No Lodolo on your May SP ranks. He of the 2.91 FIP/3.13 xFIP/24.3 K-BB%. Defend yourself.

Paul Sporer

Injured

1:37

I just decided a couple years ago not to rank injured guys in-season bc timelines get so messy. And since I do the SP chart during the season, you can get a read of where I'd have them if they were healthy. For example, Lodolo is consistently a 2-3 x recommendation so he'd likely slot in the Most Formats tier -- https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/2024-in-season-starting-pitcher-rankings...

1:37

Is your boy Tork back on track/what's your outlook ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:40

After the uber slow start last yr, I'm willing to give him some leeway this year. He's been markedly better in May, but that's more bc April was SOOOO bad. Need a couple more HRs and a mid-700s OPS for May or else he becomes a shallow lg cut for me

John Means Business

1:41

A walk from Means! So he ISN'T Maddux after alll...

Paul Sporer

1:41

I jinxed him by mentioning it in the SP chart lol

Flamouts

1:41

How would rank these SPs ROS? Reese Olson, Cole Irvin, Christian Scott, Gavin Stone

Adell hit .327 thru 4/28, since he has more bombs of course, but is only hitting .183 with a .156 BAbip. You think it can even out, or is he just an all or nothing guy?

Paul Sporer

1:43

Yeah it just seems like guys like that w/poor plate skills have the bigger ebbs & flows to their season. I haven't done any firm study on that, my feeling in anecdotal, but that's generally how I view it

Tony

1:44

Jamison is my weakest SP. Would you release him for Megill (NYM), Sandoval, or Verlander? League counts IP, QS, K/9. Thanks.

Paul Sporer

1:44

Prefer JV over Jameson Taillon, I'm also OK just playing matchups w/that group

Johnny

1:44

Do you trust Manoah yet? Manoah or L Severino ROS? Thx.

Paul Sporer

1:46

Still playing it cautiously w/him, but would've ranked him higher than 113 had his Sunday start been in the books when I was doing the rankings. I don't get overlyyyy influenced by one start, but it was a 2nd straight gem and I would've def gotten him into the Team Streamers category which is pitchers 71-100

Hank

1:46

Will Happ rebound? Is he a buy-low in 13 team mixed redraft? Would be dropping either Suwinski or Carpenter.

Paul Sporer

1:49

Loved Suwinski coming into the year, but he's been ROUGH. I still like the whole trio (assuming that's Kerry Carpenter) but I'm OK swapping Suwinski for Happ. All told, I'm not sure they're TOO far apart rest of season, but Happ's PT is secured whereas Suwinski is starting to lose his

Matt

1:49

Hypothetically, if a 10 category 12 team roto dynasty team had 24 total points this far into the season, they should sell, kinda regardless of circumstance, right? Hypothetically

Paul Sporer

1:49

Yeaaahhh I'm all for grinding it out and not giving up on teams too early, but that seems like a pretty dire situation that I'm not sure can be overcome

Dave

1:49

Vinnie P. just popped out as I’m typing this… what do you think of him ROS? Top-12 1B? It does seem like his underlying metrics are looking decent…

Vinnie Pasquantino

1:49

Are smart fantasy owners trying to trade for me right now?

Paul Sporer

1:52

I do think trading for Vinnie P. makes a lot of sense. Brilliant plate skills, power metrics in order, but that ugly .232 BABIP is holding him back. I can definitely see a strong summer from him!

De-Mize

1:52

Nick P told me to drop Mize in his SP roundup. Are you feeling similarly harsh? Should I trade for a bat in an AL keeper?

Paul Sporer

1:56

He said drop in AL-Only?! I'm just not sure what's gonna be available on the wire of an AL-Only. He's definitely a "better in real life than fantasy" type pitcher so I understand moving on in mixers, but I'm probably holding in AL

Bill

1:56

N Marte (CIN) or J Dominguez (NYY) better stash in redraft?

Paul Sporer

1:56

I prefer Dominguez

Matt

1:56

SWR pulled after 4.2, 1K 3H 1BB 1 HBP, 77 pitches. WTF?!

Paul Sporer

1:56

PAIN!!!

Walter

1:57

Man, Mullins has been brutal. Drop him for Tyler Freeman in an OBP league?

Paul Sporer

1:57

Yes, I'm good w/that move and feel like Ced might start losing PT soon given Baltimore's depth

weekly Corbin Carroll sob session

1:57

I have no question

Paul Sporer

1:58

It's been SOOO rough. The crazy thing is, I still don't think I'm sitting him anywhere. I'm just riding it out hoping for the turnaround

Saul Pporer

1:58

Was tired of Carroll. Swapped him for a struggling Arozarena.

Paul Sporer

1:59

Yeah if you're just out on him this year, I don't hate that, espec. bc I'm confident in Rozy rebounding

Paul Skenes

1:59

Would you trade me for a top 3 closer right now if you needed saves?

Paul Sporer

1:59

In redraft, sure. But yeah, it's gotta be a CREAM of the crop closer

Awesome Name

1:59

Where would Gerrit Cole be in your SP rankings if he were healthy?

Paul Sporer

2:00

He goes right back into the Top 20 right away, but probably not quite the Top 10 immediatelyyyy
