Who will I want more next year — CES, Lawlar, or Keith?

Paul Sporer

2:31

Lawlar is the most dynamic as a power-speed infielder so I'd put him 1. CES is a power bat in a great park and what looks like will be a great lineup. I like Keith, I'm excited about Keith as a Tigers fan, but he's 3rd here. I think he can be Spencer Steerian, but in a much worse park & lineup.

Re: Ober

2:31

Ober's stuff+ isn't great, but his pitching+ on the same scale is above average

(Pitching+ takes longer to become accurate, but can still be useful)

Paul Sporer

2:33

Yeah these are fantastic metrics but they aren't one shot answers to who's best. Both worth using in your mix of who to roster and start as make our weekly or daily decisions

Pirates

2:33

Who you taking first in a dynasty FYPD?

Paul Sporer

2:36

I looove Skenes and think he can be a quick riser, but I still think I lean Crews. The pitching risk always looms over these decisions for me and unless the pitcher has a major edge over the top hitter, I'm going hitter so it's Crews for me

Elly

2:36

Is there a scenario where you would trade Elly in a dynasty right now?

Paul Sporer

2:39

Contending team that can get like 3 major contributors for the rest of this year plus some lower tier prospect. I'm all about going for titles and will Dombrowski it a bit at times to get it done.

Bob

2:39

When are your updated SP rankings coming out?

Paul Sporer

2:39

This week!

Mike Ford sneaky homer helper for second half in AL only? I don't really see anyone else standing in his way of ab's.

Paul Sporer

2:41

Yeah I'd be surprised if he maintained a 30% HR/FB rate, but he doesn't need a 40+ HR pace to retain AL Only viability, so I'm definitely down to ride this out with Michael Harrison Ford!

Kevin

2:42

Anything to suggest that Jesus Sanchez can start hitting the ball in the air more? Seems like he could be a great source of power if so.

Paul Sporer

2:45

The 53% GB rate is new so just getting back toward his 47% career mark coming into this year doesn't seem out of the question. He's still getting to a good bit of power even w/this many groundballs so you're right that he could be a true monster with a bit more lift in his profile!

Roger Kahn

2:45

Need to drop one of Bradish,Elfin,T Wells, Paxson or Elder Thanks

Paul Sporer

2:45

Daaamn that's a tough drop. I think you gotta map out the schedules on that one.

Gavin Williams or Andrew Abbott in 10 team points? Rostering both but need some outfield help on the wire. Dealing with McClanhan and Greene on the IL

Paul Sporer

2:51

Abbott is absolutely rolling of late and while I believe there will be more volatility there, he's my choice between these two. His swing-and-miss stuff offers more of a game-changing profile, especially in shallower leagues where you're trying to spike that upside because there's always options on the wire

In Contention

2:51

What’s the best way to make a move in BA?

Paul Sporer

2:51

Addressing multiple spots and patience

2:53

Just getting Luis Arraez likely won't turn things around that much unless you're near the bottom of a jam packed standings situation. And the patience comes in not really worry about the day-to-day volatility. You still want to check at the end of the week and see if you're moving forward, but you have to give replacements some time. It can be really counterproductive to chase hot streaks to fix AVG because you can keep catching the comedown and end up hurting your AVG more

equist

2:54

I've replaced McClanahan with K. Crawford. Should I swing with him or would you get C. Sanchez instead?

Paul Sporer

2:57

Ooh, a couple of faves for me. Slight lean for Sanchez there. Both have big time upside in the 2H

Salty

2:57

Would you target Kershaw in a win-now mode, or does the shoulder scare you off? Morton would be a possible alternative.

Paul Sporer

2:58

I come into the season expecting an IL stint or 2 from Kershaw so I'm not scared off by one right ahead of the All Star break. I'd definitely try to sneak a discount if I'm going for it!

Kevin

3:00

Patrick Bailey good enough to be relevant in a 9-team 1-C league in the 2H? 500 SLG so far looks nice.

Paul Sporer

3:00

I love what he's doing, I'm OK rolling with him in that format. There'll always be someone to turn to if he flames out

The Rick

3:01

Stash Holliday in a keeper? Too early?

Paul Sporer

3:03

Probably too early, yeah. Would 100% depend on league size and keeper count, but in leagues where he's available, it likely makes sense

Kyle

3:03

Did you disable the emoji reactions on purpose?

Paul Sporer

3:03

Yeah, lol... not sure what that person's purpose was spamming it

Craig

3:03

I was offered Vlad for Bryce Miller, Kyle Wright, Urquidy, and Santander in a dynasty league. Should I take it

Paul Sporer

3:04

Yes, I would

Future Teller

3:04

Edouard Julien will end the year playing everyday? platooning? back in minors?

Paul Sporer

3:05

Probably platooning, though I'm not sure I agree w/Minnesota on that

Phillips/Puk

3:05

Which reliever is best bet for 2024?

Paul Sporer

3:06

Puk is the better bet to be a full on closer IMO

3:07

Alright y'all I gotta get back to work on the SP rankings. 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!
