I will not have a chat next week as I'm taking a week vacation. It was supposed to be a two-week trip to Yellowstone but the park will still be closed.
3:03
Hopefully when I get back from the lake, a season will be agreed upon and it'll be time to dig back in.

In a startup dynasty, my fringe SP is Stephen Matz and I also added Kim because his RP eligibility is key in our points format which values IP, K causing closers to have diminished value. Would you ride with Matz and Kim or grab Cole Hamels or Spencer Turnbull off the wire?   Thanks Jeff!
Jeff Zimmerman
3:04
I like seeing how Kim's talent plays and would hold him. The other three are replaceable IMO. I might hold Matz until the schedule comes out and see which of the three has the easier initial schedule

Hi Jeff.  Thanks for chatting; fingers crossed for baseball this summer.  In a redraft, OBP, H2H league (12 teams), could you please rank the following hitters (assuming a universal DH):  Ryan Braun, Wil Myers, C.J. Cron, Alex Verdugo, Willie Calhoun, Rougned Odor?  Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
3:06
Calhoun, Cron, Braun, Verdugo, Odor, Myers
I know Braun will go before Cron so you might be able to trade him and just replace him with Cron

I am in a AL roto redraft league.   What changes would you make to your normal draft plan?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:08
If it's Central vs Central only, I'd give a nice bump to AL Central pitchers. Hopefully most projection systems will take this adjustment into account.
Also, I'd find pitchers who throw more IP/S (e.g. Lynn). Wins are going to be tough to come by and workhorses will be needed.
Vern

What should leagues do about next year's draft order if the season is canceled? Thanks! Stay safe.
Jeff Zimmerman
3:09
Keep it that same

Assuming we get ~80 games, how do you see PT shaking out for Senzel?  Kyle Tucker?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:10
I think Senzel should play if healthy. He just seems to miss a game here and there all the time
3:11
We'll see on Tucker. He needs to start out hot to force himself into the lineup
RMR

Do you think a delayed start to the season changes anything with the White Sox plans for Kopech?  I got the impression they were previously planning to start him in the minors for at least a couple weeks.
Jeff Zimmerman
3:12
I think think the plans for him depend on how he's throwing when Summer Training starts.
Owners are just going to have to listen to team reports.
RMR

How would a shortened season impact callup dates for close-to-the-majors arms like Pearson, Howard and Gore?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:14
I heard that someone else heard, that there is going to be no bizarre callup rules. They could be wrong. If a player gets called up, they lose a year of service then teams should just callup who ever they need to compete.
3:15
The rules just need to be know first.
Donnie baseball
3:15
I am in a 16 team mixed league that is head to head with 13 keepers. Would you trade Bergman for Franco and Lux.?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:15
3rd time is a charm Donnie
3:16
No because I'm pretty low on Lux.
It's close and if you have a good feeling about, go ahead with it.
Magic Kingdome
3:17
Are there any players who you have felt better or worse about since the spring training shutdown based solely on your gut?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:18
I've nothing to go off of except Trevor Bauer's live at bats. Khalil Lee looked good in his swings.
Curtis
3:19
When Mike Trout falls out of the top 10, who will be the players in front of him?  Are they all current major leaguers?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:19
That just way too deep from this chat and I can't think 10 years into the future.
Mike Tyson: designated hitter
3:19
Zach Plesac!   Is he the acorn that grows into a mighty oak?   I generously define mighty oak as a top 35 to 45 range SP.
Jeff Zimmerman
3:21
Out of the various Indian pitchers, he's the one I'm interested the least about. I like Allen and Civale more.
I don't think so
Mike Tyson: designated hitter
3:21
Wish it into existence!    Baseball starts in 32 days.
Jeff Zimmerman
3:21
That would be great.
Frank

Thoughts on how a keeper league should address years of eligibility for keepers if we get a shortened season?  Our league permits players to be kept for 3 years.  Should this year count as an entire season towards keepers status?  Or the opposite that this year shouldn't count for that purpose?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:22
I think it should be the same if the season is played out by the league. If no season, just skip a year on the keepers
Mike Tyson: designated hitter
3:22
Jameson Taillon was considered top twenty SP preseason 2019.   Any reason not to think he can be that next year?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:24
I wouldn't count on it in his first season back for TJS. I'd see what he does in 21 and buy in 22
Mike Tyson: designated hitter

Has Chris Sales’ ship been sunk permanently or he will return with a vengeance?
Would Chris Sale be a pretty cool multi inning closer?
