Should Haniger be owned in all obp leagues? Do you see upside of 20-20?

Paul Sporer

4:15

Ya I think so. Might be tight if you have a good offense in 10-team

Rick

4:15

JP Crawford off to a poor start and disappointing last year. Is he behind Rosario and Barreto as far as SS prospects go?

Paul Sporer

4:18

I'm reluctant to get too crazy just yet on poor start

Guest

Buy or Sell-- James Paxton is a top 25 starter in 2017

Paul Sporer

4:21

I'm mostly buying it. I was pretty high on him. I only had him ranked 33 at peak but I buy the idea of what you're getting at by asking

Jim Lahey

4:21

You do realize that Severino has focused on his Changeup (his best off-speed pitch as a prospect btw) all off season and has thrown it with confidence in his 2 starts to begin the year? "2-pitch pitcher" isn't really that accurate

Paul Sporer

oh. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=15890&position=P#pitchty...

Daniel

Hi Paul. How can I be as handsome as Jeff Sullivan? Also is Gsellman pitching his way out of the rotation once Matz is back?

Paul Sporer

4:22

It's not possible and it'll be an ongoing battle between he and Wheeler until Matz returns. It was one bad start

Jay

4:22

Carlos Rodon: worth using my only DL spot?

Paul Sporer

4:22

Red Bird

4:22

Waino droppable in 12 teamers?

Paul Sporer

4:22

Yank

4:22

Headley flash back to 2012? Or just a mini-streak?

Paul Sporer

4:22

mini-streak

Lito

4:22

No Im not dropping him, but what do we make of Seung-Hwan Oh's struggles so far? Worried yet?

Paul Sporer

4:23

A touch. Velo down, looking a little more hittable, Rosenthal looming. Would move him down a few spots if I were to update my RP rankings

Blazer

4:23

Can Martes turn out to be the best of the current young SP prospect bunch in the American League?

Paul Sporer

4:23

Sure, he could

Larry

4:23

how strong is the correlation between hours spent at a desk job and fantasy prowess

Paul Sporer

4:23

Gotta be strong

Justin

4:23

Is Chris Devenski worth adding to a 10-team dynasty points league (with holds)? Do you think he has a chance to become a starter in the future?

Paul Sporer

4:24

Hmm, it's close with the holds, but probably not. I think this super-RP is the plan. Injuries could change that if the rotation was hit, but otherwise it's this role for him

Finny

4:24

Start Finnegan vs MIL?

Paul Sporer

4:24

Edwin

4:24

Paxton or Greinke?

Paul Sporer

4:24

Greinke barely

Will

4:24

Can people shut up about Conforto, he has had one good game. Chill out

Paul Sporer

4:24

Ya I answered quite a few too, I'll take some of the blame. He's just a hot topic today

Brad

4:24

Any concerns injuries deter turner and segura from stealing as much?

Paul Sporer

4:25

Depends how they feel upon returning. If they're healthy, they're going. But playing doesn't automatically mean healthy enough to run so it is someone concerning given the value in their legs

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

4:25

VV or Pineda?

Paul Sporer

4:26

Not much difference, tbh. Take your preference

Josh

4:26

I'm in a 12 team QS, SV and k/9 league. Someone just dropped Bush. Drop Glasnow for him?

Paul Sporer

4:26

I'm OK with that, ya
