Acuna Matata

2:59

April 13 is likely for my call up date?

Paul Sporer

3:00

Yes I believe that's the target

Chris

3:00

In a keep forever league: Smoak or Robles?

Paul Sporer

3:01

Teams, format, and if you're going for it matter for sure, too and if you are I'd say Smoak, but if you're on the rise or of course rebuilding, then Robles

OK noooowwww she wants to go out. Sorry for the start-stop

Chris

3:09

Who would you try to get in the 2nd round after taking Nolan A in the first round.

Paul Sporer

3:09

I dunno... do you want a pitcher or hitter?

Paul

3:09

I have both Grandal and Lucroy at C. Barnes is a FA. should I switch Lucroy for Barnes or keep with what I have?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Keep Lucroy

Kevin

3:09

In a SV+HLD format, please select 3 of the following- Treinen, Robertson, Hader, Minter. Thank you!

Paul Sporer

3:10

Treinen, Hader, and Minter

sheelpi

Stroman or Morton?

Paul Sporer

Morton

Jason

18team H2H points league. Looking to get another starting pitcher for my rotation. What kind of return should I expect if I tried to package a Snell/Gregory Polanco or Lamet/Polanco? My pitchers currently are Castillo, S. Gray, Lamet, Snell, Newcomb and Reyes.

Paul Sporer

3:12

These are almost impossible to answer bc every market is different. Since we're getting into trade question season, let me use this opportunity to say that I much prefer you include players you want to target for a player or package of players. Me just trying to guess someone you could get isn't going to work, but I'll happily answer "do you think I can get Player X, Y, or Z for Player A or Players A&B?" and then we can start a convo about value

Daniel

3:13

Advice for first time auction draft?

Paul Sporer

3:13

Don't hold your money forever. I'd lean towards action over inaction and then work the endgame if you end up spending big. I've seen a lot of first timers get left with a heap of money and not nearly enough talent for it

Big Tuna

3:14

What are your thoughts on Miggy? I know Jeff hasn't been impressed with his spring, but his hard hit % and exit veto were good last year.

Paul Sporer

3:14

I'm sticking with him

Greg

3:14

Is there any reason to expand better HR totals in the future for Xander, or is this who he is? Jeff seems to think that he could join the flyball/Launch Angle revolution.

Paul Sporer

3:15

I really like Xander. I think he'll continue evolving as a player, too. I don't think he's a mid-teens HR player forever.

Tim

3:16

Final keeper for my AL only (8 teamer) home auction this weekend (no bench league) - $3 Berrios, $3 Marwin, $3 Bundy or $26 Edwin? Feeling like Marwin for the positional flexibility but having a hard time throwing Berrios back. Who you got?

Paul Sporer

3:16

Maybe throw Bundy back then and keep both?

Dan

3:16

Sporer I got Albies for $3 in home keeper league w Braves fans last night. Looking forward to following him with you this year!

Paul Sporer

3:17

Wooooow!!!! Let's gooo!! I'm so excited about his season and getting hate tweets every time he goes 0-for-4

Josh Hader

3:17

When will they fully understand what they have in me. Do you think my better as a starter or closer?

Paul Sporer

3:18

He's probably BEST as a 110-IP swingman right now as he develops into a full time starter which I still think is viable down the line

Chris

3:18

Keep forever 2 of 3: Alex wood, Jon Gray and Giolito?

Paul Sporer

3:19

Hmmm, I might actually go for Giolito over Wood. Likely a short-term hit (but not even for sure) for a long-term gain

Big Tuna

3:19

Was planning on drafting Puk in my 12 team keeper league w 27-man rosters and letting him sit on the bench for a few weeks. Does his biceps injury scare you away from that?

Paul Sporer

3:19

Scares me a bit, but I'm not completely running away. Worried that you say bench and not DL, though. Not sure I'd use a precious bench spot

sheelpi

3:19

Stroman or Morton?...who would you rather have in 2018

Paul Sporer

3:20

Oh no a repeat questioner! We let him get through bc I hadn't seen this second one. DON'T REPEAT QUESTIONS!! The queue is loaded and I'm about 40 minutes behind the asked questions. I'm going as fast as I can!

Jason

3:20

Have you started Road to the Show yet?

Paul Sporer

3:20

Yes, I have an SP with a couple starts

Ben

3:20

Any specific targets to key in on for an OBP/SLG league?

Paul Sporer

3:20

Mostly power guys get an extra little boost

Big Tuna

3:21

What's your strategy with last few rounds in a draft? Upside arms or upside bats that you can cut if they don't click? Just any value you can find?

Paul Sporer

3:21

Depends on the roster. Usually upside arms and a multi-position bench bat (hopefully finding THIS year's Marwin... perhaps Yangervis Solarte?)

Ghost of Ned Yost

3:22

Starting to get scuured Barreto might grab a bench job and force me to waste a DH slot on him heading into my Sunday draft. What are the odds he gets sent down by Sunday midday? or should I start planning on him not being storable on my minor league roster. I have a lot of injury risk players so I figure the odds are good in season I have room for him plus I have Semien so if thats how he comes up I'm covered.
