If you're only taking Thames to trade him for a player in the vein of the others you might draft, you might as well just cut out the middle man and take the prospect in case Thames flops

El Toro

2:23

If I draft Thames and Healy, at least one of them will work out as my everyday 1B right? (6x6 with OPS)

Paul Sporer

2:24

Is Healy playing 1B? I'm good taking both, though

Brad

2:24

I know you aren't a prospects guy, but doing 1st ever minor league draft. Do you have 5 guys you like? Much appreciated.

Paul Sporer

2:25

Beni, Swanson, Robles, Brinson, Zimmer and bonus: Honeywell

Jimmy

2:25

Hey Paul, Thanks for the chat. I love the auction calculator tool you guys have. If anyone hasnt already, they should definitely check it out. Would it be possible to add a QS option for the pitchers under the points based system on the calculator?

Paul Sporer

2:25

Thanks so much. I'll mention it and see if we can get it added

Dave

2:25

In a 20-team mixed league, where would you take Ian Desmond?

Paul Sporer

2:25

4th-5th round.

2:27

Hector

2:27

Would you be fine with replacing a mid-level SP with Andrew Miller for his stellar ratios mainly (my H2H league employs, ER, ERA, WHIP, K, S, W)?

Paul Sporer

2:28

Sure. Miller is a stud

Stiguana

2:28

Ken Giles + Sam Dyson+ JBJ for King Felix + Desmond H2H points, which side you want?

Paul Sporer

2:28

hmm, prob side B, but it's fair

Jay

2:28

What do you attribute Charlie Blackmon's decrease in SB and SBA? Do you think given age expecting 20 attempts should be the new norm or do you think we'll see an uptick in steals by him again?

Paul Sporer

2:29

Choice, mostly. Nothing else really changed

Tip Tipson

2:29

AL only Keeper 12team $260 - Trade Trumbo $18 for Judge $8... What are your thoughts on Judge?

Paul Sporer

2:30

No. I've never been huge on Trumbo, but I'm really tepid on Judge. I know he smashed a HR today, but I think he'll continue to struggle with Ks

Tex

2:30

Everyone taking mookie over Goldie...Why? Goldie's had a down year last year(for him) and was still awesome.

Paul Sporer

2:33

Ya Goldy was still a total beast. I think it's probably just the perception of more bankable speed, but Goldy has 15+ SB in 4 of the last 5 (the other was injury shortened to 109 games) and it's not like Betts is swiping 30+ every year. In short, I get what you're saying and I'm totally fine with Goldy > Betts

Tip Tipson

2:33

NL Only Keeper - who would you rather have: peraza or A. Diaz?

Paul Sporer

2:34

Depends how much speed you have. Again, I'm not huge on Peraza, but if you're slow elsewhere, he will at least run

John

2:34

Not a knock on the community but every season we have the hot rookies or late call ups that kill it and the next season the experts are all over them. Now we have a new 1st-2nd round name in Trea Turner. believed you drafted him over Harper. Why are we always falling for this? Why are we chancing these guys over proven studs?

Paul Sporer

2:34

Didn't draft him over Harper

2:36

Who has ever done what Turner did, though? Regress his power and AVG, add SB, R, and RBI and how is he not a top pick? Espec w/2B, SS, and OF eligibility.

John too

2:36

In a 12 team keeper league with decent inflation (approx 10% in the past) would you keep either Odorizzi and Richards for $12?

Paul Sporer

2:36

Odorizzi. Still a little nervous about Richards

franz

2:36

Is Puig+Moncada a fair starting point for Posey in Keeper? (10tm roto, keep 12 as first 12 rounds).

Paul Sporer

2:37

I think so, yes

Mike

2:37

H2H league with OPS+Holds. I can keep 3. Lucroy(8th), Cano(2nd), K Seager(5th), Correa(1st), Mazara(11th), Piscotty(14th), Khris Davis(19th), Healy(11th), Scherzer(1), Maeda(15), Hill(11), Salazar(7).

Paul Sporer

2:37

Seager, Davis, and Hill I think

Adam

2:38

In a 12 tm 5x5 H2H league most guys set their rotations to either 7 SP 2CL or 6 SP 3CL. What do you think about doing 5SP 2CL 2MI (where the MI's are Miller/Betances types)?

Paul Sporer

2:38

Maybe just 1 CL and you kinda forfeit SV, but try to crush ERA, WHIP, K, and still compete in Ws w/6 SP (and even some sneaky Ws from Miller and Betances)

Randy Savage

2:39

Have some tough keeper choices I was hoping you could help with (12 team OBP Keep 6): David Price or Jacob deGrom; and would you keep either over Bregman, Sano, or Benintendi?

Paul Sporer

2:39

Price and Bregman. I know the Beni hype is through the roof right now and I honestly wouldn't shade you for taking him over Bregman, but I'm just big on Breg

Connor

2:39

I've found that so far, I've been drafting 1st basemen in later rounds. What are some good targets in the later rounds. Or are there some good targets earlier on? Currently, I've mostly been drafting Tommy Joseph and Kendrys Morales.

Paul Sporer

2:41

I think you're taking too much of a hit to start Joseph at 1B. I like Morales think he'll be sneaky strong this year. If I can't get a stud, I prefer the Abreu, Hanley, Santana tier personally, but later I'd look Nap, Bour, and the aforementioned Joseph, though they really work better as your CI

Peanut

2:41

Thoughts on Panik? Should we expect him to keep the BB% and get that BABIP back up into the .300s? At a glance, everything from 2016 looks good, except his BABIP cratered.

Paul Sporer

2:41

yeah I'm huge on Panik at his rock bottom price. really looks like some bad luck with his BABIP. still has great skills.
