Ahoy
11:18
Are the top 3 Pirates for fantasy Hayes, Reynolds and the Parrot?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:18
Close, I've considered rostering Moran and Frazier. Fraizer is a nice late add in a draft and hold since he has 2B and OF.

Yahoo has announced that they will be keeping position eligibility for all 2019-2020 guys. How much does this increase the value of a guy like Kiner-Falefa who now has a starting job at SS? Also, where would you rank him in the top 20 of guys who will be C eligible this year? Thanks Jeff!
Jeff Zimmerman
11:19
I'm pretty sure he'd be in the top 10 or higher. Just getting 600 PA from a catcher is huge.
USEP
11:20
Who would you feel more confident getting top 10 type production from, Springer or Judge?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:20
No. Judge could be #2 or #150.
I think Springer is a safe #15 to #25 player

Wishing for a deep dive on Luke Weaver, I know his 2019 seems fluky but he did all that pitch design work. Then his 2020 injury cuts both ways as usual (maybe it's debilitating, maybe he'll get over it) ... how did he look at the end of the season?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:22
Come back to Rotographs in 24 hours and I'll have my take on him. Basically, he made a ton of changes and screwed up right at the end.
Chucky

Are you buying in to Kyle Lewis as an OF2? Most rankings seem to be down on him. Possible late bloomer due to his knee injury suffered early on in his minor league career. Robert seems to be ranked as an OF1 yet Lewis’ 2020 season seems eerily similar.
Jeff Zimmerman
11:23
I've got Lewis in the OF3 to OF4 range. And Robert lower than the consensus. I don't see much upside for either one.
11:24
That said, they could have a great season in a Javy Baez way if their BABIP jumps up.
Nick
11:24
In a dynasty format, do you prefer Bart, Varsho, or Kirk for the long-haul (assuming at catcher)?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:24
If just for long term catcher, Bart
Patrick
11:24
Yahoo gives Ian Happ 2b eligibility. How much does this boost his value?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:25
Just the amount you'd give any player for having multi-positions. I don't find second base to be a scarce position.
JN

Does J. Villar's value drop severely if he signs with a team like TOR where he wasn't playing every day and stealing a sh*t ton of bases? I really hope he signs with a garbage team like the O's again where he stole 40+
Jeff Zimmerman
11:27
Villar is projected for a .700 OPS. That's barely replacement level, so anyone who drafts him should expect him to just be a part-time bat.
Quadrangular
11:27
You taking the over or under on 14.5 steals for Wil Myers?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:28
I want to see their batting order. I could see the team's SB drop if everyone is hitting. They could settle for the 3-run homer
Henry
11:28
What's your closer strategy this year?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:28
Depends on the league
11:29
Draft and hold, I like to go early with two guys with obvious handcuffs and get both (Chapman and Britton).
11:30
I redraft, I like one sure bet, and then a ton of late darts hoping just one hits. I can drop the rest for breakout starters.
JN
11:30
Would you buy low on Arenado in any situation if the price is right?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:30
I have him valued at pick 70. He'll always go before that point
Curtis
11:30
What is the latest round you drafted a player who in that season became a stud?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:31
I got Bellinger late in his rookie season.
The Bandit
11:31
Think Devin Williams gets saves this year? If so, how many?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:31
Yea, maybe 5 to 15
I think the Brewers will add an arm
FancyGraphs
11:32
Hi Jeff, I realize this is a tough question, but who do you think has been the most valuable fantasy season in say the last 50 years or so, taking position into account? Could it be MVP Pudge? Is it easily a Bonds early 2000s?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:33
This is out there... there was a retro draft with all players. I thought it was one of Rickey Henderson's. Ask Rudy Gamble or Eno Sarris, I think they were in it.
Crates
11:33
Why did you post that regressing statcast article as a stand-alone
Jeff Zimmerman
11:34
I thought it was going to be longer but still wanted it for people to reference. I'm a little tired of people think most StatCast changes will stick
JN
11:35
Should I be concerned about Dom Smith's playing time with no NL DH?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:35
I'd be worried about Alonso's also since Smith might be the better hitter.
I'm staying away from both until there is an official ruling
KMan
11:36
Think Aaron Hicks is a viable OF3/4 in a league with OBP and no SB?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:36
Make it a shallow league since he's going to spend a month or two on the IL
