Been enjoying Fantrax

What is Stanton worth in a keeper league trade?

Paul Sporer

3:41

Honestly, that's impossible to answer with zero info outside of it being a keeper lg

A lot, I guess

Jimmy

3:41

Do you think a three-way deal with Betances going to ???, prospects going to San Diego and Hand going to the Yankees makes sense?

Paul Sporer

3:42

I guess it could if the right prospects were involved from that 3rd team. But I'm not sure the Yankees are attacking the bullpen this offseason

Nick Senzel

3:42

Who is more likely to go higher in a fantasy draft next year, Pat Neshek or Adam Ottavino. I need to RFA one in a league.

Paul Sporer

3:42

Ottavino would seem more likely to be coveted to me

Pat G

3:42

As a rebuilding team, what do I do with Julio Urias?

Paul Sporer

3:43

Oof, that's tough. Probably just gotta ride it out since you're rebuilding. A sell low would only make sense if you were close

Jimmy Ballgame

3:43

Alex Reyes, Willy Adames, and Mags Sierra for stanton and treinen in a keeper....which side you got?

Paul Sporer

3:43

Side B for '18 for sure

Bennybadatroto

3:43

Haha I moved Acuna, M. Chapman, Cozens, Rodon, Bader, and the number three overall pick in minors draft for Arenado and Cutch. I'm sad after seeing what you said you'd offer for Acuna....doozy complete...lol

Paul Sporer

3:44

You got a top 5 bat and a really solid OF3. Still lots of questions in the return for your leaguemate

Jimmy

3:44

Who will be more effective next year? Jake McGee pitching in a normal home park or Mike Minor?

Paul Sporer

3:45

Interesting duo there. I don't think they'll be toooo far apart, but I really dig what Minor did so I'm going to lean toward him

RAP

3:46

How would you rank the following for next year - Albies, Acuna, Robles, Zimmer?

Paul Sporer

3:46

I think I'm going Albies, Acuna, Zimm, Robles

Any idea on the 2018 Buxton line? (As in baseball stats, not something witty he's going to say.)

fantasy question; OBP and holds are the 6th categories. 5 keepers are: Betts, Bellinger, Hoskins, Judge, R. Ray. Going to cost me $65. (ya I know) Should my plan be to go big (budget $170) on another 5 guys (2 SP and 3 position players) and then just pick up cast offs with my other 12 picks (I'd only have around $35 for the rest), or should I spread the money around?

Paul Sporer

3:49

If it's 10-12 teams, I'd definitely like the go big method as the castoffs will be pretty solid and you could spike a few studs outta that. If it's 15+, I'm more open to spreading the risk a bit, though even as I say that I look at your keepers and realize you're working with a lot of surplus value so maybe going big is the method regardless

Of course, you have to be prepared for what the auction gives you so don't get married to a plan

Bob

In a dynasty league would you an accept an offer of Devers and Hoskins for your Robles Bichette Soroka, Mitch White, TJ Zeuch, Vladimir Gutierrez, Jeter Downs, Ryan Castellani, and Dakota Hudson?

Paul Sporer

3:50

I don't have a full mental profile on a couple of those guys, but it seems like too much. Devers and Hoskins are here & now, but Robles & Bichette could be every bit as good by start of '19 plus all the other guys of which 1-2 could spike, so unless you're making your huge push this year, I think it's a stayaway

Dub

3:50

Angels spending their dongs off for Trout netted them Pujols and Hamilton, not the best strategy but it may be their only strategy

Paul Sporer

3:51

There's spending and then there's spending wisely

Ohtani wouldn't be anywhere near the Pujols and Hamilton deals. Don't need hindsight on either of those deals, they were sketchy from the jump.

3:52

And I'm not saying everything has to be big money deals. But reinforce the team via the market bc their system blows

Dub

6x7 keeper league
(R,RBI,TB,Ks,HR,SB,OBP x W,Sv,Ks,ERA,WHIP,QS)
Keep 3 of Lindor, Jose Ramirez(2B,3B),Bellinger(1B/OF), Scherzer

Paul Sporer

3:53

That's tough! Lindor and Ramirez are essentially the same so maybe it's worth only having one so you have diversity in your keeps. I might punt Belly, though

Nector Harris

3:53

in the middle of a contention window with a mostly set offense, have Kluber and Darvish locked up, need to build remaining rotation. Have option of 2yr contracts for Jose Quintana and Marcus Stroman at slightly above market value, and/or Charlie Morton and Michael Wacha at below market value. Any of those particularly attractive or unattractive to you?

Paul Sporer

3:53

Would prefer the two below market. A little nervous on Morton given his health record and extra workload this year, but I just love the stuff. Can't quit Wacha, either.

Pat G

3:53

I'm probably a year away from contending. Should I hold Urias and trade him right before he pitches in the majors to another rebuilding team on .80 on the dollar?

Paul Sporer

3:53

Yes, just hang tight for now

3:54

Unless that .75-.80 on the dollar deal comes along randomly

Minty

3:54

OBP dynasty would you trade any of my Hoskins/Bellinger/Rizzo for Ohtani? All 3 studs, but pitching is shallow and all 1B

Paul Sporer

3:54

Any of em, really
