No mentions of me on your twitter since Jun 5.. should I be sad?

Paul Sporer

2:00

I just don't use Twitter much anymore. I love Skenesy!!!

Wait until I write like 5 paragraphs about his awesomeness in the 2025 SP Rankings lol

Talk about playoffs?

2:00

Are you thinking about streamers you want to get a jump on for playoffs? Anything you can share?

We stay picking on the White Sox, of course, so available guys against them are intriguing. Griffin Canning and Jack Kochanowicz both line up for TWO starts against them down the stretch!!

They finish w/the Tigers and only Skubal is heavily rostered in leagues so the other guys should be available in a lot of leagues

2:04

Speaking of the Tigers, Keider Montero and Casey Mize get the last 2 starts v. Colorado outside of Coors in terms of guys who are likely to be available. Skubal also starts in that series and then 3 v. LAD where all 3 are heavily rostered

2:05

Reid Detmers actually doesn't have a great schedule but has the talent to be good v. anyone as we saw in his return v. LAD yesterday. I'd be open to running him next wk v. MIN and if that goes well, then I'd probably hold for HOU/TEX to close the year. Yes, even HOU!

2:08

I've been running damn near anyone v. TBR and some of the available guys who might be facing them down the stretch include: Cole Irvin, Alex Cobb, Ben Lively, Cooper Criswell 2x, Bowden Francis (shouldn't be available, but saw his roster rate still has some room in shallower leagues so just make sure he's rostered!), Chris Bassitt, and maybe a late-season Reese Olson return!

What do you think about Spencer Torkelson's success since being recalled from the minors? Good sign for next season?

Paul Sporer

I'm still in on Tork. Even with as poorly as the early season went, he's just too young to quit. I'm definitely encouraged by his .920 OPS and 4 HR in 64 PA since returning. I doubt it'll push his price way back up so I'm ready to buy relatively cheap in 2025. There's still 30+ HR pop here for sure

Re: pitching vs the ChiSox; in fantasy football with IDP leagues, we would look for cornerbacks who start opposite of lock-down guys, because they’ll get thrown at more and will generate tackles and INT’s and we’ll get “Picked On Points”….same thing here hahaha

Paul Sporer

2:11

Yesss!!! I remember a few of the IDP leagues I played in AGESSSS ago ppl would overdraft some of the lockdown CBs forgetting that true lockdowns just never get thrown at so no chance for INTs and other stats. But yeah, it's just easy money v. CHW so we gotta keep running guys v. them, even sketchy ones like Griffin Canning (maybe one day I'll quit him, lol)

Do you like Detmers sunday @ TEX?

Paul Sporer

2:12

I do yes... but I do have a sickness for LAA pitchers (see my previous Canning comment!). My Detmers and Jose Soriano love is much stronger than my Canning love, though

2:12

pick 2 of 4 RP to roster next week for playoffs: A. Munoz, J. Duran, T. Scott & L. Erceg

Paul Sporer

2:13

I like them in the order you've listed

Paul! Two weeks left for playoffs. Cut Steele for a good streamer at this point?

Paul Sporer

2:14

Yes, any hint of an injury is almost an auto-cut right now
