do you see Joe Musgrove with the Astros to start the season ?

Paul Sporer

3:04

Probably not, but Morton is hardly a bastion of health

Launching Padre

3:04

Any idea long will Kang will be suspended for?

Paul Sporer

3:04

No, I'd imagine something like a month, though

Peanut

3:04

Are you buying Shelby Miller as a bounce back candidate?

Paul Sporer

3:04

I am, actually. It certainly can't be worse... can it? CAN IT?!?!!?! AHHHHH

conforto

3:05

have the mets ruined me

Paul Sporer

3:05

Haha, no... not yet

Ted

3:05

How do you value elite closers in saves+holds leagues? Aroldis Chapman is ranked between 40-50 in saves leagues, where would goes like him ranked in saves+holds leagues?

Paul Sporer

3:05

Still rank them at the top and don't really change their draft slot too much. The very best closers are still elite bc of the ratios and Ks

Drew

3:06

Strange question - in my 16 team league, 30 man rosters - If I roster six relievers (Melancon, Britton, Dyson, Cishek, Phelps, Will Smith) am I hurting myself long run not having more starters or deeper bench bats?

Paul Sporer

3:06

I could see maybe keeping Phelps in case he gets thrust back into the rotation, but I'd rather not keep Smith and Cishek

Choo Choo

3:06

I'm competing, but would you move Arrieta for Jon Gray and Urias?

Paul Sporer

3:06

I can get behind that, yeah.

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

3:07

In regards to your texts not going through comment, that's actually not true. I had a period where my texts weren't going through because several people told me they weren't getting them. One person in particular would never lie to me so it does happen. But I promise not to repeat this.

Paul Sporer

3:07

OK, I think your one off example proves it then! :)

Dave

3:07

12-team mixed, keep 5; trade an 8th round Desmond for a 22d round Dahl?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Ya. I love Desi, but gimme the cheaper Dahl

Boberto

3:09

Has there been any research done on what impact the K percentage of heart of the order guys has on a leadoff/#2 hitters likelihood to steal? Ie do teams that have lots of big sluggers that strike out often (or conversely have great contact hitters) run more or less? Would think the big K teams would run less to avoid double play BR curious about your take

Paul Sporer

3:09

Hmm that's v interesting. Haven't seen any study on it, but maybe I'll see if Pod or Zimm wants to do something on it

3:09

Keep Bogey in 5th or Duffy in 14th? Analysis- Bogey. Gut- Duffy. Paul-.....?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Duffy for me

Dicky Thon

3:09

AL only 2 catcher- 10 teams- no bench- 4x4 (no runs, no k)- Is Evan Gattis, Edwyn Diaz, or Adrian Beltre my final keeper? (Altuve, the real Krush Davis, EE as the other 3)

Paul Sporer

3:10

I think I'd go Gattis, tbh. Surprising myself answering that way, but 2 C only leagues are tough. I think he'll find playing time so I'm not worried on that end.

Edwin

3:10

Better dynasty choice - W. Myers or Bregman?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Oooh that's interesting. I think I'd Breg bc of Myers' injury history

Mama

3:10

Can keep 4 of these sp for 1 year in 16 team league 5x5 that starts 6 sp. $270 budget. Most of the top sp will be kept. Arrieta 24, archer 16, Hendricks 11, quintana 10, Moore 3, descla 3, rodon 1, Cobb 1, and Conley 1. Don't get cute and keep the top 4, right?

Paul Sporer

3:12

Archer, Hendricks, Q for sure, but I might keep Rodon over Arrieta with the savings. That's probably getting cute, though. Arrieta's health track record is my concern, but he could put up a $24 season in 150 IP. I'm torn on that last one.

The Duda

3:12

10tm H2H dynasty would you trade Bettts for Correa and Benintendi?

Paul Sporer

3:12

i would, yes

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

3:12

Shallow 10'team 5x5, our pitching lineups are 3 SP, 2 RP, and 3 P slots. I've found that using all 3 P slots for closers helps dominates saves. Should I fill them will dominate closers by drafting them early or fill them by committee whoever is the flavor of the month?

Paul Sporer

3:12

If you're going that, go with good ones so you also get the Ks and good ratios

The Duda

3:12

What type of SP would you give for Schwarber in a 10tm keep forever obp and ops league? I offered Felix. He came back w/ Kluber. No way in my mind.

Paul Sporer

3:13

Ya the thing is, the asking price will be huge and you probably won't want to pay it.

Max

3:13

Is Cody Allen going to be an effective closer in H2H leagues even with Miller stealing a couple? I hate having a guy who is not used for all saves opps.

Paul Sporer

3:14

I wouldn't worry. If he keeps performing, he's going to get his 30+

Enlightening Round

3:14

Steamer projects Josh Beckett to have 1 inning this year. Who does he get that inning with and how does he get to the 4.28 ERA they call for?

Paul Sporer

3:14

lol

Mike

3:15

Thanks for answering my longwinded crappy keeper question. Im simming seasons on the show and watching baseball on my tv. Baseball!
