Hello!! We finally have baseball!!!!!!!

OK, now onto the questions...

BTW, include context with your questions or they might be useless (how many teams, format)

Hannah Hochevar

So why is it that Cleveland doesn't make the playoffs?

Paul Sporer

2:15

The bad fastballs of virtually their entire staff, a lame OF, and lack of depth

Tiger

2:15

Watching Zimmerman today. 8 Ks, 1 BB. Only two extra-base hits. The 4 ER aren’t pretty, but a new pitch (2 seamer). Any thoughts? Have any looks at him?

Paul Sporer

2:16

I've been suggesting we don't write him off until we see him healthy and how that goes. Still think there's something in the tank. Monitoring him for sure

Jose Martinez

2:16

Jose Martinez.

Jose Martinez. End of chat. Goodbye.

I know you don't drink, but please create an MLB The Show drinking game for me to play with some friends tonight

Paul Sporer

2:17

Shot or shotgun a beer every time I have a comically bad baserunning error... but be careful bc you're gonna be tanked lol

(also be 21+ if drinking #dadsporer)

jack

2:17

hicks.....

Paul Sporer

2:19

So sad and yet hardly unexpected given his history... for those unaware, Aaron Hicks is on the DL with a rib injury

Hannah Hochevar

2:19

Was really fun to listen to you and Eno again. Old times! Don't tell Justin I said so. He's nice too.

Paul Sporer

2:19

Haha, he's gonna read this and have a single tear drip down his face

Jordan

2:19

What % of FAAB would you spend on Holland?

Paul Sporer

2:19

Depends how badly you need saves.

Jordan

2:19

Baseball is officially back, I am sitting on my couch watching 9 innings of 2 bad teams play. And I love it

Paul Sporer

2:20

I absolutely love it. Obviously it's my favorite team right now, but give me Padres/Rays on a Tuesday in May over just about any non-baseball sporting event

Matt W.

2:20

Is Conforto going to mash, or will his shoulder slow him down? Drop Duvall for him?

Paul Sporer

2:21

He's certainly working his way back nicely, but I'm still a little skeptical. Depends how many reserves if you can't DL Conforto (which I'd assume you can't or he'd be gone?)

Creepy

2:21

Tim Anderson gonna be one this year's biggest breakout stories?

Paul Sporer

2:22

Not if he doesn't alter that approach some. It's SO bad right now. Walks aren't everything, but a 27% K/2% BB combo just can't work

Big Joey

2:22

JA Happ wasn't half bad vs the big bad Yankees, think he could be in store for a top 50 SP season?

Paul Sporer

2:24

Ya for sure. I ranked him 64th but he was firmly part of the glob so you could reasonably have taken him as high as SP45

tb.25

2:24

Odds Stanton continues this pace and hits 324 home runs?

Paul Sporer

2:24

94%

zurzles

2:24

Are there any split-based streaming opportunities to look out for? KC vs LHP and Det vs RHP both look pretty dreadful

Paul Sporer

2:24

There will be, but they usually take some time to develop. Of course if you spot em early, you get the jump before things adjust (for example DraftKings prices changing, etc...)

Chris

2:25

should i trade the 6th, 67th, and 127th picks for the 1st pick (Trout) or should i try to get another pick back?

Paul Sporer

2:26

Not sure the difference between Trout and whomever you get at 6 is worth the two extra players

Nels

2:26

Okay to purge end-of-bench chaffe like T. Mancini and B. Zimmer in shallow 10-team to churn my roster?

Paul Sporer

2:27

Yes, you can't get precious about those guys in that format. You're going to make bad moves churning, but don't let that dissuade you from it... it's a numbers game.

make SOME bad moves*

tb.25

2:27

Kershaw's velo was down plus he got hit around (8 hits in 5 innings). Worry?

Paul Sporer

2:27

Nah

Chris

2:27

Rank Betts, Harper, Stanton this season

Dynasty league, would you trade Greg Holland and Amir Garret for Eddie Rosario? I have Osuna, Hand, Greene and Nate Jones for saves. But I am afraid that by mid-season Greene and Jones may be out of the closer role, maybe traded to set-up somewhere else.
