Hellooooo!!

Cronut Burger

2:03

Would you be so kind as to share your thoughts on Bregman vs Benintendi? I have to choose between the two in my AL-only keeper league and I’m super torn. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:04

I understand being torn, I totally get that. I've been taking Bregman earlier as I think he'll have a little more punch, but honestly it's a preference kind of pick in an AL-only. If you want a firm answer: Bregman.

JD Martinez (20th round) or Freddie Freeman (10th round) in a keeper league? Rounds are nice for JDM, but Freeman three years younger.

Paul Sporer

2:05

Freef is younger, but JDM is hardly old at 29 and it's 10 rounds!! I gotta go JDM.

Tony

2:05

Jurickson Profar has eligibility at five positions and makes for such an ideal late round flier. What do you expect from him this season?

Paul Sporer

2:07

.260 and a double-double and of course the upside for much more as he is still just 24 years old. Automatic late rounder IMO

AL-only Guy

2:07

There are literally no steals available at my upcoming 11-team $260 AL-only keeper league auction. As a result, Jean Segura is likely the guy being targeted by all the GMs in my league. I have very good keepers, so I can afford to overpay up to a reasonable amount. I really need him to shore up my speed, so what's the very, very most I can drop on him yet still sleep at night?

Paul Sporer

2:07

$32-35? Inflation is probably already in play at a general level and then you're adding more bc of the SB scarcity.

Robbie

2:07

Please rank: Holliday, Haniger, Ellsbury, Souza, Pillar. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:09

Holliday and Pillar my favorites, but Haniger is on the rise and will jump in the March update for me: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/february-rankings-outfield/

How much does resolution on Kang's legal situation in Korea boost his stock in your 3B rankings?

Paul Sporer

2:10

Not much. He could still get an MLB suspension, but even if he doesn't, he's in a group of similar 3B so he might move up within that, but I'm not moving up many rounds at large

Willie

2:10

Hey Paul - Like everyone else, starting to notice S. Miller a little. Would you drop DeSciafani (my SP8) to take a shot with him? Thanks

Paul Sporer

2:11

I wouldn't shut up about Miller last year and that blew up in my face, but I'm actually staying aboard the hype train (which is completely empty except for a guy who fell asleep). I think Disco a WYSIWYG kinda guy, so ya I'd take a shot on Miller's upside. I was already the high guy on Miller in our Feb ranks and he's going up in March

Chad

2:11

Thoughts on Gerrit Cole vs Rich Hill. In an 18 person points league and have to choose between Cole for $17 or Hill at $10.

Paul Sporer

2:12

Still a huge Cole fan and think he has ace potential if healthy, but the health is uncertain so with the savings, I'd go Hill.

2:12

There's been some sneaky DJ LeMahieu helium hidden in a few FG and RG articles last couple weeks... what's not to like after pick 80 or so in 5x5?

Paul Sporer

2:13

Ya the only thing against DJLM isn't even related to him, it's that the position is deep. But in the 80s, he's a solid pick

Prodigy

2:13

Is it in my best interests to drop the required $10 on a guy like Vogt/Beef Wellington in an AL-only, or can I get away with $1 flier on Gomes/Zunino/J. McCann?

Paul Sporer

2:14

I drop the $10. Endgame closers are the single worst investment you can make. They almost always lose money.

RLC

2:14

In an NL-only using QS instead of W, should I keep $11 DeSclafani or $6 Gsellman?

Paul Sporer

2:14

Gimme Gsellman at half price as Wheeler's health remains an issue Gsell's stock rises

RyGuy

2:14

What a way to while away the last remaining minutes of a week, PAULY THE BEST!

Paul Sporer

2:15

Thanks! :)

Hockey Fan

2:15

It seems like what separates Cruz and K. Davis is .40 in AVG. How do you put a value on that? For example, how much more for Cruz should I pay at an auction?

Paul Sporer

2:16

It's probably worth around $10, but then chop a few off to counter the age difference, so I'd say $7-8 split

Eric

2:16

Thoughts on Brock Stewart?

Paul Sporer

2:16

I haven't given him a strong enough look to have a concrete opinion, but Eno is hyped on him

YKnotDisco?!

2:16

What music do you have going through your head right now?

Paul Sporer

2:17

It's not going through my head, it's playing right now. My new heat:

bl27

2:17

+ / - 170,5 IP for Rich Hill and Lance McCullers ?

Paul Sporer

2:17

Combined? Over. I think they can make it 250.

2:18

Individually, under for both. I've got Hill for 130, Mc for about 150 ... I know that's 280, the 250 was conservative

2:18

16 team keeper league (keep 8 forever)...my Edwin for his Schwarber. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

2:18

Fair for the keeper aspect, much prefer EE this year, though

John

2:19

2C league, McCann worth keeping over an upside play like Bundy?

Paul Sporer

2:19

You mean Bandy? James or Brian McCann?

2:19

Thinking of going with eno's recommendation of getting a top five pitcher and than pairing him with a couple SP "fours". Who would you target in that grouping? Norris, Eickhoff, Bundy, Cotton?

Paul Sporer

2:20

All of em! Big fan of that group. We discussed Eickhoff yesterday on the pod and I got re-hyped on him. I liked him after '15, but ignored him last yr https://t.co/Ce8IQdwBZy
