Yeah might end up being a big waiver scoop

Main

1:30

Since you have the 1, most Aces are plucked, are you diving in on Skubal for the snake 2/3?

Paul Sporer

1:30

We'll have to see tonight

Red Sox

1:30

What to do with Red Sox rotation? I like Pivetta and Crawford but want to add Whitlock too? Bello is also free.

Paul Sporer

1:30

I like all 5 Red Sox starters to a degree. So depends who's being cut and league size

Matt Damon

1:31

MATT. DAMON.

Paul Sporer

DATT. MAMON.

Roller Coaster of Love

Joey Gallo hasn't hit over .200 since 2019. Is this the year?

Paul Sporer

1:31

Why would it be?

El Nino

1:31

Am I crazy for thinking Garret Crochet could be a steal SP?

Paul Sporer

1:31

No, not necessarily. It's a major longshot, but he's priced to buy

quadrangular

1:31

O'Neill or Varsho this year?

Paul Sporer

1:31

Varsho slightly for me, but happy to pivot to O'Neill if Varsho goes

El Kabong

1:31

Severino gonna be lights out and make 30 starts?

Paul Sporer

1:31

Allll about health w/him

Mike Piazzaria

1:32

Kyle Harrison control issues well documented- are we sleeping on the upside there? With respect to Vince Velasquez, you can’t fake 10+ strike out games

Paul Sporer

1:32

But doesn't citing Velasquez kinda undercut what you're saying? Not that you can fake 'em, but that they don't guarantee any future success

MF Luder

1:32

I have a lot of Matt McLain and in many of those leagues I also have Andres Gimenez. Do you think its worth packaging Gimenez with something to try and getting a higher tier 2B? Or ride with Gimenez? Both of these are 16 team, 1 is h2h points, 1 is h2h cat

Paul Sporer

1:33

Roll with Gimenez, I like him this year on the bounce back

Fly High Fre-bird

1:33

Why hasn't Sal Frelick's SB upside materialized? Is there upside to a 25-30 SB season in there?

Paul Sporer

1:35

I wouldn't say it hasn't materialized, he only has 227 MLB PA and averaged 29 per 600 PA in the minors. So yeah, I think 25-30 is very plausible if he's getting on base consistently. Adding the 3B elig. is intriguing, too, I like drafting him

Mike Piazzaria

1:35

James Wood crushed spring training. Is this a service time arbitrage and we should expect him late April early May or will they drag it into the summer? Bonus for any thoughts on Dylan Crews timing

Paul Sporer

1:37

Nah, he can use more seasoning. It was a great ST, but he has 87 gms at AA as a 20-yr old w/a 34% K rate. I don't think it's out of pocket to send him to Triple-A. Love Crews and think he could be up by Memorial Day if he goes down and hammers Triple-A. Wood/Crews could really turn that Washington offense around this summer. Very interesting potential there

When will Chase DeLauter be called up?

Paul Sporer

1:39

With the season coming up, I want to point out that I won't do tooo many "when they coming up" questions bc it's a pure guess. Even for the folks who are dialed in on prospects and have front office connects, you still just never know so I don't wanna anchor y'all to some random dates. DeLauter was bananas in spring and could be up quickly if he cooks in Triple-A... or Cleveland will give him away for nothing like Benson and Nolan Jones lololol

Yank'd

1:39

Berti or Neto for MI bench?

Paul Sporer

1:39

Neto... though it seems Berti is going to start at 3B for NYY

Mr. Honey

1:39

Flip-side to the Holliday debate: Colton Cowser made the club but won't play everyday. Does that stunt his development?

Paul Sporer

1:43

Never know for sure bc every player is different. I think the risk is if they're like once a week players. I think Cowser should be playing 3-4x a week with a chance for more if he rakes

Too Many Mooks

1:43

Will Smith 10/$140 extension, fyi

Paul Sporer

1:43

HOT!!!

1:44

Royals have their closer forever

SteveO

1:44

Trade Cowser for Lux?

Paul Sporer

1:44

Coinflip, I'm a huge fan of both, so take your preference or team need based on position

Smiling Politely

1:44

With LAD C Will Smith signing a 10 yr deal today, is it safe to assume their catching depth will end up starting for other teams in the next year or two (a la Ruiz)?

Paul Sporer

1:45

Yep, I think if your team isn't expected to contend and has a tradeable pitcher, maybe you start seeing how Diego Cartaya or Dalton Rushing fits into your org

Thomas D

1:45

Eury or Bobby Miller?
