Welcome everyone!

Too Many Mooks

What is the spring training performance you feel the most illogically encouraged by?

Paul Sporer

1:03

Gotta be the Tigers pitching, lol

Hi Paul, AL only league. Pick two to keep, all cost the same: E Carter, Grayson , and Ragans. Thanks

Paul Sporer

1:03

Without knowing the scoring or anything, I'd say Ragans/Carter. Tough to get rid of any of 'em, but I'd def go 1 P and Carter

Sabey Sabes

Yamamoto's stuff was NASTY. Feel bad for hitters once he course corrects that command.

Paul Sporer

1:03

Yeah I'm 0% worried, still flashed the nastiness like you say

I always go light on closers (5x5 cats; I punt saves in the draft and try to find them later on the wire), and I have Jax and Uribe but J. Lawrence is on the wire. Lawrence was quite good before he flamed out from overuse. Worth adding Lawrence over Uribe? (Also given holds do nothing for me)

Paul Sporer

1:04

I don't hate that move as Milwaukee will likely rotate between the 3 guys - Megill, Uribe, Payamps

Matt Tuiasosopo

1:04

Would you cut Alvarado for Suarez?

Paul Sporer

1:04

Yes, I think so

Tork This

1:04

If you had a wealth of 1B and Rengifo was your 3B, would you give up Tork for Jung in a deep league that adds BB-K as a 6th roto category?

Paul Sporer

1:05

That's defensible, sure. I like Jung long-term. Huge Tork fan, but understand it given your setup

Sabey Sabes

1:05

I grabbed DL Hall to fill an RP slot, but now sounds like a rotation piece to start. Worth hanging onto?

Paul Sporer

1:05

Nick Pollack was talking him up big time on our new pod yesterday saying the command and control looked markedly better

Insert Witty Name Here

1:06

Think Freeman steals 20+ bags again?

Paul Sporer

1:06

I wouldn't bet it. He's a savvy base runner, but I'd project 8-11 range

Matt W.

1:06

Good luck tonight. I think you should one up Justin take Cole 1.1. Will you be streaming the draft?

Paul Sporer

1:07

LOLOLOL. Tyvm, yes I will be streaming it. Live at 9pm CT (or a little before) on Twitch for my Main Event -- https://twitch.tv/sporer

Phil

1:09

My last 2 starters are Gil and Mize. Should I consider dropping any for DL Hall or Stone?

Paul Sporer

1:10

No, I'm fine w/who you have. I love Stone, but that's a similarly talented group

Matt Tuiasosopo

1:10

Please rank these pick up options (normal pitching cats + QS): Gavin Stone, Louie Varland, Jared Jones

Paul Sporer

1:10

The order listed

Anon

1:10

Can you please rank for 2024 roto? M. Meyers, C. Mize, J. Jones

Herbie

1:10

So I'm all in on Detroit pitchers. Im in a keeper league and drafted Flaherty, Mize, Olson, and Manning. Manning obviously got sent down. Should I hold on for a couple of weeks or just burn and churn for Canning or Houck?

Paul Sporer

1:10

Without knowing league size, prob burn & churn bc it seems like a 10 or 12 w/those guys on the wire

Jon

1:11

would you rather start the season with Jackson Merrill or Ahmed Rosario on your bench? third option would be to have both and dump AJ Minter.

Paul Sporer

1:11

I'm a big Merrill fan

Justin Mason said to give Kyle Harrison no leash and cut bait if the control isn't there. How many starts do I have to watch before I should be fearful his control is bad again and move on? I did spend a 23rd round pick on him so it's not like he cost much (but he does have more upside than most in that range)

Paul Sporer

1:13

1-3, depending how you feel

Don't need to give post-20th rounders a huge leash

Robert

1:14

If Victor Scott II does well before Dylan Carlson comes back from injury, do you see Dylan Carlson being traded?

1:14

How long does Victor Scott last? Is he gone when carlson comes back regardless of performance (unless it's shockingly otherworldly)?

Paul Sporer

1:14

Not sure he'd be traded. It's just so hard to say on things like that. It's pure guess so I'm not sure it's even worth doing so. There's room for both to be on the roster and share time. Michael Siani isn't a must hold for them

Porcho Villa

1:15

Better 3B backup plan for Royce "Glass Joe" Lewis: Ke'Bryan Hayes or Morel? (12 team 5x5 OBP)

Paul Sporer

1:15

I love Ke'Breezy

Pedro

1:15

Paul: What to do about Woo? I had been excited to keep him at $6 in an AL only 5x5 but now I think I have to let him go and keep Pivetta ($7) and Kutter ($6) instead. Thoughts? Thx

Paul Sporer

1:16

I'd have kept Kutter ahead of him already personally, though I do understand the excitement on Woo as I like him, too. But yeah, I'd keep either over him based on the injury

Which bounce-back season do you see as more likely, Stanton? Or Trevor Story?
