Sano or Will Benson ROS?

2:27

jeffs article recently brought up sano. are you grabbing/ do you have any shares?

Paul Sporer

2:29

I'm intrigued by Sano and definitely think he still has 30 HR upside, but between him and Benson, it's Benson for me even as a platoon guy.

2:29

Lane Thomas' ouchie--is it James Wood-o'clock or are the Nats gonna make us wait?

Paul Sporer

2:29

I think it's just Lipscomb/Senzel filling in for now

Ken

2:29

Re: Skenes, how much fantasy value is there if the dude is only gonna pitch 3-4 innings an outing?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Do we think that's all he'll get in the majors? I feel like he's doing that in the minors as a way of keeping his workload in check so they can go 5-6 in the majors

Stick to Sporer-tzball

Time to drop Gelof for Luis Garcia in a keeper league?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Yep, I'm cool w/that

Colton

Super small sample here on Noot this year, but seems to have figured out a bit of lift over the offseason an dis hitting the hell out of the ball. Could be a huge breakout for him hopefully!

Paul Sporer

2:32

I looove Noot so I never want to overreact to a favorite, but happy to see his hard hit rate off the charts. I think it's been more liners than flyballs still, but he has many avenues to fantasy viability even if we don't see a major power step this year!

Gorman with 4 hits over 102 mph against lefties, including a bomb and 2 2B, over the last 3 days. Feels like he's warming up just in time to avoid joining Walker at AAA.

Make that 5 batted balls for Gorman, over 101.8 mph over the last 3 days, all off lefties and including 2 2B and a HR, though the most recent one was a lineout.

Paul Sporer

2:33

Yeah he's one of those standard power guys who can look like he should be in AA when he's cold and then in MVP consideration when hot. That's why I was reluctant to overreact to the slow start!

need SP depth

2:33

Is Mitch Keller droppable for flavor-of-the-week type starters like Butto, Mitchell, and Suarez?

it feels awfully early to give up on a preseason top-200 type, but it's hard to see him being better than average at anything

Paul Sporer

2:34

Depends how deep the league. OK to move in a 10, but probably still trying to stick it out and 12s or deeper w/Keller

Paul

2:34

Where you at on Crochet? His velo is falling while the ERA skyrockets last few times out, so wondering if he's droppable now in 12-teamers or if you're hanging onto him for the time being

Paul Sporer

2:37

Gonna be watching him tonight before doing anything. If it's another dud, I'm open to some shallow league drops. He was found money either way given where he was drafted or picked up off waivers so I don't mind making a relatively quick move, but wanna at least see how he does at MIN tonight

Bobby

2:37

Is Taylor Ward breaking out this season?

Paul Sporer

2:38

He's similar to Naylor in that he doesn't need to alter his skills a ton to have a breakout, but instead just stay healthy! We've seen how good it can be when he played 564 PA back in 2022. That many or more would likely mean a really nice season from Ward

Peter

2:39

Time to drop gav Williams? 12tm. Another setback…

Paul Sporer

2:39

Yes on the heels of the setback news, he can be cut

Mike

2:39

Flaherty or Crotchet?

Paul Sporer

2:40

Flaherty even if Crochet does well tonight. Even if their skills are similar (and right now I favor Flaherty), Flaherty's volume outlook is MUUUUUCH higher

2:42

OK y'all absolutely killed it! I wish I could stay and keep answering, but I do have to get going and get some stuff done. I will have a morning stream called Boxes & Bull where we peruse the previous day's boxscores and sip on our morning drink of choice which happens to be Sugarfree Red Bull for my dumbass. That'll be live at 8am CT tomorrow on my Twitch channel - https://twitch.tv/sporer -- come through and feel free to ask any questions there! I'll talk to y'all later, take care

Frankie

Bellinger to the IL with a rib fracture. So much for that clean x-ray last night!

Paul Sporer

2:43

Oh dang, that must've JUUUST happened bc I even checked the news when answering that Tauchmann question. Tauch has some heat now! OK bye for real!!
