I'll go ahead and start.

Chance mcmahon can breakout w regular pt this year?  .280/30/90?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:02
He'll need regular playing time and I'd never bet on that.
8:03
And if he hits the line you posted, he'll probably be unplayable on the road. I think Arenado, Story, and Blackmon are the only hitters good enough to play on the road.

10 team roto dynasty. Would you accept Dealing Harper in return for Kepler + one of the following: wheeler, gray, Morton, McNeil, kiriloff?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:04
To win this year, sure for Morton. I'd keep Harper.
PB
8:05
Who do you think has the best chance of positive return on value: Danny Santana, Domingo Santana, Mazara, or Tauchman?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:05
Domingo Santana. His price will be nothing and could be OK
Jim Leyland Palmer
8:06
Keep 5 Forever (10 teams, 5x5 categories, 2 UTIL spots), I have these 5 locked in: Bellinger (1B/OF), Albies (2B), Bregman (3B, SS), Vlad (3B), Jram (will lose 2B eligibility with latest news, 3B only). Should I consider moving one of my 3B out for a comparable player at a different position? Or would you not worry about the redundancy?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
You could if someone else is in the same boat. Maybe just post in the league message board and someone else may be loaded at other positions.
The Batman
8:07
Think Lynn or Ryu can perform close to 2019 numbers?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:08
Yes. They have before but health has been the issue.

Khris Davis is a top ___ player at end of 2020?

I  need 5 keepers for next season.  Am I crazy to keep Eloy over Villar?  My other keepers are Jose Ramirez, Springer, Ketel, and Albies.  I dont know if I buy into Villar especially if theres no juiced ball next season.  Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
8:09
I'd drop Ketel before Villar and it's not close
Jeet
8:09
Playing my first 15 team, 50 players draft and hold.  Any tips on draft strategy?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
Get as many multiposition players as you can. Also, get people playing instead of rookies. Don't speculate on closers. Get known closers and good closers (project ERA under 3.00) and stop.
Pedro Cabeza
8:11
In 4x4 Otto, guys are wearing me out with offers, crappy mostly, for a $22 Soto.  I think he is worth keeping, even with allocation, for two or three more years.  Am I sane or nuts?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
You're fine keeping him.
Jon
8:12
Revisiting keepers for next year and have a bit of a logjam. Pick two: kluber, Bauer, sale, starling marte, joeram, albies? Dont need to list all my other keepers but do Have degrom as an auto keep on pitching. Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
Jose Ramirez and Sale. Both could be the best player next season.
Jon
8:13
Any strong opinions on the first year player drafts this offseason? Thinking I’ll be aggressive on the international signings like Dominguez, puasson, peña, etc
Jeff Zimmerman
8:14
Go for a prospect hitter (or trade out of the spot) but with the other picks, don't ignore the players coming over from Korea and Japan. They can help your team this year.
Thank you for the chat!
8:14
When do you think Luis Robert is up this season?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:15
Probably the first home series after the team games a year of control
TMoney
8:15
So, who do my Reds end up with??   One more "big" name? or smaller incremental moves?  Who could be surprisingly traded by Cincy? (is that three questions?)
Jeff Zimmerman
8:16
I could see them sign or trade for a pitcher. I like the idea of Keuchel (sp?) going there
Michael
8:16
Jeff! Great to have you back. I'll need to take off when the wife says it's time for His Dark Materials, but looking forward to all the chat I can stick around for. - Michael
Jeff Zimmerman
8:16
Thanks for setting your priorities.

Read your book again. Great again. Curious about how often you adjust Steamer projections to come up with your $ values? Do you need a good reason before you do it? Or do you not use Steamer?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:18
I use a combo of several projections. Jared just makes Steamer available to us as soon as the season ends. I add in Zips, Zola's, the Bat, and others.
Dom
8:18
Do you think Jonathan Schoop is likely to find a role somewhere? How many plate appearances would you ballpark him for?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:19
I doubt he'll find a good spot but could.
I expect more demand for Hernandez
Thank you for the chat!
8:19
How do you see the extra roster spot impacting pitcher usage? Top end SP innings more valuable? Guessing the value gets even more spread in the middle between generic starters/middle inning guys...
Jeff Zimmerman
8:20
It'll be interesting since pitchers now have to go 3 batters unless the inning ends.
8:21
Also, there is the 15 day IL
I think one factor will dominate the usage but I'm not sure which one.
Getting to Second Base

Hi Jeff - Wondering your thoughts on a couple of keystone guys, Biggio and Arraez.  General thoughts would be great, but if specific questions better . . . Do you think Biggio substantially cuts down on his K-rates or more likely stays above say 25%, and do you think he stays at 2B long-term or moves positions? And do you think Arraez remains an elite OBP guy for years to come?
