Healy or Sandoval?

Paul Sporer

3:02

Healy

How does Tim Anderson's speed tool compare to Billy Hamilton? Is he a sneaky source of SBs 10 rounds later?

Paul Sporer

3:02

It's a few grades lower. Anderson is probably 60-65 whereas Hamilton is honestly a 90 on a 20-80 scale

Carl

Is Wacha relegated to the bullpen this year? Seems like that would take away any fantasy value...

Paul Sporer

3:03

I don't think so, no

Pedro Cerrano

3:03

Brent Honeywell or Luke Weaver for this year?

Paul Sporer

3:03

Weaver. I don't think Honeywell pitches meaningful IP in the majors this year. He's 22 with no AAA under his belt

NL ONLY / 12 Teams / $260: put in order Broxton $15, Joc, $13, D. Santana $13 AL ONLY / 12 Teams / $260: put in order J. Dyson $15, Bird $10, Rodon $13, Stroman $6 (i'm keeping very good pitching already)

13 team, $300 budget. Got $27 Lester, $14 verlander, $18 degrom, $6 Duffy, $6 r hill, $8 Paxton. SP is super thin at this draft. It's kershaw, strasburg, Cole and then falls off. Would you look to flip Lester and free up salary, or stand pat and draft a few upside arms to fill it out? My offense is pretty loaded, but I'm only bringing about $85 to auction

Paul Sporer

3:05

If you can get fair value for Lester while saving some money, go for it, otherwise it's OK to hold pat with this nice staff and your stacked O

Danny

3:06

More important indicator for Harvey this spring: command, velocity or something else?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Velo and hitting his pitch thresholds (like if he's schedule for 35 pitches, let's make sure he's reaching or exceeding that... sometimes they'll let a guy finish a batter and go a little over)

Kooter

3:07

Dynasty expectations for Wacha moving forward?

Paul Sporer

3:07

It's all about health. This is a very talented arm, but health has been a problem. I still see a strong #3 when healthy

Dabo Dabo Sweeney

3:09

All else being equal in an OBP and SLG league..rank these: Pollock, J-Up, Yelich, JD Martinez?

Paul Sporer

3:12

They're pretty close. It's JD, Pollock, Yelich, Upton for me. JD's OBP is close to the others and his SLG towers over them

Pedro Cerrano

3:12

Isn't the hate on Dee Gordon a little strong? 300 BA, 50 SB, 100 runs all well within reason. He was a 2nd rounder a year ago....

Paul Sporer

3:13

He's still going pick 45, so it's not that severe. Didn't love him as a 2nd rounder anyway so I'm more comfortable with this level

3:15

Thoughts on Chris Archer this year? Would you take him or Verlander in a Dynasty? I'm in my contention window (finished second the last three years)

Paul Sporer

3:16

I really like Archer. I wish there was more of a discount, tbh. i would take him over JV in a dynasty. They're close enough in redraft that the dynasty aspect is enough to bring Archer ahead

Marko

3:16

Paul, you recommended Reyes, Weaver, and Wacha, but that's three guys vying for one rotation slot in St. Louis, isn't it?

Paul Sporer

3:16

How did I recommend Reyes? I just said I see him starting.

AlternativeFactMan

3:17

Paul: Gary Sanchez for Thor in a long term keeper. What side do you want to be on?

Paul Sporer

3:17

Oof, that's tough. I usually lean hitter, but I'm going Thor.

3:17

Hi Paul,

Correction, Hi Paul, who do you like better in AL only (steals and Average needed): Lorenzo Cain or Adam Jones. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

3:18

With your needs, it's Cain

3:23

Chat program being really weird today

kdallas

3:24

Assuming all $1 or $0 and a 7-player bench, in a keeper, which young OF do you like more? Renfoe, Tapia, Brinson, Meadows?

Paul Sporer

3:24

Renfroe

ChicagoCardinal

3:24

Arf Arf big dog. Ottoneu (fgpts) question: I've got 3 top 25 SP and a couple gambles, would you spread dollars around or buy one more stud? Greinke, Felix, Hamels all available.

Paul Sporer

3:25

I'd have no problem buying Greinke if he was reasonable, but I'd probably spread around with your situation

Judge Dredd

3:25

Hey Paul, any guesses as to what happens in the Atl bullpen this year?

Paul Sporer

3:25

If Jim Johnson is pitching like he was late last year, he could really hold it all year. He looked good

3:25

Thoughs on trading G. Springer for Trea Turner.
