I'm buying Lyles where possible. His pitch mix has changed (dumped sinker) for the better.
Bryan
7:30
Fine to give up on Margot in 10-team mixer yes?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:31
Yes, seems like little upside this season

7:31
What are you doing with Jon Gray in a 12 team h2h? K% and xFIP are great, but so inconsistent... Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:32
Sitting. I think he may be hurt. His velo and spin were down the start before last but I haven't checked his last start.
Vegan Man!
7:32
Expectations for Soto? Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:32
Limited but he could take off like Lindor a few years back.
Richard
7:32
If you had to move one of Chris Archer or Carlos Martinez (20 team dynasty w/25 players, 20 man minor league roster) who would you choose to move?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
Archer, he's never proven he can navigate a lineup 3 times.
Biff Pocoroba
7:33
Very deep AL league, which MI to pick up? Saladino, Goodrum, Iglesias
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
Goodrum for now
Richard
7:34
Better add for RF: Jason Heyward, Mac Williamson, Kole Calhoun (roster currently includes Souza/Chris Owings as RF options)
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
Punt ... Heyward but I'd keep looking
Vegan Man!
7:35
Best 2B/SS option in a 12 team roto - Pirela, Kinsler, Russell, Josh Harrison, Duffy? Thank you!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
And now answer it.   Harrison with redraft, Russell keeper
Steve
7:35
Need SP help in my H2H 10 team points league. Looking to move Cody Bellinger for Dallas Keuchel. Hoping Keuchel finds a groove. Dumb move?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
Seems OK, Keuchel's fine. He's just being compared to the rest of the Astros staff
Steve P
7:36
Jon Gray becoming "droppable" in 12-team?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
Just bench for now
Chet Lemon
7:36
M. Olson or C Santana ROS in 5x5 Avg league?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
Santana
Hary
7:36
What do you think about Ross stripling in deeper league?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:37
I try not to .... seems like a Streamer, not a keeper
Vegan Man!
7:38
Would you start Cahill (2 starts) in a 14 team points league over any of these next week: Archer v. BOS, Arrieta v. ATL, or Maeda v. COL. Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:38
Start Cahill over Arrieta
Richard
7:38
What OAK SP would you add? Graveman or Gossett?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:38
Graveman and hope he's made a change
Steve P
7:39
If Gohara pitches well on Wednesday vs. Philly, does he keep a rotation spot over Soroka? Worth a pick up, FAAB%?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:39
Worth owning in all leagues to see how his playing time plays out.
Tommy
7:40
Jeff, just lost Pollock. Would you move Luis Castillo for G. Polanco or Teoscar if you were in need of hitting?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
I think you can aim higher with Castillo's last few starts
Drew
7:40
Know you will get a ton of Soto questions, but does the lack of upper minors experience temper expectations at all? Are you buying S. Dominguez as the Phils closer? Or is Gohara a better investment for this season assuming saves and SP are equal needs
Jeff Zimmerman
7:41
On Soto, I have some reservations but the Nats need help with a ton of OF injuries. Soto may just play replacement level ball but that is probably all the Nats are hoping for.
7:42
Owners should understand he has been rushed but Washington is playing to win. I don't blame them. He may not be ready but they don't have many options.
7:43
Soto didn't really force himself like Vlad is doing, this move is all off team needs
