Chances that Severino rebounds? What do you think his price range is in a standard ottoneu points league?

Paul Sporer

1:54

I think there is a decent chance and he's being overlooked. He finished the season on the field and I always love that with injury guys even if it's just a few innings like Syndergaard and Sevvy.

12team H2H dynasty league, would you trade Robbie Ray for Arendon or Riley?

Paul Sporer

1:58

I'd do it for either. Arenado probably better this year, but not so much that Riley isn't the pick in a dynasty league

Sampson

1:58

Our league uses AVG Against as an additional pitching category .. are there any SP you would sink in rankings because of it?

Paul Sporer

2:00

Ones with bad defenses behind 'em, especially if they don't have great strikeout rates. I don't have names off the top but that's mostly bc teams are incomplete thanks to the stupid lockout

Joe

2:02

What does a full year of Tyler O'Neill look like? Are we facing a serious regression from 2021?

Paul Sporer

2:03

I've spent a lot of time on O'Neill this offseason so while it is a perfectly fair questions, I'll just direct you here https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/5-players-im-removing-from-my-draft-boar...

Insert Witty Name Here

Weekly Show question: do you use the guess pitch feature? I prefer to have a more natural game and I turn it off, wondering if that’s why it’s hard for me to connect with opponents often.

Paul Sporer

2:03

No no I don't have it on. I don't think you can have it on for online play tbh

For a last keeper spot (no salaries) on a contender in a format that favors power hitters and pitcher WHIP: Votto as UT, or Means as ~8th best SP.

Paul Sporer

2:04

I love Votto and think he can continue this newfound power, but I'd still pick Means with your setup. I feel like Votto is easier to get back or get someone equal in draft

RayRay

2:04

For this year, Vidal Brujan, Josh Lowe or Xavier Edwards for most ABs?

Paul Sporer

2:05

Gahhhh I wantttt it to be Brujan, but I'm gonna say Lowe. I still think they find a way to move Kiermaier after the lockout and then give Lowe a shot. Brujan likely needs something ELSE in addition to a KK trade to find premium playing time

Banging Scheme

2:05

Jeremy Pena or Amed Rosario for this year, assuming Houston goes with Pena at SS?

Paul Sporer

2:05

I'd go Rosario

Joe

2:07

2 Keepers to Choose - O'Neill, Jazz, Urias, India, Alonso, Riley

Paul Sporer

2:07

Without any other context, I'd go Urias/Alonso

John

2:07

Have you ever tried a fantasy draft using players and their stats from an already completed season where the final standings are determined as soon as the draft is completed? If so, was it any fun?

Paul Sporer

2:09

During the pandemic, Ron Shandler ran retro leagues when we did just this and it was SOOOO fun!!! It's a completely different challenge, not particularly easy, but GOBSSS of fun. Todd Zola made an amazing spreadsheet for it and if you're interested in running such a league with friends, I'd reach out to him! https://twitter.com/ToddZola

A Tribe Called Kipnis

2:09

This is likely only of interest to OBP leagues, but Isaac Paredes still gets halfway decent projections. Any chance he could play his way into relevance?

Paul Sporer

2:12

Yeah Paredes' plate skills are the main draw here and I wouldn't rule out the 23-year-old getting a real shot, though he's unlikely to win a job out of spring so I'd only draft him in super deep formats

Wario

2:12

I'ma Wario, I'ma gonna win!

Paul Sporer

2:12

Wario and Waluigi dominating life

David

2:12

You worried at all of Edman's speed since he only stole 2 in 2020?

Paul Sporer

2:13

Not at all. I actually broke down his CS from '20 and found they weren't really anything to be afraid and it's why I stayed so bought in for '21. https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/tommy-edmans-failed-sb-attempts

Bob

2:13

Do you ever dream about slow pitch softball? I do about once a week when I am not playing

Paul Sporer

2:14

I used to, especially when I played. I don't have a team anymore bc our core all moved away

Bret

2:14

What are you penciling in as far as innings for Rodon in terms of innings

Paul Sporer

2:14

130ish

Sugar

2:14

Will Trout ever steal 20+ again ?

Paul Sporer

2:14

If he's fully healthy, yes

Or at least approaches it and if he can even get back into the high-teens, it'd be huge

Sugar

2:14

Do you still have faith in Kelenic ?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Oh for sure! Not deterred at all by his debut

Steve

2:15

Gleyber Torres ($7) for Verdugo ($11), fair deal? in dynasty

Paul Sporer

2:15

Yes it is

Jim S.

2:15

AL only with same auction price- Sal Perez for this season only or Adley for the next 3 seasons?

Paul Sporer

2:17

Wait what is that price? That seems like Perez is either pretty cheap or Adley is too much? I'm inclined to go for the win in '22 and take Sal

Tom Mcneel

2:17

Any worry with Baz being on an innings limit?
