Think Joey Meneses is a legit MLB hitter? O/U 400 PA and .330 wOBA in 2023?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Probably not, tbh. This year's Frank Schwindel is just too easy a comparison right down to my low expectations for next year. I think there is some punch to the bat, but I don't think they carve out a gtd 400 PA for the 31 yr old. The upside is that he won't be expensive. In fact, might even be cheaper than Schwindel bc of how poorly that went this year, so while I don't have super high hopes for him, he likely can't hurt you too much if you want to invest for 2023

Mess in the kitchen? You have a dog Paul, put Char to work on cleanup!

Paul Sporer

It was soup!! She got some of it, but I thought it'd be too hot for her to lap it all up lol

With the change in shifting rules, do you think that will hinder high GB% pitchers, with more of those potentially finding holes now?

Paul Sporer

2:20

Not necessarily. It will still come down to the defense behind them in a lot of cases. Maybe a righty GBer who has been pretty successful vL could be seen as a regression candidate w/those extra 1Bs going through, but I'm not making wholesale changes to anything bc of the shift ban just yet

Gurriel (TOR) about to activated. Must drop someone. Drop Gurriel, Pham, Carroll? Redraft format. SBs and OBP are tightest categories.

Paul Sporer

2:23

I think I'd dump Pham. Just hasn't done much in Boston and they just don't run (26th in SBs).

I can keep Judge for $40 in a 12 team std roto league with 5 keeps per team (+$4 per keeper every year for 5yr, bought Judge for $36 this year). I sold the farm this summer trying to win, so I have mostly just mediocre keeper options left...Judge worth the keep?

Paul Sporer

2:24

Yes, he'd go for like $55-60 I'd imagine, if not more depending on where your auction inflation sits

Jono

2:24

What kind of soup??

Paul Sporer

2:24

Just some standard chicken noodle, nothing too crazy

Not Frank

2:24

Frank Zinkie had a piece out on Yahoo 2 days ago that was great and worth a read. His thoughts on the changes going into effect next year are very interesting. It's called Baseball Lessons Learned...

Fred* and he's the man!

No question. I just want to express my frustration at having to start Webb and Darvish in Colorado during the first round of the playoffs.

Paul Sporer

2:26

Painnn. The Rodon folks had to almost be happy about the blister pushing him out of Coors and to a game v. ARI (they can't hit vL)

Sean

2:26

Jake mccarthy starting to get figured out by pitchers? Natural regression? Would you scoop back up for next week?

Paul Sporer

2:31

Mostly regression, plus 6 lefties in the L10. While they only 5 gms next week, it is slated to be all righties so yes I'd get him back

Pedro

2:31

I like Singer a lot also. Would you keep him at $13 in an AL only 5 by 5 league? Thanks

Paul Sporer

2:32

I would, yes!

Mike

2:32

Surprised you dont have may going in 10s in your column today and below some other lesser names. Assuming in part due to ARI being tough v R recently and may’s recent hiccups?

Paul Sporer

2:33

The former for sure. Just wanted to leave it open that he could be sat if you're protecting (and that includes 12s or 15s, too, but I usually leave the 10 open to connote "hey this isn't CRAZY MUSTTTT START") so that was my aim w/May! By & large I'm taking the shot, but if a bomb (5+ ER) would kill you, you can certainly pass

Mia

2:33

I'm in the race for the roto championship in my 15 teamer. I spend WAY too much time worrying that someone I drop can be picked up by a team I'm dueling and help them in a cat or two. The mental chess of Roto is...a lot of fun

Paul Sporer

2:34

I totally hear that!! Last year when I was securing my Main Event title and this year scrapping and fighting for a money spot have been the most intense fantasy baseballing I've ever done!!! Good luck!

Bello seems to have found some success in his last 3-4 starts. Does he become a sneaky sleeper or is it too loud for his price?

Paul Sporer

2:35

No I think he will hold legit sleeper status. It wasn't too showy to put him in that "wide awake sleeper" range which I made up to just mean someone who is on every sleeper list & thus not really a sleeper! I think Bello will have his proponents, but not be endlessly discussed this offseason

2:36

OK y'all, I gotta get going! Thanks so much for coming out! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Instagram (p_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!
