Quadrangular

3:51

is Puig flying under the radar at this point?

Paul Sporer

3:52

Not really, he's around pick 100, but there isn't a ton of hype. Just most drafters acknowledging he's really solid and taking him as such

buehler

3:52

How much do I contribute this year?

Paul Sporer

3:52

75 good innings

Zach

3:52

Help me decide between Freeman and Votto... 10tm H2H points league.

Paul Sporer

3:53

It's a total coin toss. I'll take Votto out of personal preference only. I can't statistically separate 'em

Acuna Ma-keeper?

3:53

Keep forever with minor annual inflation, about how much are you bidding to snag yourself an ACUNA ? ($260 budget)

Paul Sporer

3:53

Depends how many teams, but low-$20s max. It's a big gamble, but he's worth the shot

Buff

3:53

Will Flores over/under 400 AB?

Paul Sporer

3:54

Under. They hate him for some reason lol

Philly Fanatic

3:54

Can I expect decent production from Alfaro in an 18-team league as my starting catcher? I have F.Mejia as a minor league stash hoping he arrives if needed as my backup plan.

Paul Sporer

3:54

Ehhh, it really depends. He has a terrible plate approach so he needs to sprinkle in some good luck

Alex in Austin

3:55

Can you prove you're not overhyping Detroit and give us an overrated Tiger?

Paul Sporer

3:55

lol at that proving anything

3:56

No one goes higher than like 85 on average, hard to really be overrated. I love Castellanos, but I was a little surprised when I first saw his market price. While I do believe in him, I usually just wait it out and draft someone else at 3B so probably him

Jason

3:58

Would you think Polanco and Snell could get Price or are my valuations way off?

Paul Sporer

3:58

No I think that could work for sure

Hannah Hochevar

3:59

Thanks for all the help!

Paul Sporer

3:59

Happy to help!

Paul, I went to bed by 1am last night, so I didn't get to watch the stream late. Did you have any big pulls? How far, if any, did you get into a BR run?

Paul Sporer

3:59

Just a good handful of golds. Can't complain since I've got a good # of them, but I'm still tracking that elusive diamond. I'm 10-0 in the current BR with Mookie 12-game

Kim

3:59

Is Odor toast?

Paul Sporer

3:59

Nah, not yet. I'm giving him a month-plus to see what's what

Dave

3:59

Was it ever resolved whether Comerica's EV numbers were juiced last year, by poorly calibrated equipment or otherwise? If so, have they taken any corrective action? Figure you might have heard something, being a Tiger fan.

Paul Sporer

4:00

I'm actually curious myself. I remember when that was the word and everyone was just disregarding the numbers, but I thought I heard/read something from Mike Petriello that it wasn't as bad as we originally thought sooo I'm up in the air right now

dave in slc

4:00

how do you view seager now that hes back? Still scared of injury or in the convo for top ss?

Paul Sporer

4:01

I'm cool with him at his 40ish ADP, but I'm not bumping him up

Rex

4:01

Draft is tonite and pitching is my numero uno need.....two years from today will I regret it if I have drafted Luis Castillo over Keuchel?

Paul Sporer

4:02

I don't believe so, no

Doug

4:02

Can Jose Pirela continue what he did last year? My brain tells me no, but he keeps on hitting.

Paul Sporer

4:02

I'd imagine he'll smooth out a bit and be more of a 105-110 wRC+

Todd

4:02

You play any DFS? If so, how deep into the day to day, pitch type vs batter variables do you dive?

Paul Sporer

4:03

I do play but I don't SUUUUPPPEEERRR deep dive. I definitely check some next-level stats and pay attention to weather and stuff, but I don't look for good curvebal hitters and then see which curveball SPs are going that day. Not enough time for all that for someone putting $10-30 in on a given night

Moltar

4:03

Just reupped my FG membership for another year. Thanks for all the great content!

Paul Sporer

4:04

Thank you so much for the support! We're nothing without our readerships and pod listeners

JC at the Bat

4:04

10 team NL only, $1 Tucker Barnhardt vs $7 Joe Panik...yes, yes, I know it probably doesn't matter.

Paul Sporer

4:05

Hey, it does in NL Only. I'm a big fan of both, tbh, but I'm gonna save the $6 and go Tuck. Throw back Panik and at worst I'd think you can get him back for $7

JDBeast

4:05

Thoughts on Yonder Alonso? Tearing it up this spring

Paul Sporer

4:05

I'm in. I think a lot of his gains will stick in '18 and his new park is very lefty-friendly

Treydmarq

4:05

In my 14 tm, 5x5 H2H draft this weekend, is it crazy to think I could nab Trea, JoRam and Bregman with my first 3 picks and be solid to spectacular in all 5 hitting cats? If I can land that, I've thought about grabbing Jansen and Kimbrel in 4/5 ad then just tanking W/K and focusing on SV/ERA/WHIP. Solid strat or will I sink myself?
