Donald

2:47

For a standard dynasty H2H league, please rank Harper Betts C.Seager and Correa

Paul Sporer

2:47

Betts, Harper, Correa, and Seager

WWPS - what would paul say

2:48

What do you think of segura in seattle and walker in az this year?

Paul Sporer

2:48

Got some thoughts on Segura coming in a piece posting after my chat.

Will

2:48

What do you think Matt Harvey does going forward? Should we sell or buy?

Paul Sporer

2:49

I'd sell right now. I LOVE Harvey, but I'm scared of thoracic outlet. It doesn't have a great track record. It's also a bit new so there aren't a ton of cases to judge from. I'll be monitoring him closely in Spring to see if I wanna get back on the train, but for now I'm selling

Lars

2:51

Who will be better the next 3 years Duda or Trumbo?

Paul Sporer

2:51

Trumbo for me

Zigs

2:51

What do you think about Margot. What is a reasonable stat line to expect of him this year?

Paul Sporer

2:52

I actually find the projection very fair - http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=14712&position=OF There's obviously some upside, but a realistic projection looks like that Steamer line

Eric

2:52

6x6 with OPS and K/BB as extra cats - what order do you like Rodon, DeSclafani, and Garrett Richards?

Paul Sporer

2:53

Rodon, Desca, Richards - just worried about Richards' health so he's a little wait-and-see

Matt

2:56

Mike Foltynewicz looked pretty impressive down the stretch last year and generally improved across the board. Given his nasty stuff, do you view him as a sleeper in deeper leagues? I don't feel like he's getting a ton of love.

Paul Sporer

3:01

You're right that he's going under the radar and I think he deserves some sleeper love. Great stuff and starting to figure out how to generate whiffs with it. More control than command right now, but still just 25. Legit upside

Bullpen Arm

3:01

Did Daniel Norris turn a corner at the end of last year or should discount the September performance because....September?

Paul Sporer

3:03

I think we saw nice bits of improvement from Norris. The ERA was already good, but it won't repeat without lowering that WHIP. Four pitch mix, added swing-and-miss, and still plenty of room to grow

Y'all, I've only got a couple more. Sorry we couldn't go longer today, but I have to post my piece and then head up north to babysit my wonderful niece. I'll go at least 2 hours next week... hold me to it!

BarryBaker

3:03

Frances Martes or David Paulino in a 30 mn dynasty pts league?

Paul Sporer

3:06

I prefer Paulino. Saw both in Arizona and definitely saw the upside in both, but just came out a little higher on Paulino. I was particularly impressed with his control and command despite his height

Hamilton

3:07

What do you make of Michael Conforto going forward?

Paul Sporer

3:08

I think he'll continue to rake righties, but I don't know if they're going to give him enough reps vL to let him prove

Moltar

3:08

Any top prospects you'd consider drafting in a league without minors slots?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Depends on league size. Maybe Moncada

Bullpen Arm

3:09

Bette value: Jose Abreu in the 6th round or Tommy Joseph in the 12th round?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Abreu. Gotta get Joseph way later to overtake Abreu

Rick

3:09

Can you rank the Mets SPs for the upcoming season? Which of them would you try to acquire?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Thor, deGrom, Matz, Harvey, Wheeler, Lugo, Gsellman

Thor and deGrom are the only 2 I'd be buying in the offseason

Elliott

3:10

Would you go with Chris Pratt or Chris Evans as fictional Jett Bandy?

Paul Sporer

3:11

Evans for sure. Pratt plays Bruce Maxwell, our hero

Craig

3:11

Matt Harvey still a ace?

Paul Sporer

3:11

Not until we see his return from thoracic outlet

Alex

3:11

Do we see a 2016 Verlander or a 2015 Verlander this year?

Paul Sporer

3:14

2015 wasn't that far off '16 when you lop off his first 6-7 starts as he was returning from the triceps injury. Unless he gets hurt, I expect him to stay great

Please bring these questions back next week. Lots of good ones, but I must go

3:15

Thank y'all for coming out. Next week, I'll probably do Wed or Thur and we'll go way longer.

Pipater

3:15

well do you have Strasburg ranked this year?

Paul Sporer

3:15

11th right now

OK bye for real!
