Hi Paul. Can you share any updates on the MN Twins Wander Javier and his upside with us?

Paul Sporer

2:05

Best player ever upside

Mayor Quimby

2:05

I'm apparently behind on a nickname....who is "the dentist"?

Paul Sporer

2:05

Delino DeShields... DDS

Next Ace

2:05

Berrios or Buehler over the next 5 years?

Paul Sporer

2:05

Buehler

Scott TINSTAAPP

2:05

need power and RBIs for my last week in NFBC...you like Schebler or Donaldson? I'm worried about Donaldson PT.

Paul Sporer

2:07

He's play 4 of the last 5. If he plays the weekend, go JD

Matt

2:07

Any idea of the ETAs for Chris Paddack or Wander Franco? Both their stocks seem to be skyrocketing

Paul Sporer

2:12

Paddack May '19, Franco is 2020 at the earliest, prob 2021

Rox

2:12

What are your thoughts on David Dahl? Top 30 OF? Will he at least get to play every day?

Paul Sporer

2:14

He could reach those heights as I do think he will FINALLY get a full go at a starting spot. Strikes me as someone whose offseason stock will soar

Scott TINSTAAPP

2:14

Wander Franco has a bit of Juan Soto profile to him but he's with the Rays so can't wait to see him up in the bigs in 2024

Paul Sporer

2:14

lololol 2025 just to make sure he's OK

joromacsquibb

2:17

What do you expect to see from Yo Cespedes next year? (Assume he comes back in late May, maybe 300/350 PA)

Paul Sporer

2:18

.275/20

Scott TINSTAAPP

2:18

Do you think any of Beeks, Faria or Glasnow will be top 50 starters next year?

Paul Sporer

2:18

Corenzo Lain

2:18

Where does Mondesi get drafted next year in 5x5?

Paul Sporer

2:18

He has a 69 (nice... but not nice bc it's WAY too high) ADP in Justin's #2EarlyMocks. We discuss it at length on today's pod (up later today)

Buck Martinez's Wig

2:18

Pretty sure Glasnow doesn't face the Giants?

Paul Sporer

2:19

Correct. Waino faces them... Waino against the awful Giants... sorry Matt (the guy who asked the Question)

My bad on that one

Slapshot

2:21

What do you think of Eno's column over at The Athletic advocating for ending the fantasy baseball season before the regular season ends due to September baseball with expanded rosters, much like how most fantasy football seasons operate?

Paul Sporer

2:25

It's not a terrible idea. I do hate roster expansion and think they desperately need to alter

joromacsquibb

2:26

Do you expect Dinelson Lamet to regain his spot in the starting rotation next year? Seems like an interesting player to watch with the high K potential

Paul Sporer

2:29

Ya but not til midseason

Justin

2:29

Is Luis Castillo back in your good graces for 2019?

Paul Sporer

2:29

Yes for sure. I'm not quitting him

NotGraphs Revivalist

2:30

Has there ever been a sub-.500 team to get more combined WAR out of their top two players than this year's Angels? Simmons and Trout currently at 14.5

Paul Sporer

2:30

Throw in Ohtani's 3 as well. That's an interesting query. I can't imagine there have been many such teams

Rhys Hoskins Jr.

2:30

Is Ryan O'Hearn a long-term viable first base option? Dude is slugging

NotGraphs Revivalist

2:31

Do you see Buehler's strikeouts dipping significantly next year? SwStr% doesn't seem to back his high K%

Paul Sporer

2:31

Think he's definitely a strong side platoon guy (whoops didn't hit enter hard enough)
