I'm bad at assessing those things in the moment and we've gotten some amazing postseasons the last few years, but it HAS to be quite high on the list. Doesn't pass Gm 7 last year or Gm 6 of Tex/StL for sure

I am the walrus

12:10

After 2 year of suckage at the plate can a young J.Hayward figure it out again?

Paul Sporer

12:11

I'm certainly pulling for him, but I'm not sure we'll see early Heyward again

Jota P

12:11

With the rise in shifting, especially third basemen playing around second base so much, is it an advantage having a former SS like Bregman at third?

Paul Sporer

12:12

Even without shifting, it is. They basically have 3 SS as I think Altuve could hold SS if necessary while Correa and Bregman are fantastic

Matt

12:12

That was $5 for Nova and Davies

Paul Sporer

12:13

Solid prices. I could see keeping Nova at that price, but prefer the hitters

12:13

Do I get something healthy or something twice as delicious for lunch today?

Paul Sporer

12:14

Delicious! Delicious!

how are the yankees going to deal with their infield with Torres coming up next year, and their already crowded outfield with Clint? This year was a little simpler in the infield with Bird's injuries and Ellsbury and Hicks out in the outfield, but assuming everyones healthy, how are the yankees going to balance things next year?

Paul Sporer

12:18

It's kind of a copout answer, but it's also true - it'll figure itself out. I can't recall a time where a team had an overload talent that didn't eventually sort itself out via injury, position change, performance change, or simply trade

Moltar

12:18

I have made it my mission to see that people recognize the supreme adequateness of Seth Lugo, who went completely undrafted and unranked in both your SP tiers and the too soon mocks. He posted 1.7 WAR in only 100ish innings! He has a really great pitch with the curveball! He gets grounders and doesn't walk people! Sure he's got the partial tear to deal with, but his rotation spot is assured. I'll be drafting him in the late rounds even if nobody else will.

Paul Sporer

12:18

Eno, is that you? Aren't you supposed to be at your appt?!?!

Paul Sporer's BIGGEST FAN!!!

12:18

I gotta know paul, yea or nay on next years yankees?

Paul Sporer

12:19

Gotta be honest - yea. I mean, I guess we'll see who they bring in, but they're loaded with more on the way.

Marcus Banks

12:19

Franceser has fawgawt maw about baseball then you'll eva know umkay

Paul Sporer

12:19

lol

Matt

12:21

Loved the SP Guide in past years, any thoughts about bringing it back??

Paul Sporer

12:21

News on that in the coming weeks!

12:21

Alex Bregman has been pretty awesome since the all star break. Where do you see him going in drafts next year if he still has SS eligibility?

Paul Sporer

12:22

He went a very nice 69th in Justin's drafts - https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/2018-too-early-mock-drafts-final-adp... I think he's a 6th rounder in 15-teamers at the latest

JD15

12:23

After getting left out of the playoff rotation, do you think that Clevinger will have a spot in the rotation next season or will he be a swing man?

Paul Sporer

12:24

I think he gets a shot to start

Steve O

12:25

Are you high on Benintendi? Am I the only one who sees more slightly above average regular than future star?

Paul Sporer

12:30

I'm on the future star side. A fantastic collection of skills, especially for fantasy with pop, speed, and AVG.

Adler

12:30

What will the yankees rotation look for at this time next year?

Paul Sporer

12:32

Tanaka, Sevvy, Gray, Montgomery, TBD --- could go a lot of ways with the other spot. They've got prospects coming up and of course could go trade/FA route

Wide Awake Sleepers?

12:32

The infielders most likely to make the jump from top 10/12 to top 5 at their position are . . . (Rhys? Devers? Bregman? Schoop?)

Paul Sporer

12:38

I like your picks, espec. Bregman and Rhys (Schoop had his breakout and while I buy what we saw, I'm not sure there's ANOTHER level still). Barnes, Turner, Correa, TTurner, and the aforementioned Benintendi

JD15

12:38

Is this the offseason to sell Buster Posey in a dynasty league? When is his drop off coming? I don't want to hold too long...

Paul Sporer

12:42

I think he'll still be good in '18, but if you want to ensure you don't get caught holding the bag AND get a big return, selling this offseason is a good idea

Pie

12:42

Long live Eno

Paul Sporer

12:42

We <3 Eno!

Dan

12:42

$39 too much to keep Seager?

Paul Sporer

12:44

Given inflation, I could see keeping him at that price depending on the league specifics (how deep, NL only?)

Richard

12:44

Some readers are dicks - get over yourselves

FAN

12:44

SAMMICHES!

Pie

12:44

Remove the stakes of the game, was last night crazier than game 7 last year?

Paul Sporer

12:45

Can't remove the stakes, though. Too intertwined. That said, it was an amazing game last night. Before a further investigation, highest I can get it in last decade per the earlier question is third behind Gm 7 last yr and Gm 6 Tex/StL
