Yo Paul. Loved the Podcast yesterday. Any thoughts on Arcia value moving up because of Yelich and Cain?

Paul Sporer

4:50

Thanks so much! As you can see above, I dig Arcia!

J Cueto

4:50

Velocity huh? I bet Luis Castillo never threw a karate kick on the field!

Paul Sporer

4:50

Thankfully

toki

Do you think that Swanson is over-hyped from a fantasy standpoint? I mean seriously the guy steals as many bases and, has as much pop as Tommy La Stella with worse plate discipline.

Paul Sporer

4:50

Last year he was. This year he's a complete afterthought.

Jim

4:51

Traded Harper/Bum for Machado/Hoskins/Acuna after you suggested I do so. I think I did well but I’m nervous!

Paul Sporer

4:51

I like that move, I really do. Tough to move Harpsicle, but you got a nice return

BDay

Hey Paul, it's my birthday today and also happens to be out bidding day in a full keeper dynasty (great birthday present!). We are a 12 teamer with $200 budget and people are throwing all $200 at ohtabi, is that crazy or should I be going all in too?

Paul Sporer

4:52

Happy birthday! Wait, so it's a $200 budget to add players to your already-made rosters? If everyone bids $200, who gets him?

Mike

4:52

Do you think the chances of Profar not being stuck in Texas for the season are high enough to consider him as a keeper in a dynasty league over a Ben Gamel type player?

Paul Sporer

4:54

Nah, I think I'd keep Gamel

Chet

4:54

Paul, Please choose two: Willie Calhoun ($8), Marwin ($8) or Josh Bell at $9. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

4:54

Nice trio. I'm going Calhoun, Marwin

Mr. Blister

4:54

Thoughts on Aaron Sanchez? Keep in Otto @ $12? Thanks

Paul Sporer

4:55

I *feel* like he might go cheaper if you threw him back. At worst, I could see him going $12 again

Jon Dowd

4:55

Do you

Paul Sporer

4:55

I do not

Jay

4:55

If Trea Turner is the most expensive hitter on my fantasy team, my draft went ___?

Paul Sporer

4:55

Just find I'd imagine. He's a legit 1st round pick.

Jon Dowd

4:55

What pitchers do you see making the leap into the top 15?

Paul Sporer

4:56

I'll be writing an article on that later this winter!

toki

4:56

Why does everyone in my league hate the idea of trading for Josh Donaldson?

Paul Sporer

4:56

Fantasy baseball is quite ageist

No one wants to be holding the 30-something who declines so they're treated like hot potatoes at the first sign of trouble

Bobopedia

4:57

Nola injury concerns are overplayed. One elbow injury and one back injury in his career, not sure why he gets talked about as a ticking time bomb

Paul Sporer

4:57

Not really. They're played appropriately. It's not like he's going way late bc of them. He's a top 70 pick.

Bobopedia

4:57

Nola started 31 times in 2015

Paul Sporer

4:58

I meant MLB, of course

Alan Trammell

4:58

Is a 60/40% or even 70/30% pitcher/hitter budget split crazy in this environment? The teams in my league are going with big offenses and maybe an ace and a top reliever. I want to build a big staff and roll the dice on offense...am I crazy?

Paul Sporer

4:59

It's not crazy. Zigging can work when everyone is zagging or vice versa... however that phrase goes, but there's so much volatility in pitching bc of these HR totals that it could go sideways quickly. I like trying new things, though!

Yikes

4:59

You average a question about every 2 minutes, get an answer clock on this guy!

Paul Sporer

4:59

Cry about it some more.

Danny

4:59

Berrios (no round) or McCullers (10th round)?

Paul Sporer

4:59

Berrios for sure

4:59

Does the promise of a humidor at Chase take out the fear of tying fantasy championship hopes to Greinke and Godley? Castillo, Weaver, Godley--which ones to keep of 2?

Paul Sporer

5:00

Is it promised? It seems to be rumored and speculated upon regularly, but I haven't seen confirmation that it'll be there. That said, I'm fine taking those pitchers even if it isn't installed. Castillo and Godley for me.

Nathan

5:00

Most improved team this offseason so far? And who do you think will be most improved by the end?

Paul Sporer

5:00

LAA and probably still LAA

Toddrey Jeff

5:00

Do you think Scott Van Slyke has a decent chance of making the Marlins roster from Spring Training?
