Keep forever league: Last off-season I traded Trea Turner and Stroman for Bogaerts. How does that look a year out?

Paul Sporer

5:10

You're prob on the losing end at this point because of Turner's breakout, but Bogy is a stud so it's hardly a problem to be on the losing side here

Erstad was pretty awesome in 2000***

Paul Sporer

5:11

No doubt. Always liked power-speed guys and he was double-double from 97-00. Fell off hard after that '00 of course... prob why you put those *s

5:12

Erstad was pretty awesome in 2001

Paul Sporer

5:12

Oh wait

I thought you put the *s implying he had help in 2000 but I missed this msg

RE Greinke at home: in the 2H he had a K-B% of 1.3%. That led him towards a 4.37 FIP.

Paul Sporer

5:14

I was just eyeballing the gamelog from about June on and saw a lot of good starts. At any rate, that K-BB% is obv trash, but I don't think he'll keep a 15% K rate at home

Jon

5:14

Choose two for 2017 with 5x5 stats: Osuna, Davis, Miller

Paul Sporer

5:14

I'll go Osuna and Davis.

Jose Ramirez over Adam Jones and/or Jose Bautista in a keeper?

Paul Sporer

5:14

Yes

12 team NL only, Brandon Drury for Dan Straily. Fair trade?

Paul Sporer

5:14

Definitely

Brad

5:14

My obp hr example was freeman vs encarncion. I averaged the steamer zips projections for both.

Paul Sporer

5:15

Ah OK. So Freeman had the better OBP? I'm OK slotting him over EE for the reason I outlined, but also age. They're basically one spot apart, though, two at most

Moltar

5:15

Chances Reed takes the job in NY and never gives it up?

Paul Sporer

5:16

High that he starts the season with it bc of Familia suspension, but then I'd put it at 40% chance he keeps it. I think they like Familia enough to give him the role back

Ty Blach

5:16

Thanks for the love on the pod! I think I'll surprise some folks this year and collect some ROY votes

Paul Sporer

5:16

Eno definitely has me giving him another look

Aaron

5:16

I know Moncadas k's are a concern, but per statcast only about half his called strikes were in the zone. If his k rate was 40% instead of the 60% he put up last year, would that change how he's viewed?

Paul Sporer

5:17

I'm unmoved by 20 PA, no matter how good or bad. If people are making moves on him because of that, they're insane

Bahtolo

5:17

Khris Davis: got a chance to lead the majors in homers?

Paul Sporer

5:18

Certainly. Was only 5 away from it this past season

Jeff Zimmerman

5:18

Gausman. Stud or Super Stud?

Paul Sporer

5:18

LOL

Stud

5:19

with Super studliness on the horizon

Bradigan

5:19

Correa is great! Everyone loves Correa! But slim chance he plays 162 in 2017, right? Do you think Bregman will be seeing time at SS if Correa is not in the lineup?

Paul Sporer

5:20

Only 3 guys played 162 so ya, he prob won't. But his PT isn't in ANY danger

Marc

5:20

Scared that Glasnows future is in the pen? Granted he will be given every chance to start for the next couple of years but can he realistically get those walks trimmed way down?

Paul Sporer

5:20

Yeah, I'm not as gassed up on him as others. I just don't see him consistently keeping his mechanics at that height

Marc

5:20

Re Marte: Should be fine. No surgery or anything and the issues were pretty minor.

Paul Sporer

5:20

OK, good to know

will

5:21

do you think at some point a team may adopt a 7 man rotation consisting of all relievers with ridiculous k/bb ratios and swinging strike rates?

Paul Sporer

5:22

I think we're more likely to see the super RP role come back. Right now, guys are either 6 IP or 1 IP guys, nothing in between. Which is insane, tbh. I think we gotta get back to guys who are 2 and 3 IP guys.

Start getting some RPs up over 100+ IP regularly

Ben

5:22

What side do you take on this trade- Duffy or Piscotty+McCullers?

Paul Sporer

5:22

Piscotty/Mc
