will the real yelich stand up? who is this version we are seeing?!

Paul Sporer

1:50

I'd imagine it's all tied to healthy. The better he feels, the better he plays!

I believe in healthy Yelich as a plus to plus-plus bat.

Kalines Ghost

1:50

Is the dream already over for K Wright?

Paul Sporer

1:50

Because of one bad start? Tough crowd.

John

1:50

bader or pham in 12 team mixed roto?

Paul Sporer

1:51

I lean Bader. He's a younger, healthier Pham

Philly

1:51

In a vacuum, Megill or Ty France? Or are they about equal?

Paul Sporer

1:53

I think they are about equal to me, yes.

Armadillofury

1:54

Ranger Suarez got a late start to spring training due to visa issues so I'm willing to buy he might be coming around to his true self

Paul Sporer

1:54

Yeah I don't want to give up on him

Nails

1:54

Would you burn #1 waiver priority in AL only on Josh Naylor? someone dropped him right before Tuesday's first pitch

Paul Sporer

1:54

I would indeed, yes

Kalines Ghost

1:54

re Wright, start before that may have been "Quality" but 9 hits and only 3 Ks suggest it was more Luck Dragon-y

Paul Sporer

1:57

Yeah I dunno, it was at a 21-10 tm and he steadied pretty well after a rough 1st. I think this is just what regression looks like. I know none of us expected 1.74 ERA, so the return includes some meh or outright stinky starts like yesterday

Boris

1:57

Give up on Matz? Can pickup Montgomery, Blackburn, Winder

Paul Sporer

1:57

Not giving up on Matz overall, but for any of those 3, it's fine to me

Guest

1:57

Need to drop one bench bat j. Miranda, or Pham

Paul Sporer

1:57

I'd drop Miranda between 'em

Barry

1:57

Is Dany Jimenez the closer now?

Paul Sporer

1:58

At least partially. Will be a lot of eyes on their next SV opp. This is why I wasn't dropping Jimenez even upon Trivino's return. I figured Trivino wouldn't lose his job to injury, but he absolutely can to underperformance

Somewhere Warm

1:58

How many years will the "Aaron Nola is unlucky" narrative continue to be a thing? At some point, isn't he just his surface stats?

Paul Sporer

1:59

They have historically bad defenses year in, year out, why ignore that aspect?

G Money

2:00

In a points league, Giolito for Story, what side do you want?

Paul Sporer

2:00

I lean Gio

Chone of the Dead

2:00

Hey Paul, loving Boxcore Bits this year, thanks as always for the chat. 10-team h2h points, -1 for Ks. How would you rank Rowdy Tellez, Jared Walsh, and Josh Naylor at the 1b position?

Paul Sporer

2:00

Thanks so much. Today's out here shortly! I'd go Naylor, Tellez, Walsh - I like all 3, too

Jon

2:01

Devers for Woodruff? Fair/close enough? Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

2:01

Yes, totally fair. Under the hood looks pretty good for Woodruff to me. I don't see anything worth majorly worrying about. He has had 3 gems and 3 duds. The 3 duds hold more weight on his ratios and make him look worse than he's been. I'm a full buy on him

Nick

2:01

What do you think of Kirby?

Paul Sporer

2:02

Loved his debut. Can't wait to see him in Citi v. the Mets. His FAAB prices this weekend will be nuts if he pops off again!

Guest

2:02

H2H OBP keeper.. my Nola/Tellez/Detmers for his Webb/Franmil/Luzardo

Paul Sporer

2:02

That's pretty fair. I don't have a strong lean, but would nudge toward Webb side

Minnesotan

2:02

When Max Muncy is in the batters box is he looking to draw a walk or is he looking to drive the ball? I drafted him for the later but almost always seeing the former.

Paul Sporer

2:04

Was discussing this on a recent pod and definitely think there is a level of passivity there that is driving that BB rate sky-high. I'm left wondering if the elbow is ailing and he's just trying to grind it out best he can. I don't KNOW, btw, this is pure speculation, but I see similar passivity in search of a walk and it's hard not to link it to the elbow

Dungeon Master

2:04

where are you at on Kyle Bradish? top 50 arm ROS possibly?

Paul Sporer

2:07

Maaaaybe if the Ks hold after last night's surge. I don't think he'll quite be that high on my next update, but I'm definitely keyed in on him. Alex Fast put him on my radar in his first start w/a video of his 1st MLB K. I thought based on the nastiness of that K, that he would've ended up w/like 5-6 Ks in his opener. I was stunned to learn it was just 2 when I checked boxscores that night and then 3 in his next outing. But his MiLB SwStr rates were strong and we finally saw it on display last night. In today's landscape, we have to act quickly on standout starts like that and I'm inclined to go for someone like this, espec. w/a 2-step at home next week

Dan

2:07

Who do you like more the rest of the year? Joe Ryan or Kirby?

Paul Sporer

2:08

I'm sticking with Ryan. 2 weird gms w/the big BB output. I didn't get to see yesterday's, but it's weird how he just loses it for a random gm here and there and then walks no one in the other outings. No shame in getting ripped by HOU, either.

Big Joey

2:08

Trade France and Kershaw for Freeman?
