if "punting Catcher" (spending $1,) ok with betting Hedges to start the season, or gotta $1 guy you like better?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Not a bad $1 gamble, if those AAA gains are legit, he's playing all year

Mike P

3:10

Glover has looked really good for the Nats, but I just don't see "Dusty" (of all the managers) giving the closer role to a rookie.

Paul Sporer

3:10

Completely fair

Matt

3:10

If you had to choose between Goldy and Harper, but didn't happen to have an old coin, how would you decide?

Paul Sporer

3:10

LOL

Take Goldy

Sam

3:10

Can Tyler saladino hold off moncada is it only a matter of time he gets called up?

Paul Sporer

3:10

I think he can, actually. Saladino will get PT and I just don't think Moncada is ready

Can o' Corn

3:10

Is Urias worth drafting knowing he won't start the season with the Dodgers?

Paul Sporer

3:11

Depends on league and roster sizes

mario mendoza

3:11

What's Gregory Polanco's triple slash upside? I haven't seen an OPS projection north of .800. I'm tempted to go get him based on hype, but in a league that doesn't value steals, an under .800 OPS ain't great.

Paul Sporer

3:12

Upside is .360/.520 IMO

Jay

3:12

You bumping Carrasco down with his swollen elbow? I'm stuck between chancing it with him or playing it safe with T. Frazier or even Quintana as my 8th keeper (12 team H2H).

Paul Sporer

3:12

Ya I bumped him down. I'd go Frazier.

Gavin

3:12

Would you rather read a plus plus question five plus times or five plus questions plus one more once?

Paul Sporer

3:12

lol

Mark

3:12

Give us one thing we need to know going into drafts that will give us an advantage

Paul Sporer

3:13

Ignore ADP for the most part and take the guys you want where you're comfortable taking them. Don't be dumb and take like Dylan Bundy in the 2nd round bc you love him, but if it's got a 20th rd ADP and you like him best in the 16th, take him, bc it only takes one other competitor to merk you and cost you your breakout player

kdallas

3:13

Rupptown Funk Gon' Give it to Yu . . . yay or nay?

Paul Sporer

3:13

LOL yes

Brian Kelder

3:13

Mike Montgomery worth a flier as this years Kyle Hendricks? Better than Lackey?

Paul Sporer

3:13

Not so much this year's Hendricks, but I like his skills for sure. I'm taking the flier.

Emma

3:14

Sorry, pitching is Quintana/Gausman/Roark/Sonny Gray/Nola/Urias, RP are Betances, Dyson, Barraclough, Diaz. Did i do okay?

Paul Sporer

3:14

The RPs should cover your SP Ks deficiency, but you're going to need to stay active on the wire. Gray has me worried, Nola has healthy risk, and Urias won't pitch all year. It's a workable foundation for sure.

Brian

3:15

In a deep keeper what to make of Almora? Looks to be a 450 PA at least guy. Him or Bundy? (20 team keep 11)

Paul Sporer

3:15

Prefer Bundy, but Almora's defense will get him burn. Not sure it's 450 PA, though

jack

3:15

Your big on drury - would you take him over Thames in a points league

Paul Sporer

3:15

Ya, I would

3:15

What do you think of Maeda in a keeper league? Have we already seen his best?

Paul Sporer

3:15

I like Madea a good bit, tbh. I think he can stay strong another couple years. Would take Taillon in the long-term, though (re: your other Q about them)

3:16

Just a few more, y'all

Lupe

3:16

any glimmer of upside w/ Luis Perdomo?

Paul Sporer

3:18

Ya, I think so actually! Solid velo, 3 pitches, and opportunity

Dave

3:18

Any chance Tanaka can get to 200 Ks this year?

Paul Sporer

3:19

Definitely. If he continues to stay healthy, Tanaka is an unquestioned stud. His only has issue has been if the elbow will fully explode. It's a pretty big issue mind you, but the talent isn't in question at all

Moltar

3:19

Lamb: overcooked (first half) or undercooked (second half)? Or do we get it perfectly medium?

Paul Sporer

3:19

Undercooked was bc of a lingering hand injury IMO, so healthy Lamb yields something closer to 1H all year (35+ HR)

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

3:19

Do you play vs any of the chatters in The Show?

Paul Sporer

3:19

I do sometimes on twitch (twitch.tv/psporer24)!
