Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!!

1:03

Drafting a HR’s only points league. 10 teams. 20 hitter rosters. Who are some favorite boppers in the middle / late rounds to target? Nelson Velazquez’s of the world already going off the board.

Paul Sporer

1:07

Rizzo, Melendez, Kerry Carpenter, Kepler, Chapman, Bryant, Rooker, Stanton, Raley, Wilyer Abreu, Colas, Vientos, Cowser/Kjerstad, Noda

I went to the auction calculator and input my league settings which is just OBP instead of BA. And somehow Dansby was worth more than Gunnar even though Gunnar had projections all above Swanson. Any idea how that could happen?

Paul Sporer

1:09

What set of proj. did you use? Seems weird

Mojo

1:10

Prefer Jasson or J Wood over next few years?

Paul Sporer

1:10

Dominguez for me

Mookie Dookie

1:10

Who do prefer just for this season Langford or Chourio?

Paul Sporer

1:10

Langford by a hair!

projections

1:10

I know you do your own projections.. but do you have a strong opinion on any of the ones offered here on fangraphs one way or another?

Paul Sporer

1:11

I didn't do my own this year like Justin. I use The BAT X

Mookie Dookie

1:12

Who are your top setup guys for Sv+Hld leagues that have k/9?

Paul Sporer

1:13

You can use the Auction Calculator to do that! https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy-tools/auction-calculator?teams=12&lg...

Fred

1:13

How soon do we see Orelvis Martinez? I need a deep MI

Paul Sporer

1:21

It could take some time because there's no room at the inn

Bjarke

1:21

If you were designing a new ballpark in Vegas, what world monument would you emulate?

Paul Sporer

1:21

The Grand Canyon

Darren

1:21

If D Williams is injured, who do you think gets closer duties in MLW?

Paul Sporer

1:22

I'm a big Abner Uribe fan, though I will freely admit that my interest is born from him becoming a star reliever for me in Out of the Park Baseball last year!

And Desist

1:22

Who do you think wins the Cease trade sweepstakes? Looks like it's between NYY, SD, and TEX so far

Paul Sporer

1:22

I think NYY goes hard if Cole is merked

Pitcher Problems

1:22

Hey Paul!

Paul Sporer

1:22

Hi!

Mookie Dookie

1:22

Is there anyone going in the top 10 of redrafts that you feel is too risky and therefore avoiding altogether?

Paul Sporer

1:24

Probably only Carroll as I'm just a little nervous on his shoulder and I'd just to prefer to go for Tucker, Tatis, Strider, or Soto. That said, I'm not fully out on him, just not trying to pay Top 5

Mookie Dookie

1:25

In a 10tm H2H with QS would you keep Gray Rod for 13th rnd pick or Glasgow for a 12th?

Paul Sporer

1:25

Think I'd just take the round discount with Grayson

Guest

1:25

If you're drafting a league with 2B, SS, MI, do you bump either position up your board more than the other? thinking about depth between the two

Paul Sporer

1:26

I give a liiiiittle favor to 2B as I like SS's depth a bit more, but I don't bend over backwards to get a 2B

1:26

Is Acuna, still the number 1 guy for you (12 team roto)? If not who? Also, if you're looking to wrap around a pitcher after acuna, drafting from the 1 spot (so say 24 or 25th pick) who are you going for?

Paul Sporer

1:28

Still totally fine with Acuña at 1 as the news has been as good as we could've possibly hoped for. If I'm pivoting off him, it's to go Strider at 1 and just get the best SP in baseball. I like one of the Seattle pitchers or Wheeler at 24/25 if I do go RAJ at 1

Henry Davis

1:28

We kinda digging him once he gets Catcher eligibility?

Paul Sporer

1:30

We are, yes! I'm a fan. He was last cut on my Breakouts list and I might just add him in an update. He is still very affordable even with some buzz on some pods and Twitter (late-200s)

1:30

The Bat X. Definitely strange.

Paul Sporer

1:31

This is re: the Dansby/Gunnar stuff for those who didn't see the initial Q. It makes a touch more sense using The BAT X as Dansby has him edged out in every counting category and only a 5 pt. loss in OBP.

Carlos Rodon

1:34

Am I just cooked? Looks like the same issues from last season have carried over to this spring

Paul Sporer

1:35

I'm certainly a lot more nervous based on the Spring issues. I've moved off him a good bit and he'll be moved down in the next SP update

Junior Circuit

1:35

I want Junior Caminiero. Do you think he's ready after a few weeks (ie, when his service time clocks to under a year) or will it be months?

Paul Sporer

1:37

I think he'll probably get some time in the minors as a 20 yr old w/just 81 gms in AA. I know he got an MLB taste, but I think that was a reward for a big season

Cody L.

1:37

Health being equal, who has the highest ADP next year? Langford, Chourio or Holliday?
