Paul Sporer

2:45

I'd keep B-Bux, not Peraza

Nelson

2:45

Likeliest landing spot for Bautista next year?

Paul Sporer

2:46

Back with Toronto

Bruce

2:46

4 teams only played 161 games, I know the missing games did not have playoff implications, but what about for draft order

Paul Sporer

2:46

The draft probably just goes by win percentage. Not sure if those games shifted anything

2:47

Pit-Chc actually had a tie if you're talking about them in the four, but that still fudges the win pct (though CHC obv best record regardless)

JAL

2:47

Figured as much. Can't find the bones to pony up for Kersh/Max. Would you go Kluber over Happ though? Not sure I would...that was my dilemma. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

2:47

Ooh if you can do that, I think I would go Yu-Klubes

CoolWinnebago

2:48

Paul! I have too many 3bs, how do you rank Lamb, Franco, and Healy for next year? Eno seems to like them all which doesnt really help.

Paul Sporer

2:49

Well I'm not going to be much more help as I like them, too. Eno got me on that Healy train. But I think Franco is still my favorite of the group.

The Buck Stops at Britton

2:49

If you can keep Moncada fairly cheap for the next two years, is it worth it to ride out 1/4 season in '17?

Paul Sporer

2:50

Man that's tough, but you could get 1/2 a season if he goes down to Triple-A and rakes for a few months. As long as there is enough space on the reserve roster, go for it

Steve Sax

2:50

I scored 65 points in AL only 4x4 and 82 points in NL only 5x5 and came in second in both leagues. Thanks for helping my 2 90th percentile teams get beat by 95th percentile teams.

Paul Sporer

2:50

Hahaha, no problem!

The Buck Stops at Britton

Willson Contreras a keeper in a 12 team obp auction draft at $10? Budget is $360.

Paul Sporer

2:50

Ya I can get behind that.

Minty

2:56

What're you expecting out of Buxton in an OBP league next year?

Paul Sporer

3:02

I think a .325-.330 is the high end you can be expecting, but power and speed. Glad we finally got some MLB excellence on tape for him. And then with a talent like him, there's always the chance for the explosion

Poops

3:02

Give me a Hunter Renfroe projection for 2017 assuming has a full time job out of spring training.

Paul Sporer

3:04

Another guy who really impressed me in AFL and I think we got a nice taste of who he is even in his tiny MLB sample. The power is there, obviously. I think a full season could yield .250-30

Steve Sax

3:05

in NL only 10 team, $260 budget- I have DeSclafani, Alex Dickerson, Hernan Perez, Granderson, Eickoff, and Schimpf all at $5. Are they all keepers? I see value on all of them. Schimpf probably is the most likely to fail miserably?

Paul Sporer

3:08

i can also see the case for each and agree w/your Schimpf assessment. The SPs are pretty similar overall, so I'd only keep one (Disco for me). Y'all know I love Curtis, but I'm not sure I keep him at age-36. I'm super intrigued by Perez even though I have no idea what to really expect. Here's my order: Disco, Perez, Dickerson, Curtis, Eick, Schimpf (power too plentiful to make his all that useful, even at 2B)

Bochy's Big Brain

3:08

Pick one to keep - Maeda, Fulmer (same cost) or Nola at $6 cheaper.

Paul Sporer

3:10

Gonna ax Nola bc of the injury. When it's close, an injury tiebreaker is an easy way to pare the list. I've got Maeda higher on my early SP list

Gonna wrap here after a couple more Qs with the game about to start

Bochy's Big Brain

3:10

Jon Gray forecast for 2017?

Paul Sporer

3:11

200 IP of 3.70 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 212 Ks

JAL

3:11

Seems like a light day, so I am throwing it out there for comments. Lineup for tomorrow: YU, Klubes, Willy C, Everyday Eddie E, Old Man Kendrick Lamar, The Kid Kris B, Addy Russ, Joey Bats da God, Mookie and Denard Grey Beard. Speak to me

Paul Sporer

3:11

I think you've inspired me to make a lineup

zurzles

3:11

how badly does the juicing of the balls or whatever it is screw up fantasy projections for 2017? how do you adjust to a world where every single player, including the retired and dead ones, hits 20 home runs

Paul Sporer

3:12

LOL it really flips things, especially after the community at large had just gotten into the idea of boosting SPs. While HRs are more plentiful and SBs more scarce, you still have to balance the fact that you need X-amount of HRs out of each spot so getting SBs from those 0-5 HR guys burdens you more to get some major sluggers

3:13

I think I'll probably revert back to waiting a bit on SPs. Maybe not to the 7th-8th round level I used to do, but 5th-6th whereas I was taking one in 2nd or 3rd last year

Bochy's Big Brain

3:13

What do you see out of Blake Snell in '17?

Paul Sporer

3:16

I can see a similar ERA (something in the mid-3.00s) but some big improvement to that ugly WHIP. It's probably still going to be in the 1.30s with his BB issues, though. 180 IP of 3.65 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 192 Ks

Eric

3:16

Where do you think Cotton ranks amongst SPs next year? What about Lugo? Are they both top 50?

Paul Sporer

3:19

I can't get either in the top 50 just yet, but I was impressed by both for sure. I think I'd lean toward Cotton between the two

3:20

Alright folks, thanks for coming out! Enjoy the playoffs. I'll be back next week!!
