Stanton. It's entirely health for him, he still MASHES the ball. I mean, it's probably all health for Story, too, but I just like the Stanton gamble even though it's unlikely he plays 130+

With so much potential in the 10-30 range of SP, what is the value of drafting any top 10 SP not named Strider in the top 3 rounds when you can add a dependable bat?

Paul Sporer

1:17

It's a super risky SP range, tbh. So much unproven talent despite the massive upside. I'm totally fine passing after the first 8-9 until it gets to around SP25 or so

MF Luder

1:17

Am I crazy for being higher than market on Tyler O'Neill?

Paul Sporer

1:18

No, he's always a "buy the dip" guy for me. Never buying high, though. So if he pops off this year, I'll fade again in '25

James Paxton odds to 10+ wins over 50%? Why can’t be have a Tony Gonsolin but old season?

Paul Sporer

1:19

Bc of his health profile and age. Talent wise we can, but it's so hard to bet on more than 90-100 IP. I don't mind drafting him, though

Do you think the Phillies will go after Wander Franco?

Sorry for not including league details on Manning question. 12 team head to head 5x5 with QS. 30 players per roster. Still burn and churn?

Paul Sporer

1:20

Yeah probably so. I love Manning and was excited for the breakout, but if guys like Canning are out there, who I also love, there's no reason to hold Manning

Sabey Sabes

Chat favorite Reynaldo Lopez had quite a spring...

Paul Sporer

1:20

He did indeed! Drafted him in my Saturday Main Event!!!

In a league with an innings cap, how do you feel about using a P slot on someone like Bryan Abreu who won’t get many saves, but will rack up the K’s?

Paul Sporer

1:21

That's fine. Basically IP cap leagues then become K/9 leagues so managing things makes some sense

Jason

O/U 450 PA for Victor Scott II this season?

Paul Sporer

1:21

I'd bet the under, but hope I'm wrong given how fun & exciting he could be

Guest

Is MJ Melendez a full time player or will he be platooning?

Paul Sporer

1:23

I think he'll have some sits vL, but I don't know if it's a 100% strict platoon that he'll never start vL... but he had a sub-600 OPS v them last yr so it's not all bad to lose those PA

Tony Buckets

1:24

Hang onto Matt McLain in a keeper knowing he may not even play this year?

Paul Sporer

1:24

Ehhhh, if you have a lot of IL slots and it doesn't prevent you from improving your roster... otherwise, no

Who will hit a home run tomorrow in the brewers and Mets game?

Paul Sporer

1:24

Rhys Hoskins

Main

1:25

What pick do you have tonight?

Paul Sporer

1:25

I got the 1!!! #AcuñaTime

Don Bon Jovi

1:25

Corey Seager for Bryce Harper straight up in keeper league for team deep at SS with no starting 1B. Do it?

Paul Sporer

1:25

Yep, no problems there

Benny Jett

1:25

is kimbrel the closer for BAL all of 2024?

Paul Sporer

1:25

I'm not the biggest Kimbrel fan, but if he can pitch like he did last yr, he'll hold it. That's a decently sized IF though

Rat

1:26

We have daily lineup changes. What is a good site that predicts the weather and predicts what games will get canceled??

Paul Sporer

1:26

Kevin Roth is my go to weather guy -- https://twitter.com/KevinRothWx

Louie Varland has got absolutely POUNDED his last couple of spring outings ... should I drop him for Jack Flaherty?

Paul Sporer

1:27

I thought the Tigers nickel & dimed in. Haven't seen the Braves start. You can make that move, but I'm not out on Varland personally

Matt

1:27

12 team roto (OBP/TB instead of AVG/HR). Going with OF of Nimmo, Happ, Soler. But part of me wonders if I should start Jung Hoo Lee instead of one. He’s got 4 games (3 for Nimmo/Happ) and those KBO/ST numbers are gaudy

Paul Sporer

1:28

You could take the extra game, that's fine. It's a personal choice for me, not a definitive must

McClain

1:28

Drafted McClain in 11 team. Backups are Drury and Gelof. But need some depth. How long should I hold him or waive him for Cronenworth, Rodgers, Castro, Berti?

Paul Sporer

1:29

With the surgery, it's an insta-cut in redraft. Croney or Rodgers is probably where I'd go

Jon

1:29

How long to trust Canning or Varland?

Paul Sporer

1:29

Depends on league size & what's available

Whaler

1:29

No one the entire spring has much of a handle on Yariel Rodriguez. The Jays spent some serious coin on him. I’m surprised there weren’t more dart throws on him in the “expert” leagues.
