Goood afternoon, y'all!

Think Jared Walsh can play himself into a spot/trade somewhere this spring?

Paul Sporer

1:02

Did he get merked from Texas? He was an NRI for them

Daro

1:02

Jhoan Duran or Dw in Williams in dynasty league?

Paul Sporer

1:03

Pretty much a coin toss for me, so let's just go w/the guy 3 yrs younger in Duran

Daro

Devin Williams*

(no prob, I knew who ya meant!)

Are you as excited to see Yamamoto debut as me? Think he breezes or do we see some struggles?

Paul Sporer

1:04

Extremely excited! I kinda expect it to be breezy, but won't be worried if it's bumpy. Wouldn't fault him for some nerves

MochiBetts

1:04

Didn't get to see the game but he's 2-5 this spring for Texas

Paul Sporer

1:05

RE: Jared Walsh! I'm rooting for him. I was early to his 2021 breakout so I've always liked him

Hi Paul! I have the 4 pick in a points league, daily moves. Mookie Betts and his multi-position availability (2B, SS, OF) or Juan Soto in a contract year?

Paul Sporer

1:05

I've taken Betts 3x with top 5 picks this winter, so he's my guy! Especially w/the SS added in

(Not against a top 5-6 Soto pick, either, btw, just prefer Betts)

1:05

better keeper in a 12-team mixed league, Gallen in the 8th or Bibee in the 16th?

Paul Sporer

1:06

Bibee for sure at half the price!

Why in the name of all that makes sense will SF not sign an SP?

Paul Sporer

1:06

LOL, I don't know. Seems they're still talking to Snell much to Justin's chagrin

Heston Kjerstad

1:07

How many HRs would I have with 600 plate appearances in baltimore? Projections feel a little light bc of my myocarditis filled past

Paul Sporer

1:08

Huuuuge Heston fan, definitely think he could rip 30 if he got 600 PA. Unlikely to get that many PA, but I really like him when he does get a shot

Big Man

1:08

Is Manoah the new #1 SP? 10 team league that counts HBP instead of Ks.

Paul Sporer

1:08

looooooooooooooool yes

bob

1:08

12 team points league w 9 keepers. Who would you choose to replace Kyle Bradish as a keeper: Brayan Bello or Triston McKenzie?

Paul Sporer

1:09

Have Bello just a smidge higher due to McKenzie's health concerns, but they're a coinflip if you're willing to bet on McKenzie's health

The pitch clock has gotten shorter, any actionable adjustments you’re making because of this?

Paul Sporer

1:09

Nothing right now, but surprised they went that way with it and not adding a second or 3

Guest

1:09

10 team H2H OBP league keep 4 forever. Keeping Acuña, Julio, JRam. Torn on 4th, Harris II or Semien, who you got?

Paul Sporer

1:09

Semien for me. I just love our present day Ironman so much

Guest

1:10

Do you have any faith that Walker Buehler can return to form by the All Star break?

Paul Sporer

1:10

Not a ton, no. I think they'll slowplay him a good bit to be there for the stretch run and playoffs which is all they really care about

Sadish

1:10

Bradish getting hurt messed up my keepers (thankfully they're not locked in yet).

13tm roto 5×5. Keep three at round value, lose two rounds each season Strider locked in at 10; torn on my other two:
JRAM (1), Gallen (3), Reynolds (5), Kim (13), Bibee (13), William Contreras (13), Steer (13)
If I keep two 13s one is kept at a 12

Paul Sporer

1:12

Think I'm still going J-Ram in the 1st and then one of the 13th rounders: Contreras, Bibee are my faves

Adenolith

1:13

Any tools you use during the fantasy season (or draft season) you consider essential? For example, Razzball's Hittertron/Streamonater come to mind for me.

Paul Sporer

Probable SP chart. We've got ours at Roster Resource and Rotowire's is very popular, too --- https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/probables-grid

Guest

How much do you feel like your SP rankings would change by switching W with QS?

Paul Sporer

1:14

Not thaaaat much, tbh

Read the catcher updates. Is Adley 1 just because of the PA? Also, do you think JTR is going to keep running or is this the year he starts trending down hard?

Paul Sporer

1:17

Volume and upside. A repeat would be totally fine, but there's plenty of room to grow with AVG, R, and RBI being the best avenues. I think JTR gets double digit SBs and that's all I really need, even if it's just 10-12, which would be another dip from his 16 last yr

Josh

1:18

Why is Ohtani not a top 5 pick - what should his auction value be set all? Think he'll run more hitting #2 and does not pitching increase his hitting value this year?

Paul Sporer

1:18

People are afraid of him returning from injury and to fill their UT, but I have no problem w/him that high. He's an absolute god tier hitter and I expect more excellent from him
