I'm in a 18 team roto where we can keep eight players.  I have Joe Musgrove at $11 currently, would you keep, try to trade or drop him?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:01
Keep or trade. He's getting quite a bit of hype so someone may value him more than you.
Dan

Hi  Jeff!

Hi Dan
Christian Colón for Men

Who would be the first three inductees into the Fantasy Baseball Hall of Fame?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:01
Ron Shandler for sure
11:02
Steve Gardner
John Hunt
Dan
11:03
When considering keepers, how do you weigh total impact versus round discount?  I am in a 16 team points league and need to keep 2  out of Darvish rd 4, C Seager rd 7, Maeda rd 10, Happ rd 20, and Bohm rd 22.  Please help, thanks.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:04
My take is to keep the top-end talent if the plan is to compete. Even though you have a second-round pick by dropping Darvish, someone of his caliber might not be available when you pick.

How do you feel about Happ (MIN) and Quintana (LAA) and where they signed?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:05
It fine for each. I like Happ in the AL central more.
Matt

CBS got me with position eligibility updates from the shortened season. Any sleeper CFers that might not be cost-prohibitive in a trade you like for a points league?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:06
You might get Myles Straw for free and he could produce 50+ steals
Dan
11:06
Hi Jeff! Keep one, no cost, 5 x 5 with OBP and K/BB (for pitchers), balanced team. Dylan Carlson or Sixto Sanchez?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:06
Carlson
Derrick
11:07
How should I value Carter Kieboom? Should start at 3B on a good offensive team, has multiple position eligibility? Do his statcast and plate discipline numbers point to potential breakout?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:07
He was a complete disaster
11:08
He had one extra base hit leading to a .010 ISO. I'm not sure he can hit MLB pitching at this point and I think he might belong in the minors.

Garrett Cooper viable in a 12 team points league w an extra corner IF, utilility, and dh spot?  Thanks much.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:09
Yea, for sure
Dan
11:09
What do you expect from Rhys Hoskins? Think Corey Seager is useful to compare regarding comeback from a UCL tear? Seager tore his lead arm, but Hoskins' tear was in his trailing arm.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:10
I'm not sure the arm for Sal Perez, but he was fine also. Hoskins might struggle for a bit but I think he'll go off at some point.

Thoughts on Brian Anderson? I've seen some positive thoughts  on his steady production but some experts seem to think he's too vanilla.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:11
Vanilla is fine. It's nice to have mainly plug-and-play guys
Snowman
11:11
Would you prefer Austin Hays or Evan White as an upside bench bat? White has the contact to suggest he plays all year and underlying skills seem good if he can correct awful K%. Hays could lead off and would benefit from rumored Santander trade.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:13
It's White. Hays doesn't have a full-time job and I'd not count on a dreamt-up trade that might possibly happen.
Dan
11:13
Favorite 3B values in the first 10 rounds? In the second 10 rounds?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:14
Third base is a little weird with talent in the first couple of round and then a steady spread. Early, I'm filling the spot as early as possible with JRam a distinct possiblity. Later, I've been adding Edman and Gimenez for some speed from 1B
No 3B
Winston
11:15
Who do you like among profar .Kim and cronenworth? And do you buy into hosmer as a launch angle  change guy who’ll develop more power?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:16
I don't like the entire Padres MI situation and I'm just staying away. Also from their OF.
11:17
As for Hosmer, we'll see if the changes stick and he improves. I doubt since he's stuck in his ways.
Jefferson
11:17
Any interest in a pirates backend starter, now that the rotation is wide open? Brubaker, yajure, ponce?
Big Tuna
11:18
Do you have a normal routine/plan you start prepping for drafts? Meaning is there certain information or rankings you look at first?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:18
Keller and Brubaker are rosterable. I'm not completely off rostering any Pirate.
Oops, that is for Jefferson's question.
Now Big Tuna
11:20
Mine is pretty involved but centers around starting with a projection based ranking. Then I dive into every possible pitcher looking for changes. I need to know the pitcher pool inside and out once the season starts.
Big Tuna
11:20
Are you approaching drafts much like you did in 2019 or are you still leaning towards using a different approach given the likelihood of COVID's impact on the season?
