Paul Sporer

4:21

Ya, I'm cool with that

Mario Mendoza

4:21

So you think JoMart plays 1B and Carp 3B, rather than Carp 1B and Gyorko 3B??

Paul Sporer

4:21

Yep

Pablo

4:21

What's your best guess for Eduardo Nunez plate appearances this year? Worried that I shouldn't have drafted him given unknown landing spot.

Paul Sporer

4:23

480. Understand your worries, but speed guys can succeed even on shorter workloads plus he his positional flexibility helps

Better OF keeper at $8? Gardner or Inciarte?

Paul Sporer

4:23

Inciarte

Tyler

4:23

I have the 2nd pick in a minor league draft. Assuming Acuna is taken, would you go with Vlad, Ohtani, or Robles?

Paul Sporer

4:23

Ohtani

Mario Mendoza

4:23

are you going back to the well on Gregory Polanco?

Paul Sporer

4:24

I am, yes. I know the shoulder is a concern, but I'm still willing to bet on him, especially 100 picks cheaper than last yr

Gary

4:24

I don't really get your comments on the pod about Godley. You wouldn't blame people for taking Blake Snell over him? Go look at Godley's numbers last year. K/9, Sw Str, GB%, WHIP, SIERA, xFIP, etc. is all very good/elite (Top 25). And probably only get better with humidor. Can you explain your thoughts deeper on him?

Paul Sporer

4:27

Ya, no, I'm aware of his numbers from last year. I've been hyped on Godley for a good while now. But that doesn't mean he'll just repeat those numbers, that's not how it works. I don't think the true talent of the two is so far off that Godley MUST be valued ahead of Snell. Drafting solely off the previous year's numbers is never a great strategy

Status of the 2018 SP Guide? I need to know how aggressively to draft Luiz Gohara and Brent Honeywell

Paul Sporer

4:28

No independent SPG this year, but I contributed the pitcher profiles to the Fantasy Black Book, now available -- https://www.amazon.com/Fantasy-Baseball-Black-Book-2018/dp/1976890519/...

Nicky

Is Giles the closer heading into the year? Will he have any rope?

Paul Sporer

4:30

Ya he's definitely the guy headed into the season. He has some rope, but he seems to lose the job for a spell every year. Solid mid-tier closer, but I wouldn't take him in the top 100 which is where he's currently going

1B value

4:30

I’m often laughed at post draft year after year as I’ve settled for E.Hosmer in 3 out of the last 4 years. He’s not horrible, but a move to SD would worry me. Thoughts on Hosmer? Weak stock, or an undervalued 1B?

Paul Sporer

4:31

Why would a move to SD worry you? KC is a horrible park and SD's arrow is up while KC's is down so I think it'd be a slightly net positive move

Bob Villar

4:31

Better OBP dynasty asset, Calhoun or Albies?

Paul Sporer

4:31

Albies

Zigs

4:31

Can Devers finish the season as a top 6 3B?

Paul Sporer

4:31

if he puts his mind to it!

Astros 2019

4:31

When will the ATC projections be available on the player pages?

Paul Sporer

4:32

I'm not sure. I'll mention it to the technical team

4:32

Will the Rays ever bring up Honeywell or is he destined to stay in Durham forever? #FreeHoney

Paul Sporer

4:32

LOL, they'd freakin' better. I hope he's up relatively early this year

toki

4:33

Why do people fawn over quad-A players?

Paul Sporer

4:33

What?

toki

4:34

How valuable would Adam Dunn be if he was 28 yo?

Paul Sporer

4:34

What?

Joe

4:34

FYI Gyorko penciled in at 3B, Carp at 1B

Paul Sporer

4:34

Nah, roster resource has Martinez/Carp at 1B/3B

tacopocket

4:35

do you prefer the one stud this year plus a GLOB guy? or 2 semi studs? So Kershaw+corbin for $70 or carlos Martinez and degrom for $70?

Paul Sporer

4:35

in your example, I'd prefer CMart/Degrom for sure

Estevao

4:35

Hi Paul i understand it might be a little annoying to receive these messages with articles, and i won't send them anymore, but i'm a complete outsider, i know nobody in the community and attracting any viewer is hard, so i have to try something and it helps, but i'll stop, my apologies

Paul Sporer

4:36

No you don't. You've been told multiple times that spamming your stuff is no way to get noticed. Put out good stuff and it'll find an audience. Promote it on your social media and try to engage people in convos on social media and then they may check out your stuff. When you're ONLY self promoting, you instantly turn people off

tacopocket

4:37

JDM at $38 or Freddie at $36. 5 OF league. I assume you're saying Freddie but gotta confirm

Paul Sporer

4:37

Ya I love JDM, but I'll go Freef dog here

Dan

4:37

Re: Darvish landing spots, are there any particular suitors that would drastically affect his outlook one direction or the other?
