Bryant (3rd) or Correa (24th Rd) for keeper. 10 team pts league w/2 keeper limit and snake draft...

Paul Sporer

2:38

It's gotta be Correa at that difference. Hell, if it was Bryant 3rd and Correa 4th, it'd be close, so this kind of disparity easily favors Correa

Hey Paul! What are your thoughts on Nomar Mazara? Top 30 OF?

Paul Sporer

2:43

Top 30 is perfect world breakout scenario

2:44

He needs to greatly improve v. LH, but I love seeing a 21-year old hold his own for 568 PA in the majors. I'm definitely investing.

Is Moncada worth a 15th rd pickup in a 10 team pts. league?

Paul Sporer

2:52

Ehhhhhhh

Sorry, had to take Charlotte for a moment

2:56

I personally wouldn't be looking to draft him in a 10-teamer

How do you feel about Garrett Richards? Can he produce with torn/partially torn ucl like Masahiro or too risky to gamble with?

Paul Sporer

3:00

I think he can, yes. I think he will be priced to buy, too

Hi Paul, is Andrew Mccutchen a good candidate for a bounce back in 2017?

Paul Sporer

3:03

I do, yes. I'm Team 2 and drafted him in the 4th round: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/the-sleeper-and-the-bust-episode-406-a-lockout/

Deep dynasty league, debating between Jorge Ona and Fernando Tatis Jr in first year player draft. Who do you prefer, and roughly where would you slot these guys in compared to some of the names taken in this year's Rule 4 draft?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Hmmm, I'd go Tatis I think

What are your thoughts on Giancarlo Stanton in a dynasty? Decent buy-low? Would have to buy at $50 in Ottoneu ($400 budget).

Paul Sporer

3:13

That doesn't feel like too much of a buy low, though. I have a hard time fully quitting Stanton, but I'm done trying to predict the full season 50 HR season

3:17

Are you excited about the sleeper potential of Peraza or Schebler in Cinci?

Paul Sporer

3:18

Peraza a bit just bc game-changing speed can be exciting, though I don't love SB-only kinds of guys. Even a breakout from Schebler is probably a slightly lesser Adam Duvall so I'm not TOO hyped on that

Happy New Year!

People seem to have lost their minds in my AL-only $260 keeper league, as a few GMs have already stated they will drop at least $50 to secure the services of Jose Altuve. I have had Altuve on my team for the last three years and won twice largely in part, but I can't actually justify dropping $50 on him, can I?

Paul Sporer

3:20

I can totally see him getting to $50 after inflation in an AL-only. He's popping $40+ valuations in mixed leagues, so pushing $50 in single leagues is viable. Some folks don't ever want to push that high and prefer to spread the risk, but I think Altuve, Trout, and Betts will all be pushing that mark in keeper AL-onlys

NL only keepers

3:21

Should I keep 1 or both of Shark and Jon Gray at $15 in $260 auction. For reference Cole and Arietta will be the top 2 pitchers available at the draft and probably get close to $25.

Paul Sporer

3:25

If SP is going to be scarce in the market, both are viable at $15. There's no a huge amount of profit to be mined at that price, but sometimes you lock down the innings at cost just to have them.

Brian

3:25

Expectations for gsellman this year?

Paul Sporer

3:27

He won't be in the rotation to start the season so I don't see a ton of work coming. There is obviously some health concern in the rotation, but I think Lugo is first to fill-in so Gsellman needs two spots to open. I'd say 60ish IP of upper-3.00s ERA

The late, great Abraham Lincoln

3:28

Clayton Kershaw, assuming no bad health news through spring training, should be the ______ player off the draft board this year

Paul Sporer

3:28

6th after Trout, Betts, Arenado, Altuve, and Bryant

Pomeranz

3:28

In an NL auction, would you keep either Strasburg or Degrom at $34?

Paul Sporer

3:30

Depends on inflation, but probably not. I LOVE Stras, but it's hard to bet on more than 150 IP at this point. deGrom is still a total stud, but the elbow is worrisome.

Biscuit

3:31

Any chance Hernan Perez manages to repeat 2016 or was that the absolute peak?

Paul Sporer

3:32

I'd be REALLY surprised. it's not like his skills were even that good for the 13 HR/34 SB season. I'm fading him even at a cheap price

Jamie

3:32

I know he didn't make your leap column, do you think this is could be the year the Trevor Bauer makes a leap and puts together a full year of good pitching?

Paul Sporer

3:32

Maybe, but we've got about 500 IP of more or less the same guy. I don't see a whole lot changing.

Biscuit

3:33

Who finishes with higher WAR this year, JQ or Alex Reyes?

Paul Sporer

3:33

JQ... JQ... why am I failing... Oh Jose Quintana!! I'd say him
