Sorry for the delay, I was catching up on the Puig news
3:02
Welcome everyone. About one week to the season's start.

Where can we see updated 60 man rosters? Players from the 2020 draft are only eligible in my league if they make the 60 man.
Jeff Zimmerman
3:04
https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/blue-jays All the players in the projected 30-man plus those listed in the "Player Pool"

Concerns about Juan Soto? Info on his self-isolation has been pretty light.
Jeff Zimmerman
3:04
Some. I just have to get him at some discount
3:05
I'm just worried he'll get off to a slow start compared to other hitters.
Kevin
3:05
How far are you willing to let Mike Trout drop in an OPS league draft?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:05
End of the first round. I just can't have questions surrounding by top pick

Eric Thames seems to be trending toward more playing time. Is he a viable bargain 1b in a 15 team league?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:06
I think he's a MI option. The problem is the all power profile is readily available.
Ryan
3:06
F Cordero, I Happ, S Hilliard who do you like out of this 3? For a breakout performance
Jeff Zimmerman
3:07
Happ because I've seen some improvement. Cordero is his same self and the same management group is in Colorado so Hillard is screwed.

Any draft tips for AL only leagues? I know you've been talking up AL pitchers in mixed leagues.
Jeff Zimmerman
3:08
More of the valuations of AL vs NL.
In AL only, get your hitters with some position flexibility and manage pitching. Don't be afraid to use middle relievers.

Including this one, how many more years do you think Merrifield can continue as a top 60 player? Contact profile and lineup spot are nice, am I wrong to think he can still be great even if he tapers down to 10-15 SBs in the next few years?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:09
People don't like his profile. Who you describe is Adam Eaton and he's going in the 200's
3:10
I think his final value will be high but his cost will tank.
Dakota

What's the likelihood Kevin Cron out produces his brother over his career? Getting a late start, but playing time might be cracking open this year.
Jeff Zimmerman
3:10
I don't think so. I like C.J. more.
Dakota
3:10
Can Jake Lamb come back to the light as a viable fantasy starter?  Sounds like he simplified his swing, and he was once pretty great.
Jeff Zimmerman
3:11
He needs to be able to hit lefties. He's just a platoon bat at best.
A Tribe Called Kipnis
3:11
Are fantasy baseball sites going to separate regular IL from COVID IL?  In daily leagues, how many IL spots would be best?  In previous years, my home only league had 2 reserve spots and 3 IL spots.  Should we go more than 4 IL for this year?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:11
I think one more might be needed but it may be 3. We just don't know.
A Tribe Called Kipnis

Dumbest fantasy advice you have heard for this season?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:13
"There is no reason to move NL pitchers in the rankings because of the NL DH." -from several people.
They are being lazy or don't understand evaluations.
PB&Js
3:14
Thinking about acquiring Trevor Bauer in a dynasty league. Knowing that he wants to go year-to-year on his contract to maximize value, am I wrong to believe he's likely to perennially be on a competitive team, thus making him more attractive than most for Wins?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:15
Maybe ... I'd base the decision on his talent, not the possible contracts.

drop T. Watson for R. Helsley?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:15
Yes ...

Do you think the projections are misguided towards Giolito given his crappy 2019 and stellar 2020? Given the major changes he made, do you think he may be a top 10 starting pitcher this year?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:16
I created an entire projection system just because of Giolito based on just the previous season.
I do believe in all three changes and he's a new pitcher.

How much do you like Jake Fraley?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:17
I like him as a late dart to see if he has 20/20 upside. His cost is nothing for the chance

In general, do you feel that an appropriate auction strategy would be to get a bunch of B and B+ players rather than reach for studs? Feels like in a shortened season paying top dollar for top players opens yourself up to huge disappointment if they get off to a slow start.
Jeff Zimmerman
3:19
I've always gone with the approach of buying as many 4th to 6th rounders (e.g. Bryant, Morton, etc) as possible and  then just $2 guys. I stay away from the top few players and the bottom 2/3rds
