Bad for business

4:29

Is doubling up on Billy Hamilton & Byron Buxton in the same OF a mistake for fantasy? I feel like I’d be losing out in too many categories with this duo.

Paul Sporer

4:30

Ya you're really putting yourself behind the 8-ball in power and AVG by getting both and probably have an overkill of SB that you will NEED to trade which just adds more work in-season, espec. if your league is tough to trade in

Bones

Hi Paul, thanks for the weekly chat. Keeper question, which side you take: Lindor at $11 with Kyle Tucker as a minor league at no cost for Corey Seager who is $1 and won't count against my keepers. 11-team, 5x5, $280 league with 6 keepers.

Paul Sporer

4:30

Ooh damn, that's tough. I think I gotta Seags at a buck but I can see a case for either side so the margin isn't MASSIVE

Clay Achin'

kakie baker won't leave my house

Paul Sporer

4:32

Stop inviting him over, you know he never leaves without overstaying his welcome

Do think Chris Sale is just going to remain healthy like Buehrle did? This ability to avoid serious injury is impressive.

Paul Sporer

4:33

It's a little trite, but you're only healthy til you're not as a pitcher. I don't tag any EXTRA injury risk on Sale the way many did throughout the early part of his career, but all SPs have real injury risk

Player to keep Senzel or W. Calhoun?

Paul Sporer

4:33

Calhoun for me

What is ATC on the projection page? Thanks

Paul Sporer

4:38

It's Ariel Cohen's projection https://twitter.com/ATCNY

Slamboni

4:38

How do you approach a draft with so many unplayers left unsigned? Ex: I know that Darvish should be good next year regardless of where he goes, but would him ending up in Texas change his ranking if he ended up back in LA?

Paul Sporer

4:39

It's a little unsettling for some of the guys, but most won't have their outlook vastly changed by their eventual landing spot. It creates some value in the market in the leagues where they are pushed down out of fear

Bones

4:39

You're awesome, thanks Paul

Paul Sporer

4:39

Hey thanks!

Thoughts on Mike Minor as a bench add late in an auction?

Paul Sporer

4:40

Mehhh. I'm not super stoked on him returning to the rotation given his health and generally underwhelming performance there before. I'm open to adjusting my thoughts after we see some spring, but I'm tepid on him rn

Pat

4:40

Has FG announced how they will handle Ohtani yet?

Paul Sporer

4:40

Whattya mean?

Ryan

4:40

What in the world is going on with the steamer Stanton projection?

Paul Sporer

4:40

Bananas, right? And projection systems are always conservative by nature

Mathenaging

4:40

Trade away Justin Turner for Christian Yelich?

Paul Sporer

4:40

Ya I'm cool with that

Estevao

4:41

i'm here

Paul Sporer

4:41

*phew!*

T Walker

4:41

Will my bone spurs keep me from being drafted?

Paul Sporer

4:41

They were removed in the offseason *last* year

Mad Max Scherzer

4:42

Is it possible I am actually underrated for this year?

Paul Sporer

4:42

Probably not. Pretty firm first rounder

Clay Achin'

4:42

i changed my launch angle at work. I work at nasa

Paul Sporer

lulz

Clay Achin'

4:42

Any truth to the rumours that Jharel Cotton bought a $215-million Hollywood mansion last year based on all dat helium???

Paul Sporer

4:42

double lulz

MLB Network (Shredder) said, Trevor Story and Tim Beckham are(were) top 10 SS, 9th and 1oth to be exact, your thoughts on that, i disagree

Paul Sporer

4:43

I like both players, espec. Story, but I thought it was bananas. DeJong, too. Shredder had a rough one with SS, IMO

Will Myers

4:44

If I stop stealing bases, am I borderline waiver fodder in an obp league?

Paul Sporer

4:45

I mean, I guess if you zeroed out in SBs and it was an 8 tm league, sure. But 30 HR/.330 OBP would still be useful in most leagues even without the SB. Can't see him just NOT running at all, though

Estevao, you're putting the EXACT same comments you put last week

Trevor

4:46

Would you rather own Hosmer or W.Myers as your first baseman in 2018 fantasy?
