I'd keep him at that price. Seeing deGrom's success after the same surgery heartens me

rpo

2:13

How would you rate following keepers for next year - Berrios, Godley, Bundy?

Paul Sporer

2:14

I think that's the exact order (though I will have a top 50 or so going up in October)

Derek in Little Rock

2:15

Robinson Chirinos as a front-line fantasy starter in 2018?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Front-line? No. Gotta be cautious w/a 33-year old breakout like this. But as a cheaper C1 or strong C2, I dig him

TheDuck

2:21

Assuming equal cost, who do you prefer as a keeper, Godley or Duffy?

Paul Sporer

2:22

I'm still gonna take Duffy by a nose

Dave

2:22

Hey Paul, I asked you back in August about if I should trade my cheaply keepable Belli for a huge package of stud players, and you said of course I should and implied I was dumb for asking. You were right and my team greatly improved after the deal. Thank you.

Paul Sporer

2:22

LOL wait, I implied you were dumb? You must've named the players involved, right?

Im desperate

2:23

10 team H2H, im in the fantasy finals and I get to keep 5 keepers. Right now im keeping the Sanchino, All Rise, Corey Seager, Bellinger but im in between MadBum now or Just Dingers Martinez. Any help ?

Paul Sporer

2:23

I'd personally keep JD and then just use the draft to build my staff

Brian

2:23

Are you downgrading guys from the Dodgers and Cubs, deep teams like that, for next year? So much talent, guys like Javy Baez and Schwarber get less run.

Paul Sporer

2:25

Probably not, no. Guys don't really play 162 anymore anyway so I'll just continue to pick what I think is the best talent and let the playing time sort itself

Shuck Bowalter

2:26

Sad thing about Jimmy Nelson. Is he worth dropping in Otto, even if you have him at a reasonable-ish price?

Paul Sporer

2:29

Really sucks. Reason 26394632984782486328746 why pitchers shouldn't bat.

Brian

2:29

I just want to appreciate Joe Mauer right now. Just......thanks Joe.

Paul Sporer

2:30

Solid CI or UT if you had pwr to cover at traditionally power-lite positions - .311/.388/.427, 7 HR, 68 RBI, 65 R

rap

2:30

Daniel Murphy at $17 next year or Benintendi at $8?

Paul Sporer

2:31

Damn that's tough. I'm sure many would say Beni automatically. I think it's razor-close, but I will go Beni. Enough $ split to make him the better option given what they both did this yr and the ages of each

Big Tuna

2:31

Re: Olson, I didn't mean if you were against him, I meant more whether you were more bullish or raised him in your keeper rankings.

Paul Sporer

2:32

Ohhh, ok. I was just making sure. I haven't changed, but I still like him. Can't ignore the K% and thus the potential AVG liability, but the power is awesome

Just a Guy

2:32

cubs bullpen is messy. with arrieta back and montgomery likely returned to the pen can they get it together? also i can't recall a guy having a season like wilson's. awesome in detroit and just godawful in chicago. is it mechanical or mental?

Paul Sporer

2:35

Ya I can't recall anyone going THAT extreme, either. He's useless for the Cubs rn. Maybe hurt? It's just SO stark. Thankfully Duensing has been a revelation for them so he can pair w/Monty to give em 2 reliable lefties

Pine Needles

2:36

Would you start Kyle Gibson at DET tonight or Kendall Graveman vs. TEX?

Paul Sporer

2:36

Gibson

Moltar

2:36

in the h2h pts finals and am taking an all-hands streaming approach. Waivers due sunday night for next week's starters (through thursday), care to rank Gibson (@CLE), Garret Richards (@CWS), Junis (DET), Jaime Garcia (KC)?

Paul Sporer

2:36

Richards, Garcia, Junis, Gibson

The Brink

2:36

Realistic expectation for Gibson tonight, please. Thank you.

Paul Sporer

2:37

Ideally, at least a baseline quality start. I'd say something like 5-6 IP, 3-4 ER seems reasonable

Beetle Jones

2:37

I've reached the semis of my H2H league and it's so far, so good. We do have an IP minimum - that I may not reach unless Kluber goes at least four innings Sunday. Cleveland wouldn't bench him this soon ... would they?

Paul Sporer

2:38

Damn, that could be right on the cusp. Bc I think it'll be a maintenance start for 3-5 IP (hopefully they just give him a set # of pitches and he beasts and gets 5 IP)

Zotto

2:41

Wtf! This isn't MLB The Show!!!

Paul Sporer

2:42

LOL, but I do answer MLB The Show questions in here

Rasta

2:42

Godley or Paxton next year?

Paul Sporer

2:42

Paxton

Moltar

2:42

How far away is Lindor from being a top-10 player next season?

Paul Sporer

2:43

I think he's a viable 1st rounder. That said, I think there probably 20-25 or so guys who could go in that 1st round (of a 15 tm lg) so he won't necessarily carry 1st rd ADP.

Minty

2:43

Any keeper fantasy implication of Francisco Mejia getting promoted and then not playing at all?

Paul Sporer

2:43

Nah, a lot of times it's just for the experience. See also: Robles, Victor. Plus Mejia is going to AFL after this

Mark

2:48

Which 2 would you keep out of Luke Weaver, Quintana, Chris Taylor, Matt Olson, Teheran?
