I'll go ahead and get started.
Jeff

Who is the better young catcher...Jansen or Mejia?  Who would you prefer to have in a keep forever league?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:02
This is close .... Mejia who I think as more upside. It's catcher, so a replacement can be found if he flops.
Vic
8:03
Please rank for 2019-2023 total value:   Peraza, Odor, Andersen, Mazara, Laureano, Hampson, Profar.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:03
I need a ton more information like the league details to answer questions like this one.
Adam
8:04
Do you change anything about the way you calculate auction values in a H2H league as opposed to Roto? I figured using z-scores made more sense than SGP.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:05
Either is fine. Depending on the league score (roto vs points), I like to only pay for 7 to 9 categories and dominate those for the weekly win.
Adam
8:05
What's the best way to convert a set of auction values into draft rounds? Just order them from highest to lowest and that's your pick value per round?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:06
Yep and then compare to current ADP for deals
Johnny5Alive

woo-hoo sunday night chat! Either of these reasonable/keepable prices in a 13 team NL only league with $270 cap: $29 Greinke, $22 Wheeler?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
Both seem fine. I could see both going for quite a bit more depending on the league's inflation.
Chris Paddack, SD
8:07
Are you targeting Chris Paddack (SD) for your Whip strategy? I see steamer has him top 20 in both WHIP and ERA. They could promote him 3-weeks in and he could throw 120ish innings total. Very interesting statistically.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:08
He's on my radar to own late in drafts (453 APD). I think I'll go for other arms before him.
bobbo
8:08
Next 2 years: A) Gerrit Cole, Brandon Nimmo - B) Juan Soto, German Marquez, Jose LeClerc
Jeff Zimmerman
8:09
B but close
John

Dynasty league with OBP as 6th roto cat and just need 1 more utility.  Waivers tonight and I need power and OBP, put a bid in for Ji-Man Choi or Dexter Fowler?  Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
8:10
Daily moves= Choi, weekly = Fowler
KJ
8:11
What do you think about Zach Eflin?  He was lights out in the first half of the season but really struggled in the second half. Should I look to sell high in a keeper league?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
I like him. I just moved him up in my own rankings tonight after looking into his pitch mix.
8:12
I'm checking on some numbers of his.
8:14
The walks are a concern. If you sell, I'd not fault you as the other owner may not know of the 2H struggles
Magnum pi's Mustache
8:14
Any chance Berrios ends the year with a whip close to last year. Those offenses in that division are brutal.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:15
Maybe near 1.20 to 1.25. It's tough to maintain a .270 BABIP
AC
8:16
In a 16-team, 5x5, $300 league with 13 hitters (normal but 1 C) and 11 pitchers (6 SP, 5 RP, all who are remotely SP's are SP only per the rules)  and a rule that provides that keepers are locked in your starting lineup except when on the DL, I have the following SP's worth keeping potentially: Bauer $24, Taillon $13, Flaherty $6, Foltynewicz $6.  Is Folty too dangerous locked in my lineup?  Even assuming some regression, I figure he is worth $6.  And, with that group at $49 can I just focus on hitting at the auction?  I think it is good enough with some upside guys who won't go for more than $5.  Or should I look for one more big SP?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:16
Folty is fine. I made some changes last season and they should stick
Max
8:17
FGpoints inaugural draft, 24 team dynasty, Keep forever - Where should Vlad and Eloy be going?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:17
Vlad, top 10, Eloy, top-30
BigTuna
8:17
Which 3 would you keep in 12 tm OPS league? Devers (8th rd), Robles (14th), Bichette (26), Christin Stewart (27). Thanks
Jeff Zimmerman
8:17
Not Stewart
Scott
8:18
Do you agree with the projections that Jurickson Profar is a ~109 wRC+ player for 2019? Do you think theres more upside there?
Jeff Zimmerman
Basically, I'd give him a power boost from his projections.
Barry
8:19
How do you feel about Luis Robert? 12 team Dynasty (H2H,daily) league and I have J.Urias, Sixto and Sheffield. Feel like I need to shed a prospect.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:20
I'd do Sixto in a heartbeat. Take the hitting prospects over a pitcher who could blow out his arm at any time.
Jimmy
8:21
Do you tend to fade pitchers in keep-forever dynasty drafts? Hitters seem more reliable year to year and have a longer shelf life. Where would you draft the elite (but older) pitchers? (Sale, Scherzer, DeGrom).
Jeff Zimmerman
8:21
I wouldn't at all. Maybe in the 10th round
AC
8:21
Thanks re: Folty.  But is that group (Bauer, Taillon, Folty, Flaherty) enough that I don't have to spend more on SP?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:22
Maybe, I'd take a few more upside arms
CC
8:22
Hi Jeff, final keeper decision for 12 team, 5x5 roto. Who do you prefer of Ozuna ($18), Conforto ($11), or Osuna ($11)?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:22
Conforto at the price
