Buxton

2:52

What are your thoughts on Buxton this year? Worth taking over Odubel?

Paul Sporer

2:52

Post-hype prospect, totally understand taking him over Odubel if you're a believer.

St. James

2:52

Paul - 30 team dynasty roto Billy Hamilton gets me two top 100 prospects, including one in the top 25, yes or no?

Paul Sporer

2:52

If the market will yield it. You can't MAKE the market bend to your will

Matt

2:52

Keep up to three (and give up drafts picks 1-3 for each keeper). I'm keeping Goldy easy. Is G Sanchez a good second keeper, or should I throw him back and pick in the second round?

Paul Sporer

2:52

Depends who you'd keep in his stead

Tommy

2:53

I think we all know the real March Madness is ShiNTS......

Paul Sporer

2:53

Don't get the ShiNTS! (perfect timing after a Gary Sanchez question) http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/market-watch-dont-get-the-shints/

O Dizzle

2:54

If your starting lineup for fantasy baseball has 9 hitters and 8 pitchers, shouldn't you spend a ratio of 60/40 on hitters/pitchers instead of 70/30?

Paul Sporer

2:54

There are many who question the 70/30 split even with a traditional 14 hit/9 pit lineup

Colin

2:54

Maikel Franco or Odubel Herrera in standard dynasties?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Franco

O Dizzle

2:54

Do you think Andrew McCutchen can bounce back from last years disappointment?

Paul Sporer

2:54

I do, in fact

Neal

2:54

More likely that Schoop progresses or regresses?

Paul Sporer

2:55

I actually think he stays flat, but between those 2 options I'd say regress since he played 162 last yr

Can of Corn

2:55

1 keeper league, should I go with Corey Seager or Trea Turner?

Paul Sporer

2:55

Turner for me

dog

2:55

More Life supposed to come out tomorrow. Are you a new Drake fan?

Paul Sporer

2:56

A new Drake fan? I'm an old Drake fan (and get shit on a lot for it, lol). I'm pretty psyched, I hope it's out at midnight since I'm a night owl and could listen while writing and gaming tonight

Not That Zimmer, man

2:56

Does Zimmer become fantasy relevant this year or do the K's hold him back this year and his whole career?

Paul Sporer

2:56

Really keeping an eye on Bradley Zimmer in CLE. Greg Allen, too. Naquin could be demoted by May or June this year

Mike

2:56

Gimme a position player and pitcher that you're going out of your way to get in standard leagues, your "gotta have" guys if you will.

Paul Sporer

2:57

Addison Russell and James Paxton

Big on Marcell Ozuna in OF, too

Pie

2:58

How would you feel about targeting Broxton on a team that already has Trea and Altuve?

Paul Sporer

2:58

I'm cool with it. SBs easy to trade

Max

2:59

Trade Murphy for lemahieu and Brinson? Keeper format and can stash brinson in my minor league slot

Paul Sporer

2:59

Yeah, that works

A couple of you have asked your question 5+ times. I hate you.

Jay

2:59

Carlos Martinez's velocity spike move the needle on his value at all for you?

Paul Sporer

3:00

Already had him top 20. I did move him to 16 in latest update, but that was more due to reshuffling of others as opposed to specifically Martinez hype, but I like him

Hector

3:00

Paul, my draft is on Monday. I've spun around a few strategies in my mind and keep going back and forth. What do you normally do when this happens? I feel like I should just go with my gut.

Paul Sporer

3:00

Def go with your gut. If you can't settle on a firm plan, take what the draft gives you

Gavin

3:00

Sorry about Desi Paul, your enthusiasm had me right up there with you. :( is all I can say, really.

Paul Sporer

3:01

Such a bummer, right? Not just the fantasy aspect, either, I just hate when these dudes get hurt. Always want to see these guys at their healthiest

Mike

3:01

I really enjoyed your Fading Aces article. No question here, just thought it was a darn good piece.

Paul Sporer

3:02

Thanks so much! I will take that opportunity to link it for anyone who may've missed it - www.hardballtimes.com/fading-aces-why-the-non-kershaw-studs-arent-worth-it/

Max

3:02

Thoughts on hosmer this season in a contract year? Will he live to Freddie Freeman type numbers is he more along the lines of Brandon belt 2.0

Paul Sporer

3:02

Meh, more Belt than Freef
