When calculating inflation for an auction keeper league, should you calculate the hitters & pitchers separately based on your target hitter/pitcher split and use two different inflation rates? Or throw everyone in one pool?

Paul Sporer

2:41

I usually just calculate it all told, but I think separate would work if you wanna do that

Rum Ham

2:42

Am I crazy for suspecting that Ellsbury will have a slight bounceback? Maybe .275 w 30 steals

Paul Sporer

2:42

Not crazy, no. Hit .263 last year so .275 is nothing. Health will dictate if he can add the SBs back

2:42

AL Only Keeper league ($260 12 teamer): Im scared to throw back Dyson @ $15. The SB category isnt too strong and lots of other Speed guys being kept... Would you keep Dyson over Trumbo $18?

Paul Sporer

2:43

I can get behind it. I don't love Dyson, but he will steal bases for sure

Hey I was just listening to Big Sean. You listen to new Future (HENDRXX)?

Paul Sporer

2:43

Can you please spend all your time podcasting? I spend all my time in the car

Paul Sporer

2:44

lol ok

Standard 12 team 5x5. How much weight do you place on the difference between NL and AL starters? If I'm keeping Thor, Darvish and Tanaka, would I be pushing my luck buying Paxton and McCullers at auction?

Paul Sporer

2:44

I don't get TOO hung up. I've noticed that Collette and I tend to end up with an abundance of AL SPs. The NL is better, but the gap has lessened so I generally focus on talent.

2:45

And I love Pax & McCullers, so I'd be inclined to wanna keep em

12x H2H Roto, OBP/SLG league. Keep two of: Cano, Carrasco, Posey, Villar, Yelich

Paul Sporer

2:45

Cano, Villar

2:45

Keeper question! 10 team league, 5x5, can ONLY keep the player for 1 or 2 years (not forever), and I sacrifice the round they were drafted in. 17th round Porcello or 26th round Urias?

Paul Sporer

2:45

Think ya gotta go Porcello there

seth r

working on my keeper list: castellanos @$12, Odor @$17, Schoop @$10, D Peralta @$9 for hitters and Nola $11, Pineda $14, Teheran $13 for pitchers. any of these you avoid or jump on? 16 team 5x5 $260 budget

Paul Sporer

2:48

I like Teheran and Nola. Think you might get Pineda cheaper in the auction. Odor and Schoop prices are fine, but 2B is so deep that I might throw em back and spend elsewhere. Either wouldn't be a bad keep, but it's not huge surplus value. Intrigued by Peralta at $9, but imagine he's cheaper at auction, too. None of these are bad prices, but they aren't obvious MUST keepers, either

Dave

2:48

If you had Bregman and Franco at 3B but no SS of note in a keeper forever 20 Team league, would you trade Dahl / Franco for Lindor / Castellanos? My other OF are Harper, Ozuna, Pederson and Margot.

Paul Sporer

2:48

Ya I can definitely get down with that deal!

Connor

2:49

It's sounding like the Athletics will have a competition this spring for closer. Who gets the most saves for them this year? Madson, Doolittle, Dull, Hendricks, Axford, or someone else?

Paul Sporer

2:49

Doolittle and Madson top 2

I know you guys have consensus ranks coming for another position soon. When do you think the overall consensus ranks will come out?

Paul Sporer

2:49

we don't do overalls, but I'll consider doing it for the March update

Zack

2:49

Who's your Mookie Betts for this year? I.E. a player going in the second or third round that will preform like a first rounder and be a potential top pick next year.

Paul Sporer

2:50

Correa and Story

BL27

2:50

Mitch Haniger or Hunter Renfroe in 2017 ?

Paul Sporer

2:50

Renfroe

Connor

2:50

Will there ever be another 300 win pitcher?

Paul Sporer

2:50

Seems unlikely the way the game is today

Nolson

9 team NL only keeper (5 keeps). What sort of draft pick compensation, if any, should I be looking for in return for Dee Gordon? I drafted Trea Turner last year in 2nd to last round so it's obvi i'm keeping him.

Paul Sporer

2:51

I might keep both and just be set on speed. But if you do trade Gordon, you should be looking for a pretty strong return. He's guaranteed SBs even if the AVG doesn't return

Shin Choo Been Gone

2:51

This fantasy advice is all well and good, but I'm really here for team name advice, got any doozies?

Paul Sporer

2:51

I'm so bad at team names. Your handle is amazing

jimmy

2:51

how close do you follow the auction calculator in your preep-

Paul Sporer

2:52

Not at all. I'm not married to any single projection. I gather the data to see what it's putting out, but I get multiple projections just to see what the range is

Max

2:52

Jake Lamb or Kendrys Morales for CI in a H2H league that does not penalize K's?
