Kind of a general question: In my keeper we trade future auction dollars for players. Example: Kershaw was traded for $40 auction dollars. Person getting Kershaw had $40 fewer auction dollars to work with for keepers and the draft. I;m in win now terriroty. How much would it take to sell a key player (like Bumgarner) to make it enticing? $30?

Paul Sporer

3:23

Ya I think something in the $30s would be enticing. Flags fly forever

3:24

Villar can't steal if he doesn't get on base, and I drafted him to hold down steals. Should I be worried?

Paul Sporer

3:26

He's got 4. I think he'll be OK

Moltar

3:26

Hey Paul, we're calling you up to start for the Mets tonight. Can you play 4 positions at once? Great, thanks.

Paul Sporer

3:26

Wooo, I'm in! #BugsBunny

Bobby Higginson

3:26

Please tell me why I should hang on to Zach Davies and Tyler Anderson in NL Only!

Paul Sporer

3:27

There simply might not be anyone better, but I totally hear you. Anderson at least has his skills in check. I would be looking to cut Davies at this point. Hell, I AM doing so in two leagues, including an NL Only

Thoughts on Addison Russell? Legit breakout coming? Got an offer of Harvey + Russel for Correa (I get Correa)

Paul Sporer

3:27

I'm a huge Russell believer and have been for a while now. I still do this deal for Correa.

Someone dropped Gausman in my 10-tm mixed H2H. Standard scoring with QS. Worth a pickup? Would have to drop Charlie Morton, Kendall Graveman, VV, or Gio Gonzalez.

Paul Sporer

3:30

I'm souring a bit on Gausman, even in a short sample. I totally understand doing it as Morton and Graveman are hardly must keeps, but it's not as BLATANTLY OBVIOUS to me as it once was. Just not seeing growth in Gaus

3:30

Are you worried Giles won't hit 30 saves this year?

Paul Sporer

3:31

Ya, he doesn't look great and they won't be afraid to remove him if he doesn't sharpen up

3:32

Thank you for the Vargas article. Auction started for him in my league last night and I was unsure but this gives me a little more confidence to take the gamble with the space I have.

Paul Sporer

3:33

Ya I think there are enough supporting skills to roll with Vargas for now. You can have that quick hook with him, though, for sure.

Ian

3:33

Are you buying into Lindo'

Paul Sporer

3:33

Definitely, he's a superstar

I have Alex Bregman in a 12 team dynasty league. After reading Blengino's contact quality piece on him (not to mention his stupid Twitter takedown of Odor's WBC bat flip) I lost confidence in him as a prospect. Am I overreacting? Is there still a strong possibility he's a Pedroia type hitter? Or should I try to get something for him while there's still some bloom on his rose?

Paul Sporer

3:34

I'm staying the course. I've seen a lot of Pedroia in him, too. If cut every white guy who is a douchebag about Latino batflips, you wouldn't be able to field a team.

Lewis Brinson: Is he going to contribute this year?

Paul Sporer

3:35

I think so, yes

ChicagoCardinal

3:37

CarMart hiding an injury? Command looks way off.

Paul Sporer

3:38

Another WBC casualty? I don't think it's impossible, we've seen wildness before and this is in the range of outcomes for someone with a career 9% BB rate. I'd be buying at any discount, tbh.

mancheego

3:38

I'm 40 yrs old, white and into modern rock. do i give chance and kendrick a try? what albums do you recommend? I have never heard their stuff or drake's - ever.

Paul Sporer

3:39

I'd highly recommend both Chance and Kendrick. Coloring Book by Chance and good kid maad city by Kendrick. Thank Me Later by Drake is fire. His newer stuff isn't as good.

Leif

3:39

Which do you prefer: Jameson Taillon or Amir Garret and Jharel Cotton

Paul Sporer

3:39

I really dig Taillon.

ChicagoCardinal

3:41

Kiermaier a top 30 OF?

Paul Sporer

3:41

If he can hang in vL, I can see it. I was super hyped on him last year, too, and the injury cut him down

Cutch

14 team H2H. Kershaw and Turner for Goldy, Cesar, Wacha. Which side?

Paul Sporer

3:43

Kershaw, Turner... regardless of which Turner tbh

3:43

Believer in any of these guys long term? Wheeler, Pineda, Wacha, Severino. Who are you trying to trade, ride,

Paul Sporer

3:45

I love Wacha. Pineda isn't changed yet in my eyes. Sevvy and Wheeler have real upside. I'd be looking to sell the New Yorkers in order of Pineda, Wheeler, Sevvy -- I list Pineda first bc he's going to return more than Wheeler, but Wheeler is my least confident of the bunch

Ruben Tomorrow Jr.

3:45

Should I do Kris Bryant for Eric Thames?

Paul Sporer

3:45

lol

ChicagoCardinal

3:45

What are you looking to get back for Thames?

Paul Sporer

3:46

Strengthen multiple spots if I can. Or super-charge one (like an SP)
