I don't see a STEEP decline. I think we stop looking at him as a big volume guy and tab him more as the 30-100 guy over 140ish games... so 25-85... and work down from there if you think he's closer to 130 games or whatever. But the skills shouldn't just go away

Gentry

3:18

Where do you rank Wil Myers amongst 1B next season? Top 5?

Paul Sporer

3:19

I have a hard time doing that bc it requires a repeat in the SBs and he certainly hasn't shown any reason to believe he's definitely a 20-something SBer each year. I'll still be investing as heavily as I did this year, but I'm planning for more of a top 10 1B and ideally I get him at CI after a stud 1B earlier on

Moltar

Does Wade Davis step right back in to the closer role? Herrera has been soooo good for me lately, I'd hate having to drop him for a lesser skilled reliever, but saves are saves.

Paul Sporer

3:21

Moltar, one second... update first

To the deGrom asker earlier, I'm a little more worried now: https://twitter.com/AnthonyDiComo/status/771800973857652737

3:22

Re: Davis, I think he'll be eased in as opposed to just given back the ninth. Herrera as you mention as been so elite and they're right back in this. I realize healthy Davis is elite, too, but they can't really risk it and give him some key ninths without knowing he's fully back. Hang onto Herrera

Nick

Sorry, should have clarified that. It's keeping 15 out of 20 so close to dynasty, and Rodgers could be a prospect slot and open a roster spot post-draft

Paul Sporer

3:22

Ah ok, then go ahead & keep him w/kins

gern cranium

3:23

Dynasty league no salaries, keep forever. In the playoffs, 14 team H2H 5x5 cats but need to open a roster spot to activate a player off the DL. Thornburg, Ottavino, Wade Davis or Lackey needs to go....thoughts?

Paul Sporer

3:25

Ooh that is tough. Thorn and Ottavino have been so good. I know SVs impact is usually muted in H2H so I'm actually gonna say Davis here

I still worry Davis is on the path to TJ

AL Pitching Coach

3:25

Are Kluber and Verlander top-5 arms in the American League next year?

Paul Sporer

3:25

Yes, I'd say so

John

3:25

Sitting on Leon Broxton as my bottom of the roster guy to get steals in a week where I'm tight in that category. Only have two more adds available for the year and firmly in the playoffs. Worth it to drop Broxton and add Buxton for a speed option with more upside? Or hold onto my adds to stream pitchers in a tight playoff matchup? Thanks and happy holiday!

Paul Sporer

3:26

Sure, I can get behind it. The Ks have caught back up to Broxton (.621 OPS last 2 weeks, .297 last week w/44% and 64% K rates)

Dee Gordon

3:27

Droppable in redraft 12 team OBP?

Paul Sporer

3:28

Ya, busted season for sure and even him getting back on track for this month wouldn't help as much in OBP

HappyFunBall

3:28

Keep Trevor Story as a Round ?? player in a 12xMixed next year?

Paul Sporer

3:28

Anything after 5? I know he's got K issues and they aren't likely to go away QUICKLY, but Coors covers so much and that pop is legit

Toki

3:28

Should I feel bad that I ruined Markakis' name for Eno? I mean I always heard the name pronounced Mark"in"kas not Mar"cake"is. So I was spelling it Markinkas and apparently that ruined his name for Eno.

Paul Sporer

3:29

LOL I'm so confused.

Beast

3:29

Wily Adames, Isan Diaz, both, or neither as $2 keepers going into next year in Ottoneu 4x4?

Paul Sporer

3:30

Just Adames for me, but I don't play Ottoneu so I don't feel as STRONG when spec'ing on minor lgers for that format

Joseph

3:30

About to have Kershaw come off the DL -- which SP do I cut to make room: Gausman, Eickhoff, E. Rodriguez or Wainwright? Still have Darvish, C. Martinez & Archer.

Paul Sporer

3:30

Rodriguez

Inconsistency and injury issues

3:31

Hey y'all, we gotta do a tight hour today. I've gotta get the pod edited, my piece posted, and another project for another outlet. So we have about 15 more minutes

Minty

3:31

Moncada was striking out a ton in AA, but has a ton of speed and power. What're you realistically expecting from him this/next year? Trying to decide if I hoard or deal him in my 10 team 30 man roster OBP dynasty. Already have Arenado/Bryant/Correa.

Paul Sporer

3:33

Great pt re: the Ks (31% for those unaware) and he's skipping a level. I think the smart money is on him not going all Seager/Bryant on the league. Let's be honest, that's ALWAYS the smart money. I think he'll be a solid fantasy asset bc of the power-speed-lineup as long as he's given the playing time, but I'd sell now at a value peak.

Dave

3:33

You keeping Josh Bell for $1 in a 12 team OBP?

Paul Sporer

3:39

Sorry, that didn't stump me, I got a call. We'll go til 3:55 to make up for it. I'm torn on that, but I'll lean yes as a CI

Beast

3:39

Kennedy, Musgrove, Hellickson worth keeping at $3 after inflation in Ottoneu 4x4?

Paul Sporer

3:39

Ehhhhh, I don't love any of that

Johnny

3:39

Dahl just got dropped in my 10 team league. Is he a 10 team starting OF ROS?

Paul Sporer

3:39

Ya, I'd think so

Justin Upton

3:39

Hi Paul, I'm feeling the groove now after taking a long nap for the first 4 months of the season. What's my outlook for 2017?

Paul Sporer

3:42

It's really two and a half bad months. June was in the error bar of projections, July was good, and 2nd half of August was fantastic. I think he'll be low to mid .800s OPS next year

Rusty Baker

3:42

Down by .5 points in 12tm roto dynasty. Have 102 SBs. Top 2 have 105. Could make up 2 points in SBs. Would you trade Castellanos and B. Zimmer for B. Hamilton?

Paul Sporer

3:43

Yes, flags fly forever! I'm in
