The problem with my proposed extremely top heavy draft is I'll have a really boring 2 hours in the middle where I need to not get too drunk

Paul Sporer

4:36

hahaha, that's true. never a worry for me since I don't drink anymore, but a valid concern for some

Trainman

4:36

Oops forgot to add on to my previous question, my league has OBP as a category

Paul Sporer

4:36

Still Berrios

Hank

I read something the other day saying that an 80 hitter with below average tools everywhere else has no value, not even as a pinch hitter. How is this so? Wouldn't an 80 hitter at DH be something who leads the league in batting average every season? Even with 0 home runs and 0 steals, isn't that very valuable?

Paul Sporer

4:37

So like 80-grade contact basically if we're saying 0 at power?

Ya I gotta think it'd still have value

Trainman

4:37

my fantasy team is 0 for 9 so far. Panic? Oh wait..it's only spring training

Paul Sporer

4:37

lololol

Big Tuna

4:38

Who are some SPs you're targeting late as SP5 or 6?

Paul Sporer

4:39

Cotton, Wacha, Cobb, Guerra, Folty, Finny, Lynn, Miller, L.Weaver, Skaggs, Norris, T.Anderson, and Berrios

Pineda higher than Nola in an earlier ? Interesting...

Paul Sporer

4:39

3 spots apart - virtually nothing - http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/february-rankings-starting-pitcher/

Big Tuna

4:39

The projections for Thames are crazy. What do you expect of him? Where would you target him in a draft?

Paul Sporer

4:41

He was INSANE in KBO so the translations are strong. I think he can go .265-30-85-10

Jobu

4:42

Last 2 keepers in a 12 team h2h 7x7, big rosters: bell, buxton, peraza, Domingo, Quintana ? Thanks

Paul Sporer

4:43

Q and I think Buxton ... maybe Peraza if you prefer, but Buxton's ceiling is lit

Ryno

4:43

Think Benintendi could evolve into a Mookie Betts/Trout type guy?

Paul Sporer

4:43

That's a bit much

Trainman

4:44

On fantasy sports radio today, George Springer said he will steal bases "when the situation says I'm supposed to." Is 15 SB his ceiling? Or should springer owners be only expecting 10? Or am I reading too much into this since I just woke up?

Paul Sporer

4:45

I try not to overreact to the SB talk on the high end or low end in spring, but ya it seems like he's suggesting he'll be around the 15 range as opposed to 25+ which is what his speed could yield. When your lineup is that stout, you can't run into outs

4:45

@BigTuna I use this formula - Auction Calculator + Gut + Paul + Eno / 4 =

Snowflake

4:45

Ugh... I'm still so torn about Gary. I know it's wrong, but it feels so right

Paul Sporer

4:45

Commit to it

What kinda slash line should we expect from Brinson in a typical peak year from him?

Paul Sporer

4:49

Well if it's a peak year, it's not typical. So peak I could see like a .295/.360/.520 kind of explosion - so kinda like Manny Machado last year. Typically, I'm thinking more .270/.340/.480 - so kinda like Justin Turner last year.

Why is everybody so down on Arrieta? Isn't there an insane ceiling paired with a high floor for him?

Paul Sporer

4:50

I don't think everybody. But I kind of am and it's bc of health. He doesn't have a great health track record so that's where my concern comes from. His BB% did spike last year, too

If you're committed to stars and scrubs approach in a standard 12 team league, how much of the $260 do you allocate to lets say the top 6 guys on your roster?

Paul Sporer

4:50

Like ~$180-200?

A. Reitz

4:50

30 Team Dynasty ROTO, Holds and OPS league. My Arrieta for Quintana + Pineda. I'd save about $10M

Paul Sporer

4:51

I'm good with that

your buddy kevin arnold

4:51

standard 5X5 12 man auction keeper league ($300). trade $10 odor and $20 arrieta for $22 machado? i would replace arrieta with a $23 verlander.

Paul Sporer

4:51

Ya I'm in on that

Playin' Games with Swihart

4:51

I can't decide if I'd love you or hate you in person.

Paul Sporer

4:51

LOL

4:52

Interesting

Tom
