What's the CYA convo?

Filet MinYoan

1:35

Teoscar - SSS or legit breakout?

Paul Sporer

1:36

A mix. There weren't major changes in his approach or anything, but he was smacking the piss out of the ball so it wasn't just a fluke or anything. He'll be overdrafted next year for sure

How legit is Mountcastle? .300 avg + 20 homers next season?

Paul Sporer

1:50

That's possible as an upside, but not a baseline projection. I'd lean more .275 for AVG proj.

Curtis

1:50

Is the Dodger offense underachieving overall?

Paul Sporer

1:51

5th in wRC+, 3rd in R... I'd say no

Deathclaw

1:51

Is Dom Smith a top 10 1B next year? How you feel about him?

Paul Sporer

1:51

Big fan for sure. Not sure if he's Top 10 bc I haven't done a 1B rundown yet, but it's not a particularly deep position so it's certainly possible

Father figure

Keeper for next year: Dinelson Lamet or Ian Anderson?

Paul Sporer

1:52

While I'm known as not a huge Lamet guy, I'm still definitely taking him here

biggy

1:52

Is Luke Voit a small sample size all star? He'll probably go top 30 as a result of this year.......legit?

Paul Sporer

1:53

.280/.375/.543 as a Yankee in 839 PA. He's a legit stud as far as I'm concerned. Couldn't recommend him enough this year and I'll be buying back in next year, too

Hi Paul. Red Saux have Eovaldi, E-Rod (hopefully no covid related heartt problems and a shortened season Sale for 2021 starting corps. How can they possibly build a starting rotation and be competitive for next year? (Separate question) What would you do as GM?

Paul Sporer

1:54

They have to start developing some pitching for sure, but they'll also be able to buy some off the market as guys they want become available. If they get a top 2 pick, they could get Rocker or Leiter in the draft

CYA convo is Cy Young Award

Paul Sporer

1:55

I thought it was Cover Your Ass, lol. I've never seen Cy Young as CYA... usually just Cy or CY. At any rate, yes Burnes is in the convo. It's gonna be a tight race and I think it will come down to this last week and a half as every start matters

Deathclaw

1:57

Will Smith's numbers and metrics are incredible in a small sample. Chance henis evolving into a top C?

Paul Sporer

1:57

Even with the requisite small sample caveats, he's a top C for sure. Part of that is the disastrously shallow pool, but also his performance is doing plenty to drive it, too

Don't know if you remember me celebrating trading Mondesi for Schwarber and Schwarber smacking 2 bombs immediately. Since the trade, Mondesi hitting 340 with 7 steals... and more HR than Schwarb 🤦

Paul Sporer

1:59

Damn, that's tough. Mondesi has been SO back n forth this year. Every time I leave him for dead in terms of fantasy, he goes off. In a standard season, I'd just set it and forget it, but with his catastrophic lows, I've been open to cutting him more than once this year only to see him rebound a bit. Maddening.

Is Ohtani a keeper still? 8 keepers, 12 team league, daily moves

Paul Sporer

2:00

Certainly a consideration for the top 96. It definitely depends on your other options, but I wouldn't just dismiss him based on the lame OPS and pitching flop this year

Scott

2:00

Comfortable rolling out Brady Singer tonight?

Paul Sporer

2:00

For sure. If you can't start him v. DET, he shouldn't be on the roster

Guest

2:00

All things equal, do you trust Wainright tonight?

Paul Sporer

2:01

Ya, I do. He's pitched very well and Milwaukee has been pretty lame offensively

thebearproofsuit

2:02

after his latest spectacular HR robbed, his third, can we put a fork in the Kyle Lewis is bad at defense narrative? i know you're on board, ...spread the word.

Paul Sporer

2:02

What some forget or just don't know bc they don't follow prospects closely is that Lewis would've been a MEGA super-heralded prospect if he had been healthy coming up. That's the only thing that slowed him down. He's an absolute G

JACK flaherty???

2:04

what is wrong with me and should people stay away if i was dropped?

Paul Sporer

2:05

I mean, it's one bad start. He had a 3.08 ERA before getting decimated by MIL so I'm not sure there are fundamental issues with him. If someone cut him, I'm definitely scooping him for the PIT & MIL starts still on the board

Viceroy

2:05

JDM worth dropping? My team is second to last in runs, home runs and middle of the pack in avg home runs

Paul Sporer

2:06

You can in 10- or 12-teamers as there's likely some v nice bats on the wire

Guest

2:06

Would you be rolling with Gallen vs Hou after this two recent blow ups?

Paul Sporer

2:06

Without a moment of hesitation
