Steve

4:02

Who would you keep as your last keeper: bellinger, kopech, Luke weaver, Reynaldo Lopez

Paul Sporer

4:03

Weaver or Belly - best chance at '17 impact

Jimmy

4:03

Who's better in 2017 and beyond, Cotton, or Gsellman?

Paul Sporer

4:04

Cotton, though Wheeler's latest news of his lack of readiness aids the outlook for Gsellman

Nolson

4:04

What's the shallower position this year, 1B or 3B? Keep Wil Myers over Franco and search for value at 3B later? or vice versa?

Paul Sporer

4:04

1B. I'd keep Myers over Franco regardless, though, just a more dynamic asset

dave in slc

4:04

benitendi worth 15 in an al only keeper?

Paul Sporer

4:04

yeah, I'd say so

4:05

Which SIX would you pick of the following; R. Odor, J. Lamb, G. Sanchez, M. Sano, K. Maeda, R. Osuna, A. Cobb, G. Richards, G. Cole
Thanks Paul

Paul Sporer

4:06

Sanchez, Sano, Odor, Lamb, Osuna, and choice of Maeda or Cole

pantsdance

4:06

How would you rank these SP prospects in a dynasty league? Gsellman, Cotton, Keller, Kaprielian, Groome

Paul Sporer

4:06

Cotton, Gsellman, Keller, Kapri, Groome... I don't know much on Groome yet, though, tbh

Gest

4:07

Who do you have in a Carlos Martinez vs. Danny Duffy pitcher battle?

Paul Sporer

4:08

I have Duffy - http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/february-rankings-starting-pitcher/

Drew

4:08

Are you staying away from pitchers that pitch in the WBC?

Paul Sporer

4:08

Not as a rule, no

Xavier

4:08

Will either of Robert Stephenson or Matt Wisler be very productive this year?

Paul Sporer

4:09

I think Wisler has a better shot as he shown a few flashes in his MLB time. Stephenson has plenty of raw stuff, but a lot more work to do

Sange76

4:09

16 tm h2h pts league. My Bautista and rd 11 pick for his Wade Davis and rd 3 pick. N Cruz is my best OF keeper and I have no closers to keep. Rd 3 could be a valuable pick w lots of players left on the board, but is it worth Bautista?

Paul Sporer

4:10

Ya I can dig that move. I have some concerns on Davis bc of health and I'm on the higher end for Bautista (some folks are just quitting him), but I think the round difference makes up the gap and allows you to do this

Steinbrenner's Ghost

4:10

20-team, H2H-Points Auction League...What's the better value for $71? Kershaw $71 OR Freddie Freeman $45 and Kyle Seager $26

Paul Sporer

4:10

The two hitters, IMO

Hmmm....

4:10

Any worries about Darvish's health going into this season?

Paul Sporer

4:12

His is probably 5-8% higher than average, but all SPs have some injury for sure

Tim

4:12

Have to decide between $24 K. Davis and $31 N. Cruz as my last keeper. Who's the more valuable of the two in your eyes?

Paul Sporer

4:13

Khris Davis is hoping to emulate Nelson Cruz, but even ate age-36, I gotta go Cruz with three straight 40+ HR seasons

Chris

4:13

Hey Paul--I've got a tough call in an AL-Only, 6x6. Pitching categories are net wins, K-BB, innings, ERA, WHIP and SV. I can keep two of Aaron Sanchez, Fulmer, Gausman or Stroman. Who do you go with?

Paul Sporer

4:14

Hot damn that is tough. Sanchez and Fulmer.

Hector

4:14

Paul, in a H2H league with offense including BB/OBP/H in addition to the standard 5 offensive categories, what kind of player would you chase in the first round (I have the 7th pick): a safe guy like Machado or Donaldson or a high-upside generational talent like Harper. I feel like the BB/OBP is a saftey net for guys like Harper.

Paul Sporer

4:15

I'd go Harper. I still think he's pretty safe while also having gobs of upside. He was clearly dinged up last year which led to the ugly summer, but he's still super elite

Archie

4:15

In an 11 team AL only 4x4 would you keep Gausman at $4 or Rodon at $9?

Paul Sporer

4:15

Gausman

Pie

4:15

For reference re: Altuve/Kershaw, my other keepers are a half-price Trea, half-price Bregman, and half-price Arenado. In place of Kershaw I'd go with a half-price Dahl

Paul Sporer

4:15

No, go with Kershaw

Pie

4:15

It is February 17 and I wore shorts and sandals outside in Austin. I was still warm.

Paul Sporer

4:15

Isn't it amazing?

Weather has been tremendous this week

Clebot

4:16

Should we be worried about how much Kluber was used last season? Almost 250 IP, including playoffs where they started him often on 3-days rest..

Paul Sporer

4:16

Remember when we heard that about Bumgarner? I'm not saying we fully ignore it and don't pay attention to usage patterns, but with someone like Kluber, it doesn't bother me

Josh

4:18

I wanted to post an opening in the fantasy baseball league filler article, but the comments seem to be closed. Is there some way to open them back up?
