I've heard closers still have a value edge over other relievers in saves + holds because saves are more plentiful than holds. Is there a tipping point where it's even?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:03
They aren't more plentiful ....
8:04
... and I can't find the article
8:05
A lot of the top Holds pitchers end up closing so they get Saves dropping their overall total. I might need to revisit the idea.
Rx
8:06
Thoughts on Caleb Smith? Looks like his minor numbers support a high K upside.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
...and he has high upside by giving up walks and home runs. He needs to get both under control
Rx

Does Pedro Strop close before Carl Edwards Jr? I would imagine it doesn't matter since the Cubs will eventually trade for a closer as we approach July.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
I'd bet on Edwards
Bob
8:08
Cut J.D. Davis now or wait a bit?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:09
After three games? No, if as an owner, I valued him correctly in the preseason.
Closer
8:09
Prioritize Strickland or Box? % of $100 for each? Thanks for doing this. Great idea.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:10
Box ... I think. Maybe both with 15% each.
Evan
8:11
What are your thoughts on K. Gibson of the twins. After getting rid of his slider he has seemed to turn his career around.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
I wasn't a fan at the end of last season. He's a fine streaming option.
Closer
8:12
Deep league ratio and K help: Hader or Jordan Hicks? Any chance either gets the closer job?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:12
Hicks and 15% for each.
Alex Meisler
8:12
Would you drop Matt Chapman for Jose Ramirez (8×8)
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
Yes if the Ramirez is the one on the Indians.
Mark
8:13
18 team keep forever with saves/holds combined and k/bb rate and 7 RP per team. what % of faab is Jordan hicks worth? I have swarzak, gsellman, steckenrider, glasnow, musgrove, pagan, Michael feliz in those spots right now
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
15%
Kevin
8:13
Kiermaier or Pillar ROS?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
Kiermaier ... more power
sitremba

How much of FAAB to spend on Drury? Only have Beltre at 3B but have depth at 2B and 1B. Does he keep job all year?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:14
No on keeping the job. 5% or less. Drury is no difference maker to spend too much money on
8:15
I can't give up on Salazar
Taylor
8:15
Should I drop gausman for manaea? I think it’s early to judge gausman but he has burned me before
Jeff Zimmerman
8:15
Manaea but expect a DL stint. I'm probably the low man on Gausman
Drew
8:16
Hey jeff.  played chicken with SS in a deep league and ended up with Dansby Swanson.  Would you place a bid on Eduardo Escobar for insurance if it meant dropping Derek Fisher
Jeff Zimmerman
8:17
You might pull off a trade for Fisher. I like Fisher a lot but it's a tough road to playing time. Hold Fisher for a week and see if you can trade him.
Chris
8:17
How much for Kingery this week and Acuna when they come....IF you have must keep them next year if you bid more than $25.  Do you go over that limit?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:18
Save for Acuna and bring a $95 hammer. Hopefully, you have $0 bids. If not, may have to do your 1 for their 2 during the season.
Miguel Andujar
8:18
Will I be up long?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:19
No
Outfielded
8:19
Which 2 of the following 4 would you take ROS: Conforto/Acuna/Haniger/Jose Martinez?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:19
Martinez and Acuna

As a Blake Parker owner, should I be putting down some FAAB on Keynan Middleton tonight after Parker's early hook and Middleton's save?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:19
Yes, for sure
Dave
8:20
Is Sal Romano worth an add? 6 IP/3 ER against the Nats seems pretty good, especially given that Adam Eaton is using cheat codes.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:20
Depends if anything has changed but I'd say no.

Name two guys who will be this year's 2017 Chad Green?
