Paul Sporer

Treinen and Thames

3:05

Can you text Eno and ask him what type of sandwich he ate today? We miss him : (

Paul Sporer

3:05

Who?

Zac

3:05

Ozuna for Gausman, tapia, Hicks in a dynasty?

Paul Sporer

3:05

Fair deal. I probably go for Ozuna between the two sides

jjp

3:05

Is Bumgarner a keeper at 27? NL only, 11 team

Paul Sporer

3:06

Ya that's pretty fair, especially when you consider inflation

Schoop of ice cream

3:06

Paul, why is it that adp for snake drafts is readily available, but there doesn't seem to be any publicly available average auction value? Secondary question, how would you go about converting round value into auction dollars for a keeper league thinking about making the switch?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Mainly because it'd be really worthless. Auction dynamics are so much more varied than draft dynamics that even an average value just wouldn't be that useful. And there also aren't many mock auctions and a lot of sites generate ADP from mocks. As for part two, check this https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/adp-to-auction-values-process/

Russell Archer

Have Arenado (1) and C. Seager (5) as keepers; for the last one (parenthesis is round pick lost): Ozuna (9), Benetendi (10), or Nola (14)?

Paul Sporer

3:10

Hmm, that's a great trio to choose from as I don't think you can go wrong. I think I'd go for Nola as a 14th.

LetHerEat

3:10

Keepers are Betts/Blackmon. For my 1st pick I'm curious about how i weigh the talent likely to available (possibly JD Martinez, or Dozier, Springer, Jose Ramirez, and the like) VS dropping down in the rankings a little to get Gary Sanchez bc of his talent/position?

Paul Sporer

3:11

If it's a 2 C, you could push Sanchez, but otherwise don't get too cute

Hey Paul, fellow Michigander here. Who is a better value in a deep AL only auction keeper league, J Polanco at $10 or Moose at $23? 3B will not be deep in the auction due to keepers; I have Bregman to fill either SS or 3B as needed. Moose worth extra $13? Thanks.

Paul Sporer

3:11

Woo, mitten represent! Moose isn't worth the extra $13 when you can shift Breg over, I'll go Polanco for sure

3:17

Puig, Pham, or Marcell Ozuna in a 5X5 leage with OBP replacing average?

Paul Sporer

3:19

I'll go Pham. The skills are there. While age-29 breakouts are rare, there's nothing about the actual performance that suggests he will collapse. If he's healthy, he's a stud

Kimo

3:19

Pick 3 keepers in an OPS league: Arenado, Goldy, Seager, Cruz, deGrom, Nola

Paul Sporer

3:19

Nolan, Goldy, deGrom

Kakie Bryan

3:22

Is there anything in Mazara's profile that might indicate a possible breakout? Seems like he was pretty much the same hitter between 2016 and 2017

Paul Sporer

3:26

Not really other than he's a high pedigree prospect who has held his own for two full seasons as the youngest and then 2nd-youngest qualified hitter in baseball. There won't always be flashing neon signs pointing to a surge. Hoping to see some improvement vL, but I like the player

Murray D

3:26

I'm in a 15 team Roto league where I keep 2 pitchers. I already have Kershaw, should I then keep Kenley or Verlander? Thanks.

Paul Sporer

3:26

I'd probably go Kenley. Could feasibly end up with the top SP and top RP.

Maris

3:26

10 team points league. You rather have Myers and Cody Allen or Osuna (Tor) and Jorge Polanco?

Paul Sporer

3:27

Myers/Allen

3:27

I recently started following you on Twitter. You do not look like what I had pictured in my head. Is that an insult or a compliment, who’s to say?

Paul Sporer

3:28

thanks for the follow. I don't think it's either, tbh, it just kinda is. you had a mental image and I didn't quite fit it. even if you thought I'd look better, I wouldn't be bothered

Michk54

3:28

What kind of year do you expect from Tanaka this year? Debating acquiring him in my auction league and he is pretty much at full price at $25 ($260 cap). Solid value? Thanks.

Paul Sporer

3:31

I'm still pretty obsessed - he was my AL CY last year. I think $25 is certainly fair, but it's upper end and thus there isn't a lot of profit potential in that price

Grand Barn Door

3:31

How do you feel about tethering barnes and grandal in a 1 C league, similar to RB's in football? I've got the turn and 14 picks from rounds 6-13 in a 5 keeper 12 team, so thinking of going back to back rounds 9/10 which is players around adp 180, and barnes has 2b eligibility

Paul Sporer

3:32

The 2B eligibility is nothing. Never play a guy with C-eligibility at any other position. I do like pairing them if you have the ability to switch them in and out

Slander

3:32

Maybe a better question - Dahl, Margot, Polanco, Altherr - do you see a breakout in this bunch?

Paul Sporer

3:32

I really like Margot and Polanco a lot, tbh

Joe

3:32

Last keeper in a 12 team points (no negative points for K's): Mazara for 10 or Moncada for 6?

Paul Sporer

3:33

I just sang the virtues of Mazara so I'm fine with him at the price, but I'll go Moncada at nearly half the price

Benjamin

3:34

Acuna is eligible april 16 but might not be in ATL until that weekend

Paul Sporer

3:34

Oh was April 16th the first day? I literally just gave a date lol

Tanger

3:34

Hey there... to be to the point, players can be kept for 2 years after drafted. I am keeping Trea Turner and need to pick one other - both choices are first year. Rhys Hoskins (12) or Marcell Ozuna (9)

Paul Sporer

3:34

I'll go Ozuna -- lotta Ozuna q's today

Benjamin

3:34

Am i crazy that I would much rather have Carlos Martinez than Severino when you factor in ADP? CMart going 2 rounds later
