Don't see much difference. They're going 2-3 picks apart. Depends if you value the speed of Ramirez or power reliability of Freef

5x5 standard roto 10 tm, I can only keep 3 players and I'm trying to decide between $4 Acuna and $26 Kluber. If I let Acuna go, the Braves fan in my league will get him and never let go...

Paul Sporer

4:04

Sounds like you want to keep Acuna and I think it's perfectly defensible

Twoseamers

Can we find a home for Logan Morrison?

Paul Sporer

4:06

Feel like we gotta get Hosmer somewhere first. Maybe the Mets for LoMo?

fresh basil

4:06

Worse chatter? Repeat questioners or the "are you ever going to answer my question?" guy?

Paul Sporer

4:07

They're basically one in the same, but repeaters edge this one out lol

Pie Eaton Contest

4:07

Chances Swanson struggles enough for Albies to get SS eligibility?

Paul Sporer

4:08

Certainly possible, but while I don't love Swanson, I think he will be better than we saw in '17 and maintain the job with Albies holding down 2B

Would be pretty awesome, though

toki

4:08

Please tell me how I'm suppose to feel about Jorge Alfaro and Chance Sisco...

Paul Sporer

4:09

Cheap upside options, who both have a real shot at full-time roles. I particularly like taking a shot on Alfaro late

Old Fat Guy

4:09

Can Felipe Rivero attain "elite" tier rating, or say top 4 Closer status in 2018?

Paul Sporer

4:09

For sure, he's probably my favorite closer target

Jose De Leon

4:09

If I cannot get promoted to MLB, I'm gonna bring down fangraphs!

HappyFunBall

4:09

Main page says FanGraphs is down ... is this thing still on?

Paul Sporer

4:09

Oh no

Mr. Nor'easter

4:10

Do you think Carlos Santana will post comparable counting stats in Philly? Better park, worse lineup ...

Paul Sporer

4:11

Ya, I think he will. CLE was trash in '12 and he had a comparable season to his '17. And I think Philly will be better than a 68-win team (which is what CLE was in '12)

Austin Meadows

4:11

Is LF waiting for me in After super 2sday?

Paul Sporer

4:12

If you hit a helluva lot better than you did in '17

Anthony

4:12

What do you think about Derek Fisher? Seems blocked for now, but if you gave him 500-600 AB, where would you put him?

Paul Sporer

4:14

Check out Steamer 600 - http://www.fangraphs.com/projections.aspx?pos=of&stats=bat&type=steame...

Mario Mendoza

4:14

expect much offense out of JP Crawford?

Raul Gillette

4:15

Is it a priority to sell Scherzer this year in a dynasty league? Would Severino be a good target?

Paul Sporer

4:15

Whoops, didn't mean to post boht

both*

4:16

Crawford will be much better than Mendoza, lol. He's just 23 y/o. I think he'll be a low-.700s this year

Not sure it has to be a priority to sell Max, but I do like targeting Sevvy

NOT Golden Lumbers

4:16

Can keep 3 MIs: Moncada, Marwin, Gordon, Story

Paul Sporer

4:17

Think we gotta drop Marwin there even though I'm suuuuper geeked on Moncada

Matt

4:17

Yo, Paul - did you outsource your chat to a sloth today?!? Like, a sloth that knows how to type. You know, because sloths are slow.

Paul Sporer

4:17

Did you outsource your chats to someone who asks terrible and useless questions? Because, ya know, this is a terrible and useless question

Byron Buxton

4:18

Do you like me, Paul?

Paul Sporer

Marlin's Man

4:20

Hard to be enthusiastic drafting Marlins this year, especially guys like Starlin and JT. I was all pumped for a nice 2018 in the Bronx from Starlin but, alas, he's must be all but undraftable except for super deep leagues, right?

Paul Sporer

4:20

Ya I can't envision really drafting any Marlins at this point, even Realmuto, who I really like as a player

Hosmer Hops

4:21

Say Darvish ends up in MIN or LA. Would it be nuts for MIL to sign Hosmer and trade Santana for a pitcher?

Paul Sporer

4:21

I don't think they need Hosmer at all, though

Brian

4:21

In a ten team league, is Devers a worthy keeper over Cano if I am in contention?
