Payamps or Uribe for Brewers closer spec until Williams comes back?

Andy

2:51

You think Uribe will handle saves for Brewers while Williams is out?

Paul Sporer

2:51

Mentioned earlier that Uribe is my dude, but I totally understand Payamps and Megill specs

2:51

Ke'Breakout?

Paul Sporer

2:53

Feel like we saw the makings of one last yr w/2x the HR count and still believe there's more, ideally in the AVG. I think he can do something like .285/18/18 w/decent R/RBI totals if that Pittsburgh lineup is as spry as a few us believe it can be

Sandoval opening day? What gives?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Patrick? I mean who deserved it more? He's not a bad pitcher. I'm a long-time fan and remain so this year w/the price totally bottomed out. I understand the flaws, but they're all covered in his price. In fairness, I like way too many Angels SPs, lol, but I don't think it's egregious to give Sandy the OD nod

Davis Schneider whiffed on 53.4% of the 4 seasm fastballs he swung at last year. He also slugged .742 on the 4 seamers he made contact with. What do i do with this information?

Paul Sporer

2:57

I mean yeah there's a reason he's post-400 ADP... no one is really buying so if you do like him at all, at least it's super cheap to take shot... but yeah I'm not really into him

daro

2:57

rafaela looks like a righty JBJ with more steals

Paul Sporer

2:57

That's well said. And in fairness, I loved JBJ but that was more of a real baseball thing bc of his elite defense than fantasy

What’s your cleverest team name you’ve ever had?

Paul Sporer

3:00

That's never been a major strong suit for me. For Richer or Sporer was my team name for a long time. And then my favorite spoonerism w/a painfully bad photoshop was another team name I used for quite some time - Hole Camels

Help!

3:00

I missed Victor Scott off waivers. Who else can I grab for speculating on SVs

Paul Sporer

3:01

Wait what? Victor Scott is a hitter who could be a speed merchant... are these 2 separate thoughts?

Mead Me

3:04

Is Richie Palacios being slept on the hardest of ANY player?

Paul Sporer

3:10

The hardest of ANY player??? Probably not, but I totally understand being interested in someone the Rays pluck from relative obscurity who now has a shot at some real PT. I think he's a viable gamble in 12s and 15s for sure. Maybe more of a watchlist in 10s.

3:10

I'm using they meant SBs and not SVs. Only one key off...

HELP!

3:15

Sorry I meant "who else can I grab for speculating on SBs" .not SVs .... stupid QWERTY keyboard!

Paul Sporer

3:16

OK, I figured, but I just wanted to make sure it wasn't like "Oh I missed Scott, so instead of SBs, I'd rather go for SVs in that slot now" so that's why I checked. Other specs: the aforementioned Ceddanne Rafaela, Jose Caballero, maybe get back on the Jon Berti train, Wilyer Abreu, Nick Gordon, Geraldo Perdomo

There we go, that's in the right order now

Seoul Train

3:16

Who is have the biggest positive fantasy this season: Puk, Trevor Rogers, or Mize?

Paul Sporer

3:17

Ooooh that's a good trio. I think Puk actually has the best chance to have no reins on him given his age so I think his volume could give him the edge over those 2

Jack

3:17

Need the roster spot so is waiting on the Eury Perez medical results still a must? Based on what I'm reading it doesn't look good.

Paul Sporer

3:17

I share your nerves, but I'd wait it out as long as I can. You probably have someone else you can cut first if you need an immediate spot while waiting for confirmation on Eury

Humerto Cota

3:18

Somehow found myself with Devers and Royce Lewis and shallow at SS. Another team has Seager and Bichette, so I thought a trade might make sense. Any thoughts on a good potential trade? Or just hold both 3B and hope Neto is a stud?

Paul Sporer

3:18

I'd be happy to do Devers for Seager if your leaguemate would do that. My ideal combo is Seager/Lewis as those are 2 of my favorite non-Tigers players

Mike

3:18

Is Jared Jones in the Pirates rotation to start the year? Does he have top 60 upside if so?

Paul Sporer

3:19

It's looking good, but not yet confirmed. I do think he has Top 60 upside, yes.

Did you wake up early to watch the game today?

Paul Sporer

3:19

I sure did! And I'll be up streaming tomorrow morning while watching the game again. I can't show the game obviously, but if you wanna come hang while watching and talk baseball, come through: https://twitch.tv/sporer

3:20

What you think of david fry? Plays all over, decent hitter and can catch

Paul Sporer

3:21

Is he making the club? Intriguing AL-only kinda guy if and when he's on the roster

Tony The Tiger

3:21

Mize or Manning for 5th spot?

Paul Sporer

3:21

Oh I think it's Mize v. Olson. Manning is locked IMO

3:21

TELL ME HOW GREAT JACKSON JOBE IS.

Paul Sporer

3:22

SOOOO great!! I promise I'm not just picking all the Tigers Qs, there are many more I haven't gotten to... we just have some real juice this year and it's so fun!!!

Chickie

3:22

I know it’s only spring but…..ELDC hasn’t gotten a hit since Hector was a pup and lots of K’s. I know the injuries pretty much guarantee him p/t but if the slide continues, good chance we see him hitting out of the 8 or 9 slot vs AAA?

Paul Sporer

3:24

This is a fitting bookend because we opened the chat with someone referencing Justin saying that if EDLC really flops, he could be sent back down. And while I think it'd take until June/July for that to happen, his extreme volatility is why I have ZERO interest in his Top 25 ADP. I understand the premium upside, but at that price point, he HAS to deliver at that level to be worth it and he's just not that sturdy an investment just yet. I'd rather wait 30 picks for Oneil Cruz (who has risen substantially, but still comes much cheaper w/virtually the same upside).

Tony The Tiger

3:24

Ive seen some projections showing Frelick stealing 26 - 30 bases? Is that even in the realm of possibility?
