Are you buying Dansby’s power and Austin Riley’s overall improvement?

Paul Sporer

2:13

Yes, Swanson keeps showing progress toward being a real stud. I buy into him. We discussed Riley on yesterday's pod and his '22 outlook. Really like him: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/the-sleeper-and-the-bust-episode-969-tim...

El Oso

2:13

End of bench drops, will likely have to make some drops to clear space for IL returnees (Lindor/Buxton). Schoop, Soler, Rojas and Mateo are the last four. Which two go?

El Oso

2:13

For my previous question, forgot to mention which Rojas: Miguel Rojas.

Paul Sporer

2:18

Unless you desperately need the SBs, cut Mateo (I think you can w/getting Lindor & Buxton back, too). I'd cut Rojas, too, unless AVG is a necessity (and again, the two returners help that)

Big Fan

2:18

Kevin Smith just called up by Blue Jays. What size league should be paying attention?

Paul Sporer

2:24

I'd say at least 12s with 10s putting him on a Watchlist bc he's power/speed (19 HR/16 SB). Is he going to play third?
