Hi, Im wanting to try fantasy baseball this year. Can you recommend me some sites to try that aren't Yahoo, ESPN or CBS?

Paul Sporer

I'm a big NFBC fan and they've got price points now that make it easy to dip into the pool without breaking the bank. Check out their stuff: https://nfc.shgn.com/gamestyles/baseball

Can Soler come close to his monster season now that he's out of KC?

Paul Sporer

2:52

Justin and I had a discussion about him last year before he really turned it around and he sold me on buying low. I bring that up just to say that I think the rebound would've happened in KC, too, but they had no reason to keep him. Obv Kauffman isn't a great hitter's park, but his power plays ANYWHERE. I would love to see him land in a hitter-friendly spot, but regardless, he is a solid 30 HR bet

Is Sandoval's injury being overrated? From what I read about back stress fractures, they usually occur in younger athletes and typically heal with a few weeks of rest

Paul Sporer

2:53

That's kinda how I've felt about Patrick Sandoval and why I'm so high on him! I have him up in the 40s in my SP rankings

Was so excited to hear you mention Adam Engel on the pod, only for him to get eviscerated. Do you think there's hidden value given the fact his contact% and barrel% have improved substantially since his early career? Or is it just me?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Was this the episode w/Justin, Jason, and Jenny? Bc I like Engel so I wouldn't have dogged him in a discussion

2:56

(I'm listening to them discuss him now)

2:59

I disagree with Jason's pessimistic outlook. If Engel has a bead on the RF role, I'm intrigued. I think Jenny's advice to watchlist him in standard leagues is perfectly fair. I'd gladly draft him in Draft Champions 50-rounders, too

in a 12 team redraft 6x6 (+obp) would you rather have judge or yordan this year?

Paul Sporer

3:00

I lean Yordan, but they are basically next to each other. I know Yordan has the knee issues so his health isn't perfect, but I'll still take him over Judge mostly based on age. On talent, it's a true coin flip

Confidence in Mookie's health in 2022 and long-term? Sounds like he opted against surgery on the hip this offseason.

Paul Sporer

3:01

I'm still super bought in on him. I'll be monitoring his spring closely whenever that does happen, but until I get any reason to down him due to the hip, I'm in on his discounted price

Kate

3:01

Is Adbert Alzolay some HR/9 regression away from a nice breakout?

Paul Sporer

3:02

Yes. If his command continues to develop, there is some big time upside for the 27-yr old.

Minors

3:02

My league has weird rules and I could keep Alex Kirilloff or Andrew Vaughn in the minors and thus delay their service in our league. (I think this is gross IRL with real livelihoods but...) Who between the two do you feel better about playing time wise?

Paul Sporer

3:03

Ya I don't mind this in fantasy of course, but svc time manipulation def sucks IRL. I'm torn here as I really love both of these guys! I think I'm gonna lean Vaughn here w/Kirilloff's wrist being the tiebreaker here

3:04

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