Hi everyone.
Joe
3:01
Assuming Carlos Rodon and Michael Fulmer are both healthy, which of the two would you prefer? Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
3:01
Simply, I think the Sox will Win more games.

Do you think Josh James wins the 5th spot in the Astros rotation still? Does the shorter season make you like him any more (or less)?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:02
I'm not sure how to approach him without the schedule.
Teams could need 6 starters.
3:03
Also, he could be going 4 IP with another starter going the other 4 IP.
3:04
He's sort of big gamble right now but I understand why people are interested with his talent.

I see no love for Kolten Wong and not much more for Tommy Edman in most projections.  My leagues are 12 teams, one traditional scoring, one w OBP not BA, and one Otto classic 4X4.  Am I being a dope here, or are these guys interchangeable parts on a fairly good team?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:05
The issue with Edman is playing time, especially in a weekly lineups league.
3:06
There is a chance he only plays 3-4 a week.
With Wong, I'm not sure he's a good player.
3:08
He has Roto value with his 24 steals, but he was almost unplayable in the 1H with a .703 OPS and .244 AVG. These were inline with his 2018 stats
A 2H .896 OPS saved him

Thanks for chatting...I am going to start a dynasty league. Should I wait until we know when there will be games again, or does holding the draft now add a fun twist, and help us fill the void in a meaningful way?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:09
I'd hold off until you are for sure games will be played
Don't draft and then wait a year.
3:10
Now, you can draft now and if there are no games, redraft next year.
Don Juan

If there is a truncated season, do you think that will lead to stud pitchers pitching deeper into games, or do you think starters in general will pitch less innings per start, as bullpennning takes over? Trying to figure out what happens to starting pitcher usage in a short season...
Jeff Zimmerman
3:10
I think the guys that can go long will so the bullpen can be used with the weaker starters.
Joe
3:11
Since we're all bored, and maybe this is better for an article, what would an all time fantasy first round look like?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:12
Too much for right now, but some of Rickey's steals could be a major difference maker
Chucky
3:12
Are Segura and Kieboom decent speculative grabs for their possible position eligibility at both 2B and 3B respectively?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:13
I'm big on Segura. I have him about everywhere as a late add.
3:15
The extra flexibility is just a bonus
Don Juan
3:15
Can you believe Mark Buerhle fell 1.1 innings short of 200 innings for 15 straight years?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:15
He was an innings eater.

3:16
Can you give a Wander Franco comp?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:17
Yelich
3:18
Franco can and should be a five-category contributor but is lacking in power.
Since he plays SS, maybe Lindor.
Don Juan
3:18
My league has never done FAAB. Does that mean that you only have one opportunity to pick up free agents each week? If your 3B gets injured mid week, do you need to place like 4 different bids for 3B to make sure you get one?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:19
That is how my leagues work and sometimes I put in eight if I think the demand will be high.
3:22
Most of players will be for min bids. Taking a zero for the week is devastating. Some leagues like the NFBC allow for mid-week subs.
I'm running a little low on questions, so feel free to ask away.
Plus Hands
3:22
Any general draft tips for redraft only leagues?
Jeff Zimmerman
3:23
I try when possible to work backwards from where I think I can get the best deals
This year, I try my hardest to stay away from OF and SS early on.
3:25
There are several guys I like late at each position, so why block them
Joe
3:25
Alright, back to my all time first round: Would Bonds's 73 homer season, Rickey's 130 steal season, or Ruth's 60 homer, .354 average year go number 1? Or someone else?
