Drafted Sanchez at #77 and couldn't pass up Lucroy when he fell to me at #117 in a 10-team 1 Catcher league. How desperate should I be to move one of them to one of the teams with a shitty catcher?

Paul Sporer

3:03

Very. Can't start 2 Cs in a 1 C league so it's a wasted resource rn

@Aspergillus Fumigatus: Let's exchange e-mail addresses so we can cry together when Pollock and Marte both go down at the same time.

Paul Sporer

3:03

LOL

Seth Lugo

3:03

Do I really have a "dead arm" or is it a convenient excuse for Wheeler being in rotation?

Paul Sporer

3:04

Could have dead arm from going all out in WBC

Don Winkle

Hey Paul, do you know where I could find Spring Training batted ball data?

Paul Sporer

3:04

Not sure, tbh. Hit up @darenw on twitter and see if he has any for you

Hannah Hochevar

Re: Kintzler. You and Eno were talking about how sinkerballers, even with low K numbers, might actually be people who stick as closers. Could that mean Kintzler holds it down longer than expected?

Paul Sporer

3:05

Sure, sure, plus nobody really challenging, so that's totally fair. I'm just so meh on him

Eric

Have you listened to More Life? I've been trying but can't seem to get into it. I absolutely LOVED Take Care, it's one of my favorite hip-hop albums, but I just can't really get into his post-Nothing was the Same stuff. Is something wrong with me?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Nothing wrong with you. I'm liking a handful of the songs, but it's a bit more Viewsy that I would've liked

Guest

Thoughts on Abreu this year?

Paul Sporer

3:10

He'll be solid

Micah

3:10

Addison Reed worth holding onto in 10-team with Familia only getting 15?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Ehhh, I mean you can for a couple saves and then just cut him, but there's probably something better in 10 teamers

Eric

3:10

Need to add some more pitching depth in my 12-team league. Who do you like best? Finnegan, E. Santana, or Chen?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Erv

Lars

3:10

DeShields worth all the buzz he's getting?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Doesn't cost much so worth a shot

Rags

NL-only league and I kept deGrom, Arrieta, J. Ross, T. Anderson, and L. Lynn for 5 of my 6 SP spots. Is there too much boom/bust there or should I be feeling ok?

Paul Sporer

3:11

I'm not huge on Arrieta, but at least he's not your ace. Solid NL rotation

Estuary

3:11

Who do you like more this year Treinen or Bedrosian?

Paul Sporer

3:11

Treinen

Ian

3:11

In H2H Pts, would you deal Gsellman for Tommy Joseph if you need a 1B pretty desperately?

Paul Sporer

3:11

Yes

Dave Kingman

3:11

Would you rather have L. Martin or D. Desheilds in a 5x5 Roto League with OBP instead of AVG?

Paul Sporer

3:11

Davis

3:11

gotta a toughy...didn't really pay attention in draft and now I need to drop a pitcher and pick up a SS. Please help me with who I should drop. Thanks Rotation: Taillon/G.Richards/Valesques/Cotton/S. Dyson/T. Watson (along with Sale/Arrieta/Chapman/Giles)

Paul Sporer

3:12

Gotta drop Cotton, I guess

3:12

You ever done the punt saves thing in 5x5 H2H cats? Wondering if I can get enough value out of Miller, killer setup men and SP-eligible RPs to make it work (daily moves)

Paul Sporer

3:12

It's definitely viable in H2H

Lars

3:13

Adrian Gonzales gonna turn it back around this season?

Paul Sporer

3:14

Just an early power outage last year, otherwise he was himself

Philip

3:14

All things being equal, do you think it is easiest to acquire pitching or hitting via trade in-season?
