Paul Sporer

I am and yes, if he shows out. Even at 500 PA, though, I really like him

Buttz

2:45

So close to The Show but so far away

Paul Sporer

2:45

Soooo close and yet every day is agonizing

Odapm

2:45

Logistically speaking, does Alex Reyes start the year on the DL or in the minor leagues?

Paul Sporer

2:45

DL for sure

Jay

2:45

Know you and Eno were pretty 'in' on Mikolas as his early ADP. Backing him up any with spring struggles?

Paul Sporer

2:46

I mean, he's so cheap that I don't think there needs to be any change. The market will probably give you an even deeper discount now

The commenter formerly known as

2:46

I want to say Hello as well!

Paul Sporer

2:46

Slander

2:46

Dahl, Margot, Polanco, Altherr - am I in trouble at OF this season?

Paul Sporer

2:46

If that's it, yes, unless you're in a 15-team NL Only or something

Turp

2:47

Devers for Beni in keeper forever, 12 team, ops league - who you got?

Paul Sporer

2:47

Beni. Both high end prospects, Beni is a little more diverse skill set

Yeezy Season

2:47

Are you all in on Acuna as a lot of experts are? Trout light possibly in career?

Paul Sporer

2:48

Not giving anyone a Trout-anything tag, but I am in on him as having high probability to contribute immediately. I do worry a little that he skipped through those levels so fast that there was no time to adjust so he won't just extrapolate those #s for 5 months at the MLB level

Eric

2:48

Any shot Bradley is the Dbacks closer?

Paul Sporer

2:49

Definitely a shot. I'm a huge fan, but I can totally see them going w/Boxy or Hirano to keep Archie for 2-inning stints in the middle of the game. I'm still drafting him bc he's got value even without SVs

Jake

2:49

Benintendi or Yelich in the third?

Paul Sporer

2:49

Yelich for sure. All the comps last yr were that Beni is Yelich Jr., so gimme the fully formed version going to his best setup yet

Just Some Guy

2:50

and is Acuna worth holding onto if he's on your bench for ___ time?

Paul Sporer

2:50

League type and bench size really matter, but I'd hold up to a month in most situations

Just Some Guy

2:50

When do you think Acuna gets called up?

Paul Sporer

2:50

April 16th

Tony

2:50

Buying into Kyle Gibson's Aug/Sep? 59/13 K/BB in 63 IP, 3.55 ERA/3.54 xFIP after some pitch mix changes.

Paul Sporer

2:51

Mehhh, it was certainly schedule-influenced, too. I've been on the Gibson merry go round many times before so I'm pretty suspect about jumping back in

Randy

2:51

What catcher ends up on your roster the most in drafts?

Paul Sporer

2:52

Grandal, Barnes, Castillo, Ramos

Eric

2:53

Is Eric Hosmer Carlos Santana with one year of hitting for average? Or will San Diego ruin him

Paul Sporer

2:54

One year? He's a .284 career hitter. I think he'll continue to be himself in SD.

Derek

2:56

Hi Paul - I've got one keeper spot available in a 16 team league for either Albies, Felipe Rivero, Pham or Robbie Ray. Scoring categories are all standard plus triples, total bases, and holds. My other keepers are Stanton, Jose Ramirez, Posey and Strasburg. Which keeper would you take? I'm really tempted to take Albies because of the triples, but my league tends to draft for saves early so Rivero is enticing too... Who would you keep?

Paul Sporer

2:56

Albies for me

Seth

2:57

When is the earliest you are taking Albies in re-draft leagues?

Paul Sporer

2:57

75 is where I took him in The Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational

Sandy Ravage

2:57

Do you think Leonys Martin is worth a roster spot in an AL 10 tm roto? Love the idea of the steals, but not sure about ability/play time. Leonys or Teoscar Hernandez for 2018?

Paul Sporer

2:58

Ya I think he's worth a spot in AL 10 tm, but I do prefer Teoscar

Gest

2:58

How seriously are you taking Daniel Murphys injury?

Paul Sporer

2:59

Pretty seriously. Microfracture surgery is no joke and he's not going to be ready for OD

Bryan

3:04

With the 4 man rotation, are there any Rays relievers getting more innings that are worth monitoring?
