Who's the next Indians breakout SP? Civale? Quantrill? Allen? Someone nobody has ever heard of?

Paul Sporer

2:46

I was big on Civale in '19 and remain so for '20. Quantrill and McKenzie are firmly on my radar, too

Fred

Any chance Austin Riley out produces ADP

Paul Sporer

2:48

Definitely possible. He's got some Adam Duvall-esque upside (he has 2 30-HR seasons on his ledger) and a strong 98 gms the last 2 years. I think .245-.250 w/30+ HR can be done and that would outperform his 200-something ADP

Am I just wasting a golden opportunity to contend? Everyone one is getting better... except us. And next year we likely have to move on from Chapman, Olson, & Laureano....

Paul Sporer

You don't work there anymore and they had b2b 97-win seasons before a 36-win division title in the short season. Playoffs are hard. Winning it all is hard. Not sure what else ya want em to do besides become something they aren't and start spending

Kate

Any concern over Musgrove's job security in SD? Not necessarily this year, but next for dynasty?

Paul Sporer

2:56

Only if he regressed and was more of a 4/5 type this year, which I don't expect.

bob blyhead

2:57

so Tony Gonsolin will not be in the rotation? what a waste

Paul Sporer

2:57

Not to start, but nobody uses just 5 starters outside of a random outlier here and there over the last several years and there's no chance any team will this year coming off the two month season

Why is MLB waiting so long to clearly state if there will be a DH or not in the NL?

Paul Sporer

3:00

I think they're negotiating with the union to get something for it. Nothing easy in MLB for some reason

Wait, Billy Beane's not with the A's? Since when?

Paul Sporer

3:02

Turns out I jumped the gun. I thought this was a done deal, but I was wrong. Pardon me. https://www.insidehook.com/daily_brief/sports/oakland-billy-beane-as-f...

Trade Lamet for Pablo Lopez?

Paul Sporer

3:02

I'm not against that, but can you not get more given the Lamet hype train?

3:03

I guess the hype train tamped down w/the end of season injury

Ken

3:03

Any idea on when your SP rankings may be out and do you think the season will delay the start til summer?

Paul Sporer

Next update in early-Feb

3:05

OK y'all, sorry for the disjointed start but I gotta get going. There was some change in the coding of the chat, hence the issues. Back next week at the normal time (1pm CT) and we should be able to go beyond an hour!
