Paul Sporer

2:33

I'm cool with that, ay

Villar and Kelvin for Cueto and McCullers even in a 5x5? What about Sano, Duffy, Kelvin for the same two?

Paul Sporer

2:35

Both are fair, yes. I'd prefer the 2-for-2 just bc I like both sides

MarinerDan

2:35

What is the earliest slot you take Trea Turner in a roto, 5X5 draft?

Paul Sporer

2:36

We took him 10 at LABR Mixed, but Jason is huge on him so I was cool to push him a couple spots on my board. I'm looking more at the turn of a 15-team league (14/15 range)

Brian

2:36

RP's that have SP eligibility are super valuable in my league that uses SV+H (and K/BB). Who do you like the best this year? Phelps, Iglesias, Devenski, etc?

Paul Sporer

2:36

Really like Devenski, though I think Iglesias is the best bet for SV/HD. Devenski and Phelps are more likely to get starts at some point

Also, did you see that Kendrick posted a hint about his 4th album? Just a black background with IV on it but it's something. Pretty hyped

Paul Sporer

2:37

Oh snap! I did not see that

Gary

2:38

Shying away from Carrasco at all with the injuries already popping up?

Paul Sporer

2:38

I moved him down a bit, but not completely running away

Ted

2:38

Would you hold on to players like Devin Mesoraco or Delino Deshields in deep leagues or is the hope that they get enough at bats to be relevant non existent? Could drop both and add a couple top 100 prospects if I do.

Paul Sporer

2:39

I would hold on in deep leagues, espec. Deshields. I was high on him last year and it definitely flopped, but he's still just 25. Carlos Gomez is already nicked and Jurickson Profar's health has been a problem throughout his career so far

Bayside

2:39

Thoughts on whether it's DeLeon or Honeywell pitching for the Rays in 2017? Both?

Paul Sporer

2:39

They just love to slow roast their prospects so I haven't really been eyeing either in drafts despite liking both. I'd say DeLeon is much more likely to throw meaningful innings this year (75+)

Chaco Chicken

2:40

Heard anything about Suntrust Field? Will it play better for hitters or pitchers than Turner Field?

Paul Sporer

2:40

This is literally all I know about it

Here's a sneak peek of @SunTrustPark courtesy of @MLBTheShow!

Derrick

2:40

2017 Ozuna more closely resemble his 16' first half?

Paul Sporer

2:41

I think so, yes. Of course, he has to stay health. The June wrist injury clearly curbed his breakout season

Moelicious

2:41

Thoughts on Josh Bell vs. Travis Shaw vs. Steve Pearce for my CI slot? I have Bell but am underwhelmed by his .083, 0 HR spring training.

Paul Sporer

2:42

Not so worried his spring, but still prefer him 3rd of the bunch. Shaw is the clear winner in this trio for me. The Brewers love running and while he's hardly a burner, he could swipe 8-12 to go with his power output

Oaktown

2:42

Is Casilla the handcuff to have over Doolittle in Oakland? Assuming Madson begins the year as closer of course.

Paul Sporer

2:42

I don't want to believe that, but it may be the case. In other words, I have no idea.

Anthony

2:42

Hey Paul! I got the 3rd pick in a 10 tm h2h keeper league. Do I go with Bryce, Donaldson or Kershaw there?

Paul Sporer

2:43

In that setup, probably Kershaw. Too early for Donaldson, IMO, so it's definitely Kershaw or Harper

Oh man you sent that question three times in a row. I hate you so much now :)

Sporax V Hendermueller

2:43

Is Koda the closer in Washington? Or just a sub-par zep album?

Paul Sporer

2:45

LOL. They seem to be grooming him for it and his stuff is FILTHY. Sits 96-97 with a 90 MPH slider: http://www.pitcherlist.com/koda-glovers-slider-the-nastiest-pitching-g...

2:45

Hey Paul, which 2 of these 3 would you want: Bundy, Folty, Snell? 20-team 5x5 roto. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:45

Bundy and Folty

David Wiers

2:45

Today is national puppy day, and I've seen zero Charlotte snaps. Explain yourself. The people demand answers.

Paul Sporer

2:45

I'm a failure at life

2:48

Charlotte is raw. cc: @davidwiers

MarinerDan

Feels like Stanton is being penalized too much this year. Yes, he has been injured in the past, but last year was a freak incident. Yes, his lineup is a little weak, but the man might hit 50 taters! 17th ranked OF? Way too conservative. Agree?

Paul Sporer

2:50

Nah, I don't really agree. Listen, I love Stanton, but we make SOOO many excuses for him. Isn't 2016 Trumbo (47 HR, 108 RBI, 96 R, .256 AVG) kinda the upside at this point? That was essentially a $25 season last year.

2:51

One thing I will say in his favor is that I don't think he's as RISKY as people suggest. You can basically put high-20s HRs in ink almost regardless of how many games he plays and if you're in a shallower league, you're supplementing his missed time with something solid so I'm still eyeing him in leagues, but his price is fair

Joey G

2:51

What do you expect from buxton this year....he's been a keeper of mine the last 2 years and he's going to be on a short leash

Paul Sporer

2:52

Keep in mind he doesn't even have 500 PA yet and he's going to be 23. Expectations were high (understandably given the prospect hype), but I wouldn't necessarily be short with him. I think it's something like .260-20-20 this year
