Keep Yu Darvish for $12 in a 10 team H2H? He had good velocity but 2 innings doesn't mean much.

Paul Sporer

4:42

$12 is fair. He doesn't need to be *great* to earn that

What's up sporer? 5X5 12 man auction league ($300). I am keeping story, verlander, suarez and mondesi for $66. I am paralyzed with indecision on my last keeper. wheeler at $5 or rendon at $23. keep in mind that about 10 of hte top 20 starters are being kept.

Paul Sporer

4:43

I love Rendon, but I think I'm going with Wheeler at $5 to pair with JV

OddBall Herrera

4:43

Last keeper, and I need pitching much more than hitting, 12 team mixed: Berrios, Flaherty or Mondesi?

Paul Sporer

4:44

I know this isn't always plausible, but could you pair one of the SPs and Mondesi for a TOPPPP SP? Otherwise I lean Berrios - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/top-120-starting-pitchers/

My final keeper (h2h pts) is pegged to be a $5 Chuck Morton, but with the final official deadling a few days away, of course I'm second guessing myself. I'd be a fool to keep a $2 Glasnow instead, right? Right???

Paul Sporer

4:45

You wouldn't be a fool, but I like Morton a good bit better: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/top-120-starting-pitchers/

In a 14 team auction H2H POINTS keeper league, our league skews towards SP getting big points so 2 Start pitchers are valuable week to week. My question is going into the draft would you value quality going big on elite SP or get as many cheap arms as possible and load up on 2 SP each week?

Paul Sporer

4:48

I'd want some big dogs at the top. You can still get some cheapies and/or stream to supplement, but the workhorses (as rare as they may be) up front are great to have in h2h

el_kirbo

4:50

There are a ton of arms available this year FYI, both elite and cheap

Paul Sporer

4:50

Get some of those big dogs aaannnddd some fun cheapsters

Abreu or Aguilar? OBP league

Paul Sporer

Abreu

Hey Sporer! Love you and all you do. I am torn on what to do in a keeper related situation. Pitchers, especially starting pitchers, are pretty heavily weighted in our league (W, ERA, WHIP, K, K/BB, QS, and Saves+Holds). I can keep Taillon in the 11th for 3 years or Luis Castillo in the 19th for 3 years. I am currently keeping deGrom in the 20th round this year and planned to keep Sale in the 1st because even in 150 innings, he puts up stupidly absurd numbers, especially in Ks, WHIP, and K/BB. The potential of pushing 175-200 innings basically makes him the #1 guy in our league in terms of projected value from everyone else. Which way would you go? Thanks so much, man!

Paul Sporer

4:56

Ty for the kind words! That is a very difficult choice, espec. w/8 rounds difference. I think I gotta go Castillo. As much as I love Taillon, I don't think he's 8 rds better than Castillo (who I also love)

Slapshot

4:56

I took fliers on Jay Bruce, Jake Arrieta, and Jake Lamb in a recent ottoneu auction (FG Points) for $1, $1, and $3 respectively. Do you think I have a decent chance of profiting off any of them rebounding in 2019?

Paul Sporer

4:56

Ya, definitely. I'm not a huge Arrieta guy, but I like both bats dirt cheap like that. A healthy Lamb shoulder is 25+ HRs in the bank

Higgy

4:59

Help me sort through the glob of Heaney, kikuchi, Glasnow, Maeda and Reyes.

Paul Sporer

5:01

https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/top-120-starting-pitchers/ -- I'm probably going to move Kikuchi up a bit, so Maeda, Heaney, and Kikuchi are probably my 3 faves

5:01

Paul, I have seen you talk up Matt Strahm a lot (including this chat). Is he viable in a 12-tm, 6x6 roto? Or is he a target for deeper leagues?

Paul Sporer

5:01

More for deeper leagues. How many reserves ya got?

Correa's Back Injuries

5:01

What do you think Correa's chances are of bouncing back from me this year? Do you think he'll ever reach that top 10 potential stratosphere people once anticipated for him?

Paul Sporer

5:01

If he's healthy, he definitely can. It's not skill, it's health

Name Your:

5:01

Favourite cheap SS target if you have Lindor?

Paul Sporer

5:04

Jorge Polanco, Eduardo Escobar, Ketel Marte

Lyle

Re: Muncy PT - Platoons are an LAD special. Even Bellinger was benched against LHP - can I trust any LH player on that team to see regular ABs? Dave Roberts... ARGG!!!!

Paul Sporer

5:07

Belly was platooned bc he was terrible against them. Muncy had nice pop vL last year (I know that doesn't mean he OWNS that, but I'm not uber worried about him getting platooned). Even still, Muncy can be amazing even if he's just a strong side platoon

Kyle

5:07

Chat related question. When we are in the thick of the fantasy baseball season, how long does the queue typically get? Do you just get crazy swamped, or is it typically manageable?

Paul Sporer

5:07

It's already crazy

Deion Branch

5:07

Should I choose Devers $6 or Muncy $4? Cost goes up by $5 next year. OBP

Paul Sporer

5:07

Muncy in OBP for sure

Hakuna Machado

5:08

Is Josh James draftable now that he's almost assuredly not making the opening day rotation?

Paul Sporer

5:08

Really depends on league. Should be pretty deep at this pt or have a biiig reserve roster

Twitch Monster

5:08

Blake Snell is awesome. That is all.

Paul Sporer

5:08

Yes he is!

Nancy Yost

5:09

Yall seriously had to mention Santana? Heres to hoping there is no helium.....

Paul Sporer

5:09

LOLOLOL, soooorrryyyy

Ray

5:09

Are you buying what Lewis Brinson is doing? As I recall, he had a really good spring last year too, and, well...

Paul Sporer

5:13

I buy that he can def be waaaaaaaaay better than last yr, and he was good last spring, but not THIS good. He's an interesting late flier
