80% chance. Rumor was that he wanted a ton of years and teams weren't biting. A one year contract might be the best for him.

Do you expect Scott Kingery to improve his walk rate this year? How realistic is it for him to finish in the top 15 2b?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:53
I'm no sure he can hit and could be a Roughned Odor clone of low .200 AVG, sub-.300 OBP, but decent SB and HR.
3:54
I'm not paying for an improved walk rate until I see it.

Thoughts on Gore's and May's opportunities to pitch in meaningfull fantacy situations?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:55
Decent as teams get their starters stretched out and could be using a 6th starter.

I have no interest in winning this year.  I have offered Rizzo, C Santana, and Berrios for Moncada.  Is one of us crazy?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:57
If the other owner is competing, they should take the deal and run with it. It's probably a good deal for you. I'd try to get some darts thrown in even if they are 5% chances to hit (e.g. Jose Peraza).

What is your take on expected Priate Pitching improvement due to the new Prirate coaching specially with Archer and Keller?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:59
I have my hopes up but understand nothing might change. And if the pitching coach stayed, regression was likely to cause both to improve.

Does Berti and Braun play everyday if Universal DH is implemented?
Jeff Zimmerman
4:01
Braun yes
4:02
No on Berti. I think he Util only until some gets hurt. I think Joyce and Cooper DH
JCS

Carlos Rodon, ends the season in rotation or pen?
Jeff Zimmerman
4:03
Rotation in-season but could be in the pen if the WS make the playoffs

Scouting scale question: why are 70 and 75 fastballs so uncommon?  It seems like there are 65’s and 80’s
Jeff Zimmerman
4:03
Bias
4:04
A scout may wait until they get that one 100 to get the 80 (or whatever is their scale).
4:05
Part of the problem is that most teams give fastballs two grades, Velocity and movement, and control.
4:06
prospect reporting services just use one and it's velo
based
Usually 80 grade velo comes with 30 grade control

In a keeper league we keep 3 SPs (no cost, keep as long as you want); I have Flaherty, Giolito, Kershaw, and Nola - have to drop one.  Your suggestion?
Jeff Zimmerman
4:08
If you have any hope of competing, drop Nola. If you are just playing for the future, drop Kershaw. That said, you should be able to work out a trade for a 2 for 1. Nola and Kershaw for Castillo or a pitcher for hitter. You have 4 top-30 SP and someone can improve their team with one.
4:09
Question are drying up if anyone wants to add some more. JV?

Hi Jeff thanks for doing this! One of my leagues is a 20 team 6x6 dynasty roto that uses QS, ERA, WHIP, K, S, H pitching categories. But we've been watching QS% decline quite a bit league-wide over the last several years as teams have been using openers, they're avoiding using their starters third time through the order, etc.  We went to QS to avoid the randomness of wins but is there a better option?
Jeff Zimmerman
4:11
I have two: IP or QS+Wins
4:12
I agree Wins and QS are an issue.
There are no good answers on how to deal with them.
4:13
The queue is empty and I'm done. Talk to everyone later.
