Yes, I can really only project 350-400 PA for him given his health, but they will likely be a good 350-400 PA

How would you rank the long term dynasty value of Volpe, Mayer, and Peraza?

Paul Sporer

1:50

Probably Mayer, Volpe, Peraza for me

Optimist

Give me one SP in the top ~60 most likely to outperform his rank by 30 spots...

Paul Sporer

Luis Patiño, Joe Ryan, Patrick Sandoval

In a dynasty context (with K/9 as extra cat) would you trade now to acquire Kershaw? The risk is enormous, but if I waited until he was throwing/seemed healthy, the price would jump way up.

Paul Sporer

1:52

If you believe, yes, buy now. Older pitchers are already treated like lepers in dynasty leagues so throw in an injury history looming over him and Kershaw is likely very cheap to acquire

Tyrone Taylor worth keeping for $3 or throw back and hope for $1?

Paul Sporer

1:53

Probably cutting and trying to get back for $1. League type matters, too, but it'd have to be an NL Only to consider keeping Taylor IMO or a very deep mixer

Does Riley Greene strike you as another Andre Eithier? Not that it’s a bad thing but the approach and swing are eerily similar.

Paul Sporer

1:54

I hadn't made that connection, but ya that isn't bad at all. That'd be great if he had that kind of career

What are your thoughts about George Valera possibly getting significant time in the Guardians' OF this year? What do you think he can do in '22 and beyond?

Paul Sporer

1:57

It's not impossible, but I'd say unlikely. The 21 yr old will likely play some more at Double-A and he'd have to just stand out at both AA and AAA to get a call this yr. Now maybe 10 yrs ago, I'd have said NO SHOT he can make it this yr based on how players were promoted, but he is at least on the radar in today's gm, though a definite longshot

With your overall success last year (congrats), what is your plan for this year - stick to last year's script or do you plan to make any general changes to draft prep/strategy for 2022 (without giving too much away)?

Paul Sporer

1:59

Thank you! I'm not making any sweeping changes in terms of the preparation as I feel that was the strongest part of my season last year so I will continue to focus on player pool knowledge and then I do have some in-season things I will be improving, adding to, tweaking to hopefully have another strong season

Speaking of Tylor - have read suggestions the Mets should make a play for Boyd - he would seem like a good pitcher for some team to speculate on. Any sense where he may end up, and if the Mets did sign him, would he be a candidate for the rotation, or more likely a AAA stash since he should come cheap?

Paul Sporer

2:00

Not sure where he will end up, but I could see the Mets for Boyd or a Boyd-like substance which of course would hurt Megill in the short-term, but there is plenty of risk in their rotation such that Megill will get his innings

How would you recommend figuring out innings cap limits? I’m in a shallow ten team league that starts 3 SP, 2 RP, and 3 P (usually filled with closers).

Paul Sporer

2:03

I think a lot of leagues have been going around the 900 IP range at this point given how SP innings are evaporating

OK y'all, gotta be a tight hour this week, but I'll be back next week with some time to go beyond the normal hour! 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!
