Carlos

4:18

I'm driving the Carlos Gomez train for next year. How likely is it he can do something like 100/22/85/.265/.330/25?

Paul Sporer

4:18

I think it's definitely possible. I'm back in on him, too

Pat

4:19

Most important factors to consider when deciding to drop $50 of your $260 budget on one single player at the auction?

Paul Sporer

4:20

Basically, they have to be on offense first and foremost

4:21

I don't htink I'd spend $50 even on Kersh. It's really just a handful of guys

Cru Jones

4:23

Who'a this year's Aaron Sanchez?

Paul Sporer

4:28

So like big prospect who rises up after being SUPER cheap? Maybe Daniel Norris or Mike Foltynewicz

Jose

4:28

Any chance Jose Abreu finally puts together two good halfs and is a top 3 1B next year?

Paul Sporer

4:28

Definitely a chance. He's a good player for sure

Slamboni

4:28

What do you expect from Jackie Bradley Jr this year? Closer to 2016 or closer to 2015?

Paul Sporer

4:30

The two were actually quite similar from a bottom line standpoint... 3 pts difference in OPS. Low-to-mid .800s OPS with low-20s HRs

Hannah Hochevar

4:30

Hey Paul. Haven't heard the Pod yet so apologies if this was covered, but are you interested in Andreise as the 5th guy for the Smyly-less Rays? A possible Rich Hill lite? Thanks!

Cru Jones

4:30

Does Matt Andriese make the Rays starting rotation this year? Am I crazy to be thinking about him in a deep 12 team mixed points league?

Paul Sporer

4:33

I don't think he has that Rich Hill upside. Hill is elite for the innings he pitches, he just doesn't pitch enough. Andriese strikes me as a solid 5th starter type who you could stream or use in AL only

Jbone Lacey

4:33

12 team mixed keeper league 5x5 (OBP instead of average) . Would you prefer keeping both Manaea and Paxton in the 17-19 range over a Danny Duffy in the 8th? How about Kiermaier in the 21st?

Paul Sporer

4:34

Tough group. If the separation was closer, I'd go Duffy because I love his upside, but I'm gonna say Paxton at that price. He could be this year's Duffy

YKnotDisco?!

4:35

DH in both leagues? or none?

Paul Sporer

4:35

Both

YKnotDisco?!

4:35

Would the All-Star experience be a better product by having competitions? Like running the bases, showing off arm strength and many other suggestions. What would you like to see? What questions would you like the All-Star event to answer?

Paul Sporer

4:35

it could, yeah, but I think it's OK as-is. I love the future's game and the new HR derby setup is great

Al Kaline

4:36

16 team keeper league- Matt Moore or Sean Manaea? (short term and long term)

Paul Sporer

4:36

Moore

Bert

4:36

My bold 2017 prediction: Roman Quinn outperforms Villar (position notwithstanding). You dig?

Paul Sporer

4:36

I don't agree, but I see some upside in Quinn

Not Chuck Norris

4:36

True or False: This year's Edwin Diaz is Joe Jiminez

Paul Sporer

4:37

Ooh, he definitely could be. Oh how I'd long for a true fireballer for the Tigers in the 9th. (could still be Bruce Rondon, tbh)

Gest

4:37

In your mock I see Alex Reyes went 39 spots > Urias. Do you think there is that much separation between these pitchers?
Similarly, Pineda went 39 spots > Robbie Ray. I've viewed these two pairs of pitchers to be about equal. Am I wrong?

Paul Sporer

4:40

No, you're not off. I can totally see it with both pairs.

Thomas

4:40

Is there any hope of Miguel Sano getting to a 250 average? That seems like ... a 90th percentile outcome?

Paul Sporer

4:42

Ya it's definitely in his upper rangers

ranges*

4:43

He just doesn't make enough contact. You have to protect him with the avg

YKnotDisco?!

4:43

Who would you rather have for the next 5 years: Odubel or Inciarte?

Paul Sporer

4:44

I don't really plan that far out at all, but I guess Odubel

Brian

4:44

Do you envision sonny or liriano bouncing back to 2015 form or something closer to it than last year?

Paul Sporer

4:46

Yeah, Sonny if he's healthy. Liriano kinda already did with Toronto. Liriano could be back on track for a full season if he gets his HRs in check

Marc

4:46

Will you guys have the big help with our keeper questions post like last year?

Paul Sporer

4:46

What post was that?

Scooby

4:46

Thanks for the chat, Paul. I've been offered Villar ($7) for Schoop ($9) straight up in an Ottoneu classic 4x4 (R, HR, OBP, SLG) keeper. Might seem like a no-brainer, but without SBs, is it? Does Schoop have the potential to be a powerhouse in HR and SLG more than Villar in R and OBP?

Paul Sporer

4:47

Ya I don't think it's quite a slam dunk without SBs. I probably wouldn't do it. Keep Schoop
