Any hope left for Souza?

Paul Sporer

3:36

Ya, can be a 20/15 guy with some health

MarinerDan

3:36

Machado's value is high, no doubt. But he went from 20 steals to zero last year. Do you see him getting back into double-digit steals this year? If so, you could make an argument that he should be taken off the board at no. 2.

Paul Sporer

3:36

I don't really see him stealing a ton, no.

Greg

3:37

Gsellman or Wacha in a standard 5x5?

Paul Sporer

3:37

Wacha

Edwin Encarnacion

3:37

Should I trade myself for George Springer in a keeper league?

Paul Sporer

3:38

Yeah, I probably would. Similarly ranked, take the younger guy

Pablo

3:38

What do you think of Rizzo/Correa at the turn in a 12-team draft?

Paul Sporer

3:38

LOVE Correa, but prefer someone else to Rizzo. Cabrera or Votto if you want 1B

Recca

3:38

Carlos Santana or Hanley Ramirez? League counts OBP not AVG.

Paul Sporer

3:39

they're just about even. I'd take Ramirez personally

El Guapo

3:40

I traded Kershaw and Rizzo for Scherzer, Springer, and $30 in cap space. Am I an idiot?

Paul Sporer

3:40

No, I don't think so

Wil

3:40

Paul - how many beers would it take you to be convinced that Ryan Schimpf is a top 15 MI option?

Paul Sporer

3:40

I don't drink anymore so I'd probably be lit on like 2-3 and take him as my starting 2B lol

MarinerDan

3:40

Are you taking anyone OTHER than Mookie Betts at #2?

Paul Sporer

3:41

Goldy, Arenado, Harper are all considerations there, too. I don't think Betts is LOCKDOWN #2

Greg

3:41

You buying any shares of mitch haniger this year? If so, how shallow of a league is too shallow. For a $1 he seems like a contributor in even shallow leagues.

Paul Sporer

3:42

Yes, Jason scooped him for us in the LABR reserve rounds and I'll get at least one more. A dollar gamble in shallower leagues is viable just to see. Worst case is you cut him. So many late options in 10 and 12 tms, you might as well go for who you think could breakout big time

Bobby

3:42

Would you give Sano a 3 year, $15 deal or 1 year, $5 deal in a 20 team mixed? My last tough decision.

Paul Sporer

3:43

I'd just go the one year

Zach

3:43

Can Vogelbach be a top 15 First baseman if he gets the playing time this year?

Paul Sporer

3:43

He was just sent out to AAA, but either way, no I don't think

ChicagoCardinal

3:44

Take it easy there Pauk, there's people holding chatters accountable today. One fine man asked Eno if he is an alkie early.

Paul Sporer

3:44

Omg

Martin

3:44

Is Schoop a 2B version of JJ Hardy? Super cheap MI power that's always overlooked?

Paul Sporer

3:44

Interesting comp. Ya I like Schoop at his price even if he doesn't really improve

Renard

3:44

Why does Votto seem to be ranked so much lower than Rizzo and Cabrera? What am I missing here?

Paul Sporer

3:45

Overrating of the lineup penalty for him in Cincy.

Sam

3:45

Berrios' WBC appearance last night.. reason for hype? Hope for 2017 relevance?

Paul Sporer

3:45

I had hype for him prior to the WBC. An uber prospect who faltered in the bigs but was still great in the minors so it wasn't a totally lost year. Targeting him late for sure

MarinerDan

3:45

Would you bump Bumgarner ahead of Scherzer this year given the finger issue? What about Sale?

Paul Sporer

3:45

Totally OK with Bum getting moved to 2

Ian

3:46

Final pick in NL league for '17 only - Almora or Cahill (if in SD rotation)?

Paul Sporer

3:46

Almora
