Ooh damn, I think Brinson, but I fell in love with Bellinger at AFL.

Not sure if that's really Eric or someone trolling, but real Eric will be on The Sleeper and The Bust podcast next week talking fantasy-viable prospects

Re: Colby Rasmus - Weed Wacker, def Weed Wacker

Paul Sporer

4:19

That's true. Ditch the razor and go full on Wacker

Big Tuna

I have Trea as a keeper and he'll have 2B/SS/OF eligibility? Should I consider him as a SS or keep Addison in 14th and slide Turner to OF? Is he as valuable there?

Paul Sporer

4:20

I think he's actually MOST valuable at OF, so I would still keep Addy with him

Mike

4:24

Renfoe or margoe 15 team

Paul Sporer

4:24

Renfroe, but it's really preference of pwr v. spd

Koby

4:24

It seems like most experts seem to be predicting a plateau or regression from Yelich. But he lowered his GB rate while showing elite HR distance. Seems strange that a 25 yo isn't getting more hype as a guy who could take another step. What am I missing?

Paul Sporer

4:26

Didn't drop his GB% THAT much and needed a 24% HR/FB rate. I think it's just a little tough to automatically see improvement after last year. I'm a fan for sure, but I see more of a repeat then true growth

Big Tuna

4:28

Sorry, I accidentally hit send with a typo, and I'm an English teacher, so I couldn't allow that.

Paul Sporer

4:28

Hahahaha, OK. I accept that!

Big Tuna

What's the best way to get rankings advice in a specialty league, like OPS or AVG or SV/H?

Paul Sporer

4:28

Auction calculator has those stats - http://www.fangraphs.com/auctiontool.aspx?

Matt

4:28

Keep Lester in Rd7 or Britton in Rd12? 10-team H2H. Was leaning Britton, but recent injury news has me 2nd guessing.

Paul Sporer

4:30

Britton. I try not to overreact to the early season bump and bruise news. I think he'll be fine.

Nick

4:30

Is there a tool that you can input your projections + adp/auction calculator that spits out the best possible team?

Paul Sporer

4:31

Hmm, not that I'm aware, no.

Probably bc it's impossible to do that in a draft. ADPs are just averages and there's way too much variability

Dago

4:31

Rendon or Justin Turner? Projections (pecota, steamer and zips) have them close. Preference?

Paul Sporer

4:32

Rendon for me, but it is a preference thing

Paul Sporer

4:32

You are the man!

Paul Sporer

4:32

Thanks!

Enlightening Round

4:32

Does Colby Rasmus' new Amish beard have any fantasy relevant powers we should all know about?

Paul Sporer

4:32

lol contains at least 3 extra HRs

Paxton

4:32

Improved OF defense.
One of the worst LOB% in 2016 (111 of 118 pitchers with 120 IP)
.347 BABIP should improve. (117 of 118)

3.00 ERA possible.

On the opposite side Hard hit rate is 117 of 118 pitchers with more than 120 innings

Paul Sporer

4:33

Ya it was a more control than command last year so he got hit hard sometimes, but I think he sharpens the command with his new velo and takes off

Mike

4:33

Thanks for the chat Paul! 20-team 5x5 w/OBP, three-year cap on keepers ... Max Kepler $7 + Dylan Bundy $7 for HanRam $15, all entering their second contract year. Which side ya like?

Paul Sporer

4:33

No prob! Fair deal both sides, but I'd go Hanley personally

Big Tuna

4:34

Do you see any growth potential for Piscotty?

Paul Sporer

4:34

I love Piscotty, but I don't know that there's a ton of growth off of '16. I could see him adding some AVG up to .290ish, but otherwise I'm just eyeing a repeat

A. Reitz

4:34

On a scale of 1-10, how excited are you for MLB The Show 17, my body is ready. New ball physics and what appears to be a more realistic size OF is a game changer...

Paul Sporer

4:34

I'm so geeked for it

bearproof

4:35

I'm going to compensate for all the people asking their question multiple times by only asking half of my ques-

Paul Sporer

4:35

lol

Trainman

4:35

hey Paul! Hope your well happy fake baseball is here. Last keeper in An AL only: berrios or Vogelbach? $2 each.

Paul Sporer

4:35

So happy about baseball being back! Gimme Berrios!!

Dago

4:35

I saw your exchange with baseball guys (Ray) about Stanton. I'm a believer, but feel that K-Davis can be the Wal-Mart version. Would you agree? Do you like Crush with a K this yr?

Paul Sporer

4:35

I do agree with that, yes. Good name for it, too.
