Paul Sporer

Can't cut him, but if someone will take him for Wander, I'd be down. Probably not a great time to trade him, though, value is lowest it's been in sooo long

Justin

1:22

Are L Urias or Bae worth keeping in a dynasty league?

Paul Sporer

1:22

Fringe, probably better prospects to take a shot on

Rodon

1:22

What would you do with Rodon? Going to be tough to trade him even at a cost of $16 next year. Any underlying metrics that suggest a glimmer of hope as he works his way back? Thanks

Paul Sporer

1:23

I'm being patient. It's still early. Worth reserving, but too good to cut off 3 bad starts in a 5-start run

1:23

Hi Paul! Thoughts on Rodon ROS? Can he find his touch enough to produce like an Ace down the stretch? Thx sir

Paul Sporer

1:24

Meant to post both Rodon Qs back to back before answering... my b

Middle Men

1:24

Gleyber, Semien, or Altuve (OBP league)?

Paul Sporer

1:24

Semien

Heaney

1:24

I chickened out at the last minute and sat Heaney yesterday. Gets Oakland next. Is he gaining trustworthiness?

Paul Sporer

1:24

Gotta go v. OAK. Any SP you have that can't start v. OAK should be cut

Catcher

1:26

Any one or two favorite catchers for AL OBP: Langeliers, Kirk, Varsho, Salvy, Melendez, Bethancourt?

Paul Sporer

1:27

Varsho, Perez, Kirk, Langeliers, Kirk, Melendez, Bethancourt

Justin

1:27

What are your thoughts on Luis Medina? He has looked good lately but does not really seem to have any prospect hype.

Paul Sporer

1:31

Slider surge is impressive, netting a strong 27 Ks in 22 IP over his L4 outings (22) IP including a home-and-home with Boston, trip to Coors, and home v. HOU. Love the arm and there is upside, but Win probability is virtually nonexistent and I still worry about the walks keeping the WHIP up. I can see taking a shot on the occasional stream or acquiring in dynasty, but it's hard to get much out of OAK SPs even when they're pitching well

Jon

1:32

Singer has 19 K's in his last 2 starts, has there been a change in his pitch mix? What SP could I get for Trae Turner that has a double digit K rate?

Paul Sporer

1:35

Also a slider surge! Usage up 7 pts to 49% as well as a 3 pt jump in changeup usage, all coming from that ugly fastball

Mr. Freeze

1:37

Al OBP. Could you rank these keepers: Kwan ($1), Josh Lowe ($10), Duran ($12)?

Paul Sporer

1:38

Lowe, Kwan, Duran (Duran's been great, but not 11 bucks more than Kwan). Lowe is a power-speed gamechanger in AL, so he's easily #1

Trey

1:39

Grade the 2 trades I made today (10 team 5x5 OPS instead of avg). Sent: Justin Turner, Received: Pablo Lopez. Sent: EDLC and Civale, Received: Verlander and Stanton

Paul Sporer

1:39

Big infusion of pitching! As long as you can eat the SB loss from EDLC, I can get behind the moves

Guest

1:40

Will Tyler Stephenson retain catcher eligibility next year? Thanks

Paul Sporer

1:40

You mean 20+ games in 2024 so he's eligible in 2025?

Bc he's already qualified for 2024

Hey Paul, just curious to hear your breakdown of you finding out that E-Rod exercised his no trade clause live with PitcherList and how it compares to Lisa breaking Ralph Wiggums heart live on television.

Paul Sporer

1:45

lolololol I respect E-Rod's decision, but man that was tough! Bart Simpson can def do a frame by frame breakdown of my heart breaking

Jonny J

1:45

How do you value Esteruy Ruiz in a dynasty OBP league

Paul Sporer

1:46

Modestly... just not a huge fan of the one-note speedsters, especially long-term

Packages

1:47

I've got a trade tee'd up but am waiting to hear a response to a better offer with another manager. Any advice on how long you wait? I've got a zero on the roster until I execute this move...

Paul Sporer

1:47

I'd be wanting to act pretty quickly, tbh. Not gonna nag the other manager or anything, but I'd have some urgency

Stringer Bell

1:47

Which player on a new team do you like more ROS? Pham or Burger?

Paul Sporer

1:47

Pham

Farhandrew Zaidman

1:48

Muncy's fully healthy, rocking a sub .200 BA but an OPS+ of 118. Is this just sorta who he is?

Paul Sporer

1:50

I still think he's better than the .182 BABIP we're seeing, but the HR-R-RBI are all there so even if he's closer to this BABIP & AVG than his career .248 and .226 in those categories, he's rosterable in tons of spots

I can see a point relatively soon where a team in a 10- or 12-teamer is power loaded but desperately needs to start chasing AVG so they have to cut Muncy if they can't trade him, but there'll be someone in virtually any league that can use the power production

Kevin

1:51

Thoughts on Luis Urias in Boston? Think he can contribute meaningful fantasy value down the stretch?

Paul Sporer

1:52

Is he coming up soon? Tough part is NONE of Chang, Arroyo, Reyes, Refsnyder have options so unless they wanna DFA someone, he might not be up for a little.

1:54

I don't see how Pablo Reyes needs to stay on the roster over Urias, though, so I wouldn't be surprised to see that switch soon

Guardians

1:54

Re: Arias - They're starting Rocchio today, who is a more interesting prospect. Think he gets enough run in a deep league to be worth picking up?

Paul Sporer

1:56

I can see Rocchio bringing some 15-team intrigue, he has 19 SBs this yr and could be an SB asset if he gets on base consistently
