Hello everyone!! Welcome to my chat!

What are your thoughts on Cedric Mullins this year? Do you think last year was fluky or can he put up similar numbers again? Is his adp to high or about right?

Paul Sporer

1:07

I really like him! There is a lot of believability in what he did, though it is definitely a buy-high off a career year which is always worrisome. About the only thing you can truly say about him is that there's little track record, but I don't think that alone is enough to move away from him

Hi Paul, I'm trying to decide which 2 of the 3 to keep this year. deGrom, G Cole or C Burnes. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:10

I think you gotta go Cole and Burnes w/deGrom's health being the tiebreaker

Vince

Hi! I’m in 12-team Roto H2H with 1 UT spot, I have both Olson and Goldschmidt from last year at good value. Although keeping both limit my roster flexibility, I only see Riley and O’Neil likely comparable bats available to draft. Would you keep both? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:14

That's tough, but I think I would. Either of em are just too good to throw back

Hey Paul. Loved the 1,000th episode! 10 team H2H categories. I gotta keep 4 out of this group, who are you picking? J. Ram, Trea Turner, Wander, Mullins, Gerrit Cole, and Woodruff. Thank you!

Paul Sporer

1:16

J.Ram, T.Turner, Wander, and a pitcher (dealer's choice, though I have Cole ranked higher). Mullins' speed has less value in H2H

In my new dynasty draft of worst commissioners in sports I took Manfred 1.1, how'd I do?

Paul Sporer

1:17

Dominated! He has surpassed Bettman and Goddell

Matt

1:18

Didn't own Teoscar last year so my head spun when I saw his numbers, saw he went in the 2nd rd in a mock, why him over the OF like Eloy, Castellanos, etc?

Paul Sporer

1:20

He made some big gains last year and has a bit of speed over the 2 of them specifically. I've got the 3 of 'em super tight in my rankings (EJ 15, TH 16, NC 19) so I can go either way w/em

Robby L

1:20

Wander Franco or Trea Turner in long term H2H keeper league?

Paul Sporer

1:20

Still Trea Turner for me

Bill

1:20

You ever wonder if these chats are like 10 different people using different names?

Paul Sporer

1:20

I do NOWWWW

Matt

1:21

My favorite number is 9 cus Matt Williams and my name is the same. You have a favorite number?

Paul Sporer

1:21

I'm basic as hell, it's 24 and it's for my birthday but I've always loved it

Greg

1:21

Can you ask Justin why he never engages in the comments on his articles?

Paul Sporer

1:21

I will ask, yes

Allen

1:22

Saw you at AFL a few years ago but was too chicken to say hi, post COVID, can I say what's up

Paul Sporer

1:23

Def come up this year if you make it out!!! I'm just regular ol' dude

Kate

1:23

Brian Anderson a solid bounceback candidate after an injury ravaged 2021? Solid seasons in both 2019 and 2020 and the struggles last year would appear to be pretty clearly connected to injuries to some important body parts (oblique, shoulder). 20 HR, 5 SBs and a .330 - .340 OBP seem reasonable?

Paul Sporer

1:27

Yesss I totally buy that. I love BA (a lot of it is his being really good in MLB The Show for some reason lol) and the washed out year was rough but now the market has just given up on him so it's an easy buy back for me

Barry Bonds

I am a HOF and eff writers

Paul Sporer

10000000%

I was out on Alec Bohm at his price last year and that worked out, but now that he's going 150 picks later, do you see upside there still to warrant taking a shot? Still hits the ball hard but has ground ball rates that would make pre-break out Yelich blush. PT/opportunity still seems like it's there, just not sure the upside is

Paul Sporer

1:29

Yes I do see value in buying back here. Classic post-hype/buy-low guy of a premium prospect. ADP of 290 since January 1st, great price for the talent!

Josh

1:30

Tyler Stephenson and Keibert Ruiz -- both have similar ADP and projections. I am impressed by the contact skills of each, but wish they hit the ball harder. Which do you prefer for next season and why? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

1:35

Big fan of both!!! Got Stephenson 6th and Ruiz 8th. I really see power development coming from Stephenson despite it not being evident in his line (.146 ISO). Ruiz's power isn't at the same level, IMO, either in a game or raw sense, but his contact rate is soooo great

Kate

1:36

How do you feel about Kluber heading into this year? I feel pretty confident the Rays will figure out how to get him pitching well, but I'm less convinced they're going to let him go deep enough to matter a ton. Does the fact that he's only on a one-year deal mean they'll loosen the reins a bit? Someone needs to pitch some bulk innings for them, right?

Paul Sporer

1:42

Skills were still there and I hear you re: feeling good about TB doing something with him, but I see a lot of <5 IP starts and some fantasy frustration

Henry

1:43

Will Semien's expected stats ever show up in his real numbers or will it be an improvement in his expected stats to match his real numbers?

Paul Sporer

1:46

I'm desperately afraid of the move to Texas. That stadium is hell on hitters and I'm fading Semien & Seager because of it

Jon Gray howeverrrrrr

Jeff

1:46

Who will have a better year, Miles Mikolas or Dakota Hudson?

Paul Sporer

1:52

Pardon me, got a phone call

1:53

I'll lean Mikolas, but I'm open to rostering either given that insane defense

Guest

Just moved $15 Montas for $13 B. Lowe. I developed a new ranking methodolgy, and it has them within 5 of each other. Think that's a pretty fair swap (assuming the needs line up)?
