Not *almost* certainly, it CERTAINLY makes him one. Turner and Darvish are the others for me.

Michael

3:06

What are your thoughts on Orlando Arcia long-term? Is Alcides Escobar a good MLB comp?

Paul Sporer

3:06

Better IRL than fantasy and yes, Alcides is a strong comp IMO

Sonny

3:06

At basically $0 is Severino worth a flier this year?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Yeah, still a helluvan arm

George is Curious

3:07

Paul's gut feeling says that Price is a) out for 1-2 months, or b) out for the season?

Paul Sporer

3:07

B :((((

Berti

Hi Paul! Working on my final two keepers in a H2H single C league. Odubel Herrera in the 24th, Colome in 23rd, Gattis in 20th. Do you think Gattis will get enough ABs to be worth the keep?

Paul Sporer

3:08

Ya I do think he gets enough PT and 20th round is nice. I'd go Gattis and Odubel.

14 Team Mixed Keeper ... Thoughts on a $7 Tommy Joseph

Paul Sporer

3:08

Solid guy. Could pop 30 HR with full time and I don't see a lot of players pushing for his time at 1B. Keepable at $7, but not necessarily automatic.

J-KC

Kershaw at $41 or Duffy at $4 Keeper? 23 year league, inflation is always 23%'ish

Paul Sporer

3:09

Love the savings on Duffy, but I think you're actually getting substantial savings on Kersh at that inflation so I'm going with him

Fake Bork

3:09

Villar is going to be eligible all over the IF this season, assuming he starts the year at 2B. Where does it make the most sense to play him if I have SS covered? 2b seems deep with good 2b, but 3b seems deeper with good hitters, if that makes any sense... feeling like Turner at 3B is a great late round pickup.

Paul Sporer

3:09

2B and 3B are both v deep so let the draft dictate that to you. I like getting Justin Turner later on for sure.

80 grade question asker

Paul Sporer

3:10

lol thanks

Larry David

3:10

Update that will surprise no one: Huston Street injured

Paul Sporer

3:10

No waaayyyyy

That sucks. Could be the end for Street if it's bad.

Jeremy

3:10

Keep two: LeMahieu, Cueto, Strasburg, Carrasco

Paul Sporer

3:10

Cueto and Stras

Onslow

3:10

How do you feel about punting SPs? I'm in 5×5 h2h league and since SPs were heavily overdrafted, my best SPs are mccullers and paxton.

Paul Sporer

3:10

Going to take a lot of legwork in-season to stay on the wire looking for the next Duffy and Paxton, but it can be done

Todd

3:10

Dynasty league, keep forever. Would you rather have Eloy Jimenez, Gleyber Torres or Austin Meadows?

Paul Sporer

3:11

Gleyber slightly over Meadows

3:11

What was your "real world" job before fangraphs/fantasy baseball?

Paul Sporer

3:11

I worked at Dell

Then at Tableau

YKnotDisco?!

3:11

I love how they tweaked that beat from it's original Techno roots. Loved it. New update: what now?

Paul Sporer

3:11

Big Tuna

3:12

What do you watch for in spring training? What influences your rankings?

Paul Sporer

3:13

Not much, it's mostly background noise, but I will keep an eye on health concern SPs. Wanna see how the reports on the stuff looks, how's the velo, are they reaching their pitch thresholds, etc.? We discussed this on the pod yesterday, too. I asked Eno the same Q.

Hannah Hochevar

3:13

You've shown historic love for Carlos Santana. Would I be foolish to keep him at $25, ALonly OBP? Auction Calc has him a few dollars above that, but not much...

Paul Sporer

3:13

Not at all. He's awesome in OBP!

Pipater

3:13

who do you like more...Finnegan or Folty?

Paul Sporer

3:14

Finny, but Folty was only 8 spots behind which is nothing in that range (they were both in the 70s)

Big Tuna

3:14

Brett Laurie was just cut. Should I care for fantasy?

Paul Sporer

3:14

Only if they make it clear that it was FOR Moncada, though I'm not sure he's ready so he'd be learning on the job and probably turn in a relatively meh fantasy season

It'll raise Moncada's cost for sure
