Ya I don't really see a need to roster him in 10-teamer, but that's OK, that's the case for tons of guys. If he's clicking, you jump early. Healthy Hanley can still merk

Jon

4:07

Should I be pretty jazzed about trading for both Price and Tanaka this offseason?

Paul Sporer

4:08

I'm a pretty big fan of both, so yes

Mr. Freeze

4:08

Gallo or Ian Happ as my last keeper in a 14 tm 5x5? Either one in a very late round.

Paul Sporer

4:08

I'll go Happ, but it's close

micheal taylor or g polanco in 6x6 (ave & BBs). Dynasty league, but primarily looking at 2018

Paul Sporer

4:10

I'd go with Polanco

Don't ShiNTS your pants

4:10

How big does your bench have to be to justify rostering a second catcher? (Lots of people want to Grandal/Barnes, but not hitting your GP at other positions makes that useless)

Paul Sporer

4:10

Sanity

4:10

True or False: Intentional walks issued from the dugout should not count against a pitcher's stats.

Paul Sporer

4:11

I guess True, but it doesn't really matter. The leader had 8 last year so it doesn't really impact a player's stats

Dynasty shmynasty

4:11

Yelich for Tatis Jr and Khrush Davis in 6x6 OPS dynasty league? Which side do you prefer?

Paul Sporer

4:12

Yelich, but that seems pretty fair

Craig

4:12

Getting any shares of Wong? Seems to be having a good spring and is running quite a bit

Paul Sporer

4:14

Not really. Justin and I spoke well enough of him on the middle infield pod yesterday, but I'm just choosing other guys in that range

Jeff

4:14

I own Arrieta. Humor me.

Paul Sporer

4:15

Looking at him on your roster should provide enough humor, no?

New Bork

4:15

What are the virtues of cornering the market for a particular position? I have Rendon, J Ramirez, and Bregman and don't even plan to start any of them at 3rd (Freeman).

Paul Sporer

4:16

I think it has a bigger impact at C and RP where the dropoffs are much bigger. You're getting 3 studs and someone will likely have a lesser 3B because of it, but that specific strategy is really just getting very good players as opposed to drowning the 3B pool

Eloy, Matey!

4:18

Don't ShiNTS your pants

4:18

You gonna try out the new Road to the Show revamps?

Paul Sporer

4:18

I'll probably give it a look at some point, but Diamond Dynasty will own my time

Jeff

4:19

Why doesn't FanGraphs have QS available in the pitching stats?

Paul Sporer

4:19

Good question, I'll ask about that and try to have an answer at a future chat

Matt

4:19

If you had to pick one, would you be more offended if I preemptively thought were were an ugly guy, and then decided otherwise after seeing you, or assumed you to be attractive, and realized my grave mistake after seeing the picture?

Paul Sporer

4:20

No one assumes I'm hot... they inherently know it to be true

Bork

4:20

Have you ever had a draft scheduled for 7 am? How did it go?

Paul Sporer

4:21

Think my earliest was 8 AM and it went well enough

Gest

4:21

What is your preferred slot in which to draft?

Paul Sporer

4:21

Can't really go wrong this year, at least in the first two rounds. Gotta map out some ADP trees for 3-5 rounds (that's about as far as you can go before it really opens up). I like one of the ends.

JJB

4:22

Any advice for a first live auction draft?

Paul Sporer

4:28

Oh I'm sorry this 2+ hour chat has had some lulls in it, my bad man

I'll turn my phone to Do Not Disturb next time.... lol

4:29

Any any rate, don't be too tentative. Obviously you don't want to just buy the first four players and have to sit there for 2 hours, but I was too cautious in my first one and then didn't have talent my leftover $

Corey Knebel

4:30

How do you feel about me? Is the jump in K's sustainable?

Paul Sporer

4:30

Stuff is nasty so he'll remain a K force, but the price is a little high. I don't understand the Knebel over Chapman stuff

Matt

4:30

With the lulls come the LOLz

Brian

4:30

Enders game or JP Crawford?
