Love all the SP getting drafted in the first few rounds

Paul Sporer

8:18

It surprised us, but we got our guy so we're good

Mike R

8:18

Ugh why a closer so early

Paul Sporer

8:18

We like lockdown closers who can push 100 Ks

Why Giles over E.Diaz, Osuna, Melancon, etc?

Jeff

8:19

I see you drafted Giles in Rd 6, just two spots after Britton went. Was that because you were concerned Giles wouldn't be available to you coming back in Rd 7?

Paul Sporer

8:19

Just putting all the Giles q's in at once so Jason can chime in

Jason Collette

8:20

We have waited too long on closers the past 2 years. Giles is the top guy on our board this year and we've talked about him ad nauseum on the podcast. When you hear the pre-planning show tomorrow, we go into it even more.

After the awful April, Giles was as good as every other closer out there IMO

Todd

8:20

if youre set on Desmond. Why not wait for Dahl?

Paul Sporer

8:20

Desmond is light years more stable. I love Dahl, but not ahead or equal to Desi

BaseballNut

8:22

Why turner over machado, Rizzo, etc? SBs primarily? What are the counting stafs

Paul Sporer

8:22

SBs are def the separator between those others. It was Harper or Turner, so our choice was made for us

TreaCool

8:22

Looking forward to it!

Paul Sporer

8:22

Welcome to the team, Trea

PaulyOH

8:23

Look, I love Trea Turner and have him on one of my teams, but I still think he's got way too much risk to be a first-round pick.

Paul Sporer

8:26

I'm not sure he's all that risky, tbh

if he goes 10 HR/40 SB with gobs of runs and a .280 AVG, we're OK

Seth r

8:28

JD Martinez seems low, right?

Paul Sporer

8:28

Ya, he's a little underrated

TreaCool

8:28

What other teams you liking so far?

Paul Sporer

8:28

Like what Erickson is doing. Ray of HQ always puts together a strong unit

Clint G

8:28

Has anyone surprised you guys with how far they've fallen?

Jason Collette

8:28

Dammit....really wanted Eaton

Paul Sporer

8:28

Not yet, but also haven't had a lot of time really sink in on it

Jeff

8:28

Would you guys have drafted Verlander in Rd 5 instead of Hanley if Verlander was available? I'm assuming Paul was crossing his fingers that was the case

Paul Sporer

8:28

We might've yes

Todd

8:28

Lemaiheu next?

Paul Sporer

8:28

Too early for 2B. It's so deep

Randy

8:29

I knew you guys would pick Votto and Price. Guess I listen too much

Paul Sporer

8:29

Wait until you hear the prep pod, we were all over them

Lougle

8:29

What do you think about Syndergaard and Sale on the wheel?

Paul Sporer

8:29

Alan is another team I'm liking. Sexy ace-duo w/Trout

Guest

8:29

Paul you're a Tigers dude. Any signs of Miggy slowing? He just keeps on cranking out the stats...34 isn't old enough to expect a big decline

Paul Sporer

8:29

Not really, no. http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/you-should-take-miguel-cabrera-in-the-first-round/

anonymous

8:29

I love that Turner will be eligible at 2B, OF and SS this year

Paul Sporer

8:29

We do, too

Jason Collette

8:29

We talked about Hamels there when Russell went and then Hamels went 3 picks later. I'm going to mope about not getting Eaton for awhile

Guest

8:29

Trout/Syn/Sale... looks nice to have 1.1 this year
