I lean Devers. I'm not convinced Bichette is a true base stealer so I prefer Devers' hitting

Ramos get back to hitting RHP? Also why isn't Tanner Scott not getting more love as potential closer in BAL?

Paul Sporer

2:01

Wilson Ramos? Yeah he's going to play quite a bit. As for Scott, most are leaning toward Hunter Harvey getting the job, but there are no guarantees so Scott could finagle his way in. He is their primary lefty so they might not wanna slot him in the 9th, but the wide openness of saves makes Scott a worthy gamble

Do you the Orioles call up Rutschman this year or let him work on his defense for a couple weeks to start 2022 before bringing him up?

Paul Sporer

2:02

If he just rakes in the minors, he'll get some MLB burn this year

Young Arms

2:02

Paul, thanks for the updated SP rankings, much appreciated! You have McKenzie>Skubal>Howard>Patino, with each in a different tier. Is that how you roughly see them in terms of longer term SP value? Playing in a keeper league, wondering how the longer term outlook might seem to you. Thanks

Paul Sporer

2:03

Ya that's pretty much my long term outlook for that quartet. I love McKenzie's talent plus the fact that Cleveland does so well developing arms

Mike

2:04

Who could the Blue Jays realistically add to put them over the Rays and Yankees at this point?

Paul Sporer

2:06

I'm not sure there's a single player they could get... at least not one they're realistically looking at. I guess Trevor Bauer would move the needle quite a bit

TNSTAAPP

2:06

I have three pitching prospects in my dynasty league. Who has the most promise out of Pearson, Skubal, and Manning?

Paul Sporer

2:06

I like Manning the best of the three

Chucky

Is Carter Kieboom just another Jurickson Profar?

Paul Sporer

2:08

We need more than 165 PA before going down that path and it hasn't been devastating injury the way it was with Profar.

Leody

2:08

How likely do you think it is that Leody Taveras can be a league average or better hitter? How likely is the DeShields signing to mean greatly reduced PT or even more minor league seasoning for Leody this coming season?

Paul Sporer

2:09

Huuuuuge Leody fan! The Dentist gives them someone to turn to if Taveras isn't ready, but I don't think DeShields is set to takeover CF and push Taveras back to the minors.

Alex Bertland

2:09

In a long-term keeper simulation league (or just in terms of the talent of the player), would you rather have Luis Patino, Jazz Chisholm or Leody Taveras?

Paul Sporer

2:09

Leodyyyy!

Marc

2:09

How do you feel about Cristian Javier for 2021 and long term? Javier + what type of value should I Ask for to trade Ryu?

Paul Sporer

2:11

Dig Javier and think he's priced nicely in current drafts. Hard to say what you could get in trade as that just varies manager to manager. I feel like Javier + Gonsolin or Means or Civale (something in that range) could be had for Ryu assuming your trade partner value Ryu as the stud he is

Hopeless Fans

2:11

More wins: Dodgers or Rockies+Pirates

Paul Sporer

2:12

Oof... I want to say Dodgers, but I'll go w/the pair of teams. I think they at least get 110.

Guest

2:12

By WAR, Jo Adell was the worst player in baseball last year. Is he at least rosterable in a 12-team mixed league this year?

Paul Sporer

2:13

He might not start the season in the majors so I wouldn't be eager to draft him in 12-teamers. I'd want at least 5 reserve spots, but even that is a little tight to go for him in shallower leagues

Pat G

2:13

In a keep forever, would you trade Rutschman and Lux for Woodruff and Voit?

Paul Sporer

2:13

As long as I'm in a competition window right now

Fighting Bob LaFollette

2:13

In 1972, Steve Carlton started 41 games and threw 346 IP.

Paul Sporer

2:13

That's wild

Guest

2:13

If the Dodgers don't bring back Turner, is Edwin Rios a viable fantasy asset?

Paul Sporer

2:13

I'd be really surprised if they didn't bring Turner back, but yes, in his absence I'd turn my attention to Rios for sure

Guest

2:26

Gavin Lux and Daz Cameron turned in a 63 and 67 wRC+, respectively, last year. Whom do you like better for next year?

Paul Sporer

2:26

Think Cam has a better shot at playing time for '21 specifically

Guest

2:26

Dynasty roto. Winker for Bundy?

Paul Sporer

2:26

Gimme Wink

Sean

2:27

Would you rather keep Aaron Nola as a 7th-round pick? Or Corbin Burnes as a 16th?

Paul Sporer

2:27

Burnes 9 rds later

Chucky

2:27

Care to enter in on the Kyle Lewis debate? Is he Pat Listach or....2020 ROY Kyle Lewis?

Paul Sporer

2:27

He's better than Pat Listach, IMO. He'd have been a MEGA prospect if not for a bevy of injuries so there's a shit ton of talent here

Guest

2:28

Wondering about surplus value: If Player A has a salary of $30 and projects to be worth $40, and Player B has a $10 salary but projects to be worth $20, should we think of them as equal as far as surplus value is concerned, or is is still better to get the better player regardless

Paul Sporer

2:28

It's still the better player bc the $30 guy putting $40 of stats is much more impactful

Ricky

Thoughts on Biggio in an OBP league? Where would you take him in a 10-team keeper league?
