Paul Sporer

Damn, that's close. Big fan of both. Gonna lean Fulmer

Bryant's Outrageous Blue Eyes

2:34

Hi Paul. Can Kyle "Ted" Tucker break into the Astro OF this year and maybe have a Bellinger-esque impact?.

Paul Sporer

2:35

It's not out of bounds. I think he's more blocked than even Belly was last year, but talent wins out and injuries WILL happen so I don't rule it out at all

Gorky

2:35

Any of these pitchers worth holding (vs. streaming) in shallow 10-team? Michael Wacha, Lucas Giolito, Mike Clevinger, Blake Snell.

Paul Sporer

2:35

All have their stream appeal, but out the gate I'd lean Snell and Wacha as most streamable. Or Clevinger if he opens with the dregs of his division (haven't looked at schedules much yet)

gyroball

2:35

Hey Paul, are you putting out RP rankings? Drafts are coming up and I love the way you all do your rankings.

Paul Sporer

2:35

After this chat!

Minty

2:36

Oops didn’t mean to click send before. Is .350 OBP with 40-45 HR and 5 SB a reasonable expectation for Gallo?

Paul Sporer

2:36

Very plausible outcome

Randy Newman

2:36

who gets most saves out of Diekman, O'Day, T. Watson?

Paul Sporer

2:36

Diekman

Dave

2:36

News trickling out that Conforto might actually have a shot at opening day. How far up does this move him in your ranks?

Paul Sporer

2:37

That's not happening

I mean, I personally just don't see it.

Pete

2:40

Best CF option: Adam Eaton, Adam Jones or Manuel Margot?

Paul Sporer

2:40

I'm a big Margot fan bc of that speed

LurKing

2:40

Hey Paul: Keeping K Bryant, Trea Turner, Thor and Acuna this year. Have the 2nd overall pick. Do you start the draft with a #1SP to pair with Thor (Max and Clayboy will be there) or go with another bat (Goldy, Blackmon, Rizzo or Harper would be there)?

Paul Sporer

2:43

I think I'd go with the SP, but format definitely matters so hit me back with the format details

Andy

2:43

Thoughts on Jesse Winker this year? Potential breakout or just your run of the mill OF you can grab on waivers?

Paul Sporer

2:45

I can see a lil somethin, but I think it's AVG-driven more than anything else

12+ teams

Shuck Bowalter

2:45

I saw Albies go for $26 in my SABR Otto draft. On a scale of 1 to shaved-head Britney Spears, how insane was that?

Paul Sporer

2:45

-32 ... a bargain at twice the price!

2:46

Kidding. It's definitely a high end and requires he perform a good bit to pay off, but I can dig it

Kevin

2:46

In an OPS league do you prefer Alonso or Bour?

Paul Sporer

2:46

Got em side by side with Alonso on top - https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/march-composite-rankings-first-base/ --- can really go either way so if you personally dig Bour, it's defensible for sure

2:47

BRB y'all. Charlotte had hernia surgery yesterday and is still moving around quite gingerly so taking her out is gonna take a little longer than usual. Sit tight

2:50

Orrr not. She wasn't really diggin goin out right now lol

Jeremy

2:50

Admittedly weird, probably unhelpful to anyone else question: In a points league that awards 2 pts for every guy thrown out stealing, could Austin Barnes' presence be enough to push Tucker Barnhart past Grandal? Barnhart was the #14 C to Grandal's HR-powered #8 in '16 and #8 to Grandal's #7 (by 13 pts) in '17

Paul Sporer

2:51

Perhaps, though Barnes can't catch rn bc of his shoulder. That said, I also see some upside in Barnhart's bat so I might just wait on Grandal and scoop Tuck

2:51

Justin Turner would cost me $5/260 and be returned to the pool where I could always reacquire or well keep him at $11/260

Paul Sporer

2:51

Just hang out. That's a really fair price even with time missed

Shark Attacked

2:52

Lost the Shark and pitching is thin in 15-tm. Minor? Karns? Stratton? It's bleak out there - shark was my # 3.

Paul Sporer

2:54

Justin loves Stratton so maybe just take the other Giant to replace Shark

League Champ

2:57

My 12 team Standard roto draft is tomorrow, and as 2017 league champ, I choose my draft slot. In a snake draft, what is your preferred draft slot?

Paul Sporer

2:57

1 for sure. Want Trout and 2/3 turn is very nice. Map out the 2nd-5th rounds a bit to see if you prefer the front or back end of the draft

Yuckleberry Wow

2:58

I draft in 4 hours...I've got Berrios and Godley in a 9 P 14 team league. Do I need 1 or 2 pitchers better than those guys?

Paul Sporer

2:58

I'd aim for at least 1

Rob

2:59

I'm in a deep dynasty but trying to win now. Drop Christian Arroyo for Kike Hernandez (need MI depth) or hold tight? Sort of assuming Arroyo is the everyday 3B by ASB but not sure.

Paul Sporer

2:59

Ya I can get behind that. I don't find Arroyo particularly special
