Young's PT Is a lot more bankable long-term. Lockridge's PT dries up the moment Chourio returns. Maybe the real move is Locker now and then move onto Young when Chourio's back?

1:44

When you start 1-for-19 and then go on the IL with a legit injury…am i overreacting that it’s the harbinger of a brutal season for barger?

Paul Sporer

1:44

I don't know who that's referencing

Max

1:44

Are you Ballesteros fan? Not much playing time so far.

Paul Sporer

1:45

4 lefties in their L5 and he's a pure platoon

1:46

He started the first 5 vR, then sat 5 straight which included those 4 lefties and then back in the lineup yesterday and likely today w/righty Boyle on the bump

Mr. Burrito

1:46

I might have to whack one of these: Bubba C., Kyle Harrison or Shane Baz? Who goes?

Paul Sporer

1:46

Gotta be Chandler in that trio

Hey Paul, thanks for the chat as always. I decided to buy an early bird ticket on the Didier Fuentes train in my 12 tm 6x6 QS, and dropped Ryne Nelson. Loved seeing your advice to hold in the pitcher chart for today (whoops). I have a droppable player on my roster, should I circle back on Ryne, or look to Wacha, Liberatore, Lowder, Detmers instead?

Paul Sporer

1:48

I do like circling back on Ryne as I think he can get on track once the schedule relents a bit and I'd likely cut Wacha w/at NYY on tap after this week's CHW start (if you can hold through that one, do so as I don't mind streaming v. CHW even w/more HR power in the lineup this yr)

1:48

Barger…right at the end of the Q

Paul Sporer

1:48

I think I glossed over it bc it wasn't capitalized, my b!

1:49

The injury sucks and makes a cut less crazy in 12s and lower for sure, but I'm still holding for now in my 15s

CroneZone

1:49

What's Tatis's problem?

Paul Sporer

1:49

Stopppp

Kevin

1:50

Would you hold McClanahan in a 9-team roto league with a starts limit? I don't think the Rays will let him go 5 enough to get any wins. I'd use the spot to stream and/or for a bench bat.

Paul Sporer

1:50

No, as much as I love him as a pitcher, he's a cut in that format for the reason you lay out w/the sub-5 IP outings

No Kings

1:51

Bradish not stepping up after losing Ragans

Paul Sporer

1:51

And now a bunt hit!!!!

Rick

1:51

Would you rather roster Schanuel or Rumfield in an OBP league?

Paul Sporer

1:54

I like Rumfield! Better power profile and the great park support (despite how poorly Coors has played so far)

1:54

Are you higher on Cam Smith or Jordan Walker to keep up their early production? I picked up both, but now I'm sitting on 5 OFs (3 OF slots) with Schwarbs blocking my UTIL slot, so I might have to cut one of them for an extra arm.

Paul Sporer

1:55

Smith with the SBs is more dynamic so I have a slight lean toward him despite my long-documented love of Walker (which I wasn't super loud about this year, admittedly, I'll admit I was starting to lose faith)

CroneZone

1:55

Seriously tho, is Tatis getting BABIP'ed, or what's the fricking issue?

Paul Sporer

1:56

I wasn't trying to be a dick, it's just that it's 11 gms so I just don't care what is it bc I trust he'll come out of it

For Tatis specifically, yes he is running just a .276 BABIP despite tattooing the ball. He'll almost assuredly be fine, but even if not, we're not even starting to worry until Memorial Day on a superstar like him

Carl

1:57

Where is your belief level for Garrett Mitchell? He's doing some interesting stuff when making contact, but his whiff% and k% are sky high. Could he be a 20/20 guy with low average?

Paul Sporer

1:58

Yes, he def can get the fantasy juice despite all the whiffs. It does make him a big AVG risk which paired w/his dodgy health track record can make him a frustrating guy to roster. It's so funny that he has a .615 BABIP but is only hitting .333 bc he also has a 40% K rate!!

1:59

Tatis feels like the kind of guy who doesn't like playing in the cold, tiny sample size but look at the home/away splits so far!

Paul Sporer

1:59

And I'll give mercy to ANY player who hates the cold, as a fellow cold hater (I'm built like Triston McKenzie, the cold doesn't treat us kindly)

2:00

Pardon the immediate 2pm (or even 1:59 as it were) dip out, but Char just woke up from a nap and barfed, lol. She's OK, it was just some bile, but I gotta go clean that up and take care of her! Thanks for coming out, back same time next week! Well sorta, same time... technically starts at 1pm CT, I was few mins late today

CroneZone

2:01

Hope Char is OK

Paul Sporer

2:01

Thank you! I promise she's good. It happens from time to time bc she loves licking the ground and collecting hairballs lol
