Fantasy Baseball Chat With Jeff Zimmerman

Max Fried a top 15 SP in 2021?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:05
He's not for me. The strikeout drop is alarming. If he repeats 2020, he's a bad version of Kyle Hendricks.
11:06
Expect for the 2.25 ERA. I expect it to jump up at least a run, possibly two.
Big Joey
11:06
Would you be shocked if Gleyber Torres puts up a .280  40  100/100 season in 2021?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:07
For sure. I'm not a fan at his price and I think the 2019 HR's will be a huge outlier.
11:08
The AVG is would be a career high but reach able. The Runs and RBIs are expected if he stays on the field.

Does Sanchez have more fantasy value staying with Yanks or moving to another team,I assume Yanks would be quicker to sit him than a new team
Jeff Zimmerman
11:09
I think he's done right now. I think the best case for Sanchez is to go to 2nd or 3rd tier team, be the second catcher, and then DH.

Is Kershaw a good keeper at this point? He's got a ton of mileage and he's clearly not prime-Kershaw anymore, but the SP landscape is so bare and the Dodgers are just so good (Wins/Losses). Fried or Kershaw for the next 3 seasons?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:11
Even though I was done on Fried earlier in the chat, I do like him over Kershaw over three seasons. Kershaw's back injuries popped back up and they will become more and more of an issue as he ages.

I have Kopech for $14 and Puk for $9 in an ottoneu league and am struggling to decide if they are worth keeping.  I can get a solid mid rotation piece in the auction for that price without the upside or a lower level arm for $2-$3.  I guess i answered my own question there, but where would the line drawn for overpriced pitching prospects?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:13
Kopech is out IMO, with Puk it's closer and someone may love him. Feel free to let them both go.
Slapshot
11:13
I'm in a weekly moves league where before the season begins I have to decide whether I'll designate Shohei Ohtani as a hitter or a pitcher.  Where do you see him as being more valuable to my team in 2021?  I'm decently loaded for pitching, but my hitting, as is usual with this team, needs work.  Or, should I look to trade him instead?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:13
Trade him.
11:14
It sounds like he'll try to throw again and IF successful, he'll only DH a few days.
11:16
Now, if the pitching fails again, he's in a three-headed 1B/DH monster with Pujols and Walsh.
For those reasons, he's just not worth the hassle right now.
Offer up
11:16
What is a fair offer for Ottoneu Fangraph $52 Juan Soto? I offered $59 Bryce/$25 Bieber/$25 Devers. Thank you
Jeff Zimmerman
11:17
That seems fair. Bieber and Devers could get Soto at those prices.

Where do you sit on Dinelson Lamet? I think he's the next Chris Archer. A guy with strong Ks who has too wide of an ERA variance to merit his draft price
Jeff Zimmerman
11:18
I was high on him until the late season injury. Now, I'm off. The two-pitches are fine but once the velocity goes, the pitcher is done (e.g. Patrick Corbin). Also, the pitcher could develop a new pitch and take a step forward.

Is Rowdy Tellez the real deal? Sure is a pretty statcast page.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:19
Ssshhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Mike H

Any news in the last month got you pumped about a player?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:21
I've been deep diving starting pitchers, so the names are more interesting than anything else. Chatwood could be a good add. Alozay (sp?) of the Cubs has made a few great changes. All the Marlin starters ... so much goodness going on there.
Brad
11:21
Thoughts on Civale this year?  Thanks.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:22
I like him in the cost should be low enough ...
11:23
188 ADP on NFBC ... I guess not a deal
11:24
I think he needs to clean up a few things like dumping the slider.
He could go in some many directions.
Bret
11:24
where would you rank the guys getting posted such as Sugano, arihara and Ba in FYPD?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:25
I'm going to wait until they are all posted and then dive in.
Pete

5x5 roto (i.e. traditional categories) would you rather have Arenado or Devers for the next 5 years?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:26
Devers and it's not even close
Trader Bob

Are you with the conventional wisdom on Tyler Stephenson (kinda good, will likely be eased in on the short side of a platoon), or are you more down or up on his possibilities to pan out slightly more than the usual catcher prospect does?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:28
I think I'm up, but I'll never buy in early. Catcher have so much going on it seems like it takes several seasons for them to get going.
Buff
11:28
In an NL only keeper league I have Luke Weaver and Adrian Houser on the bubble at $7.00. Do you have a take on those guys? Keep, drop, or try to trade?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:28
Damn those are close
11:29
IMO, i'd throw them back and you should at least get them back at that cost but possibly cheaper
Jefferson
11:29
How do you feel about Gavin Lux? Should he still be considered a top 10 prospect in baseball? It worries me that the dodgers seemingly lost faith in him after less than 200 PAs. They wouldn't carry him on the WS roster
