No, these are never meant to be for the rest of the season for exactly reasons like this. We're going to get so much more info and I'm going to post multiple more sets of rankings so it just doesn't make sense for me to try and nail my thoughts for the remainder of the year. They are 4-6 wk window rankings. I usually don't get too worried about potential IP mgmt, either. Bc it's so inexact, I find the overplanning to be counterproductive. I'll take what I get from Sevvy and worry about IP stuff down the line

How are you feeling about Glasnow coming off TJ for next year? I'm trying to trade for him in my keeper, as his value is almost FA money.

Paul Sporer

2:55

I'm not a fan of TJ returners their first year back in most cases with rare exceptions like JV this year. Glasnow and his health profile plus the general caution of the Rays with pitchers will keep me pretty far from Glasnow next year. Keeper is different and a buy low at this juncture makes some sense w/the big picture in mind. Just keep expectations tempered and focus more on the 2024 season

Can I change my strikeout issues this year? Or is it a next year thing?

Paul Sporer

2:57

It's an always kind of thing, but I'm not sure he will make significant strides in that realm anytime soon given his size and power approach. Power guys in general have higher K rates but then you throw in his 6'7 stature that could open some extra holes for pitchers to attack. That said, his talent and athleticism are so robust that he can likely outrun the Ks in fantasy terms w/his pwr & spd

Will Lynn regain his top 15 SP status by the end of July?

Paul Sporer

2:58

i'd be very surprised if he did it that quickly. I'm not sure it's a great bet for this year at this point

Thanks for doing these chats, don't make it in always but always read them after

Paul Sporer

2:59

Thank you so much! I only recently learned that a decent pocket of ppl read them afterwards and that was really cool to learn! Thanks if you're a non-live reader and of course huge thanks to those who take the time to come out as well. I know not everyone can come out on a weekday, but definitely appreciate all who engage w/the chat!

Can Lodolo be a viable streamer at home?

Paul Sporer

3:08

He definitely has the talent to survive Cincy because of his ability to generate whiffs! There are going to be ups and downs in the development process, but the upside is massive

Gallo

Gallo a buy low in OBP league or is he toast without the beard?

Paul Sporer

3:11

Ehhh, I'm not that hopeful. The power outage is definitely surprising but the rest of it is in the range of outcomes. I don't think I'm that interested in buying

I don't understand your Gausman rank at SP9. He's at SP32 on the Razzball player rater and I don't see a reason why his performance to date would improve significantly to change that.

Paul Sporer

3:15

That's kind of a flawed way to look at though, right? Because under that, you then believe that Tyler Wells, Nick Pivetta, Tyler Anderson, Martin Perez, Miles Mikolas, Cristian Javier, Nestor Cortes, and Spencer Strider are all going to stay above him and I doubt you actually believe that with the large majority of those names. Plus, a ranking isn't a perfect 1:1 prediction of where they are going to finish. That's an impossible task. It's more if I'm choosing pitchers from here forward, I'm eyeing Gausman as a Top 10 pick because of skills, track record, and probability of being great

Andrew

Paul, why is Torkelson bad?

Paul Sporer

3:16

I touched on him earlier and obviously we've been going a while so I know not everyone has seen every Q thus far. Just do a quick Ctrl-F on Tork for my thoughts

3:17

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