Pomeranz

Any reason to believe Corbin can be the pitcher he was a few years ago, or is he done?

Paul Sporer

3:42

It was his first full season back from TJ so I'm willing to give him a touch of leeway, but it was unquestionably a brutal season. I'm not FULLY ignoring him, but I can't pretend there was much to takeaway as a positive from '16

$1 in NL-only is probably the most I'd do

Yunel Escobar .280/10HR/50RBI/68Runs Optimistic or Realistic?

Paul Sporer

3:46

A little optimistic from a volume standpoint. Has played viewer than 140 G the last 3 years and I wouldn't *bet* on a health spike at age-34

Larry David

3:46

Sporer! Hey man. I need some persuading in an off-season deal I have brewing. I have Gary Sanchez at C. I would be trading Kipnis/Sal Perez/Isan Diaz for an upgrade to Dozier, plus he'd give me Gleyber Torres who I think I'm far too in love with at the moment. And a pick which is fairly inconsequential. 14tm points league, all players kept, no contracts. I just can't see Kip hitting 23HR ever again. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

3:47

I'd like to persuade you to do it! I prefer Doz to Kip as well and also share in Gleyber love. I got to watch him take BP in the AFL and just melted. Ya, it's one BP sesh, but hot damn

I'm a handful of questions behind so please don't repeat Qs

3:48

I'm going to go at least another 45-60

Minty

3:52

What're your thoughts on the Dodgers' Bellinger in terms of excitement and if they trade him?

Paul Sporer

3:53

His power is filthy. He was trying to club it 600 ft. every AB during the Fall Stars game and I loved it, lol. Although I did hear that he kind of does that in season, too. But he's super athletic for a 1B so I'm not sure he's locked in there which adds to is prospect value

I can keep six of these guys at the same price ($6) in a mixed league with OPS and K/BB: Bregman, Swanson, Profar, Mazara, Benintendi, Aaron Sanchez, Alex Reyes--and Schwarber at $9. Which six to keep?

Paul Sporer

3:55

Breg, Swanson, Maz, Beni, Sanchez and Schwarber. Love Reyes, but could see ups and downs until he really establishes himself in a couple years

forever it

3:56

Would you rather have Straily/Yohander Mendez or Domingo Santana in a dynasty league?

Paul Sporer

3:56

Domingo!

Bobby Blownilla

3:59

In a 5x5 dynasty OBP roto where I need speed from the OF, please rank Odubel, JBJ, or Jose Ramirez? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

4:01

if you're going for speed, I think JBJ has to go to the back of the line. Odubel, Ramirez, JBJ

FlibbertyGibbet

4:01

I can keep 6 in a standard 10-team roto league. I have a few no-doubters: Altuve, Arenado, Corey Seager, Arrieta, and Scherzer. But I'm not sure how to handle three guys on the cusp: Dee Gordon, DeGrom and Chapman. Do any of those three seem like must-keep players, or should I try to package the cusp guys for one no-doubt keeper?

Paul Sporer

4:02

Closers are shaky by nature, but there are outliers and I think Chapman qualifies. I think he's atop that trio for me followed by Dee then deGrom. A fully healthy deGrom is probably ahead of Gordon for me, but that's not the case right now.

That said, to your last point, if you can package for a more slam dunk keeper, I'm ALL for it. Even if you have to include Arrieta or Scherzer with one or two of the maybes to get a lockdown, no-doubt first rounder

Jim

4:03

You are GM DM. Which Royals do you try to keep past 2017, and which do you part with (in trade etc) midseason and/or end of year? (Cain, Hosmer, Moose, Davis (if still there), etc) Which will yield the best return ?

Paul Sporer

4:10

I'd probably try to keep Hosmer, but I think he'd also deliver the most in a deal. Gotta see how Moose returns from the knee.

Charlie

4:11

Name a possible established MLB guy who the Sox could get back in a Sale deal? Would Dodgers move Pederson?

Paul Sporer

4:14

I could definitely see Pederson being involved in a Sale deal. Maybe JBJ from Boston.

Sean

4:14

Of course TINSTAPP, but which SP prospect would you feel most comfortable with being aggressive in acquiring to help in 2017?

Paul Sporer

4:15

I'm not fully quitting Giolito and now the price is lower, so I'm ready to re-invest

Pomeranz

4:15

My $7 Alex Reyes for his $18 Dahl in an NL only. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

4:15

Gimme Dahl!

Ryon Healy

4:15

Do you think I could become a poor man's Josh Donaldson?

Paul Sporer

4:17

That might be a bridge too far, but I do really like Healy.

4:18

Although you did say poor man's. I guess we'd have to define that further, but I kinda overlooked the poor man's part initially. So are we talking .280/25?

Minty

4:18

OBP dynasty and dunno how long Springer will keep it up with his profile. What OF, even if he isn't quite equal yet, would you target in a deal?

Paul Sporer

4:19

Dahl, Pollock, Polanco, and Yelich are names off the top of my head

Guy With Feelings

4:19

Let's say you were in a 16 team H2H dynasty league that is slightly tilted toward pitchers (and wins.... fml) and your team was built to win now. Aces are near impossible to acquire in this hypothetical league and you have an offer on the table to acquire Sale for Quintana, Ventura, Eloy, and the 4th Pick in the minor league draft. What would you do, Paul?????

Paul Sporer

4:20

That deal works, especially with the stipulations you've laid out

Craig

4:20

Come over next year and Otani gets $5/6 million dollars, come over in 3 years and get $250 million? Easy decision.

JD15

4:20

Re: Otani. Have to be 25. Passan tweeting about it earlier, so it will be 2019 before we seem him :(

Paul Sporer

4:21

Ohhhh, ok. I need to read up on the int'l changes.

Tom

4:21

Whaddya think about Pineda next year? the Ks and the swinging strike rate look to me like a possible top 20 pitcher who I can get a lower rate. Results/injury history say stay away

Paul Sporer

4:22

and horrible command. I need to see something from him at this point. I could see myself MAYBE getting a share just in case, but I'm definitely not seeking him out at this point. He just hasn't shown enough command to turn those K/BB rates into top flight production
