Are you buying DeShields as a top 120 player?

Paul Sporer

3:34

That's definitely the hiiiighhh end. I'm not sure he'll consistently go that high, but be prepared to pay 140-150

dave in slc

3:34

NL only could you rank these keepers? $2 Duvall, $6 Hedges, $9 villar $10 Margot or $10 Weaver and $15 Doolittle

Paul Sporer

3:35

Duvall, Villar, Margot, Weaver, Doo, Hedges

3:35

Let's say Ohtani puts up 165 IP as a 130 ERA+ pitcher and 300 AB as a 130 OPS+ hitter. Nothing mindblowing but impressive on both sides. Would this make him an MVP candidate because of the value of excelling as both?

Paul Sporer

3:35

That would be mindblowing, especially on the hitting end.

3:38

Worse yet... you already asked that question a few weeks back

TK
4:39 Let's say Ohtani starts 24 games (130 ERA+) and gets 275 AB (130 OPS+). Nothing earth-shattering but likely a high WAR and a unique contribution to the team. How would MVP voters weigh that?
Paul Sporer
4:40 130 OPS+ would be earth-shattering for his first year here. I think he'd get some serious consideration. Depends what his fish-based teammate did in the same season

3:39

it feels like OF drops off real quick. who are some mid-late round targets of yours? say round 8 and beyond in a 12 team mixer

Paul Sporer

3:40

Peep our newly minted OF rankings, out just last night --- https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/march-composite-rankings-outfield/

3:40

how would you rank cole, keuchel, tanaka, archer, ohtani?

Paul Sporer

3:40

even fresher SP rankings https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/march-composite-rankings-starting-pi...

Got my draft this weekend, tips for staying sober enough on saturday to be clear-headed on sunday? I imagine I'm not the only person in this boat...

Paul Sporer

3:41

Just gotta pace yourself. Maybe don't even crack the first one until 45-60 mins into the draft

OddBall Herrera

3:41

What would you guess is closer to the 2018 truth, "Zack Godley, burgeoning ace" or "Zack Godley, guy ZIPS & Steamer project for a 4ERA"?

Paul Sporer

3:42

I'm a believer and lean closer to the former

Jazzman

3:42

Buxton or JDM in a dynasty?

Paul Sporer

3:42

Still leaning JDM even with dynasty factor

Bird

3:43

Paul, (Big fan of your work!) Help me beat Thorburn and Sammy in our home league!!! How's Miggy been looking this spring? Back ok? What about Fulmer post surgery? You still a believer?

Paul Sporer

3:44

Miggy not looking like peak-Miggy just yet, but plenty of discount in his price. Fulmer lookin great! Good luck against those beasts!

Jazzman

3:44

$10 Mazara or $7 Taillon in a dynasty

Paul Sporer

3:44

Mazara

Edwin

12-team 5x5 standard roto: what's the absolute earliest you take Acuna?

Paul Sporer

3:45

Pick 100

Crew Fan stuck in MN

Are you really doing a chat during March Madness?

Paul Sporer

3:45

Yep and you're here!

But we are about to wrap it up. Had to be a little quicker as I wanna catch a little rest before heading out this evening

Julio

3:46

I am thinking about waiting for Beltre at 3B and going after Freeman (1B, 3B) to slot in 1B, or 3B if Beltre goes down. Always good 1B on the wire. Good plan?

Paul Sporer

3:46

I really like it, yes

Life Decisions

3:46

Albies or Charlotte? Who are you more in love with?

Paul Sporer

3:46

Charlotte, but I might sometimes call her Ozzie by accident

Fantasy

3:46

Am I being cute if I keep Robbie Ray over Yu Darvish in a QS league?

Paul Sporer

3:47

No, it's not being too cute. I have them 2 slots apart, it's defensible if you prefer Ray

Sam

3:47

Would you rather have Cruz or K. Davis in an OBP league?

Paul Sporer

3:47

Cruz

Bryan

3:48

There are too many projection systems on the player pages now! Kind of unwieldy

Paul Sporer

3:49

Just giving some extra perspectives! Ariel Cohen (ATC) and Derek Carty (The Bat) are both super smart!

Matt

3:49

Whit Merrifield for Jon Gray. Dynasty league. Similar contracts. I know the side receiving Gray is the better side, but how far off are we? How much does that change if Whit is swapped out with Chris Taylor?

Paul Sporer

3:50

I'm not sure it's better to be getting Gray. I'm a Gray fan, but it's still Coors. Meanwhile, I did a further look into Merrifield's profile and I don't see a major fall off. His speed should protect too much of a dip

Joe

3:50

is AJ Minter a must own if I have Vizcaino?
