Big Tuna

Which SP get the biggest boost from a shortened season?

Paul Sporer

1:16

Ryu

Slapshot

1:16

If Miguel Sano could ever stay healthy for a full season, what do you think his statistical ceiling would be?

Paul Sporer

1:16

50-125

Guest

Rich Hill, Freddy Peralta, or Michael Kopech -- 5x5 QS instead of W and SV+Hld instead of SV

Paul Sporer

1:17

Hmm, that's interesting. Think I'll still go Kopech as the shortened season helps him a bit

SBDaGOODness

1:17

Sale really shoulda got it last year !

Paul Sporer

1:17

Perhaps, easy for us to tell someone to get surgery

Big Tuna

1:21

What are you doing with rookies given the short season? Pearson, Gore, etc. Do they move up your ranks or worried they won’t be up?

Paul Sporer

1:21

I think we need to see what's up with service time before making a full decision there

Derek

1:21

I've seen MLB and the union are discussing granting a full season service time to players that are in the major league team the whole season even if it's just 100 games for example. But what about a player that goes 70 out of 100, for example.

Paul Sporer

1:21

That's one the most interesting aspects of this whole thing

1:21

who is up first OCruz or Mountacastle?

Paul Sporer

1:22

Mountcastle, but I prefer O.Cruz long term

Guest

1:22

Paul who does steeb think is the best player for SP's this year?

Paul Sporer

1:22

He's still investing Thor "just in case", he's an idiot

Aceman

1:22

Dynasty......Bo/Muncy/Skobal/Jazz enough for Arenado and Gallon

Paul Sporer

1:23

Definitely, that's a fair deal there with enough for each side to feel good

Roy

1:23

Reasonable Outfielders to get for Yordan? I was thinking Ketel for Yordan straight up

Paul Sporer

1:23

I'd love that. I prefer Marte

Hookmonsta

1:23

yeah, it’ll be interesting to see if they report for spring training again and then a player comes down with the virus. Does that shutdown a team for two weeks?

Paul Sporer

1:26

Ya that'd be wild if someone caught it right after start up

Greg

1:27

How high do you shoot Verlander back up if he is ready to go after all of this?

Paul Sporer

1:27

I'd bring back into the 5-7 for sure

Bluejay Tommy

1:27

How soon before Nate Pearson cracks the starting rotation for the Blue Jays? I assume with the shortened season possibly no issues with service time? And once he arrives, what kind of numbers do you expect?

Paul Sporer

1:28

If no svc time issues, VERY soon. Otherwise, I think they'll leave him down for requisite time to get the extra yr and then bring him up

gcarter

1:28

I can't see how there is a season this year. This isn't going away. If they try to start the season inn July or August, we are going to run into an issue like the NBA had. If 1 player or team personal get it then multiple teams will be on self quarantine for weeks.

Paul Sporer

1:31

I don't think you're wrong that it's a possibility. I don't think any of us want to consider it, but I can't lie, I've def thought about it

Dylan

1:31

what's your pick in the pval draft? asking for a friend

Paul Sporer

1:31

It's coming, I'm sorry. I've been a nightmare in it. All of sudden we go on lockdown when all we can do is stuff like this and I'm somehow busier than if we weren't locked down

Thor no more

1:33

I read that Spencer Howard could open season as #5 in rotation now that it is shortened? You think they would do that with service time as an issue?

Paul Sporer

1:34

I read that, too, even before the CV issues. I think all of it comes down to what they decide re: svc time

Jason

1:34

Are there any examples of MLB pitchers who took the "wait and see approach" with their UCL instead of getting surgery immediately that have worked out besides Tanaka? He is the only one I can think of.

Paul Sporer

1:34

Hasn't Felix had a torn UCL for a whole minute even at times when very good still?

Northof56

1:34

Do you think Dustin May and M. Gore are relevant this year?

Paul Sporer

1:34

Both likely to have some relevance, yes

Northof56

1:39

Corbin Burnes or Austin Voth?

Paul Sporer

1:39

Both are interesting deep leaguers. I'll go for Burnes on the buyback first, but keep whomever you don't take on the watch list for sure

Kyle

Hi Paul, thanks for all you do and thanks for sticking with us during the pause! Couple of site things I have questions on: 1) When looking at statistic leaders and projections on the site, is there a way for Fangraphs to add the player position when querying for all positions? 2) When looking at projections and statistic leaders, I believe there used to be a way to increase the page size from the URL in the past, but it doesn't appear that this exists anymore. Is there a way on the user's end to set this to 1000 per page as default as opposed to the standard 30 it is set to? I'm looking into doing some real-time querying of statistics to look at things graphically

Paul Sporer

1:40

You're welcome, thanks for sticking with us. I'll ask the folks who could help in this avenue about both of these for you!
