Paul Sporer

I'm thinking 150 IP max and if he's mostly starting then the WHIP will be more in the 1.35 range. I could see 150 Ks, though

James Paxton is this year's Raisel Iglesias. But who is Paulie's 2017 version of Carlos Carrasco?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Does Danny Duffy count? He had the SP/RP split like Carrasco did when he busted through and then took off as SP.

Chris

2:54

Best prospect to throw $2 at: A. Meadows, N. Senzel, A. Rosario ?

Paul Sporer

2:54

Meadows

Jim-Bob

2:54

Rank for next year: Manaea, Rodon, Moore?

Paul Sporer

2:55

Rodon, Moore, and Manaea. Just moved Manaea up the other day and all three are in a relatively tight 15 slot bundle

Phil

2:55

Whats your thoughts on T. Glasnow currently and for the future?

Paul Sporer

2:56

I'm not a huge fan. I worry about his ability to repeat his mechanics and maintain control at his height.

Hack Wilson

2:56

My league is considering going from a 5 Keeper with a draft (keeping players in original draft rounds for 3 years) to an Auction. Trying to find a solution for applying dollars to current keepers rather than start from scratch. Any suggestions?

Paul Sporer

2:57

Maybe use this where the "ADP" is last year's draft slot? http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/adp-to-auction-values-process/

2:58

Don't repeat questions, please. The queue is full. I'm not ignoring your question.

Jeff

2:58

Which pair do you prefer at equal cost - Rich Hill and Kevin Kiermaier or Anthony DeSclafani and Odubel Herrera - 6x6 with OPS and K/BB on top of traditional cats?

Paul Sporer

2:58

Gimme Hill/KK

John Doe

2:58

I have a $250 budget for my draft - I can keep 5 players and they add up to $105. Is that to much to be keeping that I may lose out on draft day? Machado, Arenado, Betts, Story and Bregman are the keepers.

Paul Sporer

3:03

Don't worry about how much they cost if they're worth it and that's a great group

Nelson

3:04

Salazar or Quintana?

Paul Sporer

3:04

I have Q a few slots higher

Mr. B

3:04

Months ago you ranked Duffy #17 on your SPs for 2017. Sticking to it? That puts him in some nice company...

Paul Sporer

3:05

He's still there, yes. I love him. Even if I wind up slotting him down a little after further analysis, he's going to be no lower than probably 22 for me

Joe

3:05

Keep Jon Gray and Urias for $5 each in a 12 team points league?

Paul Sporer

3:05

Gray for sure. Urias maybe, as long as you can hide him for the early part of the year as they plan to be very careful with him and maybe even leave him in extended Spring initially

Bryce M

3:05

Which keeper would you prefer in a 5x5 standard roto league: Jake Lamb at $1 or David Dahl at $10? Feeling like they both have upside and downside, but maybe position depth (lackthereof) at 3B pushing Lamb slightly ahead?

Paul Sporer

3:06

I haven't been shy about my love of Dahl, but gimme Lamb at a buck

J Cotton 4ever

3:06

Projected line on Conley of 3.76, 1.25 8K/9 too optimistic?

Paul Sporer

3:06

No, really only requires WHIP improvement which is certainly possible

BurningBridges247

3:06

Wanted to say I love your SP and MLB The Show work. What do you expect from McCullers this year? Stays healthy..maybe....pretty please?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Thanks so much! I sure hope he does, but the red flags are there. He had shoulder AND elbow issues last year. I'm still betting on the upside, but don't overpay (his 193 ADP works for me)

Steve

3:07

What are we thinking for Sano this year/long term? Can he ever manage a .250 avg / .350 obp line?

Paul Sporer

3:08

Yeah he can. His projection this year is .241/.333 which isn't that far off the .250/.350

3:08

Keep forever league no cost consideration, pick 2. Mazara/Benintendi/Bregman?

Paul Sporer

3:08

Maz and Breg

Cory

3:09

Would you trade Urias, who you can keep for 5 years for Goldy, who you can keep for only this year?

Paul Sporer

3:09

if my keepers are setting up for a big run in '17, yes

JAL

3:09

Paul, even with some solid picks, I had a disastrous year last year headlined by taking McCutch 21st and Bautista 28, Fielder 52, Heyward 117, etc. Here's to a better yr!

Paul Sporer

3:09

We all have those years. It's never ONE pick, it's when 3-4 collapse on ya

JAL

3:09

Thoughts on Archer is a SP1 this year and back to the well with Salazar as a SP2?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Love that combo as 1-2

hooha

3:10

I've been doing a lot of mocks and am unsure how my SP staff looks if I load up on offense. In a 5x5 12 team league - what do you think of a staff lead by archer, greinke, hill, gray, & nola - good enough to be middle of the pack or focus more in the future?

Paul Sporer

3:10

I really like it. You have to be more speculative on SP when you're stacking hitting so it's not always going to LOOK great coming out of the draft, but the upside is there. Archer and Greinke are both coming off of weak seasons and I can see both bouncing back
