Paul Sporer

3:13

Very high. He's criminally underrated.

3:13

Where do you think Kershaw should go in a 10 team H2H points league?

Paul Sporer

3:13

Top 5

Risky

3:13

McCullers, Nova, & Shoemaker anchor my starting staff. Am I crazy? I don't trust pitching & would rather load up on offense settling for some high risk/high reward pitching

Paul Sporer

3:14

A little crazy, yeah, but it's plan you've committed to so it can be managed. Just stay diligent and supplement the staff if they don't pan out as planned.

MarinerDan

3:14

Any argument that Freddie Freeman should be the #2 ranked 1B?

Paul Sporer

3:14

Not for me, no

Marc

3:14

Tanaka or Matz?

Paul Sporer

3:14

Tanaka for sure

Henry

3:14

How worried should I be about having a $25 Jason Kipnis on my team for Fangraphs points?

Paul Sporer

3:14

Eeek, pretty worried, sorry

Don Von Handburger

3:14

I'll probably need a late-round steals guy for my mixed league. Which of Jose Peraza, Jose Reyes, Dyson, or Jankowski do you like best? Set aside the value of their SS-eligbility or lack thereof. Are they just close enough I can flip a coin?

Paul Sporer

3:15

I don't think Peraza will be available late. Gimme Dyson or Jank

Jose Peraza

3:16

Am i being over-hyped? Should my owner not trade me for guys like A. Diaz or Josh Bell? <NL only Keeper league, these players all have around the same contract and $ value>

Paul Sporer

3:16

I get the hype. Could be a major SB asset for sure. I might deal for Diaz if I had other SBs, but not for Bell in any situation

Minty

3:16

Do you prefer Bellinger/Fulmer or Beni in an OBP keeper?

Paul Sporer

3:16

Belly/Fulmer

Justin

3:17

Can keep Greg Polanco as a 4th rounder in a points league, is that an overpay?

Paul Sporer

3:17

No, HUGE on him this year.

Evil Goatee Paul

3:17

Is an outfield of A. Pollock, S. Marte, S. Piscotty, B. Buxton, and H. Renfroe a little too risky going into the season?

Paul Sporer

3:17

A smidge perhaps bc of Pollock's groin injury, but it's workable.

Brian

3:18

It doesn't look like he'll start the year in left for the Jays, but could Dalton Pompey be a post hype kinda stud guy this year?

Paul Sporer

3:19

Yes, the combo of skills plus potential playing time is nice. Though he is battling a concussion right now and those can be awful

Bert Campaneris

3:20

For the first time ever... I drafted Kershaw. Then, this morning on the way to work, I was listening to you guys talk about the "Lockdown Studs", and how you both prefer to stay off that tier based on risk. After drafting both Kershaw and Thor... I feel like the famous Homer gif:

Paul Sporer

3:20

LOOOOOOL. That's just bc we're arrogant enough to think we can mine the mid and late rounds for SP talent. Nothing *wrong* with Kershaw/Thor combo

In fact, it's really hot

Seth Lugo

3:21

I have no chance at the #5 now with Gsellman's continual Spring pitching, but am I gonna get 10-15 starts? and will I be decent?

Paul Sporer

3:21

Ya, I think he's a solid NL only stash

Jim

3:21

Who is the best value C for this season?

Paul Sporer

3:22

Maybe Welington Castillo?

Jack

3:22

lmao

Paul Sporer

3:22

Woo, I made you laugh an hour ago!

Paul Sporest

3:23

How much do names impact whether you take the question?

Paul Sporer

3:23

LOL

Andrew

3:23

Is this the year nick castellanos puts it all together

Paul Sporer

3:23

He was doing that last year until the injury, so I think we see him continue to develop

Sleeper Star

3:23

Think Bradley Zimmer will have much of a fantasy impact in a 12-team standard 5x5 league in 2017? What do you think his stats will look like this season?

Paul Sporer

3:24

I wouldn't draft him in 12 tm unless reserve rosters are huge, but I do think he can come up and make noise. Been vocal about Naquin being pushed this year, though he is rakin in spring trying to make me look silly, but at 30+% K rate, he won't hold up

Andrew

3:25

Trout/Kiermier/Moustakas or Thor/Dee/Trumbo? 12 team, 5x5 roto. Thanks.

Paul Sporer

3:25

Trout side

Connecting…
