Fgpts league, Barreto and O'Neill for Treinen?

Paul Sporer

2:43

That feels a bit light for Treinen

2:43

Paul,

Al,

I'm usually pretty anti-pay for saves, but would you keep Blake Treinan for $5 (for reference, $350 budget, 12 team H2H, counts saves)?

Paul Sporer

2:43

Ya bc in this case you're not paying for saves. That's really cheap for a great closer, even if he regresses

Keeper King

2:45

All things equal keep Albies, E Diaz, Gallo in an OBP/Doubles?

Paul Sporer

2:45

I'm going Albies here

I just joined Twitter today (I know, I know)...any baseball follow recs?

Paul Sporer

Eno Sarris, Jason Collette!

2:47

This is a great list, too! https://prospects365.com/2019/01/21/twitter-the-most-underrated-weapon...

Paul, I have Kluber, Donaldson and Ozuna and can keep only two this year. After 2019, I have to dump one more. What would you do?

Paul Sporer

2:48

I'd go Kluber, Ozuna. I really like Donaldson (more on him in today's 3B pod that will be releasing later today). I don't like to far out so I'm not as concerned about that aspect, but JD and Ozuna are close in total value so I'll go the younger iteration

2:48

Paul, I hate that baseball looks bad waiting 3 months for its top free agents to sign. It’s the polar opposite of NFL and NBA. Can we fix free agency

Paul Sporer

2:49

It needs fixing, but I don't have the answers right now. It's not a simple fix. But it's really bad

Hey Paul! Should I avoid Charlie Blackmon where he is going or do you trust him? Trying to go mostly hitters early and in a few mocks, I have had a tough time deciding between him, Soto, and a few other similar names.

Paul Sporer

2:49

Really like what Soto was able to do last year, but I'm still going with Blackmon there

Russell

2:49

Projections seem to prefer Chris Archer compared to Jameson Taillon, why does most of the fantasy world think otherwise? a

Paul Sporer

2:51

Do they prefer Archer? I don't really see that. Ratios seem similar and all the projections on our players page are giving Taillon the K edge

Cards closer

2:52

Paul, in your opinion - is Hicks worth a keep for saves in St.Louis? I know A.Miller is there now, but I feel he’ll be used in high leverage, but not saves (at least not initially)

Paul Sporer

2:53

Not if you're banking on the saves, but he should do enough to be worth a keep (depending on price) even if he isn't the primary closer

chacochicken

2:56

Who will be a better deal for their auction price, Taillon or Musgrove?

Paul Sporer

2:57

I still prefer Taillon even with Musgrove being cheaper. Truth be told, I'm in on both

Nasty Yakkers

Hey, Paul... I’m in a 14-team H2H 5x5 OPS league. Redraft, but each team gets up to 4 keepers. My 4 best are Bauer, Benintendi, Kershaw, Corbin. If I keep all 4, too unbalanced? Thinking I can find value power later, but potentially roll with best SP 1-3 combo in league. Or toss Corbin back for potentially #50-ish pick... Thoughts?

Paul Sporer

3:00

I'd just go with the stocked SP tbh and then hammer hitting for your first several picks

Scott

Deep keeper league..what kind of SP or RP should I target in return for Devers?

Paul Sporer

3:01

Yearly reminder that these questions are impossible. Every market is different and it really depends what your league will give. It's better to say I'm targeting X, Y, Z pitchers for this hitter, what do you think about that? Still not perfect, but more much answerable.

Thomefan251

Get to pick my draft spot this year cause I won conso last year. Where do you like picking? I'm thinking #1 cause ive always wanted to own Trout in fantasy lol

Paul Sporer

3:01

Ya gotta go #1 if you get the top choice. No sense making it more difficult than it has to be

Ginny

3:01

How much of a bump will Realmuto get if he gets traded from the Marlins?

Paul Sporer

3:02

Substantial. Top 35-type pick

foul

3:03

Glasnow could be awesome right?

Paul Sporer

3:04

Sure, he could be, but the probability that he's awesome in '19 isn't terribly high. I'm eager to see if he holds (or even improves upon) his BB% gains with TB

Cito's Mustache

In a 10-team roto, 6x6 (OBP and QS) it’s keep 3 and surrender corresponding draft pick. Which 3 should I keep? Stanton (1st round), Votto (2nd), Yelich (4th), Rendon (5th), Nola (7th), Buehler (12th). Thanks!

Paul Sporer

3:05

Yelich, Rendon, and your fave of the 2 SPs ... I have Nola over Buehler, but the 5 round difference makes it tight

Vegan Man!

3:06

12 team roto, keep 5 forever, with a 180 start limit (R, HR, RBI, SB, OPS and QS, ERA, WHIP, K’s, SV+HD). Who are your 5 keepers – Harper, Stanton, Carpenter, Suarez, Dee, Cain, Nola, Carrasco, Syndergaard. Thank you!

Paul Sporer

3:06

With no costs associated, it's Harper, Stanton, Nola, Carrasco, Thor
