Big VV fan, but not sure he's $6 better then Eickhoff, so I'd go with Eick. And I'd probably go with Owings.

Too Cold

How do you generally allocate your bench spots in an -Only league? Let's say you have four to work with, do you dedicate each spot to a specific position/area or just fill up your bench with the best available values?

Paul Sporer

2:27

It kind depends on my team and what spots I feel I need to back up. I do like to make sure I have hitting and pitching. I probably allocate at least one spot to a speculative bullpen arm

Buck Showalter

2:27

Is it possible we can call Chris Davis a sleeper going into this season? Any chance he still has one more monster year in him?

Paul Sporer

2:29

Meh. He's still going top 80 or so. He's a batting average liability. I like the power, but how is he really different than the better Davis... Khris, who is available 20 picks later?

John

In 12 team mixed OBP leagues how many .320 guys can you offset with good OBP guys and still be competitive in the category?

Paul Sporer

2:29

Depends how good your studs are, but I'm sure you can roster a few

Rilson Wamos

2:29

Thoughts on Wilson Ramos this year? Can I bank on him to be a solid fantasy producer in the second half of the season?

Paul Sporer

2:30

No, I wouldn't bank on him for anything, tbh.

Jay

2:30

Happy Friday, Paul. Always look forward to Fridays a little more knowing it's your chat day.

Paul Sporer

2:30

Thanks, Jay!

NL only 5x5 auction keeper league. I can keep two of $2 Strailey; $1 Eickhoff or $1 Neris. Who would you keep?

Paul Sporer

2:30

Eick and Neris

Ruff Ruff

2:34

What are the 90% and 50% projections for Jon Gray this season? THANKS!

Paul Sporer

2:34

3.10/1.15; 4.40/1.40 -- lots of Ks for both scenarios

michelob ultra

2:35

I have Trea Turner as a keeper, but my SS is filled, so I'm likely to use him at 2B or OF -- which of those positions should I tentatively plan on using him at going into the draft in order to max his value?

Paul Sporer

2:35

Plan on OF, but you can adjust as the draft plays out if you need to.

Gest

2:36

I don't pay much attention to closers, what is the deal with the Angels? Where does Bedrosian stand for you?

Paul Sporer

2:37

I'm probably just avoiding that shitshow altogether. Bedrosian is the mostly high-skilled asset in the pen, but he is also an injury concern.

mtsw

2:37

Is Sam Dyson still the closer at the trade deadline? I get the sense he's on a very short leash.

Paul Sporer

2:39

yeah I get the same feeling for some reason so I'm speculating on Matt Bush in deeper leagues

Bill

2:40

Any late round catchers you particularly like?

Paul Sporer

2:41

Ehhhhh.... it's so ugly. Tony Wolters. As much as I like Tom Murphy, he's not guaranteed to be the guy.

Bill

2:41

Are you concerned about Dahl for this season?

Paul Sporer

2:41

Definitely. I like speculating on Parra.

Mike Milligan

2:42

Paul thanks for the chat 10 team points league: Scherzer and Beltre for Carlos Martinez and Arenado. Which do you prefer ?

Paul Sporer

2:42

CMart/Arenado

Chaco Chicken

2:42

Can Michael Wacha be an 8k/2.5BB/sub 1HR per 9 pitcher this season?

Paul Sporer

2:42

Absolutely, it's all about health, not skill

Joe

2:42

How do you typically handle your favourite targets in an auction? Do you try to call them out or hope that they fall through the cracks as late as possible? Any strategy tips you can provide in this regard would be much appreciated!

Paul Sporer

2:43

It depends. I will call out the high end ones sometimes just to get the strategy in motion. Also be ready to pivot if your targets go for way too much.

Mateo

2:43

Hi Paul , please pick 2 out of 3 to keep - Carrasco in the 6th, Benintendi in the 10th, Nola in the 18th.

Paul Sporer

2:43

Carrasco and Benintendi

catchers are terrible this year

2:43

Outside of splashing for Posey in my 12-team mixed league, doesn't it make sense to just take a flyer on a few guys like Murphy, Susac, etc. and see if one pans out in April?

Paul Sporer

2:44

Is it a one catcher league? I wouldn't quite BOTTOM tier, but middle tier is fine (Vogt, for example) if you don't want to splurge for Posey

Mitch Conners

2:44

Who would you rather have over the next three years...Mazara or Moncada?

Paul Sporer

2:44

I really like Mazara

Minty

2:51

Do you trust Nola's or V's health more?
