Freakin The Dentist is already hurt and Polanco got popped so that's off to a rough start, lol. The Royals re-signing Alcides didn't help Mondesi, either

The Old Buccaneer

3:43

Does Gregory Polanco put it together and finish as a top 15 OF?

Paul Sporer

3:43

That is my hope https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/paul-sporers-bold-predictions-for-20...

Erli

3:44

Kiermaier, car-go, pillar, zimmer or JBJ in 10 team H2H? Only need to pick one of them

Paul Sporer

3:44

Kiermaier

Hate us cuz Yoenis

3:44

Someone dropped Kiermaier in my 14-team category league...how hard should I go after him on waivers?

Paul Sporer

3:44

Relatively hard I'd say (TWSS)

Willie

3:44

Devon Travis can't be this bad can he?

Paul Sporer

3:44

I mean it's 21 PA, so no, but is he THAT good? He NEVER stays healthy, either

Hans not Gruber

3:44

Also I am dyslexic, and I keep mixing up J-Mart and J-Ram. yes they are both on my team. Also my girlfriend says we look alike. Hey look, a blue car!

Paul Sporer

3:45

LOL. You and your gf look alike? Interesting...

Tom

3:45

If Story is K'ing at his normal rate and he wasn't very good last year, what is the hope?

Paul Sporer

3:45

He popped 27 HR in 97 games w/the same skills in '16

3:46

(3 pts higher K% from '16 to '17... negligible)

The Old Buccaneer

3:46

Correa and Severino too much to give up for Kershaw or Scherzer?

Paul Sporer

3:46

Yes, I'd say so

3:46

In or out on Matt Davidson making some real changes and being valuable?

Paul Sporer

3:49

What changes, though? He's an 0-for-4 w/3 Ks from a 29% K rate. And 2 of em from a 34% mark. He K'd 3+ times in a gm 19x last yr. Also had a 5 HR in 6 gm stretch - https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=davidma02&t=b&ye...

We're a long way from a different Davidson

Tim The Tool Man Taylor

3:49

Worried about Paul Goldschmidt at all? Talk about a not so fast (out the gate).....

Paul Sporer

3:49

I don't think so, Tim

Scott

3:50

Grade the trade: Gattis + Bundy for Gary Sanchez

Paul Sporer

3:50

Need league context

Reynaldo Lopez

3:50

After a strong first start, am I smart to take a flyer on?

Paul Sporer

3:51

League context drives how aggressive you should be, but here's some further thoughts on him https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/sporer-report-issue-2/

Russell

3:51

How cooked does Danny Duffy look? Looking awful today, after not looking good to start the year.

Paul Sporer

3:52

Nothing encouraging through 2 starts. Can reserve, but I'm not sure I'm flat cutting yet

Niko

3:52

What's your projection for when Willie Calhoun gets called up? Kris Bryant'ed? And stat projection if he does get called then? Thanks!

Paul Sporer

3:53

Early-May. Are you asking what Kris Bryant'd is or if Calhoun will be Bryant'd? Being Bryant'd is being held down like 2 wks to ensure the extra yr of service time.

3:54

I think he's a .270-20 HR guy for 5 months

OddBall Herrera

3:54

So this suddenly became relevant yesterday - is Robles a must own in redraft leagues if an outfield spot were to suddenly open up for him? I'm not really buying him as a 2018 difference maker (or even maybe 2019)

Paul Sporer

3:55

Not must-own in 10- and 12-teamers. Goodwin will get the chance on a short-term basis. A long term injury could bring Robles up

Paper Boy

3:55

Drop Wacha for Folty or Triggs? Or wait a bit on Wacha to see if his velocity normalizes?

Paul Sporer

3:55

I'm waiting

It'd be Triggs over Folty for me, btw
