Southpaw the fuzzy alligator

Do you have any concern that Trout or Goldy stop running?

Paul Sporer

4:56

See above. But ya there's always some concern. One nagging injury can put em on the red light immediately. Sometimes they are hurt to a level where they shouldn't steal, but they can still do everything else. But you're not drafting either thinking your SB are set, so just plan

Paul, thank you for all the super fantasy analysis, both in chat, Twitter, and articles. You da man!

Paul Sporer

4:56

Thanks so much!

And you're welcome

Hector

Would you personally rather draft out of the back end of a round (7th or 8th in 8-team league or 9th and 10th in a 10-team league) or at the beginning, and why?

Paul Sporer

4:57

In shallower leagues, I'd prefer the earlier picks so I can get one of the lockdown stars, but it's not like you're getting chopped liver 7th through 10th, so I'd be OK if I was back there. I like one of the ends, though. double picks are fun

4:57

Who do you like better as a 2B/OF in 2017 - Zobrist or Drury?

Paul Sporer

5:02

I think I'm still taking Z, but Drury is really intriguing.

I did labor over that, hence the delay

Z is just so solid. Even at 36, I think he had a high floor

Diego

5:02

AL roto keeper with $5 inflation. $16 Semien or $21 J Dyson and $8 Y Moncada

Paul Sporer

5:03

Ok this was the one from earlier. Ya I can't pay $21 for Jarrod even with Moncada (who I think plays 3+ months)

Manny

5:03

Follow up on ceiling vs floor... what player besides Trout has a high ceiling and high floor?

Paul Sporer

5:05

Arenado, KB, Goldy, Kershaw (even missing 50 IP, he was like 5th among SP last year on the player rater, I think), Those stable rocks still have upside, too - Miggy, Cano, Edwin, JD, Votto - no one would be surprised if they hit 15 pts higher with 5 more HR than last year.

5:05

triple slash keeper league where i already have trout/betts/marte. would you keep pollock or daniel murphy? pollock is younger and maybe better over next few years, but he'd be a UTIL for me and murphy could still be really good next year

Paul Sporer

5:06

I'd go Murph. Won't get the SB of Pollock, but a great hitting line otherwise and you have spd with the other 3 OF

ctw

5:08

in a league that does saves and holds, would you rather keep a SP like carrasco/archer or a reliever like betances/jansen?

Paul Sporer

5:08

Gotta favor the SPs on that one

Mike

5:08

Standard 5x5 roto. Springer or Bregman. Head says Springer but I love Bregman. Already keeping Machado, Betts, Correa and Freeman. Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

5:10

it's tougher than most probably think. Springer going way higher in redrafts, but Bregman is legit. I'm still going Springer

Ron Gant

5:10

What's Jose Peraza worth in an NL Only auction assuming he's starting the year in his current utility man situation? And what's the most you would pay?

Paul Sporer

5:13

Burners have a way of not needing so much PT to click (Rajai Davis, Jarrod Dyson, etc...) so I'd still go $teens for him. If he's a major target for you, I could see saying $20 in the heat of an auction battle

Southpaw the fuzzy alligator

5:13

How would you feel about the All-Marlins outfield on your team?

Paul Sporer

5:13

I'd down for sure

Benson DuBois

5:13

Better NL closer keeper: $1 Neris or $11 Kelley? I have them both through '18.

Paul Sporer

5:14

I think Benoit closes in PHI, but I'm just not hot on paying $11 for Kelley so I think I'd still spec on Neris, espec. w/'18 in play

Minty

5:14

Springer or Polanco in OBP?

Paul Sporer

5:14

Springer for sure

Bob

5:14

Hey Paul! I need to throw one back in a keeper league. Who do I throw back? Benintendi, JP Crawford, Dahl, Mazara, Yelich, A. Reyes, G. Sanchez.

Paul Sporer

5:15

Without knowing league details, I'm thinking Reyes. It's Reyes or JPC for me and when it's close, I'll take the middle infield prospect

Eckstein123

5:15

Since there's no SP guide this year, what do i win for beating Paul Sporer in NFBC last year?

Paul Sporer

5:16

Need to figure that out. Might still have something up my sleeve SP-wise, so I'll get that figured. Can you email a reminder my last name at g mail?

Jeremy

5:16

There's not a big market for Mike Napoli in my league, but I have him for a very cheap price (4 points in a 340-point league). What's a reasonable line to expect for him? My main 1B is Joey Votto, so Napoli'd be just a DH, and I think I'd like to trade him.

Paul Sporer

5:16

.230/25 seems fine for that 4 pt cost

Robert

5:16

How much am I going to regret giving Swanson and Albies to get Carrasco and Justin Turner in my 20 team dynasty?

Paul Sporer

5:16

I don't think too much, espec. after you win it all this year

El Duderino

5:16

Are you buying Heyward's swing renaissance? How much would you pay in 12-teamer?

Paul Sporer

5:18

Gotta see something, but even before the swing rebuild, I wasn't giving up on Heyward. Think you could get him under $10. I'd pay low-double digits if I had to, though.

Hector

5:18

Is there a specific expert/analyst that you weigh heavily more than others (or perhaps a guide/book)? Have you ever been to one of those First Pitch forums? What do you make of them?
