Jo Adell & Luis Robert are the obvious ones but you kinda have to look at the more obvious ones when you're projecting the next uber superstar

Quadrangular

2:09

any gut feeling on the number of players that will end up sitting out 2020 (if there even is a season)? 10% of player pool? 2%?

Paul Sporer

2:10

I put an O/U of 30 and I'd be inclined to lean over. Totally understand anyone sitting out, of course

lenny

2:11

What current stud starter do you think Lazardo could become like, if things play out as projected?

Paul Sporer

2:13

At peak, he's a top flight lefty in the realm of a Blake Snell

PB&Js

2:16

I'm in a 12 team weekly league that looks unlikely to move to daily even with the abbreviated season. I want Kevin Cron because his upside, like his corpus, are huge. Any way I justify playing him in my util with his platoon situation?

Paul Sporer

2:17

Not in a 12-teamer, especially if he's on the short side of the platoon. If he finds his way into a full-time role, I'd be interested in just about every format

Quadrangular

2:20

any up-and-coming power-speed combo guys that you're betting on long term?

Paul Sporer

2:20

Kristian Robinson, O'Neil Cruz, Bobby Witt Jr., and Jeter Downs

I'm debating whether to take G Richards or Ginkel with my last P spot. My league does has Holds as a category, but I feel I should have as many SP as possible. Right now I have Pomeranz (sp/rp) and could carry 6 RP total. I guess the question is 6 RP and 6 SP or 5 RP and 7 SP?

Paul Sporer

2:21

I'd go Richards. Ginkel is nice as outlined after an earlier question about him, but middle relievers emerge all over the place. Richards - with health - could be a game changer

Big Joey

2:25

Laureano and Colome or Hilliard and N. Anderson?

Paul Sporer

2:26

Laureano side for me

\__O__/

2:26

Are there any wild strategies you are considering testing in your home leagues in this small sample season (more lineup stacking, punting a category, pocket aces, etc)?

Paul Sporer

2:26

Yes, we discussed this on the pod yesterday, there is absolutely no better time to try out some stuff you've always wanted to but maybe have been nervous to try

Lorenzo

2:28

Regarding late round flyers for SP, should the division/league they play in factor heavily in who to choose?

Paul Sporer

2:28

I'd lean Central

JAMAL

re: Burdi, yes I meant Nick with the Pirates. It's hard to tell where he will fit in the bullpen, but he was dominate with a 17 k/9 before getting hurt again

Paul Sporer

2:29

Kela has the gig right now but if Burdi goes off, he can absolutely ascend into a key role

Cannon

2:29

Say Justin Upton's toe turfs again and Brandon Marsh gets a full time role- 12 team relevant?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Almost anyone with a full time role is a worth a look in 12-team and I'm a big fan of Marsh, too

Jack

2:33

Can you give your opinion on Starlin Castro? Apparently him hitting third is on the menu, and I'm curious what kind of value that can provide if he's hitting after Trea Turner and Juan Soto.

Paul Sporer

2:35

If he's hitting 3rd, there's def some upside. I will say that this shortened season undercuts one of his big selling points, though - volume. In a 60-game season, it's hard for guys to separate themselves with a ton of PA

JAMAL

2:35

Is Deivi Garcia worth holding for this year and for dynasty purposes? 12 teamer H2H

Paul Sporer

2:35

Dynasty, yes, but I wouldn't expect a huge 2020 return

2:36

OK y'all, I have to get going. Thanks so much for coming out! Follow me on Twitter (@sporer), Twitch (sporer), and Instagram (p_sporer). I’ll be streaming on Twitch later today and you can definitely come by and ask questions about fantasy there. Have a good one, y’all!
