Rodr, Heaney, then Duffy

Checking in on what to do with Ken Giles. Al only, 3 man bench, hard up for saves...
Jeff Zimmerman
8:08
He could get his job back. It really matters the possible replacements
Mr. Incognito
8:08
Buehler will stay in the rotation, right? Or He’ll be moved to the bullpen when Ryu gets back?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:08
Who knows? It's the Dodgers and anything could happen

Add Tatis Jr. to the list of serious injuries sliding head first. Hope that single stolen base was worth it.  There are articles on this site about it and various studies about it . When Mike Trout has to wear an oven mitt to slide head first he is admitting it is more dangerous and he knows about it first hand... no pun intended. I fear one day Betts or Benentendi or Machado will be injured that way and miss the rest of the season and post season. The game is hard enough and injuries are part of the game but to add to the risk is uncalled for. Maybe a GM will one day will make it organizational policy for no head first slides. I will take an out vs a Mike Trout missing 3 months. Thanks for letting me vent.
Jeff Zimmerman

Well said
Pine Needles

Any first half disappointments that you like for a second half breakout (crossing my fingers you say Cody Bellinger)?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:10
Jon Gray. I have too many shares. Daniel Murphy but the turnaround may already be happening
Robert Gsellman
8:10
Will I stick at closer ROS?  Thanks in advance
Jeff Zimmerman
8:10
Possibly

Thoughts with respect to Gohara?   He’s dealt with a lot since the off-season. Is it rust or lack of confidence?  Worth an add?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
It really comes down to the other options.
Hugh

Have a 12 save lead in a roto league, my bullpen consists of Treinen/Chapman/Kela/Dominguez/Britton/Yates. Should I be pursuing bullpen help just because there's a lot of smoke around the majority of those guys getting moved/replaced and Chapman had that weird outing yesterday?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
Are you in a 5-team league? Your Saves are fine but aiming for first place is the wrong approach. You've wasted 11 Saves so far.
Paul S
8:13
Winker or Nimmo ROS in an OPS-based H2H Points league. Thanks
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
Nimmo but closely watch their playing time.
Rickey H.
8:14
NL only keeper league, which is more valuable over next two years,  $23 Aaron Nola or $10 Ross Stripling? Thanks.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:14
I like the security of Nola and don't like to invest in Dodger pitchers
Big Tuna
8:15
OPS league, how would you prioritize Marte, Kipnis and Pinder if HR/RBI were priority?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:15
Starling Marte if he is the Marte listed here
Big Tuna
8:15
If I’m soeculating on Strop, Madson and Brach, how would you rank those?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:15
Strop, Brach, Madson
Cofffeeee
8:16
Thoughts on Willie Calhoun? Staying up ROS and gonna hit?
Nino Sarris
8:16
What is your expectation for Willie Calhoun?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:16
He's going to have to start hitting or he will be demoted. He's DH only at this point and the Rangers are loaded with DH-only hitters.
Jack Flarhety
8:17
As a keeper/future player, where you rank him? Can he develop further?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:18
Not sure but he's problem a keeper in most leagues. Comes down to other options.
Kirby Yates
8:18
Will I be traded and go back to being a MR or am I going to pick up 10-15 to saves ROS for the Padres?  Thanks in advance.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:19
I think he has a 40% chance of being traded to be a MR. Not many weak closers out there on contenders.
Mike
8:19
Just traded Harper in a 14 team H2H 10x10 OBP 12 keeper league (no restrictions) for Acuna and Gleybar.  Did I sell low? Other OFs are Betts Judge Stanton Rosario
Jeff Zimmerman
8:20
Trade seems fine with your depth.
Steve
8:20
12 team h2h (qs and ops).  How much longer can I wait for Jose Martinez, luke weaver, and pivetta to turn things around?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:21
Dump Weaver. Hold J-Mart until the trade deadline. He needs to be in the AL. I still like Pivetta
8:22
Well, that will be it for the evening. Talk to everyone next week. -Jeff
