We laugh off the 'best shape of his life' stuff, but are there any situations in which you pay attention to it?  Or is it always just nonsense for fantasy purposes?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:56
I like to look at why they are in great shape this year. Was it a previous injury or they were lazy.
I am supposed to be WFH right no
11:56
I play in a 10-team keeper league, with 24-players kept. We do OBP and SLG, not BA; and QS and K/BB, not W.
Who would you be offering for Bobby Witt in this league, I don't have much in the way of MI? I have Lamet, Meadows, Soler, Hendricks and others that I could offer
And could you relate your thinking as to why?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:57
My best advice, go back and look at past trades to get an idea of what is fair in the league
Each keeper league is its own monster

Trea Turner worth a first round pick in a points league?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:58
Towards the end of it. really depends on the system and possibly how much pitchers are pushed up

What are your thoughts on Nick Pivetta's last 2 starts in 2020 and his prospects for keeping the momentum going into 2021?
Jeff Zimmerman
11:59
I watched the starts and he's a bad Blake Shell. Some swing and miss, put a ton of walks and homers. Missed the plate a lot.
Diadem

Diaz in Col  a sleeper?

Is Conforto and Bogarts for Springer and Semien a fair deal for both sides or not at this time?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:01
Seems like rearranging deck chairs. with the same positions moving back and forth

I need to keep a 1B:  should I do Luke Voit or Goldschmidt?  Roto 6X6.  Worried about both, might just keep Fried as my third starter behind DeGrom and L. Castillo.
Jeff Zimmerman
12:01
I'd keep both 1B over Fried but I'm low on Fried at his cost. Goldy of the pair.
Lorenzo
12:01
Austin Hays.  Does he get enough playing time to warrant an end of draft pick?  Is the power/speed upside intriguing enough?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:02
I don't like the cost for a player who might get benched.

Hi! Can you name several best SP 2021 not names Cole, Bieber, Darvish or Baurer.  And maybe a surprise pick
Jeff Zimmerman
12:02
There are no surprises. Everyone is picking over the top arms.

Approach to pitching this year with the ball returning back to normal (don't call it a dead ball). Why would people pay top $ for the aces when the next tier guys would be better value. Ideally wouldn't you want guys coming of seasons that are high K/9 and fair to midling high HR/9 thinking those bombs are going to come down?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:03
No way to truly know the ball's effect until the season starts.
12:04
My only change is that I'm favoring flyball pitchers if two guys have similar projections.

Are you banking on Altuve getting 10+ steals this year?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:04
No, just 5 but at that point in the draft, he's a fine value
kelder23
12:05
Why are people so down on Bryant?  He was the number 1 3B by WAR for five years until 2020.  And that was 2020.  I'm back in on the discount
Jeff Zimmerman
12:05
WAR isn't a fantasy stat
paddack
12:05
do you expect a Paddack rebound this year. His 2019 statcast page looks elite, he tinkered with his pitches a lot in the short 2020 season. If he can get his FB back to 2019 numbers can we expect an SP2 type?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:06
I think more SP3. Hitters have adjusted to the two pitches and he needs to find something else to keep them guessing
Mike
12:07
Can Corey Seager be a 1st round player this year without the steals?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:07
Nope, I bet just one or two hitters produce first round value with fewer than 10 steals.
Stringer
12:08
Any NL future closers to stash and hide?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:08
None that I can think of. They are best handle in-season

Rainey IS out as closer in WAS, right? Best strategy if you own shares...wait to see if injury bug hits in ST and he slots up?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:09
I'd hope unless you have an upgrade
In 15 team or deeper leagues, his stats could be useful if there are no good starter options
12:10
That's it for today. Talk to everyone next week.
