Jeff Zimmerman

I think he heads to the minors until he figures a few things out. I've been low on him for a while (platoon issues). The Dodgers have other options.
Bob Villar
11:30
Kelenic or Franco for fantasy purposes only?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:31
They both should be great. I think it's Franco but I know I could be wrong.
JJJ
11:31
Darby Swanson for real?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:32
Looks that way. There is a great piece in The Athletic on him and other Braves hitters.
Erik Guy

What is enough of a package to deal for Louis Robert in a 12 team standard dynasty league with 3 year contracts?  I was hoping to package 2 of the following: Voit, Vlad Jr, Gore, Madrigal, Keiboom, Pablo Lopez and N. Pearson.  I'm in complete rebuild and only set on holding Bichette.  All players involved have full contract length.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:33
Voit, Vlad, and Gore are the only options. The others are non-factors.
11:34
It depends if the other team is competitive. If so, Voit and Vlad should help them. If you don't come with them, the trade might now happen.
RMR
11:34
How would you rank these starters in terms of odds of holding down a rotation spot?  What about in terms of performance if they do?  Morejon, Alzolay, Trevor Rogers, Corbin Martin, Bubic
Jeff Zimmerman
11:35
Alzolay, Bubic ....................Morejon, Martin, Rogers.
RMR
11:35
Is Meadows going to get platooned?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:36
I thought he was, but it depends on if/when Alcantara returns to the team.
Sean
11:36
Where do you see Almora ending up this season?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:37
He's a fine player but fantasy doesn't count defense. I think he remain irrelevant.
Quadrangular
11:37
Do you like Winker or Happ to continue to build on their 2020 in 2021?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:37
Happ yes, I'm not as high on Winker.
Tom
11:37
Hosmer's lauch angle, here to stay??
Jeff Zimmerman
11:37
I'm guessing no, he's just too stubborn to change.
The Final Boss
11:38
Huge MiLB shakeup inbound. My heart goes out to all those cities about to lose teams. That being said, seems like most of the changes are positive for the product as a whole.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:38
It needed to happen for a while and the band-aid was slowly being removed. MLB just went for the full rip.
11:39
Now, with the short draft and less teams, I think there is a good opportunity for Indy ball to help some kids get found. It might take a year or two for everything to come into place.

Will Austin Hays leadoff for the Orioles all season long?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:40
All the Orioles are tough to evaluate. They have flashed of good play and then can't do anything. Mullins could also leadoff.
Guest
11:41
I just started talking trades, and got an interesting offer in my QS/OBP keeper.  I give up Franmil, Blackmon, Anderson and Gausman for Maeda and Stanton.  At first, this seems like a lot, but Stanton has upside that might be worth gambling,especially in OBP, and Maeda is likey a top 15 pitcher in QS.  Am I crazy to consider this?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:41
Make the trade, you're getting the 2 best players.
RMR
11:41
Do the Angels give Barretto a real shot at 2B?  Or do they put a vet in front of him?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:42
Barretto is done and there are several FA 2B that can be added who are better than Barretto
RMR

Among VanMeter, Rojas and Andy Young, who has the best chance to find consistent PT in Arizona this year?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:43
I've liked Young the best but Arizona doesn't agree. They are fairly even but gun to my head ... VanMeter.
RMR
11:43
Does Cole Tucker get a starting spot this year?  Kind of interested in him as a late dart throw.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:44
We'll see who is left on the Pirates so the job might happen. The problem is that Tucker's not good. Just pass.
Alex
11:44
Will Bo Bichette at some point be better than prime Tulo?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:45
Maybe. Tulo's prime will be tough to replicate, but if Bichette stays healthy, the final product might be better.
Tyler Durden
11:46
Keep one, NL only OBP league: $3 Devin Williams, $1 Lamet, $4 Nimmo. How concerned are you about Lamet's elbow?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:46
I'm concerned about Lamet, but at $1, he's with a chance.
Felix
11:46
What should we expect of Brian Reynolds? His rookie season was nice although he had a high BABIP but he had one at every stop in the minors. K% getting higher is worrying though.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:47
I'm staying away mainly because he seems to be an accumulator, but the Bucs are so bad, the Runs and RBI might just be 60/60.
Barely Awake
11:47
Sean Murphy draws lots of walks and has a ton of raw power and should have the bulk of the playing time going forward. Am I wrong thinking he could be a top-5 OBP league catcher in keeper/dynasty leagues?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:48
I wouldn't count on it with how often catchers get injured. I'd just go year-to-year with the catcher position in dynasty and keeper leagues.
Atilla the pun
11:49
Mike Minor NFBC ADP 343.  Michael A Taylor 725.  Do they go up with the Royals signing?  Sounds like the Royals want Taylor to be their starting CF.
