In a dynasty start up, how aggressively would you take prospects?

Paul Sporer

3:11

I'd be open to reaching on the Acuñas and Robleses (Roblii?) of the world, but I wouldn't be going too bananas with far off prospects in the first 8-10 rounds

808

3:11

why did you have to tease Eno so much to the point that he had to leave, paul, why?!!?

dick

Paul Sporer

3:12

He actually said chatter 808 was the reason he was leaving and giving up on life

Joe

3:12

Better asset to keep: Nick Williams or Altheer?

Paul Sporer

3:13

I'd go Nick Williams

Teoscar

3:14

Am I going to get sent back to the minors? If not what should be expected of me?

Paul Sporer

3:19

Yes, I think so :( I was so excited about him, too. Of course just bc he starts in the minors doesn't mean he's down there all year. Granderson & Morales aren't youngbloods and Grichuk has issues of his own so I think he'll get a chance at some point

Craig

3:19

Thoughts on Jake Flaherty and Gohara? Do you think they both start the year in the bigs?

Paul Sporer

3:22

I think both are slated to start in Triple-A barring an insane ST that forces their way in, but I see Atlanta having openings sooner than later and Gohara getting a look at some point in April

Eric

3:22

5x5 ottoneu league, current rotation is Scherzer/Verlander/Carrasco/Godley/Morton/E. Santana. Only have like $30 for auction. Am I too thin?

Paul Sporer

3:23

No that's a helluva rotation. Get a couple solid specs w/your $30 to round it out since you've got 2 older aces and Morton's health record, but I like that setup

Bryan

3:24

Would you rather have an $11 Willson Contreras or a $14 Aaron Nola in a 1 catcher league?

Paul Sporer

3:25

I love Nola, but probably gotta go Contreras at that price, even in a 1-C league

808

3:25

Jose De Leon...what do you make of him this year?

Paul Sporer

3:28

Very interesting post-hype guy arm who costs virtually nothing. He should be the first one up if he doesn't secure a spot out of Spring

Kyle

3:28

Is Chapman a top 5 closer in 2018? Top 10? Top 15? Top...

Paul Sporer

3:29

Ugh, now I'm mad I answered your question. I hate repeat questioners

Nathan

3:29

Chances that Wilson Ramos is a top 5 fantasy catcher? Top 3?

Paul Sporer

3:31

Certainly possible, he's one of my main C targets as he's usually the 9th or 10th C off the board

Erik

3:32

Obviously, you adjust to how any individual draft is going, but in general, in roughly what rounds to you plan on drafting your top 3 starters? How about your top 2 relievers?

Paul Sporer

3:33

Ya it usually depends on league format, too. I'm looking to have 2 SP and 1 CL in the first 10 rounds, but then it's wide open from there

toki

3:33

When will the positional rankings be ready?

Paul Sporer

3:34

Working on them and rolling them out in a couple weeks!

Tears for Fears

3:34

Where do you think Darvish ends up?

Paul Sporer

3:34

No clue at this point, but I'll say Minnesota

Jack

3:36

Who woukd you cut in a 12 team points- Adames borretto tapia or swanson

Paul Sporer

3:36

All of them? I'm not sure how many keepers everyone has, but if it's only cutting one, I'll say Swanson

toki

3:36

Willie Calhoun > Nomar Mazara

Paul Sporer

3:36

We'll see

Erik

3:37

Are people being overly cautious with Judge? He was a top-three earner last year, and he's going around the back of the first round/early second round, it looks like.

Paul Sporer

3:38

I don't think so. I'd go the other way and suggest he's being overdrafted. He was amazing in '17, but there's very little chance he gets *better* and regression could be particularly cruel given the real holes that still exist in his swing

JD15

3:38

I thought Matt Carpenter was penciled in at 1B...?

Paul Sporer

3:38

Tone

3:39

Paul, is there a $25 gap between Betts and Yelich? Looking at projections and it's hard to see that. I can keep one or the other.

Paul Sporer

3:39

Wait, what? No, definitely not. If one is $25 more expensive than the other, keep the cheaper one for sure

Charlie

3:40

Why do you love Mazara?

Paul Sporer

3:44

Because he's a really good hitter who acquitted himself well in two full seasons as a 21 and 22 year old. Definitely needs to improve vL to be a big time stud, but I think the fantasy baseball community is too harsh on guys who come up and aren't insta-studs.

would ray lankford be a god in todays game?
