Happy Birthday, Professor! I'll use him tonight in MLB The Show on stream (https://twitch.tv/sporer)

Ghost of Baseball Past

and by "others" you mean Big Train, Pete Alexander, Cy Young, Carl Hubbell....ALL above Clemens, Feller and Seaver...

Paul Sporer

2:25

Based on what? You say that as if it's definitive and not an opinion. An opinion you're entitled to, but not at all set in stone

It's just too thin, IMO. In a 50-round, I'm getting at least 20 pitchers

BarryBondsJuicedForOurSins

2:28

What's more annoying: trying to get a player from a team that obviously needs to rebuild according to others, or being the guy who doesn't want to rebuild getting incessant offers for the player? Also, why won't this guy trade me Luis Castillo already!

Paul Sporer

2:28

lololol, the incessant offers

Bob

2:28

If McCullers stays healthy is he a top 10 arm?

Paul Sporer

2:29

I'd go more for top 20

Mac

2:29

Thoughts on Sam Hilliard long-term?

Paul Sporer

2:31

The Rockies will probably botch it, but if they don't mess it up, he's an intriguing power/speed combo who plays in the best hitting environment in the league!

BarryBondsJuicedForOurSins

2:31

Anybody you'd bet on making the Giolito jump?

Paul Sporer

2:35

It's so hard to project someone to go from worst SP in the league to one of the best, but his teammate Reynaldo Lopez at least has some potential. Others going 400 or later who could super-surge: Taijuan Walker, Zach Eflin, Patrick Sandoval, Yusei Kikuchi, and Jonathan Loaisiga

2:38

In a really shallow (10 team, 25 player) league using fgpts, how would you rank these keepers: Alonso (give up rd 25 pick), Guerrero (20), Soroka (25), Albies (18), Lux (25)

Paul Sporer

2:38

Vlad, Albies, Alonso, Soroka, and Lux

Mac

2:39

Who do you prefer as a bench bat between Kole Calhoun, Travis Shaw and Corey Dickerson?

Paul Sporer

2:40

I like a potential Shaw rebound, but I'm going to lean Corey Dickerson in this trio!

Julian

2:41

2021 with fans you think?

Paul Sporer

2:42

I'm certainly hoping, but it's so hard to say where all this is going to go

Ever

2:42

I love your pods, which is why I'm asking this, but is there really no baseball content you can go over and give us other than non-fantasy content on your podcasts? Its a good time to go deeper into stats, opinions, as your original off season pods had a lot of "I wouldn't take him here" breakdowns. Give us more baseball content!

Paul Sporer

2:43

I totally hear that and have been feeling the same, too. I'm ready to dive back into more baseball-focused shows

DukeNukem

2:43

Do the Rangers find enough at bats for Nick Solak this year (where) to make him someone to target for essentially free?

Paul Sporer

2:44

I was getting him in leagues as I think his bat will force his way into the lineup with regularity

My Last Pick

2:44

Points league (20 teams/60 man rosters) and have my last MiLB pick coming up. Anderson Espinoza or Jake Burger?

Paul Sporer

2:44

Gimme a Burger

Chucky

2:44

Would you speculate on any or all of the following: Civale, May, Gore, Burnes and deep deep longshot Kim?

Paul Sporer

2:44

Huge Civale fan

BarryBondsJuicedForOurSins

2:44

in a dynasty I traded Spencer Howard and Nate Pearson for Berrios when I should've offered Howard and Patino instead. I'm kicking myself. How hard should I kick myself?

Paul Sporer

2:46

It stings, but don't beat yourself up. Pitching prospects are a huge crapshoot

Reeces Hoskins

2:46

I'm thinking Hoskins can bounce back in a big way. He was great in the first half and was going as a top 5 1b this time last year. I've read he spent the offseason changing his swing as well. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

2:47

I agree, I really think he can chase down 40+ HR, but he needs to bring down the flyball rate a bit. There is such a thing as too many and he's definitely reached that level

Tim

2:47

Percent chance in your opinion we see some form of baseball in 2020?

Paul Sporer

2:48

I'm at like 15%. I hate to pessimistic, but I just don't see a feasible plan

Steadman'sRocket

2:50

In an NL Only dynasty, i'm real weak at OF, any value in keeping Alex Dickerson or Garrett Cooper at $1?

Paul Sporer

2:50

I really like Cooper, but his playing time is severely curbed while A.Dickerson should get plenty so I'll go with him
