Episode 201

The latest episode of “The Sleeper and the Bust” is live!

In this episode, Paul Sporer and Eno Sarris start their positional previews with catchers. Behind the dish they discuss:

  • Strategy
    • Do you ever pay up for Posey?
    • How much do you boost Cs who won’t C this year?
    • What about Cs who play a good bit elsewhere to boost their PA?
    • Favorite Strategy Outside of Stars?
      • Two mid-level guys
      • Two $1 guys
      • One mid-level, one $1 guy
      • End-gamer catchers
  • Player Talk
    • Is your first tier just Posey or does LuCroy get to stay?
    • Who comes close to a repeat? Mesoraco or Gomes?
    • Better defense-first bet: Molina or Perez?
    • Is McCann done as AVG asset?
    • How does Wieters return from the TJS?

And then it cutoff randomly!! My computer deleted Skype in the middle of the podcast. We didn’t get a chance to rejoin because we were on a tight schedule as it was, so we just cut it there.

As usual, don’t hesitate to tweet us or comment with fantasy questions.

Paul I need some help! In a 6×6 with OPS, 12 team head to head 3 keeper league and 18 rounds in our draft. I am keeping Max, and Joey Bautista and I have to decide on a 3rd keeper. I can trade a 12th round pick for Freddie Feeeman and keep him. Or I can keep Crush Davis who is all ready on my roster. What would you do?

Thanks!

Future Podcast Question: Hunter Pence: The peripherals took a dip last year but his floor/production has been solid. Do I want a piece of him this season? fearing a sharp drop. Can you play buy or sell w some of the outfielders ranked around him? Harper, Yelich, CarGo, Upton, Springer?

Who are your best players after Davis? I’d reluctantly trade for Freeman if you really have to, a 12th rounder isn’t much to give up.
