Paul Sporer

2:49

I like Dom between those two and getting popped for PEDs clears any playing time concerns

2:50

The Mets' logjam is suddenly not an issue

Dave

2:51

Should I go ahead and trade Cano?

Paul Sporer

2:51

To who? Who was even buying him before this given how reluctant the fantasy community is to invest in age?

2:51

Is Rafael Montero a sneaky RP1/RP2 or is it fool's gold?

Paul Sporer

2:55

I think it's real! He got started last year with the Rangers. He has a 3.09 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 29% K, 6% BB, and 11% SwStr the last two years. It's only 46.7 IP, but given that I'm reluctant to buy big on closers this year, I'm definitely scouting for the next big things and Montero is one of them

The Final Boss

2:55

Cano suspended a full season. Scratch him off my 2b targets I guess...

Cano

2:55

The Mets have $24 million off the books for one season. Seems perfect for a big one year offer to Bauer

alec bohm

2:55

The hayes vs bohm seems fairly obvious but I'm a phillies fan. Bohm's profile looks like lemahieu's with low Ks and all-field approach but bohm has the raw power for way more HR

Paul Sporer

2:56

Don't sleep on Hayes' raw and potential to develop further. Plus, Hayes has the SB edge to make them pretty close. Like I said, I want both. If I can only get one, yes I will take Bohm

Cano

2:59

Can JD Davis play third full time?

Jonathan

2:59

Have people been too hard on JD Davis' defense at third? He seems below average but more than passable

Paul Sporer

3:01

Miguel Cabrera played full time 3rd at ages 29 and 30 so I think JD can hang

The Final Boss

3:02

Have you dabbled in NFBC? Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

3:03

Yes I've been playing the last four years and really love it. And it's not Main Event or nothing, there are many ways to get into it and I've enjoyed my time at all the levels. I'm a huge fan.

Guest

3:03

Harper over Rendon?

Paul Sporer

3:03

Yes I'm leaning that way

viceroy

3:03

Does Garrett Crochet stick in the majors next year or do they try to stretch him out? He seems closer ready already

Paul Sporer

3:04

He's definitely a cusp case. Eno always pointed out how the bullpen can be sticky meaning when someone dabbles there, they can tend to stay put. Trevor Rosenthal, Roberto Osuna, Josh Hader all had grumblings of the relief being temporary. With Colome gone, it creates an obvious hole and Crochet could absolutely fill it or a fireman role

brad

3:06

Two SP I am buying or high on relative to price are Deivi Garcia and Brady Singer, thoughts and who are your value SP to buy going into 2021?

Paul Sporer

3:06

Haven't done my studies on Garcia, but I do like Singer. Here is a group of arms I'm keeping tabs on him, too https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/five-starters-to-monitor-for-2021/

(Singer included in that, btw)

Guest

3:06

Can JD Davis even hit all that well?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Huh? He has a 129 wRC+ and 28 HR in 682 PA the last two years.

Guest

3:07

How deep does a league have to be before the Reds’ Jose Garcia is fantasy relevant?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Probably just NL only right now

Guest

3:07

Wander Franco going before Ke'bryan Hayes in redraft confuse you, or close enough not to matter?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Completely confused. I get that he's an elite prospect, but I'm not entirely sure he debuts next year. TB loves to slow roast and he's still JUST 20 next year

The Final Boss

3:09

Red Sox payroll sitting at $127. That is some chunk of cash to play with. See them in on any of the real big free agents, or sit back and develop internally a year before breaking the bank?

Paul Sporer

3:09

I see the latter. I see some mid-tier moves more than anything else. They need to regroup a bit, but definitely not a teardown rebuild

Guest

3:09

The best fantasy SP in the NL West next year is ____?

Paul Sporer

3:10

I have Kershaw highest rated so I'm sticking with that.

3:11

Regarding the Marte/Walsh for Yu/Lewis deal - yes, I got Yu/Lewis.

Paul Sporer

3:11

Yeah I have no problem with that given your circumstances. I think the deal really works both ways (like Walsh and his changes) so given that you needed pitching, Darvish is a great pick up

Talkin Jake

3:11

No question, ended up here looking at free agents. Go basepaul.

Paul Sporer

3:12

Woo! Thanks for coming by!

RMR

3:12

I kind of groaned when Stroman accepted the QO because of the Mets' IF defense and it's bad rep, but now I'm reading articles saying they actually improved quite a bit last year. Is this maybe not as bad as I was thinking?

Paul Sporer

3:13

They absolutely improved, but I'm still not PSYCHED to have a groundball guy there. Stroman is a worthy buy in the mid-200s, especially if he keeps those K gains

3:14

What's David Fletcher's upside? Is last year it or does he have a >25 HR+SB season in him

Paul Sporer

3:17

I'd be surprised if he reached that high. He just has ZERO power. I'd think more 6-9 HR and 7-10 SB so a high end around 18-20 HR+SB. Love the AVG and positional flexibility.
