It's time to get started.

Hello
Jeff Zimmerman

Hi
Brian
3:00
In dynasty leagues, how does Severino’s recent injury woes (shoulder and TJ) impact your long term outlook on him?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:02
I just assume any more that starters will miss some time with TJS. It's why I prefer to focus on hitters long term and piece together staffs each year.
3:03
With Severino (and Thor), I just don't trust either NY medical staff to get them right
So my outlook is not good.

In a points keeper league, which 2 of these pitchers would you keep?  Zach Wheeler, Kyle Hendricks, or James Paxton.  Thanks
Jeff Zimmerman
3:06
Damn, that is close ... Paxton and Wheeler especially if it is a shallow league where Paxton has a decent replacement when he goes on the IL

Is Nick lodolo up this year?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:07
No unless the Reds are fighting for the playoffs and need a bullpen arm
Jon
3:07
I'm trying to understand my 2021 keepers. I play in a 12 team Roto, keep 8 players (where the price of a keeper is an average between current price and their Top 300 ranking).  The ones I consider locks are Acuna (current price $38), deGrom ($33), Torres ($17), Vlad Jr ($17), and Bichette ($11). Which of the following would you choose as the last 3? Options are Lux $12, Kyle Tucker $5, Wander Franco $3, Judge $27, Woodruff $15, Montas $8.
Jeff Zimmerman
3:09
Judge and Franco for sure. Between Lux and Tucker on the last one.
3:10
Tucker but I could be wrong
John
3:11
With a short season likely. which position do you think is the most important to fill first?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:13
I don't think it really matters besides I might drop down pitching because the top 2 (and other workhorses like Greinke). I think innings will be limited so few Wins  excpet to the guys who can go long.
Roy
3:13
Any expected adjustments for a possible cactus/grapefruit configurations? Guessing Rockies pitchers up and hitters down. Marquez now tier 2?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:14
This will be the biggest adjustment IMO, espcially if in FL and AZ
3:15
Pitchers won't be able to go as long getting hit around.
Also, there is a chance they could humidify the balls in AZ
Harry
3:16
What happens to Madrigal in a shortened season?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:17
This is another issue that I missed on the previous question, what about the minor league players.
What is the plan for them playing?
IMO, they won't to start with
3:18
So, teams with have about another 20 players available to call up or down.
And probably bigger rosters.
3:19
I think they Sox will get the extra year of control for Madrigal and then hell be a bench bat or starting with the MLB team.
In short, he'll be on the MLB team but don't assume he's starting.

Which players will take Bill Gates vaccinne?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:19
We all will at some point.
Justin
3:19
Who do you see emerging as the Giants primary closer in 2020?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:20
You
3:21
I'm just staying away. None of them are any good, so why gamble. If you want to take a chance on a bullpen, at least roster a good pitcher.
JV
3:21
Would you trade Taylor Rogers for Gallen if you need SP?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:22
Yes ... but I love Gallen.
JV
3:22
What do you see from Evan White? This year and peak
Jeff Zimmerman
3:23
Another player I like. His minor league StatCast data improved a ton last season. The projections are slow at catching up. He's a great buy with good upside.
JV
3:23
What do you think of Musgrove and Manaea this year?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:25
Musgrove - He's like the bad Trevor Bauer. He has shown the perfect mix of pitches to succeed ... and then he drops them. Just try to ride the streaks.
3:26
Manaea: Not a fan at all. I don't like his twisting delievery and I believe it is why he's always on the IL. I let other pay for him and if I miss on a good season... oh well.
