Jorge Polanco and Nico Hoerner for Manny Machado.... which side do you like?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:02
Without any more context, the Polanco side. At this point Polanco and Machado are nearly a wash so might as well add Hoerner.
Slam and legs
12:03
how do you feel about Ketel Marte next year? Obviously not a top 10 offensive player but maybe top 25?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:04
I'm probably closer to top-60 to 75. A fourth or fifth rounder in a 15 teamer. I know others won't agree
12:05
Currently 41st in NFBC ADP
Dusty
12:05
Jeff, please let me ask you a question. What do you think of Wander Javier? What is his upside?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:06
KBO
CubFan

With Evan White signing a long term deal even before he's played a MLB game does this spell the end for Vogelbach or does he become their full time DH?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:07
I think he's the 1B/DH to start the season with a very short leash. He seems like someone the Rays would try to pick up
Darin
12:07
Who do you like better for a 15 team roto league.  Lamet or a top prospect like Howard or Gilbert.  I have a $1 free agent opening
Jeff Zimmerman
12:08
Lamet but I'm whore for K's and that 13 K/9 is sexy
twinmh

How much does this deal move Evan White up your draft boards?  Vote of confidence from the team that knows him best, plus removes service time considerations as a roadblock to promotion.
Jeff Zimmerman
12:09
I'm interested but I don't want to count on him this season. Reserve round pick
Three Finger Brown
12:09
Do you ding Severino next year for the shoulder or does the Yankees handling of the situation (keeping him out until Sept) make you feel confident that there will be no ill affects?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:10
I'm scared some and like everyone else, we want to see him in Spring Training. He could really jump up draft boards if nothing appears wrong
PM
12:10
I know you have broadly covered this across articles this offseason but what do you think is the single biggest change in approach for you from 20189 to 2020
Jeff Zimmerman
12:11
For me, it's quickly identifying talent changes and knowing the right amount to spend for it.
Peter
12:11
What's your take on Andrew Heaney next year? HR issues keep him a 4 ERA guy?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:11
A 4.00 ERA is good.
12:12
Only 48 pitchers with 120 innings had a 4.00 ERA
12:13
Only 4 per team in a 12-teamer.
He's flyball prone and with a juiced ball he'll gove up HR. Hell, Verlander did.
Robert
12:13
Realistic expectations for Ohtani 2020?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:14
Misses a few weeks. It's been stated that he'll start ST late if at all
Hitting will be useless in 15-teamers.
12:15
Just 22 starts
Once a week after missing some time
Great in daily moves.
Jean
12:16
Would you rather keep Lux or Addell at the same cost, keeper league?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:16
I'm higher on Adell
Wisco
12:16
Sorry if this is too long for chat. For NFBC contests with overall prizes that 600+ teams vie for, do you see an advantage in early drafting (i.e. getting in a slow draft now, instead of waiting until next march)? Seems like with more time between the draft and the season, there is more variability and your team could get screwed with attrition, but if you are in a league where you team luckily stays intact, and other teams lose players, it would in effect give your team the advantage in the overall pool from drafting players later that would be drafted earlier nearer to the season. To beat 600 other contestants it is good to be smart, but also not going to happen without luck and this would be an easy way to introduce luck/variability (at the risk of also having bad luck).
Jeff Zimmerman
12:17
I've thought about this and I think the best time is right after the Super Bowl or the last week of the season.
12:18
All the football owners are itching for a draft and might not know the pool as well
People who are doing the drafts now are die-hards and little will get past them.
DBRuns

3rd year Ottoneu league, team with 40/40 roster spots filled and $416 in cap used. Would you keep Robbie Ray at $17?
Jeff Zimmerman
12:19
I like the price. At least try to trade him.
8 Ball
12:19
Do you think Chris Bassitt can manage 165+ innings with an average-ish ERA/FIP?  Looking for some under the radar inning eaters in points format.
Jeff Zimmerman
12:20
Maybe. I'm a little worried he may get pushed out into long relief. Don't pay much so cost to cut is minimal.
Hi Jeff
12:21
I'm in a 16 tm keep forever dynasty (6x6 H2H) and have won the championship in back to back years. I have a huge hole at 2B (Shed Long for now, Brujan a couple years away) and have the opportunity to trade away Bellinger and Flaherty for Gleyber and Bryce. I'm thinking no, but I do discount pitching in dynasty and I like the idea of shoring up my 2B spot. For pitching I also have Verlander, Strasburg, Morton, Wheeler, and Darvish. What do you think? Thanks for the help!
