Re: Perez at 1. I'm not saying I'm ranking Perez 1, but I think he will be the top C drafted

RAGBRAI

Will Hiura get another shot in Milwaukee or has that ship sailed? Is he a change-of-scenery candidate? He seemed to have a lot of talent and is still fairly young, but he just sort of lost it all this year.

Paul Sporer

2:25

I think it has sailed. He will be traded and the fantasy community will definitely overreact to it

Alex

2:26

If the Yankees let Rizzo go after the season and Voit’s back starting at 1B, are you back on him next year when his ADP will be way down?

Paul Sporer

2:27

Oh definitelyyyy!! I'd be surprised if he comes into the year without a job, whether w/NYY or elsewhere. I'm still fully in on him, especially at a discount!

Pete

2:28

drop Nelson Cruz for a streamer this week? Been cold and has a nagging injury

Paul Sporer

2:30

It's only been a week of slump, but it coincides completely w/the nagging injury so yeah I'd be OK w/it

2:31

Don't be afraid to move on from players this late for reasons you wouldn't have earlier in the year. It's do-or-die, get guys in there who are playing and helping you attack your categories.

Kate

How worried would you be about Story moving to a non-Coors park next year? Obviously the specific park will make a difference, but just generally how do you feel about him outside of Coors? I feel like maybe more has been made of him leaving than should be considering what we know about how much the Coors hangover hurts these guys on the road.

Paul Sporer

2:32

I'm not too worried at all, tbh, especially bc he will be cheaper for both that and his down season. I'll gladly take the shot on him. I think he will remain a strong bat outside of Coors

Rian

2:32

Would you take Franmil or Tyler O’Niell over Grisham and Jimenez for the rest of the season?

Paul Sporer

2:33

Jimenez over all of em, but then O'Neill, Grisham, Franmil

2:34

Daniel Lynch in an AL-only keeper league... his future worth anything, or throw him back?

Paul Sporer

2:35

There is upside there. I would be open to keeping him at a $1-3 level

Thor

2:35

What does Mullins look like going forward? will he keep stealing bases if he's not chasing the 30/30 mark?

(Meant that Mullins question as a keeper question, BTW)

Paul Sporer

2:37

SBs are super fickle as we see year-in and year-out but I think he remains a 20+ threat and looks like a strong power-speed OFer slated to be taken in the 3rd-5th round range. I took him in the 3rd round of a 12-tm mock we've been doing w/some fantasy folks (discussed it on yesterday's pod)

Kate

2:37

How are you projecting Bryan Reynolds going into next year? This looks legit, but when I look under the hood I'm not seeing any major changes, more just incremental improvements.

Paul Sporer

2:38

I think that just shows how little last yr meant and with a full season, he'd have turned those numbers. I hope the 2-month blips to the high and low ends we've seen this year have reminded folks just how little last year meant. It was wildly overrated by the large majority of the fantasy community. Recency bias is a bitch and definitely hard to overcome when we're assessing players

Guest

2:38

Last I checked in the NFBC Main, there was a guy in first and third place overall - do both teams have similar rosters that he hit on, or did he just do an incredible job at balancing his roster with a variety of players?

Paul Sporer

2:40

That's Phil Dussault, arguably the best fantasy baseball player in the world right now and definitely tracking for the single best season ever. He's called the Robot because well, he's an absolute machine. Not only that, but he also has a team in 26th just for fun!

2 weeks left 🤞🤞🤞

Chip

2:41

Do you see LaMonte Wade as a potential everyday starter for SF next season if Belt leaves via free agency?

Paul Sporer

2:41

I think they've been pretty locked into platooning him. Maybe Ruf is his partner in crime?

Houzer

2:41

Should the Tigers pursue Eddie Rosario this offseason, even though Grossman and Badoo are here next year? If Candy sticks as their 3B, they need to find another power bat. Corner outfield seems like a good spot

Paul Sporer

2:43

Their only focus should be getting a premium SS from this class. Correa is a truly perfect fit but if not, then Story or Seager. It just fits so well to make that move given where this team is in their turnaround. I think Derek Hill might be showcasing himself for a starting role next year, too. Some great defense and the bat had some flashes. Unfortunately hurt now, but I liked a lot of what I saw from him.

Salty

2:44

Haha, yeah I guess the team in 26th is just the appetizer - good luck with your teams!

Paul Sporer

2:44

Thanks so much! Sitting 21st overall, so I'm beating one Phil team!

Kate

2:44

How much of Logan Webb's performance are you buying going forward into 2022? Grounders seem legit, but can he keep this level of Ks and control?

Paul Sporer

2:47

A lotttt of it. Remember, he was drawing early season attention for his improved changeup and after the slow start, he's been an absolute stud https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/10-watchlist-guys-to-start-the-season/

2:47

have you looked at you SP chart after the fact to see how your recommendations are working out?

Paul Sporer

2:47

Daily!

I hate when I have a huge miss

2:48

OK y'all, I gotta get going! Thanks so much for coming out! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Instagram (p_sporer). I’ll be streaming on Twitch later today and you can definitely come by and ask questions about fantasy there. Have a good one, y’all!
