Not really, IMO. He survived in Texas for years so I'm not too concerned about a tough park or anything. Nor do I think he's trash after the two ugly WS starts.

By six more weeks of winter, I meant a lot of free agents won't sign until mid March!

Paul Sporer

4:38

LOL

Mario Mendoza

4:38

hats off to whoever wrote the FG unavailable page: FanGraphs is down for the moment.
Please rely on the eye test until we get back up and running!

Paul Sporer

4:38

They're testing database updates and unfortunately it's causing the intermittent outages

YOAT

I feel like the humidor in ARI isn't getting enough attention. Destroys the value of Goldy

Paul Sporer

4:40

It's not getting a lot attention bc there's NO concrete info on it. I also think its effects are wildly overstated. I don't think it kills Goldy if it does actually come to fruition

Mark

4:40

Which one would you keep between $20 Eaton, $10 Felipe Rivero or $5 Dahl

Paul Sporer

4:40

Without knowing league type, I'll say Rivero

Brian

4:40

Is Devers a keeper for $3 in an OBP league where other options include Quintana, Junis, Fulmer, and Dahl at same price?

Paul Sporer

4:40

Of course

Mark

4:41

A $1 Robbie Ray is worthy of a $5, $10 or $15 raise?

Paul Sporer

4:41

$5 max. I don't like extending SPs as a general rule, but $6 is still a great price

4:41

Paul....love you...18 team, 5 keeper points league. Thinking about trying a new strategy this year because guys in my league don't value pitching. Im currently keeping Carrasco, Castillo, Cole, Samardzja, and Ray. All for $67 of a 260 budget. Am I going to much with arms or do you think it could work?

Paul Sporer

4:42

Very interesting. I'd need to know the potential bats you're bypassing to feel fully confident in an answer, but that cost for those five is very good so I can get behind it. Still plenty of $$ to buy bats

tacopocket

mets can't sign lomo. smith, gonzalez and bruce are at 1B. we already have nimmo on the bench so Of is pretty crowded too. Can lomo play 2B or 3B? Or catcher?

Paul Sporer

4:44

Ya it's crowded, but I'm not sold on AGonz being anything and don't love Smith, either. Think Bruce is starting in the OF. I get what you're saying. I was just scanning roster resource for the crappiest 1B starter and saw AGonz

Harry

4:44

Somebody should point out to whiny agents that it takes two to make a market. Things will start to move when the top guys holding out get realistic. Disagree?

Paul Sporer

4:45

I mean, it depends what they're being told is "realistic". I certainly don't look at arguably the most stagnant market ever and come out thinking the players are the issue

tacopocket

4:45

acuna starting in the majors? or will they delay him a la Bryant?

Paul Sporer

4:45

Ya, I think he gets Bryant treatment and goes down for 10-15 days

Larry

4:45

Paul, I read your contribution to this year's Black Book with great interest. Do you think RPV applies to ottoneu or is it a different animal?

Paul Sporer

4:46

Thanks! RPV is Joe's baby, so I think you'd have to ask him about that and see if he's considered it for Ottoneu

Bern

4:46

Who was your favorite player growing up? Why?

Paul Sporer

4:46

Trammell and Clemens. Tram bc I was a Tigers fan and Clemens bc he was awesome

Matt

4:47

ZiPS is close to done. How long before they're on FG in aggregate, and how long until they folded into Depth Charts?

Paul Sporer

4:47

Not sure, would probably have to ping Dan on that one

Jake

4:48

Yeah, that AZ humidor really destroyed JD Martinez too...

Paul Sporer

4:48

Well it doesn't exist yet, but I just don't think it'll turn Chase into some offensive wasteland

DRMawson

4:48

Not going to ask a question because you guys never answer them. #JustLurking

Paul Sporer

4:48

Cool, dude.

Lou Sassole

4:49

First fantasy player that you followed from prospect-dom to retirement?

Paul Sporer

4:51

Hmm, not 100% sure, but I went to see Felix when he was on Tacoma against Round Rock bc I was so hyped on him

TGIF

4:51

Chances that Machado actually loses 3B eligibility heading in 2019? Already covered at SS, but if he can get out of BAL, is the best yet to come?

Paul Sporer

4:51

Pretty good I'd assume. I can't imagine why they'd want to move him off SS at any pt in the season

RIch

4:52

Paul keep 6, 11 team mixed obp league. Can lock guys in up to 3 years. Too early to go three on Albies at $6,11,16. Is two a safer play or would you throw him back in and hope to get him under 6 at auction?

Paul Sporer

4:52

I can't imagine him going under $6 so I'd definitely keep him. I'd probably go $11.

Cory

4:52

Keeper league, last keeper: Quintana or Paxton?

Paul Sporer

4:53

Gimme Q

Big Paulie on the Mic

4:53

Yo, I got mad hitting but my pitching's kinda weak, tell me which one of these guys should I keep? Gausman or ERod or Honeywell or Wacha? I'm already keeping Gerrit Cole and Chris Archer. We keep 12 dudes on 12 teams in this K/9 league, plus Quality Starts, that's the info that you need. Peace!
