Paul Sporer

4:16

I'm the high guy on him - http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/march-rankings-update-starting-pitche... - 8 K9 is reachable, but I think a solid ERA and a low WHIP is where his value comes from

Chad

4:16

I know Charlie Morton is real, but is he FOR REAL?

Paul Sporer

4:17

It's allll going to come down to health, something that has eluded him throughout his career. But I buy the skills and changes that have yielded the new velo

Tig

4:17

Better bet for holds this year -- Arodys Vizcaino or Bruce Rondon?

Paul Sporer

4:17

Rondon

Waka

4:17

If Kiermaier continues the BB increases couldn't he basically be Michael Brantley lite?

Paul Sporer

4:18

Very lite as it relates to Brantley because I don't see the AVG getting higher than, say, .270, but I do like KK a lot

Chad

4:18

Is Amir Garrett worth a flyer in a 12 teamer?

Paul Sporer

4:19

Watchlist in 12 team unless you have a huge reserve roster (like 8 or more)

dave in slc

4:19

man..my AL auction got crazy and my pitching is anything but solid. Lets just say I need a good year from your Detroit boys Boyd and Norris!

Paul Sporer

4:19

I'm intrigued by both for sure. I think at least one pans out

MarinerDan

4:19

Is Glasnow ready to do big, big things as soon as this year?

Paul Sporer

4:20

Not in my opinion. Command is going to be an issue at that size

JD15

4:20

Are you buying or selling Skaggs and Shelby Miller?

Paul Sporer

4:20

Can buy either at their low cost, but prefer Miller.

baby bull

4:20

Cobb,Pineda,Shoemaker,Skaggs,Cotton,Boyd,Bauer,Morton who are my starting 5? ERA,WHIP,K/9

Paul Sporer

4:22

Pinata, Shoe, Cotton, Cobb, and Morton (use Morton while he's healthy!)

Brian

4:23

What does Drury look like for a full year? Did I read right that he's in the two spot in the order?

Paul Sporer

4:24

Hadn't seen anything on #2 spot, but that'd be awesome for his R/RBI. I think he can go .270/25 with those R/RBI being dependent on lineup spot

Buff

4:24

Andrew Toles or Aaron Altherr?

Paul Sporer

4:24

Toles, but I have shares of both

Peter Pyle

4:25

Wanting to trade my Gregory P. for a SP 1 for 1. Can you give me an opinion of what pitcher would be fair to go for?

Paul Sporer

4:25

Probably eyeing the 12-20 range - http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/march-rankings-update-starting-pitche...

Chad

4:25

Gerrit Cole or Marcus Stroman as my last keeper?

Paul Sporer

4:27

They're 4 ranks apart for me, so it's tough to differentiate much, but I'll go Cole.

Coop

4:27

Why does Jason hate Eno so much?! Even if it's reasonable. Which of them do you hate more?

Paul Sporer

4:27

LOLOLOLOL (podcast joke for anyone unaware)... I love both, I'm just stuck in the middle of this hate-fest!

JD15

4:27

Any chance Starlin takes the empty SS spot during Did

Paul Sporer

4:28

I think it's likely, tbh.

JD15

4:28

's absence

4:28

Hey Paul, which side do you like in a Betts/Bumgarner for Arenado/Turner trade? 12-team 5x5, keep 4 forever.

Paul Sporer

4:28

Which Turner?

Dan

4:29

Steven Matz, Lucas Giolito, Alex Reyes, Julio Urias. Rank their next 5-10 years.

Paul Sporer

4:30

That's sooooooo far out, but I'll play - Urias, Giolito, Matz, Reyes -- love Reyes, but hard to project too much for the guy who is currently out with the TJ. TJ isn't a certainty, though it's often treated as such

RAGS

4:30

Justin Turner or Ryan Schimpf in an NL only OBP league? Schimpf has 2B, probably more health, and a handful more HR, vs the consistency, R, RBI and OBP of Turner?

Paul Sporer

4:30

Turner by a mile, tbh

4:31

Well, maybe not a mile... I missed the OBP factor. But still easily Justin for me

Greg

4:32

Upside value of A Wood in 12 team NL keeper 5x5

Paul Sporer

4:32

I'm coming around to it, though I've never been a huge Alex Wood fan
