Is this year's Brandon Crawford the new BC or is this an aberration?

Paul Sporer

1:31

I won't be betting on a 35-year-old Crawford to repeat. He likely won't be super expensive, though, either.

sean

Josiah gray’s last start concerning at all? You bumping down your top 40 rank?

Paul Sporer

1:36

Nah, first bad start against a quality lineup. And he's 47th.

Sean

1:36

Kelenic seemed to be improving but astros seem to have his number and with so many games remaining vs them, as well as other bad matchups, he’s a drop in redraft right?

Paul Sporer

1:37

Oh I dropped him a while ago. Definitely off him for '21 in anything but AL Only, but still in long-term for sure

Mike

1:37

Is blackmon cuttable in 12 team redraft?

Paul Sporer

1:37

5 OF probably not, but 3 OF I get it for sure

sean

1:38

Rutschman or Baz getting the call in Sept? Which Sept callup do you think has the most fantasy impact?

Paul Sporer

1:39

I think Baz will but probably as an RP. I don't see Adley Rutschman getting the call. Jose Miranda is someone I'm keying in on as a big September player

Brandon Lowe is a 70 grade Fernando Tatis. Pretty much the same player, just Tatis is a little better at everything.

Paul Sporer

1:40

More like 55-60, but that's bc Tatis is elite. Lowe is still v good, though

you think Andres Gimenez is worth rostering in 15 team leagues? Starting to sit against RHP (like last night), not just LHP and he's been bad. It feels like pure upside at this point, not sure it's worth it

Paul Sporer

1:43

Yeah, I moved on. He's not playing much or doing all that well when he does play

Paul Sporer

1:44

Oh wow, that's horrific. One of my viewers actually told me about the messed up raid, but I didn't get the full details that they were targeted to LGBTQ people. That's so awful

Clown Question Bro

1:44

Better chances of closing next year for a stash:Sewald, Bednar, Finnegan, J Barlow or Ottavino?

Paul Sporer

1:45

I'd say Barlow, but do we really want the Texas closer?

Puddin' Head Jones

1:45

Logan Webb or Cal Quantrilll. Who do you like for next year?

Paul Sporer

1:46

I REALLY like both and I'm a huge Quantrill guy, but Webb has better K ability which makes him a better fantasy bet so I'll be ranking him higher than Quantrill

I used to be Mel Clark

1:46

16 Team OBP League, Keep 5, No Cost. Who would you keep out of Devers, Moncada, Ketel, Harper, Kyle Tucker, Mondesi, Lux, Rutschman, Scherzer, Darvish, Peralta, Castillo?

Paul Sporer

1:47

Devers, Harper, Tucker, Scherzer for sure. Last spot comes down to Darvish, Peralta or Castillo for me. I'd lean Peralta right now

Guest

1:48

Concerned about Darvish's bad run? Recently acquired him for next year and not sure if I should be looking to move him in the off season

Paul Sporer

1:50

I have some concerns that his trouble coincides w/the crackdown: 5.74 ERA, though his 1.14 WHIP and 30% K are still good so not all hope is lost. His HR rate is through the roof at 2.2 which lends some credence to sticky stuff issues, but then why is BB% still so good? I'm concerned, but far from out

Olympic Beds

Joe Ryan day!!! Odds he can go 6 IP today?

Paul Sporer

1:52

Feels VERY low considering he's done that once in the minors this year, but I am excited about Ryan overall

sean

1:52

When will next SP ranking update come out?

Paul Sporer

1:52

Mid-month

What is Twitch?

Paul Sporer

1:52

lol

Raisel Iglesias

1:52

I've low-key had an awesome season. What kind of contract have I earned?

Paul Sporer

1:53

Yeah Iglesias has been awesome. I'm bad at guessing facts & figures on deals, but I'd think something Hendriks-esque

Mr. Fister

1:53

NL Cy Young....do you have Buehler or the field? (Burnes or Wheeler)

Paul Sporer

1:54

I'd take the field just bc it's not a lock for Buehler. I think Woodruff has a strong chance, too

Who_Is_Zorbist

1:54

The Rays had to choose between Jake Cronenworth, Willy Adames, Brandon Lowe, Wander Franco, and Taylor Walls. Meanwhile Red Sox fans are excetied for Christian Arroyo's return.

Paul Sporer

1:54

LOL, yeah I think many forget the Rays had Cronenworth

Mr. Fister

1:54

Does Lance Lynn getting hurt make the Cy Young race between Cole and Ray?

Paul Sporer

1:55

Yep, definitely. Maybe one of Lynn's teammates could be a darkhorse with a massive September, but it's Ray/Cole battling right now

How much do the Brewers regret the Yelich extension?
