hey yall!!! let's chat! can't embed Vimeos, but unfortunately my song of the day isn't on youtube https://vimeo.com/192855847

Hannah Hochevar

Why are the O's only signing players named Logan? And not even the good ones?!

Paul Sporer

3:05

LOL are there any good ones?

Dal

3:07

Where is Dexter Fowler gonna end up?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Tex, StL, and Tor are my picks in that order

Jason

3:09

Dynasty points league: Bautista, Kepler, Teoscar Hernandez, and Victor Martinez for Goldschmidt?

Paul Sporer

3:09

I like getting the superstar player. Doesn't seem too gaudy of a pricetag either. Lock it in!

Anthony

3:09

James Paxton is going to win the Cy Young. Remember this comment, Paul.....

Paul Sporer

3:10

Did the new CBA change Cy Young requirements to be for pitchers with fewer than 150 IP?

3:11

Don't get me wrong, I love Paxton's talent. And his mechanical changes this year were great, but we gotta see him stay upright

Buddy the Elf

3:11

Greetings from Austin! do you think Springer is in a deal for Archer or Sale? Sign EE and Sign Hill!!

Paul Sporer

3:14

Hey Buddy! Austin FTW. I think they'd try hard to NOT include him, but I don't think a deal for either of them can be prospects only. It'd take a big centerpiece like Springer or Bregman

CA Poke

When drafting multiple teams for a fantasy season, do you try and draft a lot of the same players for each team or do you try and mix it up more? Specifically wondering about NFBC format.

Paul Sporer

3:16

I do often end up with a core of players across the many leagues. If I believe in them, I want multiple shares. Plus, I really don't want to be cheering for every outcome. In football, I'll diversify bc it's so damn brutal with injuries and you can get burnt pretty badly if you just get the same RB/WR everywhere, but I find that less so in baseball, especially with hitters

SPG

3:16

Is a 35 Hr follow up season for Carlos Santana unrealistic?

Paul Sporer

3:19

No, I think he can do it again. His 17% HR/FB was a career-high, but hardly exorbitant (and he's hit 16% twice). He is sneakily one of the more durable guys out there (152+ gms every year but 1 since '11... and 143 that "off" year)

Hi Paul. I'm a first time OttoNeu player with a bottom half team and $126 for 9 players. I already have Bellinger, Rodgers and Yadier Alvarez. Should I load up on a couple studs and a bunch of $1-$3 kids or spread the money out?

Paul Sporer

3:21

I'd rather get studs and if you're not ready to compete this year, then sell them for the $1-3 kids with a better idea of who the good ones are instead of spec'ing on a bunch yourself

Lou

3:23

What would a trade for starting pitching look like to you involving the Cubs?

Paul Sporer

3:24

They're still so talent-rich that they can go a number of ways, but I think it starts with an Ian Happ

Jerry DiPoto

3:25

The floor is all that matters... At least, that's what my moves mean

Paul Sporer

3:25

I don't have an issue with your moves, generally speaking

big boy

3:25

Hey Paul - thoughts on a springer for benitendi? I can keep springer next 2 yrs @$16. Benitendi is $1 for this year (and escalating $5 per year next year). Many thanks man!

Paul Sporer

3:26

Ooh that's a really even up deal. I think I'd go for Beni. I love Springer as a player, but he needed a boatload of PA (MLB high 744) to do not THAT much

JD15

3:26

Cubs and rich hill? Match or no?

Paul Sporer

3:27

Folks of a certain age might not know that he was with them during their last World Series win before this year's

OK, not that long, but he did start there. That's not terribly relevant given that they have a completely different regime, but yeah I could see them doing it, tbh.

JD15

3:27

Re: Cubs and Hill. Seems like with Montgomery as a safety net, they could gamble on hill, especially with Otani not coming next year they dont need to save

Paul Sporer

3:28

Ya, that's completely fair. I guess it depends just how much they love Monty as SP

if they're deadset on it, then they'd be unlikely to make a big trade or sign Hill.

Minty

3:28

10 team 30 man roster OBP/QS have Bryant/Rizzo/Betts/Arenado/Correa/Springer/Beni/Thor/Urias/Stroman. Hold Moncada or deal for pitching?

Paul Sporer

3:29

Hold. Deal for the SP in-season if you need it. But don't acquire a buncha pitching prior to the season

Gary

3:29

New CBA totally shafted international players. Do you think this singlehandedly delayed Otani coming to the majors

Paul Sporer

3:29

So weird how deadset they were on screwing over int'l players somehow. I haven't fully read how it affects Otani, but I think latest word has him slated to come over next year regardless?

Eric

3:30

Just made this trade to get Bryant in my ottoneu 5x5 league, how'd I do? Had a roster crunch and needed to consolidate talent. $38 Bryant + $8 Oh for $16 Springer + $7 Danny Duffy + $6 Alex Reyes + $4 Bradley Zimmer

Paul Sporer

3:30

That's a strong move for talent consolidation. You paid, as you should for KB, but you still got the best player and a closer I REALLY like in Oh

Sulzer

3:34

What are your thoughts on Peraza at MI if I've got Gordon and Villar at 2B and SS. Solid infield?

Paul Sporer

3:35

Hella fast! You need A LOT of power to counter Gordon and Peraza, but I like the speed base you're building, espec. if you plan to trade it in May/June when you've built up a lead

JD15

3:38

Am I the only Cubs fan that is open to trading Schwarber? I love him and I think he can be a great Outfielder, I doubt his stock is ever higher than it is (now COMING OFF a torn ACL). Plus, this allows Soler to get an opportunity to be a a very solid OF instead of just dumping him at a low value.

Paul Sporer

3:39

I think fans are definitely more against it than the org themselves. I think this front office knows that very few players are untouchable in the right deal and there are deals out there that'd be good enough to include Schwarber
