Paul Sporer: Welcome everyone!

Too Many Mooks: What is the spring training performance you feel the most illogically encouraged by?

Paul Sporer: Gotta be the Tigers pitching, lol

Guest: Hi Paul, AL only league.  Pick two to keep, all cost the same: E Carter, Grayson , and Ragans.  Thanks

Paul Sporer: Without knowing the scoring or anything, I’d say Ragans/Carter. Tough to get rid of any of ’em, but I’d def go 1 P and Carter

Sabey Sabes: Yamamoto’s stuff was NASTY. Feel bad for hitters once he course corrects that command.

Paul Sporer: Welcome, thanks for coming out!!

Kyle: Looks like Justin’s Elly-to-AAA call is looking pretty rough so far after all of these injuries

Paul Sporer: He never said he was definitely going to Triple-A.. suggested that if he played poorly enough (like his 2H last yr), then he could get sent back down

Paul Sporer: Sucks about Matt McLain getting

Guest: Hi Paul.  Over under 130 games for Royce?

Paul Sporer: The safe bet is under, but I’m willing to take the shot on his skills because the upside is rich

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!!

GM: Drafting a HR’s only points league. 10 teams. 20 hitter rosters. Who are some favorite boppers in the middle / late rounds to target? Nelson Velazquez’s of the world already going off the board.

Paul Sporer: Rizzo, Melendez, Kerry Carpenter, Kepler, Chapman, Bryant, Rooker, Stanton, Raley, Wilyer Abreu, Colas, Vientos, Cowser/Kjerstad, Noda

Insert Witty Name Here: I went to the auction calculator and input my league settings which is just OBP instead of BA. And somehow Dansby was worth more than Gunnar even though Gunnar had projections all above Swanson. Any idea how that could happen?

Paul Sporer: What set of proj. did you use? Seems weird

Mojo: Prefer Jasson or J Wood over next few years?

Paul Sporer: Helloooooo everyone, how’s it going?

Mike: 12 team roto league with keepers based on round drafted and yearly escalator.

Mike: would you draft and if so where? Shane Mac & Baz  12 team roto keeper league based on draft position and annual escalators for each year kept.

Paul Sporer: Do you have unlimited IL slots?

Rabbit ball: Do your feelings on rabbits or other one cat players change at all in a h2h context vs roto?

Paul Sporer: Not really, but I guess I can maybe use them more pointedly in H2H and perhaps work around their flaws a bit more maybe? Although I would be so angry to bench a Ruiz type the day he rips off 4 SBs. I just don’t like the player type, doesn’t fit my managing style

Paul Sporer: Goood afternoon, y’all!

MochiBetts: Think Jared Walsh can play himself into a spot/trade somewhere this spring?

Paul Sporer: Did he get merked from Texas? He was an NRI for them

Daro: Jhoan Duran or Dw in Williams in dynasty league?

Paul Sporer: Pretty much a coin toss for me, so let’s just go w/the guy 3 yrs younger in Duran

Daro: Devin Williams*

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!!

MochiBetts: Currently very deep in pitching for dynasty and have Skubal, was waffling a bit and leaning towards trying to trade him after your conversation with PitchersList but then I saw the tweet that he hit 100 on the gun yesterday.  And then tweets about him re-working the slider/cutter a bit, so now what do I do?  Because he 100% got that dog in him.

Paul Sporer: I love Skubes and definitely want to keep him where possible as I do see the full scale breakout coming this year. You could always leverage the rest of your pitcher depth to make a trade if you’re looking to get some more hitting

Guest: Hey Paul, pick one keeper in 12 team roto: O. Cruz 12th, Casas 18th or Royce 22nd (already have a 3B and only one util spot with no CI). I have been having a real hard time picking.  Thanks!

Paul Sporer: Dang, that extra context does make it tougher to keep Royce or he’d be my slamdunk choice. That said, I’m not averse to filling the UT spot if it’s the best option for my team. I thiiiink it might still be, but if you just don’t want to do that, then I’d go Casas and his big time pop

Brian: Should I keep Nathaniel Lowe at $10?  The league is a points league (BBs count, Ks don’t).  15 team mixed. $260 budget.  Key rule:  $5 minimum salary.
