Happy Opening Day Eve, y'all!!!

Jason

1:30

First, thank you so much for doing this. Really appreciate you! Secondly, who do you think has a better shot at everyday 1B at bats in KC this year, Pratto or Vinnie?

Paul Sporer

1:31

I really like Vinnie P, but I'd probably lean toward Pratto especially bc he's on the 40

Georgia

1:31

You’re a Tigers fan, you concerned about Fulmer’s spring velocity? Should I move on to another save spec quickly before he kills my ratios for a week or two?

Paul Sporer

1:33

Not particularly worried, no. They aren't limiting him or showing any concern about his health due to it so I think it's just spring ramp up

PNW

1:33

The Mariners Will Make The Playoffs... 1-10

pat burrell's ghost

1:33

dear paul! this is my staff in a 12 team redraft 6x6 (+obp + holds) sp: bieber / ray / ohtani / gallen / severino / carrasco IL: sale / clevinger rp: kimbrel / jansen / graveman / lamet / s dominguez / j hicks IL: pomeranz / karinchak. once clevinger's on the IL, i'm trying to pick between lodolo and gonsolin for the spot. i also have no idea if clevinger is even worth holding onto this year, feelings about him as a person aside. anyway: please, god, help: gonsolin or lodolo? (24 man rosters)

Paul Sporer

1:35

While I am excited about Lodolo making the team, I still prefer Gonsolin to him. I think Gonsolin gets back on track this year

pat burrell's ghost

also happy opening day eve to you as well and thank you for your service

The excitement is nauseating

Paul Sporer

1:37

Agreed. The butterflies of excitement get to be so much that I just start vomiting w/excitement

Forest

1:38

Is Stras worth a stash on 12 tm? Do you think he's going to start the season on the IL?

Paul Sporer

1:38

He should start on the IL and I'd only stash him if I have 3+ IL spots

Jacob

1:38

Is the bullpen chart coming back and if so when can we expect to see it?

Paul Sporer

1:39

Yes, the Bullpen Report will be back this year. I don't know 100%, but I'd think next week will see it get going. I will ask Jason for sure

Mike Clevinger

1:39

At what point in the season can I throw 6-7 innings per game?

Paul Sporer

1:39

Maaaaaaaybe in the summer?

Matt Chapman

1:39

Will my move to Toronto be as great as Donaldson’s and Semien’s?

Paul Sporer

1:39

Not quite as great but I'm very excited about him moving to Toronto

Adam

1:40

Thoughts on Aaron Ashby and Mackenzie Gore? Does it seem mostly likely that they both end up in a swing role splitting time as spot starter and multi inning reliever?

Paul Sporer

1:42

I definitely see Ashby starting in a relief role and being the first one once they need an SP, though he will likely be a 3-4 IP kinda guy to start. Gore should go to AAA w/the Manaea trade so he can stay on rotation, but if he maintains his spring gains, he will be up relatively soon

PNW

1:42

i think Dozier will surprise in KC

Paul Sporer

1:44

I can see that. If healthy, he should definitely improve upon his ugly '21.

Tim

1:44

Dumb (but genuine!) question: With nothing but your fantasy managerial experience to rely on, how much worse would you be at running the Rockies than current management? COULD it be worse?

Paul Sporer

1:46

If it was JUUUST me, it'd probably be pretty bad despite the 1000s of ours I've put into Out of the Park Baseball & fantasy baseball, but I do think I could assemble a front office team that would make better decisions than a lot of the ones the recent COL regimes have

Kyle

1:46

Can you ask Justin to do a weekly chat on FG?

Paul Sporer

1:46

Stay tuned! Might not be the only added fantasy chat coming this season, but Justin will be joining the rotation!

Little Ricky

1:47

Jeremy Peña or Bryson Stott rest of season (6 cat obp)?

Paul Sporer

1:51

They are close, but w/the OBP added, I'm going to lean Stott.

Ken

1:51

Where are you at on Ha-Seong and Keston heading into this season? You grabbing either in 12-teamers?

Paul Sporer

1:52

I am taking Kim in 12-teamers but putting Hiura on the watchlist more so than adding him. I like that he hit well in spring, but it still came w/a 33% K rate so he didn't really improve on his biggest issue

James

1:52

When is your best guess Grayson Rodriguez gets the mlb call? is he worth a stash in 12-15 team mixed roto?

Paul Sporer

1:52

I'm reluctant to stash him in a redraft as I don't see him up until summer. He has amazing talent and could be a summer gem, but unless I had a specific minors spot or deep reserve roster, I don't think it's worth holding for 2+ mos.

Thunder Gun Express

1:53

If you were 2B/SS deprived, and had Manoah, Cole, Gausman, Urias, and Gray on your team, would any of those be enough for Semien?

Paul Sporer

1:53

The non-Cole/Urias ones are perfectly fair for Semien

John Spivey

1:53

What % of FAAB is Josh Lowe going to command tonight?

Paul Sporer

1:54

Depends on league size. 15-teamers, I'd think 15-20%. 10s/12s I'd be closer to 5-10% depending on need. I really like Lowe, but he has some big swing-and-miss that could keep his AVG very low

Trev

1:54

NFBC league, you putting Hunter Greene in for his Sunday start or a reliever like P. Johnson, who may or may not see a save opp.
