Hey y'all!!

Carl

1:04

grabbing a couple SPs to fill my bench. QS roto league. Could you rank Abel, Cavalli, Meyer, Eflin, Ashcraft?

Paul Sporer

1:05

Eflin, Abel, Meyer are my faves

BASEBALL SEASON

1:05

Happy baseball season!

Paul Sporer

1:05

We made it through the winter!!!! (Even if the weather hasn't turned where you are, at least baseball is here!!)

Franklin

1:05

I just had my fantasy dynasty baseball draft…. I chose Junior Caminero over Tarik Skubal in the 2nd round (I took Corbin Carroll with the 8th pick)…. Did I screw up?

Paul Sporer

1:05

No, nothing wrong w/either choice!

Jon

1:05

Hey Paul, pick two of these three OF in a 10T OBP roto league please? Cowser, Grisham, DeLauter

Paul Sporer

1:06

Cowser/DeLauter. Would rather take one of them to be this year's Grisham

Greg

1:06

how high are you on Wyatt Langford? I took him in the 4th rd of my inaugural dynasty draft

Paul Sporer

1:11

Huuge fan! Think we're lookin at 30-30 potential for sure. I didn't have the pick slots to really overload on him, but I would've. Really wanted him in my Main on Saturday. He had a minimum of pick-33 in the 10 drafts ahead of mine and I had pick-34.... got sniped at 30!! Texas isn't an easy park but he's got everywhere power and just tons of talent

Angels in the Bullpen

1:14

Do you think Ben Joyce is worth an IL stash where available?

Paul Sporer

1:15

I guess if there’s really no one else worth gambling on

Baker

1:16

We are officially 1 year away from the 2027 season….. does it start on time or canceled due to the lockout? (Best guess)

Paul Sporer

1:16

Prob behind schedule sadly

The Batman

1:16

I just want to say that I thought I was a genius doing my draft on Sunday because everything felt locked in at that point, and then my late, late Kirby Yates pick backfired when an injury snuck in and ruined my life. Baseball! (It's fine)

Paul Sporer

1:17

I feel you! I got saved by my league mates on that the exact same player as I thought Kirby was a great CL3 option who had the job. The Pepiot injury was sneaky too. Romano available for you to pivot to or rosters locked already?

1:18

saved by league mates in that they took Kirby ahead of me, forgot to finish that thought

Pop

1:18

Hey Paul, been reading your stuff since Paint the Black...Seymour going to get some run in TB?

Paul Sporer

1:19

Heyyy that’s a long time, thanks Pop! Yes he will. Probably classic Tampa Bay shenanigans where he’s tough to time until they commit a spot to him but I really like him. Could see a couple one off starts early season unless there’s a long term spot open

Joey Bell

1:19

Is Nolan Gorman a thing again? Seems to be doing all the things we hoped we would (with Spring caveats).

Paul Sporer

1:20

He’s at least “thing adjacent” bc when you have power like, you can flip on a dime in terms of fantasy viability. Playing time is there if he’s performing so if the power clicks, he has 30+ upside easily

Stu

1:20

What’s your projection for Benge? Seems legit but wondering if hitting low in the lineup will limit his upside

Paul Sporer

1:25

Lineup spot definitely dings him initially but lower third on a good team isn’t terrible plus he can move up if he’s good. He strikes me as an accumulator type who contributes everywhere but excels nowhere so even if the R/RBI are curbed by a lower spot, you should be getting some HR/SB/AVG goodness

Maze

1:25

i have to make a decision in my keeper league in the next 3 hours…. Do I keep Luis Arraez or Willy Adames?

Paul Sporer

1:26

Adames. I just don’t love Arraez in fantasy

Insert Witty Name Here

1:27

How many SPs should I roster if we have an innings cap of 1250?

Paul Sporer

1:29

Can still go 7 SP/2 RP in your lineup with a few bench guys to spot in. If we figure 60 IP per RP slot, that leaves 160 IP per slot for remaining 7. So that cap shouldn’t hold you back too much. Might have to slow down in season if you’re staying super healthy but most ppl don’t get 160/slot from 7 SPs

Colt 45

1:29

Need a 3B while I wait for Bichette to gain eligibility there and am leaning toward snagging Colt Keith who has a nice opening schedule (DET's first nine games are all against RHP in warm weather/under a roof). Other options would be Miguel Vargas or Brett Baty. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

1:32

Daaamn, makin it tough for me with 3 of my fave lower tier corner options. They’re close enough that I recommend you go with your guy Keith especially with the early PT feeling secured from a weather standpoint with Detroit’s schedule. In a straight ranking, I’m a little higher on Vargas but not enough to talk you out of Keith.

And that’s to say nothing of Baty, who I like quite a bit too! The early schedule stuff is the kind of thing I use for a tiebreaker on something like this where the talent is close so I like how you’ve landed on Keith

Nick

1:33

Are either Jared Jones or Justin Steele worth stashing on IL in 12 team mixed?

Paul Sporer

1:34

How many IL slots? If it’s more than 3, I don’t mind holding either as long as you can to see what’s what but prob not worth trouble if it’s just a couple ILs bc you’ll almost assuredly suffer an injury or three on your main team before they return

Kyle

1:37

for a dynasty draft would u rather build your team around Corbin Carroll or Elly De La Cruz?

Paul Sporer

1:37

Carroll

Nick

1:37

Max Meyer or Liberatore in 12 team mixed with QS instead of W?

Paul Sporer

1:38

Gotta go Libby, especially with the QS as him getting a full season last year (29 starts) gives him a better shot at the leash needed to consistently run 6 IP

Chris

1:38

Who do you think gets most at-bats with Lars Nootbaar out for STL?

Paul Sporer

1:43

NOT Nelson Velazquez for some dang reason. Really thought he’d break camp. My buddy Gregg Martin of NFBC fame was big on NV even before Noot on the 60 day IL and I really liked it, too, so got some NV shares of my own. Anyway it’s likely to be Nathan Church starting and Saggesse v. L. I think they just wanted to keep their entirely homegrown Opening Day lineup so they took Church over NV 🤣🤣

1:45

Not gonna lie, it does look cool with the uniformity

Tigers cant win division

1:45

5 by 5, late in draft, 15 teams. Need an OF—lane thomas, herbioto Hernandez, Conine, lockridge, or Alex Thomas? Go Guards
