The Wander Franco hype machine this winter is going to whip into a frenzy this winter, no?

Paul Sporer

1:57

Oh he'll be a top 50 fantasy pick

Todd

How long will it be until another small market team (Rays, Cubs, Pirates, etc) wins the world series?

Paul Sporer

1:57

CUBS?!?!!? THE CHICAGO CUBS AS A SMALL MARKET TEAM?!?!?!??!?

1:58

Sorry, I was vomiting at that notion. They aren't close to a small market no matter how hard they cry poor. As for when a smaller team will win again, who can say for sure. Could be this year. Those teams can hang w/the big dogs. It's not pre-written that LA, HOU, NY-type teams will win

How would you rank Civale, Mize, and Luzardo as keepers for dynasty? No salaries, 10 teams, standard 5x5 roto scoring. Coming into this season I would have said Luzardo is the clear number 1, but I'm definitely not so sure anymore after his struggles this year.

Paul Sporer

2:00

It's easy to say now, I understand that, but I don't think Luzardo had a CLEAR advantage coming into the year. I'd have had him #1, too, but Civale right there. I dig Mize, but his lack of Ks has to be accounted for in fantasy. I still see a peak Jordan Zimmermann type statistically for Mize which can be v good

I'm thinking I finally have to pull the plug on this year and am looking to stash Leon for next year. Can you give a brief as to what you expect from him from a fantasy standpoint next year? Thanks and I'll take your answer off the air...

Paul Sporer

2:00

Pedro Leon?

Todd

2:01

Why won't Less than Dave admit he was wrong about Plesac and you and the rest of the world was right?

Paul Sporer

2:01

We'd have to ask him directly!

Abe Toro or Andrew Vaughn for AL-only in '22?

Paul Sporer

2:02

Vaughn. I still see HUGE upside from him. I like Toro, but Vaughn's fantasy upside is substantially higher for me

6x6: R, HR, RBI, SB, OBP, SLG

2:02

Hey Paul, how would you rank these 2B ROS? All categories needed but slight pref for RBI, SB. Schoop, C. Hernandez, E. Sosa, B. Miller, J. Peterson

Paul Sporer

2:03

Schoop, Cesar, B Milly, Sosa, Peterson

Who_Is_Zorbist

2:03

Shane Baz, Luis Patino or Shane McClanahan long term?

Paul Sporer

2:04

McClanahan is my #1 of that trio w/Patiño close. I think Baz has some more RP concerns so he's the clear third until we get clarity

goobles

2:04

Pains me to drop him but Gallo is killing me in my 10T. Do you see him having another crazy power stretch to end the season or is this just who he is?

Paul Sporer

2:06

Heck, he's shown good pwr in August (5 HR, .219 ISO) despite the .156 AVG so it seems like the pop will always be there, but it's not worth the AVG hit so I get cutting him in a 10-teamer

Urquidy for the needy

2:06

Sit/Start Urquidy Friday @SD, al only?

Paul Sporer

2:06

In AL Only, I'd go for it

Cal Ripken

2:07

I never sat because of soreness. Just saying.

Paul Sporer

2:07

Cool?

2:08

He was also a below avg hitter from 1992-98 when a few days off likely would've served him well so I mean it's a dope streak and I respect Cal, but let's not pretend like today's players are soft bc they miss time. The game is different and they aren't asked to play 162 a yr. Most guys would push through, but management wisely realizes it's not worth it

Clown Question Bro

2:08

What do you see out of Pedro Leon next year if Carlos Correa signs elsewhere?

Paul Sporer

2:10

Low double-digit pop (13-16 HR), good spd (15+ SBs), modest AVG (sub .240) but solid OBP (.330+)

HappyFunBall

2:10

I should give up Cade Cavalli to get Louis Castillo right?

Paul Sporer

2:10

Absolutely

Joe

2:10

How have fans swallowed this small market BS so thoroughly?

Paul Sporer

2:11

I have no idea. Fact is, it's all horseshit. No team is actually poor, they just want to keep their pockets fat so they make the org work within tight financial restrictions to keep profits high. But it's especially gross to ever suggest that CHICAGO Cubs are a small market in any way, shape, or form

Gov Ricketts' Brother

2:11

HOW DARE YOU!

Paul Sporer

2:11

The Ricketts' are pigs

Sad, Confused Marlins Fan

2:11

Do the twins call up Miranda?

Paul Sporer

2:12

I can't see how they don't despite the fact that they haven't yet

Luke

2:12

any major concerns on marquez with playoffs on the horizon? civale is on the wire and im wondering if i should make the flip

Paul Sporer

2:13

Always gonna have some concerns w/a guy in Coors (though some road games are hurting him lately). I love Civale, but not sure I'd cut Marquez for him. Surely you have someone worse you can cut?

Spot start

2:13

Zach Thompson or Tyler Anderson?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Going Anderson there and I've made a move on Thompson in the rankings to account for his recent struggles (he was too high in my recent update on the site)

Todd

2:15

Re: Cubs being small market - they couldn't afford to keep their core (Baez, Bryant, Rizzo) so I don't think they have the capital availability of some of the other powerhouses out there. It's too bad though, perhaps Chicago should donate some tax funds to help them (similar to how they fund stadiums).

Paul Sporer

2:15

They made a chose. They absolutely could've afforded it. They're full of shit to say otherwise.
