Love me some VV and I agree he might be better cut out for the 1-2 times through league

John

3:35

I get that people are trying to push for Otani to the NL because he can pinch hit but try selling pinch hitting against a LOOGY once a game as opposed to getting 3-4 ABs as a DH.

Paul Sporer

3:36

Ya I don't get the whole *he has to go to NL for this to work* thing. really think DH'ing a couple times a week is the play

Worm Turner

3:36

Any chance we see any improvement with the A's starting rotation, or are they pretty much what they'll be? As a longtime fan- aside from Manaea, it's surprising how yawn-stipating it looks currently.

Paul Sporer

3:38

Definitely think there's another level to Manaea. He was ailing down the stretch, I don't think he just lost his skills. Not quitting Cotton, either. He has the arsenal, but deployment of it needs refinement. Don't trust Hahn to stay healthy and I think Graveman's '17 is kinda the peak

Triggs and Mengden could be Gravemany

Granada

3:38

Going for one last year on Yelich.... would you keep him for $30 less than Betts ($45)

Paul Sporer

3:39

He's $30... less than Betts.... or he's $30 less than Betts (aka $15?)... honestly it doesn't matter bc I think it's a viable keep either way

Ark

3:39

Bum and JDM for Sale which side do you prefer?

Paul Sporer

3:39

Gimme the duo

3:39

Pick one in a keep forever dynasty score sheet league: Hoskins, Robles, Albies, Luis Castillo

Paul Sporer

3:39

Robles!

Trying to acquire a high-end bat for my NL team that has been rebuilding the last two years. Tons of cheap young arms and a surplus of OF bats too. Looking to trade for $28 Arenado, trading back $15 Conforto and $14 deGrom. This would still leave me with a path to buy Bryce in the auction this year. Gotta find a way to make it happen, right?

Paul Sporer

3:40

Definitely. Go big. You've been planning for 2 years, don't shy away from stars this year! Get your whale!!!

Ark

3:41

Being offered Machado and Acuna for Harper. Should I do it?

Paul Sporer

3:42

Ya, I'd do that. It's not implausible to see MM replicating Harper in bottom line value espec. with the position difference (mind you, I definitely think Harper is better, but they're not light years apart) and then Acuna tossed in! Gold!!

Did you know there was an ARod quartet? (https://www.allmusic.com/album/mendelssohn-quartets-8230--mw0003094157) Seems unrelated, but then again ARod always seemed like a Mendelssohn fan...

Paul Sporer

3:42

lolol

Catchers

3:42

Keep 3- Judge, Stanton, Machado, Kluber, Bryant, Severino. Thanks Paul!

Paul Sporer

3:43

Stanton, Bryant, Kluber. If you prefer Judge, keep him over Stanton, but both is overkill IMO. I wanna diversify a bit. Same with KB/MM. But then I'm keeping Kluber over Sevvy for sure

Rasta

3:43

Sano @ $10 or Kluber @ $44?

Paul Sporer

3:43

League context would help, but I think I'm going Sano

weezy

3:43

I’ve got Pham, Conforto, Olson, Hoskins and Bellinger all at $1 in a 12-tm OBP & SLG league. Pick one to kick back in?

Paul Sporer

3:43

Deuces, Olson! and I like him for sure, but gotta be him

Mark

3:44

Hey Paul, I heard the latest podcast and was interested in what you and Eno were saying about the relievers being more valuable and wins may not be something you use to draft starters. In my league, for years I always chase saves. Based on what you guys were saying, Should I draft a couple of studs and then draft guys like Maeda and Green and hope I run into a couple wins a week with them?

Paul Sporer

3:44

Ya I definitely think the wins landscape is changing and these guys coming in the 5th and 6th and going 2+ IP could wind up chasing down double digit dubs and not cost you much at all

Ark

3:44

How much does Stanton’s long term fantasy value go down if he goes to SF?

Paul Sporer

3:45

A little, but not much. No park can hold him. He makes Miami look tiny

Charlie

3:45

Rank these according to best odds of a bounceback 2018- Miggy, Story, Odor, and Marte?

Paul Sporer

3:46

I think that's the order for me. If you look at Marte's #s and full season 'em, he wasn't down that much so he's def last. Plus his cost hasn't changed at all. Meanwhile, the others can be had cheaper than last year. Miggy could be a real boon. So many are ready to bury him and I get the age/health concern, but a healthy Miggy will absolutely rake

Walt Whitman

3:46

Is Luke Weaver a top 50 SP next year?

Paul Sporer

3:47

Close! https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/october-2018-starting-pitcher-rankin...

Hannah Hochevar

3:47

Hulet doesn't seem too hot on Candelario. Your take as (and not as) a Tigers fan?

Paul Sporer

3:47

Not elite, but a solid glue piece, espec. in AL only

Mark

3:47

Do you like Luis Perdomo at all for 2018?

Paul Sporer

3:48

I do. But actually prefer Lamet. Would like to see a few more swings and misses from Perdomo to go with the big GB%

Sonny

3:48

If you have steals built into the rest of your roster defensible to keep Ozuna over Marte for OF1?

Paul Sporer

3:48

For sure

Chim Richolds

3:48

Keep 2/3: J. Schoop, J. Baez, A. Simmons. Pts league.

Paul Sporer

3:49

Ooh that is tough. Schoop for sure. I buy Simmons' growth and think he can be really solid again in '18, but Baez has the major upside and if he just does '17 again, it's hardly an L so I gotta go him
