Erik

4:24

Bour for Godley, who says no?

Paul Sporer

4:24

Not sure anybody does if the needs align

Ben

4:24

Vlad Jr should be owned in all redraft leagues at this point, yes?

Paul Sporer

4:24

Oh for sure

Zach not so Godley

4:25

Godley was my first pitcher drafted (traded away most of my early and mid rd picks last year in a push to win) but (12 team mixed h2h keep 3) but now is the worst on my staff : skaggs, newcomb, pivetta, heaney, buehler, weaver, mikolas ( all of whom were fa adds..., dropped t walker, a sanchez, giolito, montgmery, chatwood). So, is he going to get better? Droppable in a 12 tm mixed?

Paul Sporer

4:25

I'd keep him. He's just not that far off of last year and like I said earlier, well within the range of expected outcomes. The WHIP is the only real issue

4:26

QUICK BREAK TO TAKE THE DOG OUT... BE RIGHT BACK.

4:34

Aaaannndddd we're back

Dennis

4:35

Hamels or Carrasco in keeper league?

Paul Sporer

4:35

You asked this like four times

Polo

4:35

Do you see anyway the Cardinals keep O'Neill in the lineup?

Jared Fogle

4:36

Kiley said Khris is a good comp for Tyler O'Neill but then said the latter could even be a better hitter. Possible to have healthy Khrush production from O'Neill ROS, and if that's wildly optimistic, will he at least stay up this time and perform well enough to start 5ish times a week?

john mozeliak

4:36

Tyler o’neill is showing he deserves to be part of the cardinals outfield. The question is will I let him?

Paul Sporer

4:36

And that's just a sampling of the Tyler O'Neill questions today

4:38

He's not going anywhere raking like this, especially w/Dexter Fowler doing literally nothing. Kiley's Khris comp makes a lot of sense and makes O'Neill someone to target in any format. He'll come back to earth, but a boatload of homers and a .250 AVG is viable anywhere

Tubby Mice

4:38

Yo Paul, did I manage to submit my question?

Paul Sporer

4:38

Yes

Allen

4:39

Drop Yonder Alonso for Justin Bour?

Paul Sporer

4:39

Yes, love Bour

Bill

4:39

Most of the top level prospects going into the season were owned. Mac Williamson, Christian Stewart or Garret Hampson as a stash in a 15 team roto keeper league with OBP replacing BA. Any you think will have an impact this year

Paul Sporer

4:40

Really like Mac's power. Christin Stewart is smashing the ball at AAA and should be up any day for the Tigers. He's 24 so there's no real need to hold him down even in the midst of a rebuild and I like his power a good bit, too

Mike

4:40

This is my first year playing Diamond Dynasty and can't stop playing. Just started getting into all of the program missions after finishing the 1st go around of Conquest, but im still looking for some better players. Who are some of your favorite pitchers and hitters to play with on Diamond Dynasty this year?

Paul Sporer

4:41

Really like flashback Yu Darvish and the legend Jim Palmer on the bump. The player of the month Albies is expensive, but soooooo good! That new Adam Lind murders EVERYTHING

Bob

4:42

Matt Olson or Jose Mart, ros?

Paul Sporer

4:42

I think I'd base it on need of AVG v. HR

Hmmm

4:42

Francisco Mejia: stud dynasty prospect or just a decent high floor guy with value as a catcher?

Paul Sporer

4:42

More the latter and his C eligibility seems fleeting.

Bart

4:43

Was offered Goldshmidt, Monacada and Teoscar Hernandez for G Torres, Belt and Paxton. Should I accept?

Paul Sporer

4:43

Definitely fair so if the needs align, let's lock it in

Shark or not Shark?

4:43

Cash says Adames only up for 2-3 days

Paul Sporer

4:43

Makes sense with Wendle on paternity leave

4:43

Is something going on with Addison Russell? I feel like the book has been written on him, but he's still only 24 and when I see a hot streak, I can't help but take notice. Should I prefer him to Dansby Swanson? Thanks.

Paul Sporer

4:45

I prefer him to Swanson, but I don't really have the super-high hopes I did from years past. Even with 3 full seasons on his ledger, he's still young and I don't think we've seen his best yet

Dres

4:45

Limited moves, only one left this half. Worth one to pick up Reyes?

Paul Sporer

4:45

Damn, that's tough. I'm usually pretty tepid on TJ returners in their first year back so I think I'm passing

Dave in London

4:46

What's wrong with Austin Hayes He received a huge amount of hype before the season, now he can't put up a .300 OBA at AA. Is he simply not a good hitter?

Paul Sporer

4:47

I didn't really understand the hype in the first place. He had 20 awful games in the majors coming from AA and a bunch of folks thought he'd be some major fantasy contributor this year. He's just 22 so I'm not close to writing him off, but for 2018 I didn't get the buzz

City

4:47

Is Heaney for Mac Williamson a good deal? Or do they both have marginal upside?

Paul Sporer

4:47

That's a fair deal right there

Matt

4:47

For Andy, who is worried about Corbin, his velocity was in a similar range last season while he was very good. Maybe he'll be fine since velo is down on a pitch that no longer is his featured pitch?
