Hello everyone, let's talk some baseball!!

Greg

2:01

Points league - How would you rank Sal Perez, Contreras, Will Smith, Grandal? I'm mostly trying to project who will be in the lineup the most because they all feel similar.

Paul Sporer

2:03

I'd definitely run it through the Auction Calculator w/y'all's settings. I agree they are close. If Ks count negative, I might lean toward Contreras/Salvy. If BBs also count and negate the Ks, go Grandal

Chris

2:03

Thanks for the Chat! Who do you like making the most impact this year: Gore, Gilbert or Kopech?

Paul Sporer

2:04

Thanks for coming out! I'd lean Gilbert there as I think he gets the biggest opportunity to start of the three.

KleShreen

2:04

Do you expect Shohei to be full tilt in 2021, pitching every 5th game and batting 3-of-4 in-between?

Paul Sporer

2:04

I'm certainly hoping for that as it will be electric to watch. It's hard to say the pitching is there, though, so I'm drafting him with hitting as my primary thought

Einstein

2:04

Pablo’s Lopez. U buying as a potential break out?

Paul Sporer

2:04

Absolutely. I think the stuff is there and we've seen the glimpses.

Phil

2:05

SP depth question - Freddy Peralta, Gonsolin - which would you rather have? Both? I’m in a SP/RP 5 & 5 needed league, so would Freddy be the better value as he qualifies for RP?

Paul Sporer

2:06

The RP aspect absolutely puts them pretty close. I do love Gonsolin but he's tougher to use as SP only in a situation w/the 5-5 split

Rick

2:07

Hey Paul, Wanted to get your opinion on Brendan Rodgers. Has all the shine rubbed off from being a top prospect or can he still make it big assuming he can stay healthy?

Paul Sporer

2:08

I actually wrote him up recently as someone to consider. The hamstring injury has turned out to not be an issue so I'm staying bought in at a dirt cheap price. https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/thrifting-with-prospects/

Ian

2:08

Thanks for this! How much are you bumping Angels and Mariners SPs due to the 6 man rotations?

Paul Sporer

2:09

A little, but I'm not going to let it take me away from someone I really like as 6-mans don't often last the whole year

Gus

2:09

In 16-team dynasty, would you trade Hayes and Fried for Yelich?

Paul Sporer

2:10

Certainly no problem with it assuming you're in a state of contention where a superstar like Yelich really takes you to another level

Desert snake

2:10

Will D.Varsho make the opening day roster for Arizona? Also, how quickly do you think he gets C eligibility? In my league - 10 games are needed this year, or 20 games last year (which he didn’t have) - thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:13

I think he has a chance w/the Calhoun injury. It could take a while to get the 10 games, though.

Jared

2:13

Bobby Witt Jr and Vaughn are gone. Who’s a good last round sleeper in a 12 team roto league? Wander Franco?

Paul Sporer

2:15

MacKenzie Gore, Adley Rutschman, Vidal Brujan, Wander Franco (though I really don't see him getting up anytime soon)

LA Mike

2:16

What’s the better play - Ohtani at DH, or Ohtani SP? I can only choose one play in my weekly league, but keep in mind it’s a QS league as well (if that matters in your assessment)

Paul Sporer

2:16

It's the DH for now

DH spot

2:16

Who would you play in this spot with choices of Schwarber, Margot, or Bohm?

Paul Sporer

2:17

Gimme Bohm

Coffee is for Closers

2:17

Do you think Chris Martin gets his shares of saves for Atlanta? Or is it the W.Smith show?

Paul Sporer

2:17

I think he does and could feasibly take it over w/the lion's share.

2:18

Who would rather have long term: Tarik Skubal or Luis Patino?

Paul Sporer

2:18

Skubal. More volume and love his K upside

Alex

2:19

Can Josh Rojas be of value as I await Merrifield 2B availability in my 12-team league? He’s been tearing it up this spring & I like the HR/SB combo he seemingly brings

Paul Sporer

2:19

Yes! I wrote him up recently, too: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/five-potential-stars-without-everyday-ro...

Jazzy

2:20

Any chance Chisholm wins the 2B job for the Marlins out of camp? He at least brings a little pop as well as the stolen base aspect.

Paul Sporer

2:20

Out of camp, I don't think so an d it's not JUST because I like Isan Diaz. I just think Chisholm will get some time in the minors

Guest

2:20

4 keepers in H2H OBP league. Have Harper, Story, Bichette, Devers, Y Alvarez, Darvish, Giolito. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

2:21

Harper, Story, Bichette, Alvarez

Butters

2:21

Where does semien end up in your 2B ranks once he qualifies there.

Paul Sporer

2:22

I'd say 10th https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/paul-sporers-top-55-second-basemen/

Brew Crew

2:22

Does Justin Topa have enough value, or is Victor Gonzalez at better bullpen arm?

Paul Sporer

2:23

I'd value them the same and pick your favorite

dave in slc

2:27

nl only would you want Bell at 11 or Moustakas at 15? both could rebound i think and be good do you take the harder position to fill at 2nd or the discount on bell?
