Welcome everyone!! Peak draft season is here. Lots of drafts this weekend and next, let's talk some baseball!

grundle

thoughts on narvaez?

Paul Sporer

1:07

Not trying to put you on blast specifically, this is more of a PSA, but I generally don't love "thoughts on" bc it's not really a question and just super vague, so I'll ask for more pointed questions or generally ignore these. He's good, though.

dougie jones

happ or myers as last OF?

Paul Sporer

1:07

Happ, I'm fully back in!

Unsullied

1:08

big hubbub in my league as owner 1 traded $40 Trout for $25 Verlander and $13 Hader. seems unanimous that erstwhile Trout owner could have gotten more - substantially more. what do you think? 10 team head to head points.

Paul Sporer

1:09

Perhaps he could've, but that's who he wanted. Gotta let managers manage their teams. It's not on the rest of the league to impress their player values on someone else. This isn't vetoable or anything.

Josh

I like Voit as a sleeper this year. with the injuries to Stanton and Judge, is it likely that he ends up batting 4th or 5th in the lineup?

Paul Sporer

1:10

HUUUGE Voit fan this year. I think he'll start a 5. He may move down a bit as those guys return, but if he rakes, they aren't going to put him 8-9

Tim

1:10

If you own Judge for 45 in Ottoneu and he has to get surgery do you just drop him?

Paul Sporer

1:10

Yeah I'm fine with that, tbh

Squeaker

1:10

Adam Haseley a good target?

Paul Sporer

1:10

Depends on league type. Make sure to include league context y'all or else too many answers will be "it depends"

Mr. Tennessee

1:10

Mallex Smith - stay away in OBP league?

Paul Sporer

1:10

you can delete "OBP"... just stay away

Chad

1:11

Not trying to be insensitive or stupid but will this pandemic cause baseball to be delayed? canceled? Baseball is the one thing I use to escape the stress and anxiety of the real world. I am angry/sad/ and annoyed.

Paul Sporer

1:11

It's not insensitive to ask. Obviously the health of everyone is first and foremost, but its impact on everything else can be discussed, too. I think they'd go to empty stadiums before just cancelling the games

Michael

1:11

Is Kurt Suzuki underrated again like he is every year or should we start to get worried about age?

Paul Sporer

1:12

Underrated again. I literally JUST finished the catcher pod preview with Justin seconds before this chat so you can't listen just yet, but we did hype Suzuki

Steve

1:12

Have to decide between keeping Verlander or Clevinger, what are your thoughts?

Paul Sporer

1:13

I have moved JV below Clev dog :( .... SP ranking update coming soon given all the news. Also will finally have RP ranks up before this weekend for those of you drafting

Unsullied

1:13

re: Trout trade - completely agree. and that's where we ended up.

Paul Sporer

1:13

OK good, glad it wasn't vetoed

Micah

1:13

Hey Paul - who are a few of your favorite upside plays w/ a pick around # 375 in 6x6 roto?

Paul Sporer

1:13

I built a whole team post-300 here just yesterday: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/building-a-team-after-pick-300/

Hot corner

1:14

What percentage chance do you give Austin Riley of being the OD starter at 3B?

Paul Sporer

1:15

55%? He's raking in spring so I can see him overtaking Camargo

Mike

1:15

I would like to know, is it time to drop Nick Senzel, for a hotshot like Dominguez Yanks, or Pena Royals

Paul Sporer

1:16

I'd imagine this isn't a dynasty lg or these guys would already be rostered so I'm gonna pass. Those guys are sooooo far away. I'd just be a bit more patient with Senzel and see how things go this year

Michael

1:16

Voth, Wood, or Gausman?

Paul Sporer

1:17

Gimme Gausman! Here's my full SP rankings, btw: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/top-175-sp-for-2020/

Benji

1:17

What do you think winds up happening with Barreto / Mateo this month?

Paul Sporer

1:19

It's a tough call, but I'm leaning Mateo. Frankly, that might just be wishcasting more than anything else, though. Ideally, the loser of the battle is traded somewhere he can play regularly and both end up getting plenty of PA

grundle

1:19

Sorry - narvaez, is over 15 HR's a realistic expectation?

Paul Sporer

1:19

Yes that's fair. I think we said high-teens on the C episode that will be up later today

Rutherford The Brave

1:19

Weird comparison but Laureano (24th Round pick) or Suarez (17th Round pick)? Think the shoulder is good to go?

Paul Sporer

1:19

Suarez is coming back pretty nicely and seems good to go, but I'd still take Laureano with the 7 round benefit

Slamboni

1:20

Sale still sitting out there in the 19th round of a 10 team 5x5 (26 rounds), time to through caution to the wind?

Paul Sporer

1:20

Ya, you can't get hurt too badly at that point. Severino last year has really made ppl cautious on these cases so Sale's price has TANKEDDDDD

Michael

1:20

Deciding whether to keep Robles ($19) or Albies ($21) in my NL only ($240 budget). Is it close?
