Paul Sporer

Miiiight be time for an update on this 2010 piece, but: https://library.fangraphs.com/principles/sample-size/

1:51

Hunter B or Taj ROS?

Paul Sporer

1:51

I like both but I'm buying Brown's sinker conversion that is delivering results lately!

Milton

1:53

Paul - My outfield is a dumpster fire after losing Acuña, and I have to drop one of the following players, Davis Schneider, Brenton Doyle, Tj Friedl, or George Springer. Who would you drop? Also, is Eloy Jimenez a good IL stash or is he cooked?

Paul Sporer

1:56

If it's a free stash with Eloy, sure, but my hopes are diminished some as a former big time believer. For the drop, I'm a little torn but I think it's Friedl (don't tell Justin!). He's another one of those mid-tier power types who might hurt from this junk ball we're seeing and the park alone might not be able to protect. His SBs should remain solid, but Doyle covers that. I'd be open to revisiting Friedl, he only has 12 gms this yr after all, but he's my cut right now

1:57

Added Waldron(because of a few SP injuries) in a deep 12T mixed roto. Level of confidence ?

Paul Sporer

1:59

Confidence level is modest w/any knuckler, but I'm OK w/him. Gets ARI and at NYM in his next 2

Please rank in a points league: Alec Burleson, Matt Vierling, and Nick Gonzales

Paul Sporer

2:02

I think the order you've listed them is how I like 'em. Burleson & Vierling are close for me. I do like Gonzales and pts lg does help him, but I'm still not sure there's enough juice

Don Von Handburger

2:02

So you expect the London games to be high scoring? Freshen your drink, guv'ner?

Paul Sporer

2:03

Yes I do expect runs aplenty!

Colton

2:03

Justin made note of this in the Riteup this morning but Suwinski is back and as long as the plate improvements hold, we're in for a ride with him. Hop back on the train before it leaves the station everybody!

Paul Sporer

2:03

Also on the pod today! I'm back in!!!!!

Oyster Burns

2:04

Got Jansen at catcher. Enough semi interesting names on the wire to stream a bit with Trevino, wong, y diaz, lee. Any reason to drop Jansen for Wells or H Davis for the upside? OBP and BA h2h league

Paul Sporer

2:05

Very down to stream in single C leagues unless I have a mega stud

HappyFunBall

2:05

Winker has more caught stealings this year than he had career stolen bases before this year. What got into him?

Paul Sporer

2:05

We tangentially discussed him earlier... but health and team context are driving this crazy surge!

O’stradamus

2:06

Cut Ober or hold for now?

Paul Sporer

2:06

I'm holding. Suuuuuper nervous about the trip to NYY, but Ober's my guy!

casey stengel

2:06

Drop Ober for Hunter Brown in a points league?

Paul Sporer

2:06

No, I think ya gotta have a lesser arm than Ober to cut

HappyFunBall

2:06

Totally not the actual scene inside the Mets clubhouse. Probably.:

Buxton

2:07

is there any optimism we can see the 2020-22 version again?

Paul Sporer

2:07

I'd like to think so, but I've lost pretty much all hope

Guest

2:08

who are all these Ober panickers? I get it, but also KC has always owned him and NYY is NYY... he's got Pittsburgh next and is an obvious start there to me (12t)

Paul Sporer

2:08

Oh right right right, he pitched last night. He was relatively fine all things considered 5 IP/3 ER

And yeah the other issue is the 2 KC duds but they're good so I don't hold that against him TOO much

On a Houck and a Prayer

2:09

Tanner Houck is obviously not going to keep this up. Not only is his HR/9 the lowest for a qualified starter in 70 years at 0.12, Nolan Ryan was the only other under 0.15 back in 1981. But knowing that... how much regression do you expect?

Paul Sporer

2:09

I see him as a mid-3.00s ERA kind of a guy from here on out so an all formats guy for sure!

Rodney

2:09

Thanks for doing these, Paul! I picked up Edouard Julien as a buy-low in a dynasty keeper. Think he’s back up soon and hitting? Mid/term, I think he may be a candidate to add 1B/OF in Minny if they promote Brooks Lee. Thoughts? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:11

No problem, thanks for coming! I think he can be the first guy up for almost any injury and he'll get a chance if he gets on track in the minors. I'm not out on Julien in the long-term

Guest

2:11

Would you trade Volpe for Corbin?

Paul Sporer

2:11

Oooohhh that's toughhh. But I'd hold

Joe

2:12

What type of players gain/lose value in a daily league as opposed to a weekly league?

Paul Sporer

2:12

Platoon guys for sure. Especially those righty killers like Joc Pederson who just doesn't even play vL

Mary Kate Olsen

2:12

MARY. KATE. OLSEN.

Paul Sporer

2:12

ELIZA. BETH. OLSEN.

Salty

2:12

Considering the SNY broadcast team's collective age, should the network employ a cardiologist on call specifically for games where the Mets hold a lead going into the 9th inning? And will Edwin Diaz right the ship in a few weeks to lessen Mets fans' pain?

Paul Sporer

2:13

I hooope Diaz rebounds. I'll definitely slot him back in immediately upon his return
