Hello, everybody!

It's going to be a tight chat today, I've got to record with Eno, but we'll dominate this hour-plus.

How do I go about figuring out inflation in a new auction league?

I'm in a 12 team mixed redraft. HR, RBI, R, SB, OBP and QS- Am I crazy to target Villar round two? I have the second pick and hoping for KB, Villar, and Story the first three rounds. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:10

That'd be an awesome trio! I'm in on Villar for sure.

6x6 H2H league with QS (instead of W) and K/9. Keep $2 Manaea or $1 Cotton?

Paul Sporer

2:11

It's really a coinflip there, tbh, with the costs being so close. Who you like best personally? Go with him.

Steve

Got caught price enforcing on Rendon and now have 3 3b in Arenado, J Turner, and Rendon. I can start all three but could use Lf help. Trade Turner for Mazara and Quintana? League really emphasizes offense with OBP/SLG and QS/HLD/SV.

Paul Sporer

2:12

I really like Turner, but that's a pretty solid offer, so let's get it done!

Mike

2:12

I have my draft this Sunday. Can you please rank the order in which you would take the following three outfielders: Yelich, Cutch, Wil Myers. H2H with R, HR, RBI, SB, OBP as categories. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:13

Just as you have them listed

Was shocked to find out recently about Stu Pomeranz. Like finding out about the Berenstain Bears.

11 team, NL only roto 5x5 - last keeper spot down to Grandal $11, Lamb $14, Rupp $3 and Nova $6

Paul Sporer

2:15

Think I'm going Lamb, though I love Nova this year so keep an eye on him at auction.

Hi Paul, some chance to see Blake Snell start in AAA with his walk issue ?

Paul Sporer

2:15

Definitely, he's not guaranteed anything

Alex

2:15

Are you afraid of drafting Rockies players in dynasty league in fear they will be traded, at least Cargo, Blackmon, DJ

Paul Sporer

2:16

No, not necessarily. I'm not much for the "guess who's going to get traded" game. Cargo might be the only concern, but I also don't think he'd fall apart outside of Coors

Mike

2:16

Buying Jesse Hahn in deep formats?

Paul Sporer

2:16

Interesting speculation. I like that Eno got him for a buck in AL LABR

Tom Tango

2:16

Can Cub fans be any more sensitive after just winning the World Series? Saw your "dispute" with some of them over the Show rankings last night, laughing listening to their perceptions!

Paul Sporer

2:17

It was literally ONLY Cubs fans who responded to those, stanning for every Cub they thought was robbed. I knew Cubs fans at large (this isn't a dig at every single one of you) would become as insufferable as Red Sox fans AS SOON AS THEY WON. It was the easiest call ever. Vegas had it at -5000.

2:19

This dude couldn't tell the lists were for a video game and he was mad about it

@StoolFrederic You realize this isn't my list, right?

2:19

Drury. i'm crazy right? 2b/3b/of and he'll be hitting 2nd? i'm not drinking, btw

Paul Sporer

2:19

I'm big on Drury this year

Bob

2:19

Hey Paul! I don't know much about Benintendi. I can keep him for the next 3 years. Is he one of those "better real life than fantasy" players or should be tear it up fantasy wise?

Paul Sporer

2:19

I don't think he's going to be a fantasy beast this year, but you have to keep him for the next three bc the talent is great and he can certainly develop into a big fantasy asset

Tim

2:19

Ryu has looked pretty good so far. Think he makes a nice late-round flyer?

Paul Sporer

2:20

Definitely. Really hope he can stay health

bdgooch

2:20

Matt Moore or Zach Davies?

Paul Sporer

2:20

Moore for me

Clarkers at the Bat

2:21

Is it better to keep small dollar regulars in an 11team NL Only league, or better quality players at higher prices. for example, Drury at $1, vs Lamb at $14.

Paul Sporer

2:22

I think people keep too many $1 guys just BECAUSE they are $1. Your example would NOT be such a case, but I'm speaking generally. Torn on your example bc I really like both. Can't keep both?!

Mark

2:22

You have picks 2 and 4 overall, who are you taking and why?

Paul Sporer

2:23

2 of Arenado, Altuve, Goldschmidt, Bryant... because I want to win. I take Arenado at 2 after Trout and assume Betts goes 3, but he's obv part of the list if he doesn't

Dave Kingman

2:23

Feeling nervous about Seager's back issue and having him as a keeper. Should I be worried?

Paul Sporer

2:24

Understandable to be nervous, but not much you can do. You still have to keep him in just about any case.
