Dom Smith or Matt Olson in a dynasty league?  Thanks much.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:01
Olson right now. I'm really worried about Smith's playing time over the next few years.
Rob

Jeff, what is your outlook for Jonathan Villar?  Assuming he signs with a team, do you envision him as a utility bench player or a starter that could reward those that draft him?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:02
He's undraftable for me until he signs. No one can guess his role, so until it is known, assume the worst.

Who are some of the later "closers" that are being drafted that you have some faith in drafting?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:03
Martin with the Braves.
Holland with the Royals

Justin Upton is a) victim of small sample size b) on a two year, downward trajectory due to age and injury c) all of the above.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:04
b and he did try to rework his swing late in the season.

Was Kentel hurt last year??
Jeff Zimmerman
11:05
Not that I have read

Setting up my rankings for a startup dynasty league and I'm unsure of what to do with Yordan Alvarez. Right now, I have him as an early 3rd-rounder (14-team league). Is the risk too high for such an early pick?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:06
It would be for me. I'm not rostering a DH-only with two recent knee surgeries.
Kyle Escobar
11:06
Wander get unleashed as a full time player sometime this year?  Lux have a shot at a full time position?  Thanks.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:07
Maybe on Franco, but sure. No on Lux

Do you change team names every year? Or stick with the same one?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:07
I usually change or don't change it at all.

Should 10 category H2H have a different Hitter/Pitcher OLS than standard roto? Seems like a big week from an Ace can go a long way towards 2-3 categories across all the 1-week sample size matchups
Jeff Zimmerman
11:08
Not really IMO. Just draft the aces. Also, if a hitter has a 3 HR game, they are going to carry team.

How are you evaluating prospects ahead of a MiLB draft in any leagues where you have them? In a deep dynasty where 85% of all top 100 lists aren't available how would you throw your darts?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:10
No idea really. I'd go in with the assumption nothing changed but be ready to pivot on a dime if there is any new info.
Baseball Yeti
11:10
if someone is looking for an edge what is the biggest inefficiency you see or hear about in redraft home leagues?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:10
Home town bias. Let everyone else bid up the home town boys.

How are you adjusting pitching in a quality starts league? Is it as simple as moving up pitchers who have a track record of going deep, or are there any younger pitchers ready for a larger workload?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:11
I'm looking into IP/S in September. Who could go late into games.
11:12
I expect all pitchers to have a short leash in April and May, but then start to go longer.
Greg

What's your Plesac ERA/WHIP projection for 2021? How many $ do you think he's worth on draft day (assuming $260/team).
Jeff Zimmerman
11:13
I haven't created one beyond the standard Steamer one yet. Sorry
Power cat
11:13
In a shallow 10-team yahoo league without MI/CI (very shallow!!) would you significantly prioritize SP > bats since waiver wire replacement level should be incredibly high for hitters? Auction calculator still makes bats look attractive if one assumes 60-67% of budget to hitters
Jeff Zimmerman
11:14
I would grab several aces and then ignore the positions for a while
Power cat
11:14
How concerned are you about hitters who struggled from not having video like JDM/Yelich going into 2021?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:15
Some, but it's tough to know the true effects.
11:16
If I do anything, I'll just revert back to the players 2020 projection.

Last season I ran a best ball WAR league for 8 friends and family. 40 man rosters, prorated 700 best PA per position and  best 1400 innings. "Best" was determined by WAR/PA or WAR/IP. Any services that do something similar?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:16
None that I know, sorry.
>this guy<
11:16
If you were going to cut one of equal price Rhys Hoskins or Eugenio Suarez, who goes?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:17
Hoskins. There are a ton of serviceable first basemen.
Dback
11:17
How interested are you in Varsho? Do you think he can get the projected 10ish steals?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:18
I'm extremely interested. With so many bad catchers, he's worth a shot.
>this guy<
11:18
Is there a home for Didi G anywhere?
