Re: starter chart - intro is great. Me personally don’t need blurbs on everyone but at least the interesting or questionable ones.

Paul Sporer

2:24

I have been marinating on a big Sunday edition that previews the week that is exactly like you suggest w/just the recos. I think I might have to get that done! Stay tuned. Thank y'all so much for the feedback!

Ach

2:24

Are you jumping back on the Larnach Express?

Paul Sporer

2:25

Yeah I still believe in his pop so I'll be considering him for deeper leagues. Probably only a watch list guy in 12s or lower

Rugrats

2:25

Which version of Tanner Houck is more real? The dominant pitcher who showed up in the 1st two starts? Or the one who was giving up lots of hard contact to the Angels during his last start? He seems like he has potential, but having to pitch in Fenway with a suspect defense behind him scares me a bit

Paul Sporer

2:27

Not trying to copout, but it's probably just "both" in that he's going to have some inconsistency. I don't think 12-hit affairs like his last outing will be regular, but he'll have his duds like pitchers of his caliber. Maybe they picked up on something seeing him a 2nd time in a row, too. I still like Houck's outlook going forward!

Codes

Is it crazy for me to think Jake Fraley is criminally underrated?! For a daily moves league, putting him in against RHP is gold.

Paul Sporer

2:28

No I'm right there w/you. I looove Fraley! A little tougher to roster in shallower leagues as a platoon guy, but in daily moves lgs like you're saying, I'm all aboard

Sunday Edition of SP Chart

2:28

That would be AMAZING

Paul Sporer

2:29

Yours and a few others that I didn't post would seem to appreciate a big Sunday Edition, too, so I really want to fit that into my schedule

Moelicious

2:29

Why don't many fantasy baseball analysts respect Ranger Suarez. 480 IP, 3.32 ERA, high groundball %, low HR/9

Paul Sporer

2:29

Not sure, tbh. I'm a fan and do agree he is usually pretty underrated. Just a really solid arm on a quality team w/a great bullpen and strong lineup!

Joe

2:30

Why does a two step matter in roto? As in, what difference does it make if a guy pitches twice in one week as opposed to the next?

Paul Sporer

2:31

It's really a weekly lineup league situation. If you can do daily changes, it's not a huge deal. But in weekly leagues, when you've gotta decide on Monday, sometimes you'll take a difficult start to ensure you get the juicy matchup against a crummy team

Mike

2:31

Choose one rest of season in a points league, Cowser or Westburg. I Need 2b and OF.

Paul Sporer

2:32

They probably aren't TOOOO far apart, but I'm a Cowser guy. Obviously we don't wanna just overrate him bc he was a god last week, there will be bumps along the way, but I just really like him so I'll take him in what is more or less a toss up

Re: Jonatan Clase

2:32

Clase or fellow-rabbit David Hamilton? (OBP league)

Paul Sporer

2:32

Hamilton w/the PT edge

Hook 'em!

Milton

2:32

I get it, it's really early, but his team is a legit contender. How long of a leash does Holliday have with those guys in the minors behind him? Again, I know it's early but it;s been pretty rough...

Paul Sporer

2:33

He'll get a few weeks for sure, but yeah, if he's on the interstate (which is what they say when you have a sub-.200 AVG) a month in, he almost certainly heads back down

Kyle

2:33

Brett Baty was dropped in my 13 team keep forever points league. Do you like him enough to make a claim?

Paul Sporer

2:34

Depends on his health, he left early last night w/an injury. If it requires an IL stint, probably not scooping him

Bob

2:34

Thanks for doing the chats. They're very helpful.

Paul Sporer

2:34

Happy to help, thanks for hanging out!

2:34

Is Jesse Winker a sneaky pick-up? Health hasn't been there last two years, but he seems to be cooking with a healthy back to start the season.

Paul Sporer

2:35

Yeah I definitely like riding the hot hand. Talent isn't really the question, it's always been health so let's see where this goes while healthy!

KC Pain

2:35

Start Gausman today vs Yankees?

Paul Sporer

2:35

Game has started, but yes I was sticking w/him -- https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/starting-pitcher-chart-april-17th-2024

Guest

Can we give Kyle Hurt the ROY award just for having the perfect pitcher name for this season?

Paul Sporer

2:36

lolololol yes, but let's hope he doesn't follow his last name!

Guest

2:36

Any thoughts on how the Philly closer situation shakes out? *(And thanks for the chat!)

Paul Sporer

2:37

I always like Hoffman to emerge as the A-guy but then Alvarado getting chances based on matchups and even the others like Seranthony/Kerkering/Soto getting occasional looks, too. Hoffman/Alvarado are the rosterable ones, though

2:38

Maaaannn tough break there for Detroit, booting a couple and then giving up the double to go down 5-4 heading into the bottom of the 9th

DDDDDD

2:39

This Tigers Defense is killing me (and my Shelby Miller shares)

Paul Sporer

2:39

Brutal!

What's your outlook on Harrison Bader ROS? 3% Yahoo ownership for a 10/20 guy with regular PT seems criminally low.

Paul Sporer

2:40

I've always loved Bader, but health has consistently eluded him. Yahoo is also 3 OF with most of their leagues at 10-12 tms so I understand why he usually bounces around the league as a fill-in.

Storm is a-comin in Detroit! It almost looks like a night game all of a sudden

Hot Pocket

2:40

Andres Gimenez for George Kirby straight up in an AL-only keeper league. Which side do you like?
