Villar -- Segura was really helped by his environment. I don't think he completely craters, but he's coming down

Chris

3:25

anything to worry about with bregman? or is he a legit .280 20+ HR guy right now?

Paul Sporer

3:26

Lack of experience, but I think he has "it". I was just really impressed with how he handled his debut slump and then took off the rest of the way. Common comp is Dustin Pedroia, but I saw it immediately, too, even before reading ppl saying the same. It stands out. So he really could be an insta-star.

with Kiermaier, Souza, Dickerson and Rasmus, Mallex Smith value is now very low ? Dickerson a platoon player again in 2017 ?

Paul Sporer

3:27

Ya he's a platoon guy. Even in Colorado, Dickerson didn't hit lefties

Sonny

3:27

Is Joc's low SB totals at MLB level a function of LA philosophy or a personal change in Joc's approach? That power with 15...20...SBs

Paul Sporer

3:28

I think he's learning how to steal in the majors. And I could definitely see some instruction to not run much right now while he learns how to hit at the majors. I still believe we'll see a speed burst, so ya I think he could go 30 HR/15 SB this year

Dynasty- Addy Russell vs Dansby- who do you keep, which do you try to deal?

Paul Sporer

3:28

In a dynasty, I think you have to deal if you don't keep both. I'd go Russell as my keeper and then trade Dansby

James C

3:31

In a 12 team H2H Cat with OPS and K/9, would you trade Arrieta for Cruz? No keeper penalty and I could use the additional power I think.

Paul Sporer

3:32

I think that's a fair deal. Cruz has been incredible the last three seasons and doesn't get his due

Chuck

3:32

In your wildest dreams, could you keep Villar over Lindor? Those 60 SBs seem awfully enticing and the power shouldn't drop precipitously in Miller.

Paul Sporer

3:33

I'm taking Villar over Lindor in drafts right now so I certainly could. Even if Villar comes down to .265 and 13 HR, I think it comes with 50+ SBs.

Let's not forget that Villar is just 26 years old, too. Hardly some crusty vet.

Sonny

3:34

Stashed Eloy, Meadows, O'Neill, Bellinger & Zimmer in a 10 team keep forever but want to open up a roster spot or two before the draft. There's trade interest in Meadows so I could get something but the other 4 would most likely be straight cuts can you rank? 5x5 w OPS

Paul Sporer

3:34

Zimm, Belly, O'Neill, Eloy -- I think Zimmer is up this year for CLE

Greg

3:34

What makes you love Kevin Gausman?

Paul Sporer

3:35

I'm a sucker for splitters, but I also love his elite velo, size, and control. Needs to hone the command and start stifling HRs, though

Chris

3:35

Odds that Roark can continue being a soft-contact god?

Paul Sporer

3:36

Strong. I'm not sure we're seeing another sub-3.00, but put a 3.30-3.50 projection on him and enjoy a boatload of innings

Connor

3:37

How many games do the Padres lose this season? I think there a 100 loss team

Paul Sporer

3:38

I think the talent gaps are tighter leaguewide so I *feel* like we don't see as many 100-L teams (just one last year). That rotation IS awful, though, so I get what you're saying. If I say 95, it's splitting hairs because any projection has like a 7-10 variance, so I can see it

3:40

Considering buying Bradley Zimmer. His 90th % is __(player comp)__, and the chance he reaches it is _______? Chance he busts is ________? Worried about the K's, but I know he was playing hurt/tinkering a lot of last year?

Paul Sporer

3:41

90% is like Blackmon 2014-15 perhaps minus a good bit of AVG since he wouldn't be in COL. 40% reach, 15% bust... interesting mad lib, but these are admittedly guesses

Dr Angry

3:41

Kanye is still the best rapper in the game. Come at me.

Paul Sporer

3:41

I love Kanye

Nick

3:41

2017's Villlar is?

Paul Sporer

3:41

Still really good

Guest

3:42

Why no SP Guide this year?

Paul Sporer

3:44

Lots of work to be done to put together a great Draft Kit for RG!

Big Z

3:44

How many more years will goldschmidt be a 1st round pick?

Paul Sporer

3:44

Justino

3:45

If two fantasy teams in a default/generic league format consisted entirely of one team Cubs, one team Dodgers, who would be the better team?

Paul Sporer

3:45

Cubs. More dynamic offense

Tom

3:45

10 team NL only league , start 9 pitchers- keep Matt Harvey at 20 ? Normally he would be worth about 29 , but coming off an injury and bad season

Paul Sporer

3:45

If you have to make the decision before seeing him in spring, then no. I'm just worried after the thoracic outlet surgery

Ian

3:46

think Hwang gets some regular PT at 3B in SF? His highlights are entertaining

Paul Sporer

3:46

Ya bc they can slide Nunez out to LF

Seansy

3:46

I just traded Michael Brantley in dynasty for picks in our rookie/int'l intake draft. Please talk me off the cliff for my buyers remorse and please tell me why I did the right thing.

Paul Sporer

3:46

I think you're fine. I'm worried about his health. Backs are a bitch. #backsareabitch
