I know you're not enamored with Fulmer, but is he still worth keeping at barely-over-the-minimum in a keep-8 points league? My only other keeper starter would be an expensive Kershaw.

Paul Sporer

11:40

Michael Fulmer? I love Michael Fulmer!

Brian

11:40

Carl Edwards pitching himself out of a closer role eh?

Paul Sporer

11:41

Maddon loves him, I actually think he'll get the role to start '18

Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe

11:43

Does Javy Baez's big game reignite the insane notion that he is a good hitter?

Brian

11:43

Is Javy Baez the most exciting bad player of all time?

Paul Sporer

11:46

Well he's not bad, but he's obviously still a flawed hitter. That said, he's gonna be 25 next year. He's not a finished product.

Carl

11:46

Keep one: Eloy, Kyle Tucker, Brinson, Mejia? Better to keep the best prospect, or one that will be more valuable in 2018?

Paul Sporer

11:47

Mostly depends on league setup, but generally speaking I'm keeping the guy closest to production unless it's a mediocre contributor v. an elite prospect. In this case, I think Brinson is best for next year AND a v good prospect

Brian

11:47

Who is the most likely to tank next year: Devers, Bellinger, Hoskins?

Paul Sporer

11:47

Devers

Community article last week confirmed what I always knew, that the strike zone is totally different in a 3-0 count than it is in an 0-2 count. But a pitch at the corners is literally %25 more likely to be called a strike in a 3-0 count? That's insane! We could be having shorter at bats and therefore shorter games! Robot umpires now!

Paul Sporer

11:47

Automatic 3-0 strikes are AWFUL

rpo

Bregman or Benintendi next year as keeper?

Paul Sporer

11:48

Flip a coin, tbh, but I'll go Bregman bc of position

Hannah Hochevar

11:48

Is Stroman going to earn $20 in AL Only next year?

Paul Sporer

11:48

I'd think so, yes

Pencylvester

11:48

What kind of draft pick do you think I could swing in an offseason trade moving Gerrit Cole? Yu Darvish?

Paul Sporer

11:48

I'd imagine a pretty solid one, espec. for Darvish. Maybe hold Cole as you won't get huge returns right now, but I still think there's upside

Two years in a row that Kershaw has missed significant time, but been pretty awesome when healthy. In terms of year-end value, he's your #___ pitcher in 2018? and where would you draft him?

Paul Sporer

11:50

He's still #1, but the gap has closed. https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/october-2018-starting-pitcher-rankin... --- I'd take him late 1st, early 2nd

He'll probably still go mid-1st, but I like too many hitters

Keepers

11:50

OBP league....Goldschmidt in 10th, Altuve in 5th, and Machado in 25th....can only keep one! Thanks for your time good sir

Paul Sporer

11:51

Think the Machado value is just too much to pass up, even if he's more of a 2nd rounder to their 1st round values

Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe

11:51

Your Tigers are the oldest team in the Majors who have never moved nor changed their names!

Paul Sporer

11:51

Wooo, go my favorite team!

RAP

11:51

Who would you rather have next year - Albies or Zimmer?

Paul Sporer

11:52

Both are going to be speed assets I'm interested in buying, but Albies' plate skills give him to edge for me

Confused Guy

11:52

Throw one back in dynasty: Greinke, Paxton, Rhys

Paul Sporer

11:52

Think I gotta toss Pax back

Brian

11:52

YOu think Albert Almora starts next year?

Paul Sporer

11:53

No, I still think he's a perfect 4th OF/short platoon guy. I do think he's one of those guys whose defense keeps getting him reps to where he could improve his hitting enough to beat his projection level

If he starts hitting righties, look out

Brian

11:53

Cubs: any major problems or just baseball?

Paul Sporer

11:54

The bridge to Davis is weak with Edwards sputtering and Justin Wilson not panning out. Then Davis himself has been a bit wobbly

Moltar

11:54

Oh god, the CS isn't even over and Yankee fans are crowing about it being the greatest postseason of all time.

Paul Sporer

11:54

lolololol

CamdenWarehouse

11:54

Sometimes, the brain doesn't work properly. I saw "O/U on Tiger's wins next year? 75?" and my first thought was: Dude, is he ever even going to golf again?

Paul Sporer

11:54

bahahahaha

sidenote: I think he said he was going to be coming back again or some shit
