Bill

Taillon or Paxton?

Paul Sporer

3:32

Paxton, but Taillon is getting a major jump in my updated rankings that will come out next week

Eric

3:33

Apparently Springer is working with the Astros coaches on his base stealing, and he was a very good base stealer in the minors. Can he go 30/20 this year? 30/30?

Paul Sporer

3:33

He could, but I also heard something that had ppl worried bc he was saying he'd only go in certain situations and it sounded like SBs wouldn't be a priority

Ben

3:33

You still a believer in Addison Russell? Think he will hit for a respectable average this year?

Paul Sporer

3:33

Absolutely, not deterred at all. I do think he can start adding to the AVG

Aziz

3:34

How do you think saves will break down in Miami? Think Ramos holds the job? or gets traded if the Fish aren't doing well?

Paul Sporer

3:34

I really like Ramos, so I think he will. But if he falters, I think Ziegler gets a shot

Michelle

3:35

4x4 12-team AL only last keeper. $5 Healy or $22 Kipnis?

Paul Sporer

3:35

Healy

$$$

3:35

How much does an OBP league boost Bryce's value at auction?

Paul Sporer

3:35

I'm not letting him get too deep in any league type, but he's definitely top 5 in OBP

D-Nice

3:35

is Haninger worth a flier in a 10 team H2H league? Seems like he could bat 5th or 6th and be a nice OF5 or 6.

Paul Sporer

3:36

Depends how many reserves, but Jason and I are definitely hyped on him

3:37

Jose Berrios and Amir Garrett

Jimbob

3:37

Any recommendations on in season management apps/ sites to help manage multiple teams.

Paul Sporer

3:37

Whoops answered the Q before posting it lol

Marte

3:37

Your Fading Aces article was interesting. You seemed to point to the really high HR/9 rates playing a big role in the reasoning. Wouldn't Thor's 0.54 HR/9 rate make him even more appealing as a late 2nd rounder?

Paul Sporer

3:38

Ya as I mentioned, I totally get all of the Thor hype, but it is still a strong bet on a guy with 333 MLB IP who has had a balky elbow at times and an arsenal that could portend future issues. But I don't question the talent at all

Junior

3:38

Why is everyone so down on Junior Guerrera this year?

Paul Sporer

3:38

Not a rich track record of 31-year old rookies going HAM

High Cheese

3:40

How do you think Odor will do with adult braces? Does this increase or decrease his value? Also, have you ever had braces and/or headgear?

Paul Sporer

3:40

Could really cut his lips if Bautista exacts revenge. I did have braces in high school

Buddy

3:40

You have your choice of one or the other. Polanco or Margot and Velasquez

Paul Sporer

3:40

Polanco, but it's a fair deal

alan

3:41

keeper for next two years only: Dahl or Moncada

Paul Sporer

3:41

Dahl, even with the injury

Kevin J. Enright

3:41

I moved Wade Davis $3 and Dallas Keuchel $1 for C-Mart $5 in a H2H Points league. How'd I do?

Paul Sporer

3:41

Fine

Earnest

3:42

Excluding Betts, Trout and Altuve, who are your top 5 AL fantasy bats?

Paul Sporer

3:42

Machado, Miggy, Donaldson, Correa, and Cano

Frenchy

3:43

So they turned off the gun for Harvey's start today. I hear he's in the low 90s. Results were better, but I couldn't watch because of no feed. Sounded like there were some hard hit balls. I have him as a keeper, so I guess I have to roll with it. Any insights about whether I should be worried about him as a #2 in a 20 team mixed? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

3:44

Ya, I'd have some concerns as a #2. I'm just worried about thoracic outlet guys in their first year back. Love Harvey in general, but just not on him this year

Minty

3:44

I feel like this could be Benintendi's peak trade value in an OBP keeper, agree?

Paul Sporer

3:44

Yep, the hype is sky high right now

Marte

3:45

Do you play in any innings capped leagues? Any strategy changes/thoughts for them?

Paul Sporer

3:45

I do and basically Ks becomes K9 and then I have ZERO interest in low K guys regardless of cost

#thegameisbeauty

3:45

Hey, Paul! RE: your HardballTimes piece, does the logic need to be tweaked in a H2H points scenario? Would performance consistency in the SP1/SP2 ranks serve to justify the cost of the top non-Kershaws, or is this just perceived scarcity creating unjustified desire? Thanks in advance. =)

Paul Sporer

3:46

I could certainly see it being different in H2H where SPs are a lot more valuable even if they are just logging solid innings.

HammelPants

3:47

I must decide on keepers by this weekend, help me Paul Sporer, you're my only hope. Benintendi $5, Altuve $43, Bregman $5, Diaz $5, Carpenter $5, Kluber $19. Can only keep 3! Who do you keep from this tasty lot?
