Hola! We'll get started soon!

Brad

2:48

Thanks for chatting on Friday on Labor Day weekend. Much appreciated.

Paul Sporer

2:48

No problem

Jon

2:50

Pick 1 to keep for just next season: JD Martinez ($6), Gary Sanchez ($2), Danny Duffy ($2), Adam Duvall ($2)

Paul Sporer

2:51

Hate to slight Sanchez or Duffy as I'm in on both, but JD at $6 is too juicy to pass up. I think it's worth the extra bucks

Milo

2:51

CJ Cron: thoughts?

Paul Sporer

2:51

Pronounces his last name stupidly given that there's no E at the end

Oh you mean his baseball skills?

2:53

Really don't see him ever being more than a CI bc the power output seems like mid-20s peak... which he likely could've reached this year without the injury

Hans

2:56

Hold on to deGrom in 10-team, or will the awfulness continue?

Paul Sporer

2:57

Yesterday offered a glimmer of hope compared to the other 2 starts of ugliness. One more start at least.

Rick

2:57

Please rank these 2017 keepers in an 11-team, $260 AL-only keeper league: $6 Sandoval, $8 J. Polanco or $9 Healy. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:58

Healy, Pablo, Polanco. I'm in the crowd - the small crowd it seems - that believes Sandoval will be back and have another solid season or three, even if it's elsewhere.

Morky

2:58

Pick up Puig in 10-team or leave him be?

Paul Sporer

2:59

Depends who you're cutting. I'm OK w/it. We just discussed him on today's pod that'll be up in a bit and Eno was passing which I understood, so it really depends on the name you're taking Puig over

JoeB

2:59

Given the small number of decent hitting catchers, do you consider Willson Contarares a keeper @$10. League inflation is typically 20to25%.

Paul Sporer

3:00

it's not bad, espec. at that inflation. Worst case is he'd go $10-11 anyway and you cut out the middle man and just secure him now

Linus

3:00

Will you answer fantasy football questions, too?

Paul Sporer

3:00

What do you think? :)

Tyrion

3:00

Will Giolito start next season in the Nats rotation?

Paul Sporer

3:02

I *think* so, but we discussed the idea of a potential trade this offseason, but that's a low- percentage notion

Nick

3:02

Can keep 2 in a standard 5x5 league: Kinsler, Josh Bell, Brendan Rodgers, Garrett Richards . Curious what your opinion is

Paul Sporer

3:02

Standard league? So not dynasty? I can't really see keeping Rodgers who seems to be '18 at earliest. I'd go Kins/Bell.

Marcus

3:02

We seem to be off to a choppy start - Charlotte full-fanging your ankles?

Paul Sporer

3:03

Haha, whattya mean? She's actually passed out, but today has been hectic already

Happy Go Gilmore

3:03

I have Zimmer and Gallo in my AL-only league, in hopes that one could somehow be starting on opening day next season. Is there even a small percentage chance of that happening?

Paul Sporer

3:03

Yes, particularly Gallo, though perhaps on another team

Sam

3:05

Thoughts on AJ Reed next season? Does he start opening day?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Ya I can still see it. I don't think Houston is the kind of team that would overreact to 122 PA, even 122 bad ones as he's had

Tom

3:07

Talk to me about Jharel Cotton. Is he someone that I should be running out to add in a keeper league?

Paul Sporer

3:12

I wouldn't say that. AL only, sure. Deep mixer, take a flier. Regular to shallow mixer, wait and see. Deep arsenal, jump in velo. Could see some Sept. value. Could end up as RP going forward, though

all about eno

3:12

What beer has eno recommended that you've also liked?

Paul Sporer

3:12

I don't drink anymore

Daniel

3:12

Isn't DJ LeMahieu the greatest? Top 5 2B, right?

Paul Sporer

3:13

He's been awesome. I can't go top 5, but top 10 for sure. Only 19 HR+SB means he HAS to keep the AVG super high to be top 5.

The other Kyle

3:13

Costs me $6 in real money to make a move at this point. In my NL only league, I have Maurer at .60 for next year ($26 cap). Capps is available on waivers and could be kept at .10 next year. I have to grab him, right?

Paul Sporer

3:16

Ya, you're not cutting Maurer, right? You're saying you'd lock up SD saves (or theoretically at least). Ya I'm in. Love Capps, really hope he comes back strong

The other Kyle

3:16

Locked into 2nd place. Have a couple roster spots available in my NL only league. Guys picked up from waivers can be kept at $1 (or $10 in $260 cap league). Is it worth grabbing Brinson or Albies for next year at that price? If both are Day 1 starters I'd have to think they go for more in the auction.

Paul Sporer

3:16

Brinson for me

Toki

3:16

What do you expect out of Adam Jones next season? More injuries and a steep decline?
