Daniel

Should Ryan Pressley be rostered in a 10 team points league that doesn't give points for holds?

Paul Sporer

1:02

Ehhhhhh, not necessarily

Schoop of Ice Cream

1:02

Why are the dodgers putting an oft-injured 39 year old back in the rotation when Stripling is 29 and thriving? It makes no sense

Paul Sporer

1:03

I mean, it makes plenty of sense. I love Strippy, but Hill has a 3.30 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 303 IP for the LA. He is no doubt oft-injured, but he's also very good

Joe

1:03

Soroka peaking your interest at all? #85 on the updated list.

Paul Sporer

1:03

Just not sure of his role

BIll EmBARRassment

1:04

Hey you, with the glasses, from the ATX....what do you think happens to Clint Frazier once Hicks and Stanton return? I mean, he has shown he belongs...

Paul Sporer

1:04

:looks at mirror... checks location on phone: SHIT! Ya gotta me on both of those!! If Frazier keeps hitting, they'll find the PT, but if he's mediocre or worse, he'll lose the time

Rick Honeycutt

1:05

Is domingo santana likely to be relevant for the entire season? anything to look for in his underlying stats?

Paul Sporer

1:05

I think it's very plausible. He was amazing in '17. He flopped in a half season of disjointed time last year, but I believe in him as a full timer

Matt W

1:05

Michael Chavis was a speculation pick for all NFBC draft holds as depth middle infielder. What can I expect the rest of the year with the juiced ball?

Paul Sporer

1:06

Good scoop. Could see him poppin some bombs w/some real playing time

1:06

Just dropped Posey for Alfaro in a 12 team mixed, 1 catcher league. Was this a master stroke?

Paul Sporer

1:07

No, not a master stroke. 37% K, 2% BB, .480 BABIP, 38% HR/FB ... regression will NOT be kind to Alfaro

Dynasty

1:07

Do I move JRam (41 next year) this year for Tatis (10 next year)?

Paul Sporer

1:07

Hmmm, in a dynasty I could see it

Jon

1:07

What type of pitcher could I get for Chris Paddack? Should I be concerned about him being shutdown later in the year?

Paul Sporer

1:08

A good one... I dunno, it depends what your market will bear. Shutdown concerns aren't unreasonable, but it's impossible for me to guess what kinda P you could get for him

Joe

1:08

When do you hope to see Daz Cameron running down flies for your Tigers? Think they'll do him the same as Stewart last year, cup of coffee in September, quicker, or slower?

Paul Sporer

1:10

He's only 22 so it'd make more sense than what they did with C Stew, but I hope he's up this summer if he's performing in AAA

Mean Gene

1:10

Kris Bryant is hitting into the ground, hitting for weaker contact. And this goes back to the second half of last season. His xStats look baaad. Is it panic time?

Paul Sporer

1:10

I wonder if the shoulder is still a problem. I'm neeeerrrrrvvvvooouussss

Mike Schmidt

1:11

Nola or Kris Bryant rest of way? Fair 1 for 1 in 5x5 10-team obp league? who scares you more?

Paul Sporer

1:11

Nola invokes some nervousness, too, but less than KB. Fair deal, but I'd lean Nola

Dan

1:11

I traded away Benintendi for Corey Seager (keeper).. I needed a shortstop. Did I lose the trade?

Paul Sporer

1:11

Nah, that seems totally fair

dave in slc

1:11

I just got in so you may have addressed this but when are the new rankings coming out?!

Paul Sporer

1:12

-__-

It's in the very first msg :) --- here ya go, dave! https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/april-starting-pitcher-rankings/

Tommy La Sort of

1:12

Is Carlos Rodon fool's gold?

Paul Sporer

1:13

No, I think there could be some real legitimacy here. I'm thoroughly intrigued

Jafo

1:13

What's up with Trevor May? I thought he was going to be in the mix for saves? He's not even picking up holds for me? Why has Rocco buried him to start the year?

Paul Sporer

1:15

I don't know, it stinks. Parker is closer. I do think May will be in the high leverage mix for some Holds, but it seems you can move on if you were hoping for Saves

Teo

1:15

How far would Soroka move up your rankings if he does hold on to the starter job?

Paul Sporer

1:16

Top 60ish

Big Fella

1:16

Taillon is still ranked very high for you, what has you keeping the faith?

Paul Sporer

1:18

What has you losing it? Sorry to answer a question with a question, but I haven't seen anything in the four starts to be lower on him. Ks aren't there yet, but swing & miss is with a 12% SwStr.

Prospector

1:18

Do you believe in Winker's power spike? 5HR so far, 7 in all of 2018. Did I read somewhere in the offseason that he had been playing with a hurt shoulder for awhile? What do you think is a reasonable power projection if he stays healthy?

Paul Sporer

1:18

I think most, if not all, are oppo tacos, too. I think he could push the upper-20s with health

purplemini

1:19

is Beeks' current role helping or hurting his development? what do you think his future role will be?
