Yo yo yoooo!!! Let's talk some baseball!!!

Akil Baddoo has some pretty incredible stats for an 18 year old in the Appy league. Think he's the type of prospect that can really shoot up lists in dynasty circles?

Paul Sporer

2:34

:Googles Akil Baddoo:

Ohhhh THAT Akil Baddoo

2:35

I'm sorry, I know literally zero about him and I don't wanna pretend and mislead you

Dusty

2:35

Anything to report on Twins SS Prospect Wander Javier?

Paul Sporer

2:35

Fuck, we're off to a rousing start

:Googles Wander Javier:

2:37

Jokes aside, I'm not great on low minors guys. My bandwidth covers all MLB for sure, usually know a few things about most of the top 100 prospects, and then some AA/AAA guys. I just don't have the time to be deep into the low minors

$200 QS/OBP with 5 OF. $2 Castillo or $4 Conforto? have Kluber/Thor/Nola/JGray and Betts/Springer/Belly/Hoskins/Robles and loaded IF.

Paul Sporer

2:39

daaaaamn that's tough. I'm gonna go Castillo as I'm still a little concerned about Conforto's shoulder, though not to the level I was when the injury first happened and it was doom & gloom

Can a team wanting to sign Ohtani legally offer him an opt-out of the contract in say 2 Years? How about a no trade clause? Thanks

Paul Sporer

2:45

I think things are too up in the air on that right now. I gotta imagine they can sign him under whatever the posting system ends up being and then offer him an extension at some point after that.

I'm not sure they can do it like RIGHT after he signs, though

When's Stanton getting traded

Paul Sporer

2:45

West Coast really seems to be his preference and he's in control with the his no-trade clause

2:46

I know SF has a shit system, but there's enough talent in any org to get a deal done so I wouldn't rule them out just bc they lack Top 100 guys

10 team, 12 keepers as round 1-12 picks. Have probably 14-15 I'd be comfortable keeping so would like to try to make a move for a star and consolidate. Thoughts on Yelich+Andrus as an interesting starter package for Altuve or Betts?

Paul Sporer

2:52

I'd go for Betts as his price might be down a touch given his batting avg this year while Altuve is sky-high. And yes, I think that's a start. I don't think it'll get it done necessarily, but it's not insulting to start there

John

2:52

Is there any FA more ballpark or league dependent than Cargo? Out of Coors, I think he needs a small ballpark and with his defense, be in the AL. I could not be less excited for him on say the Mets or more excited if he were on the Astros.

Paul Sporer

2:54

Always interesting to see how a Coors guy will do outside of Colorado after being there so long. He is a legitimately good hitter when he's right, though, so don't discount the possibility of a solid campaign in some new digs. Don't forget, there's a Coors Hangover on the road that offsets some of the home field gains. Obviously Coors is a great place to hit, but it's doesn't really turns losers into studs.

Slade Cecconi seemed to put together a great year at Trinity Prep, what would you project for him in 2021?

Paul Sporer

2:54

I hate you

Purple Mays Haze

2:54

Possible that Brad Peacock actually becomes Astros' "closer" in 2018? (Or at least gets most saves)

Paul Sporer

2:55

He'd have the stuff to do it, but I think it'd be wasting an asset to limit him unless it was 2-inning saves. He's a perfect 110-140 IP kinda guy

Quadrangular

2:57

any advice for starting up a dynasty league? platform? # of roster slots? rules and regulations? thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:59

I'm hoping a veteran dynasty leaguer in the chat can field this one as I'm not even in such a league rn and feel ill-equipped to give a good answer

Man, I'm just doling out so much useful info today!

Electric

How do you feel about Chad green as a starter?

Paul Sporer

3:01

Having not known much about Jordan Montgomery coming into last year (I now love him), I was rooting hard for Green to get that 5th starter job. I dig Green and think his stuff can really play in 4-6 IP stints.

David

3:02

Who are two to three top of the rotation SP prospects I could target in a dynasty league with the potential to reach the majors this year? Buehler/Kopech?

Paul Sporer

3:04

I'd have Honeywell above them, but those are two good ones, too.

I like Justus Sheffield and Mitch Keller, too

3:04

Quadrangular, just go to Ottoneu

Paul Sporer

3:06

I am in an Ottoneu league and we just did arbitration which was soooo fun. You have $X (I think it was $25) and you dole out between $1-3 per team adding to the costs of their guys. Obviously you target young, cheap guys (everyone hit me on Bellinger)

Joeeeee

3:07

Do you see Acuna getting picked in drafts next year? If so, how high?

Paul Sporer

3:07

He went 8th rd in my league in Arizona a couple weeks ago. Now that league is known for reaching, it's just kinda what we do, so I don't expect him to ADP in the 8th rd, but he'll go in every draft. Probably 10-13th round area

Sam

3:08

ANYTHING TO REPORT ON MARIANO DUNCAN?

Paul Sporer

3:09

We signed him to our softball team. It's a 1-year make-good deal. He's gotta prove something to us

Johnny

3:09

Can keep 12, who gets left out: Mazara, C Taylor, Elvis, Paxton
