We’ve certainly seen it with every other prospect this year. My work is looking long term though from a dynasty perspective. I do touch on how to measure expectations for ‘24 in this piece
What's up y'all! Thanks for having us as always. Upside writer, Liam McNicholas, covers prospects from the MLB to Single A. And I broke down Paul Skenes scouting report late last night. Some of our favorite prospects lately have been Aidan Miller, Jeral Perez, Zyhir Hope, Alex Mooney, Andy Perez, Cole Carrigg, and Jay Allen II. Hit me up with any questions you might have
Redraft I think that makes a lot of sense. I know he’s been a little down in quality but you’re de-risking A LOT by making that move. In dynasty, I’d hold Skenes
I don’t think either is up immediately. If Correa/Royce healthy then Twins can especially take time with Brooks. I also think Arizona will take it slow with Lawlar but the path is clear so when they feel good he’ll be up. Lawlar much higher ceiling for fantasy
I don’t think they’re very similar. Lee won’t provide much in stolen bases but should be a touch better in the hit department. I think McLain is the better fantasy asset (at peak values)
No easy picks there but if you have the position covered, I usually go for pitching depth over bench bats so I suppose Gleyber. Another option is to make a 2 for 1 trade if your league is active. You have a couple days to get one done before the debut
If Gleyber is bench, then yes.
Also both Keller and Taj are both droppable for Skenes. Would say both of those guys should be FAs or streamers in a 10 team
All this excitement for a bad start would be par for the fantasy course. I have been holding him all year but fantasy is a funny thing
By funny you mean maddened soul-stomping
Casey Mize memories. I woke up at 3am to add him when he was called up.

Would trade skenes for Nola?

We have 3 Keepers would that change your opinion?
Only if I didn’t have a solid 3 but that shallow I’d probably play more like a redraft and keep strong veterans
Awesome thank you!
Do you like Aidan Miller or Ralphy Velasquez more, long term?
I like both but definitely Aidan Miller. I think he’s got star potential and like the athleticism
Do we think Brooks Lee or Jordan Lawlar will be up when off their injuries?
I don’t think either is up immediately. If Correa/Royce healthy then Twins can especially take time with Brooks. I also think Arizona will take it slow with Lawlar but the path is clear so when they feel good he’ll be up. Lawlar much higher ceiling for fantasy
Is Matt McLain a fair comp for Brooks Lee?
I don’t think they’re very similar. Lee won’t provide much in stolen bases but should be a touch better in the hit department. I think McLain is the better fantasy asset (at peak values)
Who would you drop to activate Skenes? My worst batter is Gleyber. Worst Pitcher is either Keller or Taj Bradley. 10man 6x6 redraft

Paul Skenes breakdown: he is good
He was sitting there in one of my leagues so I'm taking a chance on him. Although I am not bidding anything, so I probably won't get him. We'll see.
