CL in Col ......Holland or Ottavino? SP Gsellmann or Andriese ?

Paul Sporer

2:29

Ottavino. I think Andriese is the way to go.

Hannah Hochevar

2:30

Hey Paul! Thanks for passing my question along to Jeff "Where You Gonna Run To" Zimmerman. You can delegate with the best of 'em.

Paul Sporer

2:30

Haha thanks, I hope you liked his piece!

Derek

2:30

Always been a big fan of Drew Hutchinson, i think i'm an even bigger fan now that he's in Pitt. They can't actually think Nicasio or Kuhl are better options do they?

Paul Sporer

2:30

I think Nicasio is done starting, but Kuhl is going to get a shot. I'm still in on Hutch, too, though

Jason

2:30

Paul. Which SP core is better for 17 team league: Kershaw, Hamels Rodon, Cotton or Salazar, Hamels,

Paul Sporer

2:31

This seems incomplete

Jason

2:31

that q cut out early. Please don't answer LOL

Paul Sporer

2:31

Whoops, missed that

Jason

2:31

Would you rather have Kershaw plus a 34-51 ADP type guy or a Hamels/Salazar combo as the top two guys on your staff

Paul Sporer

2:32

Definitely the Kershaw pairing. Even taking the low end of that, it's him and Samardzija v Hamels/Salazar (http://hosted.stats.com/mlb/adp.asp?pos=SP Shark is 51st right now)

Diego

2:32

roto keeper league, choose one? $4 Y Gurriel or $12 Semien

Paul Sporer

2:34

This one's tough. I like Semien, but I'm not sure he's worth 3x, especially given the MI depth. I think I'll take the savings and go Yuli

Bagwell

2:34

Keep forever - Ed-Rod, Keuchel, Odorizzi, Robbie Ray

Paul Sporer

2:34

Odorizzi, I still think there's another level

Nelson

2:34

Otto league, keep strass at 40$? Almost every top pitcher is kept no matter what the price

Paul Sporer

2:34

Take a shot. It's a gamble, but the payoff is still massive

Penguin

2:35

Biggest difficulty when creating rankings?

Paul Sporer

2:35

Ignoring ADP and just sticking to what you truly believe

Minty

2:35

Moncada/Springer for Dahl, or same logic against Turner or Story?

Paul Sporer

2:36

Ya I'd take Turner or Story over Dahl. Love all three, but the price seems too high

Marty

2:37

Why are so many people higher on Clint Frazier than Tyler O'niell? O'niell by the numbers is just better and 1 year younger. Am I wrong to let Frazier go to the highest bidder in a Dynasty Format and just gun for O'niell?

Paul Sporer

2:39

Just hype difference between a 1st and 3rd rounder

2:40

So if you see them similarly, then yes you should let Frazier get taxed and take O'Neill instead

Jeff

2:40

What're the odds that in fantasy Moncada turns out to be Baez? 50%?

Paul Sporer

2:40

Like a utility defense-first guy for this year? That's certainly possible. But we have no idea what Baez truly is so far

David

2:41

Any chance Brandon Finnegan fixes his homer problem?

Paul Sporer

2:42

Ya, it can be a fixable issue for sure. His park doesn't help, but refined command happens all the time for pitchers

old spartan

2:42

Can you make a case for 'keeping' Urias and bumping any one of Arenado, Trea, Stanton, Freeman or Polanco in a 'keep forever, point league'?

Paul Sporer

2:42

I cannot

Dago

2:42

Brandon Belt: Same amount of Barrels (https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast_leaderboard) as Arenado, Carlos Santana and Stanton. Posseses more barrels than Rizzo, Lamb Martinez, Cano and Dozier. Better wOBA than Edwin Encarnacion, Seager and Beltre, among others. Should we read between the lines for Belt? I know the "this is the year" narrative has been out forever, but is this the year?

Paul Sporer

2:46

I just think the home park stifles HRs too much so even when he SLGs the same home and away, it's 2B/3B at home and HR on the road

Guest

2:46

Do you have a favorite MiLB pitcher(s) that you're irrationally in love with and am willing to invest heavily in for the long-term? I'm obsessed with Honeywell and I just can't help myself.

Paul Sporer

2:48

After seeing Honeywell at the Arizona Fall Lg, I totally get that. I don't have any obsessions right now, but I still like Robert Stephenson. I also like Luke Weaver and David Paulino

David

2:48

Aaron Nola or Lance McCullers?

Paul Sporer

2:49

I just love McCullers' upside, but his health is scary and even though Nola also had a health issue last year, I've still got him a little higher

Ken M

2:52

i just followed my ex from a few years ago on instagram. she had beef with that. fair or foul?

Paul Sporer

2:52

She got mad at you following her? Then just unfollow, you don't need the drama. You're exes for reason, right?

Zigs

2:52

How many innings from Alex Reyes can we expect this year? Does he get to 150 ks and a WHIP of 1.25?
