Hey Paul, are you not doing the weekly pitcher rankings at Rotowire this year?

Paul Sporer

2:01

I am not

Captgus

2:01

ack!

Paul Sporer

2:02

Might have something similar here, but I will have to talk to Rotowire first. I'm not just going to outright copy what I did over there. Those are my friends so it'll be above board.

Statistically speaking, which advanced metric is most intoxicating to the opposite sex?

Paul Sporer

2:02

SIERA

Captgus

2:02

love Zola but your weekly rankings were golden.

Paul Sporer

2:02

Thank you! Todd rules. I've been planning on doing something similar over here, but just wanna get on the same page with Jeff so it's not outright thievery

Jared

2:03

Need a SP to fill out my roster... Lynn, Ryu, T. Anderson, or Shelby?

Paul Sporer

2:03

Digging Lynn for this year

Hey Paul, Something I recently noticed, as someone (me) who doesn't understand innings limits outside of "young pitcher didn't throw a lot of innings last year therefore innings limit" should I/we be worried at all about an innings limit with mccullers? He threw 85 last year and 150 the year before with 125 of those 150 being in the majors

Paul Sporer

2:04

It's something to be aware of, but teams aren't always militant about those when the pitcher is dominating and they're contending. See also: Sanchez, Aaron

Ottoneu first timer

2:04

Is Trout, Betts, Bryant plus Archer/Estrada/Cotton/Skaggs/Stroman and a bunch of relief aces enough to win my first go around?

Paul Sporer

2:04

I'm an Ottnewb myself, so I'm not entirely sure

MIKE

2:04

If Beltre goes to DL - Panda or Reyes?

Paul Sporer

2:05

If you need speed, go Reyes; otherwise Panda

Captgus

What do you see from Eickhoff this year?

Paul Sporer

2:05

Solid mid-3.00s arm with some K upside

Is Rizzo overrated? The last three years he's been a .285-ish, 32 HR, 105 RBI, 94 R guy. That's certainly good but I don't see how he's a top 10 bat. How is he 25 picks better than Cruz or 40+ picks better than Cespedes? I would take any of the next 10 guys after Rizzo according NFBC without a second thought. Am I crazy?

Paul Sporer

2:05

Been on this all year. Not sure how he's a slam dunk over Votto, EE, and Freeman for so many

Hobbs

2:05

10tm H2H with 15 keepers a year forever and 6x6 w/ OBP, SLG and K/9, K/BB, QS. Would you trade Kluber and Bogaerts for Correa and Archer?

Paul Sporer

2:06

I would, yes

hopeful hank

2:06

updating pitcher rankings before tomorrow?

Paul Sporer

2:06

Hmm, that's actually a good idea

I gotta get my bold predictions done, too

So we'll probably be closer to 1.5-2 hours on the chat today

Dan

2:06

How good could Charlie Morton be this year if he is throwing 95mph with his secondary stuff?

Paul Sporer

2:06

Talent has been there for a minute, but health has eluded him like Barry Sanders did linebackers

bl27

2:07

with 3 closers (Dyson, Treinen and Bedrosian) on my roster (league with SV and HOLD), do you like a move as Bedrosian and a round 11 for Kelley and a round 8 ?

Paul Sporer

2:07

that's fine. not a Kelley fan, but the round upgrade isn't bad

Paul

2:07

Seth Lugo hold in fantasy relevance this year?

Paul Sporer

2:07

Depends on league size

Jason

2:07

Dynasty points league: Kepler or McCullers?
