Let's start. I may not be up-to-date on all the news. I've had a lot going on in my life but will help in any way I can.
Raggedy Nick Burkett
11:01
Tim Anderson's last 2 years of extremely high bapip legit?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:03
He's the type of player to post them. GBs with speed, but no one has ever been at this level over a long stretch. If he keeps it up, he'll be the first.
Greg
11:03
Pick two prospect stashes for this year: Spencer Howard, Edward Cabrera, Corbin Martin, Matthew Liberatore.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:03
Howard and Martin
Doug
11:04
Do you have a favorite sleeper reliever? The best one I got in my h2h points draft was Matt Barnes, though I’m thinking I can steal someone from the waiver wire soon.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:04
It was Pagan, the team was leaning him before Pom got hurt and now he's moving up.
11:05
Follow Cin and Atl. I think Martin could be it in Atl and Cin has several options.

Youngish mlb SPs you’d trade for arozarena in a dynasty league?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:06
Straight up, none. It'd have to be multiple arms.

11:07
Crazy to think Pagan is the Padres closer and ends up being a huge value?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:07
Not at all because all reports had him as it for weeks.
Logan Webb
11:07
Is my change up more interesting than Randy Dobnak’s slider?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:08
Both players are interesting, but Webb might have a starting gig first.
Take a chance on Webb and move to Dobnack if Webb can't find the plate again.
Lewis
11:08
What are your thoughts on Jonathan India? Will he make the team out of camp and what are reasonable expectations for him this season?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:10
I talked about him on the Launch Angle Pod yesterday. We just don't know how to evaluate most prospects. We just have to trust what teams have said and some Spring Training looks. I asked Eric L. how he looked at 2B and he said passible, so there is a chance he sticks.

Interested in your thoughts on Kikuchi maintaining his velocity gains from last year and looking solid thus far in spring. The advanced stats say he was quite good last year, with his ERA inflated by an absurd LOB rate. Are you buying a breakout?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:12
I am, he's being drafted at a point (250 ADP) with several other starters I like (Davies, Peralta) so I'll likely grab one or two.

hi jeff!! in a redraft with QS over wins, how low might you drop sonny gray and carlos carrasco? and is the gallen forearm stuff troubling enough to just avoid him entirely? thanks!!!!!!!
Jeff Zimmerman
11:13
I'd have Gray over all of them.
I'd just plan on no Gallen without any news. Maybe get after pick 250.
11:14
And while these guys were useful for QS, they may not be when coming back
Frank
11:14
Standard 5x5 league but with 162 game caps per position. With just 2-3 bench slots is it better to prioritize a quality bench or depth to help reach the position min? Should I waste a bench slot on a second catcher?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:17
You need to hit that min and good (Merrifield) multi-position will help. Get to the point you cycle in the best guys. As for the catcher, I'd look for ones with 1B eligibility. Maybe a couple. They can fill in 1B and corner. There may not be any depending on the league settings.
Jason
11:18
OPS as a 6th category, already keeping Lindor, Giolito, Realmuto...would you rather keep Starling Marte or J.D. Martinez? they're next to each other in my ranks
Jeff Zimmerman
11:18
JD. You should have enough speed to compete. If you think you can't get speed in the draft, go Marte
Walt
11:19
Who would be your choice at 2B between T.France, J.Rojas, and R.McMahon?  And even top 2 as I’d like to hang on to two or three for multi-position eligibility
Jeff Zimmerman
11:20
France, Rojas, McMahon. McMahon is useless on the road and needs to sat. The talent of France and Rojas are similar so go for the positional flexiblity.
Al
11:20
Am I overreacting to spring training or is Jake Cronnenworth looking a little undervalued.  Seems to be soundly outperforming all the competition at 2B (and 1B...) while also acting as the backup for a couple guys in the OF with a least modest injury risk.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:21
I don't think the talent is in question, it's more of how SD will divy up the playing time with Profar and Kim in the mix.
Angels in the Outfield
11:21
Best play for Ohtani this year - at SP, or at DH in a 12-team mixed league.  Side note, it’s a QS league for SP.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:21
SP
Worried
11:22
Thoughts on Dalton Varsho as he was my somewhat sleeper/breakout at a thin catcher position.  He hasn’t had a good spring.  Will he make the opening day roster with Arizona?  I need him in my 2-catcher NL only league
Jeff Zimmerman
11:23
All reports have him headed to the minors. It has been that way for months. He might end up on the MLB bench as a sub.
I am the Walurus
11:23
Odds thats Kirilloff starts season with Twins?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:24
15% but I think there is an 90% chance he's up in 2 weeks
He's 100% draftable in all formats
Odor
11:24
Any chance of a rebound from me this year with the pressure on? Or am I just bad?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:25
There is a chance but he needs to quit pulling the ball. He's getting shifted to death. Maybe start bunting all the time.
