Chad

When is your SP rankings coming out?

Paul Sporer

3:35

Soooon. I know I promised an updated 100 earlier, but I will have it out v soon.

And then a detailed list later this month (meaning commentary on everyone)

Cincy Sam

3:35

Is there any chance that we see Nick Senzel break camp with the Reds? And if so, would he do so at 2B, or OF?

Paul Sporer

3:35

Very unlikely he breaks camp, just not fiscally smart, but could be up a couple wks into the season

Rusted Root

3:36

Chances my beloved White Sox seal the deal and get Machado?

Paul Sporer

3:36

39%

#1 Matt Olson Fan

3:36

Tyler Anderson or Josh James as a late round gamble?

Paul Sporer

3:36

James!

Rick C

3:36

Who would you rather keep - Jansen at the cost of a 9th round pick, or Treinen at the cost of a 13th round pick?

Paul Sporer

3:37

Treinen for sure. Treinen is viable to keep at equal costs, so the extra four rounds makes it easy

John E

3:37

Kershaw and Kris Davis for Trea Turner in a keep 10 forever league?

Paul Sporer

3:37

Fair deal, I prefer Turner slightly

Jim

3:37

Does Taillon crack the top 15 pitchers this year?

Paul Sporer

3:37

Hmmm..... we shall see sooooon

Roger

3:37

Does Teoscar Hernandez do better, worse or the same as last year?

Paul Sporer

3:38

Same-ish... relatively equals, but more volume (hopefully!)

Keeper League Q

3:38

Would you trade Gary Sanchez for Joey Gallo in a 12-team keeper league, or shoot for higher? Starved at 1B, and also have Cubs' Contreras rostered.

Paul Sporer

3:38

I understand being starved for 1B, but I'd shoot higher. Contreras for Gallo maybe, but not selling low on Sanchez

3:38

Ottoneu 4x4- Seager or Correa?

Paul Sporer

3:38

Seager

syracuse451

3:38

Am I missing something with Brandon Woodruf? Good velo, has a rotation spot, some upside, but isn't high on any list.

Paul Sporer

3:39

I'm a big fan, but is the rotation spot guaranteed? I could definitely see him rising during the next 6 weeks.

Rusted Root

3:39

NL only, do you spend big money on a closer like Diaz?

Paul Sporer

3:40

I'd rather go Doolittle, Knebel, Yates level

BrokenBatSingle

3:40

Is there reason to be optimistic about 2019 Luis Castillo?

Paul Sporer

3:41

Strong arsenal and big second half. I really haven't changed my outlook much

Rusted Root

3:41

NL only, keep Moran at $16?

Paul Sporer

3:41

No, even with inflation that seems way too high

Chip

3:41

Any top holds guys you see emerging this season? Hader was huge for me last year.

Paul Sporer

3:41

Haven't done my deep dive yet this year, but I'm still intrigued by Adam Conley in MIA

John E

3:41

Are you trusting Danny Jansen as your C in a 1 catcher league? I'm not trying to play at the top end and I feel like he at least has upside...

Paul Sporer

3:42

I am - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/the-sleeper-and-the-bust-episode-636-pau...

chet

3:42

6x6 H2H cats; offense is solid, top 2 in league. Very mediocre SP with strong RP for holds/saves. Do you think an opener strategy is viable? 3-4 RPaSP pitching the middle innings for ratios and some W/Holds? just gotta find 4 yarbroughs...

Paul Sporer

3:43

Just not sure the stock of arms if available for that. But you can get solid mid-tiers standard SPs to cover your needs

Ray

3:43

Will Greg Allen get enough steals to justify holding onto him in a keeper league? (Say, 25+?) Ideally I’d try to get him back in the draft, but I’m certain I’d be outbid.

Paul Sporer

3:43

Definitely like him as a late SB option bc they just don't have enough OF options to not give him some real burn. Gotta include keeper costs, but if it's a late rounder or something, I like it

3:44

I picked up a number of breakouts last year for $1/$2. How would you rank these guys in terms of investing at $4/7/10 for the next three years: J. Aquilar, A. Mondesi, G. Marquez, Mallex Smith, T. Glasnow, R. Stripling, R. Osuna, A.J. Minter. Anyone you want no part of?

Paul Sporer

3:44

Mondesi, Aguilar, Osuna, Mallex, Marq, Strip, Glasnow, Minter

3:45

Paul, if you do a rebuild are you usually one that waits until the end of a run has already come and your valuable assets have depleted, or do you try to get out ahead of it? I'm in a dynasty and I have a fringy team that isn't getting any younger. Been debating whether to give it one last shot or to kick start a short-term rebuild if I can get some nice pieces
