Thoughts on O'Neill for next two years?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:05
I have a feeling he'll just get jacked around between the majors and minors
Wandy Rodriguez
8:06
Mookie Betts vs Mookie Wilson in a decathlon.  Who ya got?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:06
I'd bett on Willie Wilson

Who gets McCullers spot in the rotation?  Bullpen day seems like a bad idea for the team
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
Framber Valdez has looked good so far
hgs

2b waiver pick up for this week? i got Kinsler but he still seems banged up
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
Before I read the second part, I was going to say Kinsler. Maybe Forsythe if available.
Greg
8:08
Kyle Tucker still worth holding onto or drop for a 2 start streamer like Gaviglio?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:09
I'd drop Tucker for Gav. I'm just not sure the Astros can wait for Tucker to adjust.
Ben
8:09
Better Posey Replacemant ROS: Garver, Omar Navarez, Wieters, or Danny Jansen?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:09
Jansen
Desparately Seeking Pitching
8:10
I am ready to cut bait on Tyler Anderson but there isn't a lot out there.  Do you prefer any of these guys ROS in a points league?  Junis, Sonny Gray, Framber Valdez, Barria, Poncedeleon
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
I'd look hard at the matchups and stream. I'd never hold Gaviglio for the season but with games vs Balt and Miami, he's a must add
Desparately Seeking Pitching
8:11
Betances or Neshek ROS - points league
Jeff Zimmerman
8:12
Neshek ROS. Personally, I'd go with Betances for a week and then dive in again.

Are there particular stats you use to determine if a young player has starting realizing their potential versus just a hot streak?  I'm think Willy Adames particularly, but I've wondered the best way to sort through the noise in other instances too.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:14
Rank in O-swing and Z-contact. These let me know if he knows the strike zone. Then see where he ranks in Exit Velocity to see if he hits the ball hard.
Jake Junis Priest
8:14
Eovaldi been making me sad lately. Gonna do better vs. White Sox next week, right? Or should I start looking elsewhere?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:14
I'd use him against the White Sox
Mooseknuckle Curves
8:14
Is Alex Cobb back?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:17
Everything is the same with him except for a lower ERA from a .232 BABIP (last month). I'll pass

i have three decent closers (Vazquez, Osuna, Giles) plus two injured closers (Chapman, Morrow) - looking for RP depth in playoffs.  currently have Andrew Miller on bench.  who's best option - Miller, Neris (I see another question about him) or Soria.  looking at potential to be in the mix for saves as otherwise I'm probably happy with Miller now that he seems to be fixed (knock on wood)
Jeff Zimmerman
8:18
If you need Saves, take a chance on Neris but Miller will give you better rate stats
CPT
8:18
Was surprised to see Laureano so high in FAAB. Is he better than most of the other OFs you've been discussing (Mullins, Greg Allen, Melky, etc.)? Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
8:20
No, but he's been playing. All those others are already owned in this league. The auction league is hyper-competitive (Ron Shandler's in 14th and trying hard to move up) with no dead teams. I'm in another industry 15-team league where the WW options are so much better.
Amazing Larry
8:20
thanks
Jeff Zimmerman
8:20
You're welcome
Frank
8:21
Are we going to see Wellington Castillo so
Jeff Zimmerman
8:22
Guessing yes but the White Sox may just shut him down
Davey Johnson
8:22
Time to move on from Stras in a 12-team mixed? Hill and Fiers available.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:23
I'd bench and see how his start tomorrow goes.
Andrew
8:23
Wee Willy McKinney or Jay Bruce Ros? Fangraphs pts
Jeff Zimmerman
8:23
Bruce if he plays
Dan
8:23
Atlanta and Brewers gone to mix and match closers? I have Hader and Minter. Drop Minter for Jeffress and at least have Brewers saves covered?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:23
Not a bad idea.
8:25
Hader is 70th in the league in K's at 111 tied with Thor and Robbie Ray
E
8:25
Drop Chad Green for Steckenridge? Saves and holds league
Jeff Zimmerman
8:25
Yes
Amazing Larry
8:25
Neris over Neshek?
