Sure!

Just wanted your thoughts (slash to brag). Picked #8 in a 10-team H2H categories league last night and landed Turner and Stanton with my first two picks. How'd I do?

Paul Sporer

4:18

Very well! Power and speed locked in right off the top

Tuna

4:18

How far should we be moving down Turner after the broken wrist?

Paul Sporer

4:18

A round or 3 depending on lg size

What are your thoughts about the possibility of a Tyson Ross resurgence this season?

Paul Sporer

4:21

Used to be a big T-Ro fan when he was healthy so I'm really down with a potentially healthy Ross coming back. Could EASILY see him as an early season pickup that ends up as a game changer

Conundrum

Nick Pollack or A.J. Pollock?

Paul Sporer

4:22

Nick by a lot

Jamie (ATX)

Where can I find yours and Jason's rankings for reference. Thanks for all the hard work on those podcasts!

Paul Sporer

4:23

There's a Positional Rankings box on the sidebar - https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/

Matt

How should I balance wanting your insight on my specific dynasty league situation with potentially broadcasting my thought process to my FG-reading competitors?

Paul Sporer

4:24

It's a tough one. I've had ppl say they don't ask Qs bc of their competitors. Maybe a pseudonym?

Steve

4:24

How many homers does Matt Olsen hit this year? And with what ba? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

4:24

.250/31

rusty

4:24

If Kingery doesn’t have a clear place to play, and the Phillies aren’t contending this year, won’t they wait past super two deadline to bring him up?

Paul Sporer

4:25

The second part could definitely change. They could find themselves in the mix for WC2 as early as this year. Kingery's also 24, not sure there's AS MUCH need to milk every millisecond of svc time out of him if he can help for 2 months at the big league level instead

Giancarlooooo

4:26

I'd never wish injury on someone as awesome as Curtis Granderson but man I'd love to see Teoscar get full time run.

Paul Sporer

4:26

Don't even halfway put that evil out in the ether! Teoscar will get a shot, it doesn't have to be at expense of the greatest player in the world, Curtis Granderson!

Matt

4:27

Paul, either you don't know the meaning of "literal", or you have some serious ranking issues with Kim Jong Un, Rodrigo Duterte, and Eloy, Matey!

Paul Sporer

4:27

What?

Tim

4:27

Eno is a pivetta believer. What are your thoughts?

Paul Sporer

4:28

I see the strikeouts there and understand the interest

Tim

4:28

Trevor williams have any sneaky value?

Paul Sporer

4:28

Ya I think so

Rick

4:29

Is Dominic Leone too good to be a holds guy?

Paul Sporer

4:29

he'll get a crack at some saves for sure

Dr. Jill Wine

4:29

How much does QS instead of W impact your view of starters on the Dodgers/Yankees who go to the pen early? Especially with health risks like Wood & Hill

Paul Sporer

4:30

The Dodgers are definitely the first tm I think of in that respect and it's why I don't mess with any non-Kershaw SPs in LAD... well except for some late Buehler shares

Jeremy

4:31

Strorton Or Moman?

Paul Sporer

4:31

Moman!

Erik

In an auction, where do you draw the line between, "Everyone's overpaying for the top guys so I'm about to get some great bargains on the next tier," and "Everyone's overpaying for the top guys so I better overpay too to make sure I get one"?

Paul Sporer

4:32

There is no perfect answer. It's what makes every auction so different. I think some ppl get too hung up on the exact dollar value and think if a $50 player doesn't have $50 in their calculator, he's not worth it. But you're buying certainty of numbers, too. And sometimes you just need to pony up for a stud or two bc it's the highest probability of big #s

Charlotte Pooped on the Rug

4:32

In a points league who do you prefer at SS this year. Have both Cozart and Segura and thinking about moving one of them.

Paul Sporer

4:32

Prefer Segura bc of the speed

Kristen

4:33

Hmm, well, "nice" and "nausea-inducing" vaguely sound the same...

Paul Sporer

4:33

LOL, my baaad (Kristen asked about the TEX rotation and had me say something nice)
