Taylor and Olson

weezy

2:48

I am all about classic roto as preferred format, but in some of my leagues we are really losing steam with participation. Any tricks to keep people engaged when they are out of the race?

Paul Sporer

2:48

It's tough when ppl are out of it in roto. What about something like what we discussed in an earlier question - taking away FAAB or giving top pick to the teams just outside the money instead of just the last place tm

Pine Needles

Final weekend of H2H playoffs...is Raisel Iglesias droppable (playing the BoSox this weekend) for a guy more likely to get saves like Brach (hosting Tampa) or Minor (at CWS)?

Paul Sporer

2:51

Eek, I'm not super comfortable trying to guess saves. I personally would hold Raisel. He actually has 17 of his 27 v. tms at .500 or better.

Josh

2:51

Would you roll with Miggy or Altherr this weekend?

Paul Sporer

2:53

Can't believe we're in a world where this is a viable question, but it is... and I'm gonna take Altherr

Minty

Follow up to Devers vs Conforto. $2 Albies, $2 F Mejia, or $3 Conforto?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Conforto, Albies, Mejia is my order.

Minty

2:54

How big of a gap is there between Bellinger and Hoskins in an OBP keeper?

Paul Sporer

2:54

a LOT smaller than I think most would want to believe bc of Bellinger's name and prospect value

Eric

2:54

Concerned about Nelson coming off the surgery?

Paul Sporer

2:55

Definitely. This is a bad injury and I'm really bummed bc it was nice seeing Nelson breakout. I'm not drafting him in 2018.

Eric

2:55

What should I do with Urias in a keep 10 league. I know next year is likely shot, but what about the future? Lots of question marks?

Paul Sporer

2:55

Cry? That seems the best course of action here.

2:56

Jokes aside, this is an even worse injury than Nelson's and it's very disappointing. Hang onto him for now, but if you get in a situation where you're up against a keeper limit and it's him v. another viable who is healthy, I'd take the other guy even if his ceiling is a lower than what we dreamed on for Urias. Luke Weaver, for example, didn't have the same hype, but I'd keep him over Urias.

Kyle

2:56

Would you risk starting Paxton next week @Oakland?

Paul Sporer

2:57

........ ugh

Maybe?

2:58

i'd look for reasons NOT to

so if you have a better streamer or something, go for him

Mallex P. Keaton

2:58

Charlie Morton v. LAA tomorrow (bullpen game - Bud Norris listed as starter). Must start?

Paul Sporer

2:59

Ya I'd def start him

Big Joey

2:59

You must be really scared about Conforto's injury. I'm guessing you believe he won't be ready by opening day? How much more do you value Trea Turner over Conforto in a keep-forever league?

Paul Sporer

3:01

I am concerned that he won't make it for Opening Day. Even healthy, I'd value Turner a good bit ahead of Conforto. That speed is just too valuable

Willie hears ya Willie dont care

Recommendation(s) for a pitcher to stream this Sunday? I'm a little miffed on the options, and would appreciate a qualified opinion. Thanks a bunch!

Paul Sporer

3:01

I'm writing up the streamers later today

The Big Trade

3:01

15 player keeper, do I drop J.Nelson in the offseason? His shoulder surgery has me nervous.

Paul Sporer

3:01

Ya I'm cool with it

Just a Guy

3:02

Will Piscotty return to form?

Paul Sporer

3:02

I think he's a good buy low, yes

Matt

3:02

Do any of Cam Bredrosian, Addison Reed, or Brandon Morrow close somewhere next season?

Paul Sporer

3:02

I think at least one does

dave in slc

3:02

just picked up King Felix on waivers in an AL only keeper for $10, will he even be worth that next yr?

Paul Sporer

3:03

Ya I think he's a solid gamble for $10 in AL

Derek in Little Rock

3:03

What are your thoughts on Luiz Gohara for 2018? I like what I've seen so far. Incredible arm strength of course, and two straight starts without a walk is an encouraging surprise.

Paul Sporer

3:06

I'm a fan for sure. I think he'll be a fun, low-dollar investment. Check out Nick's piece: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/pitcher-spotlight-luiz-goharas-mlb-de...
