Now that Zips projections are done, have the depth charts projections been updated?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:59
Let me look
8:00
Not yet
They probably will once ZiPs is added to the projection list
another bad dynasty manager

Hi Jeff: I'm in a 16 tm 12 kpr pts. league with a minimal deduction for Ks by batters (-.25).  I need to choose btw Laureano and C. Hernandez as my final keeper.  Hiura is on my prospect bench.  I traded away my first pick so I won't be drafting until late in the second rd.  Thx for these Sun. night chats! (Other OFs that will be kprs: Hicks, Peralta, & Robles)
Jeff Zimmerman
8:02
I'd stick with Cesar. I see a bounce back after playing hurt for most of the 2018 season.

With NFBC ADP's being fairly accurate to the educated fantasy person, but of course personal ranks leading to reaches - how far of a reach is reasonable, balancing wanting a guy and knowing he generally goes BLANK picks later... I realize this changes throughout the draft, but looking for a rough guideline, from your perspective. Thanks!

Here is how to find out on the availability chances: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/adp-availability-workbook/
I normally take my players once the availiblity drops to 80%
8:04
I found I need to push it up to 95% in early drafts

Is Javy Baez a top 25 guy?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:04
Comes down to format. The steals and extra positions help in standard Roto

NL 11 team auction league. Keeping Buehler 8, Folty 3, Pivetta 1, Gennett 8. Need to pick 4 of this group of 7 for last 4 keepers: Rendon 29, Conforto 18, Suarez 26, Moustakas 17, T Turner 33, C Hernandez 11, Greinke 22, Burnes 2
Jeff Zimmerman
8:05
Conforto is the easy one
And Turner
8:06
It comes down if you have a CI. I like Moose and Suarez but you may have too many 3B. Maybe Greinke instead

Most intriguing sleeper spring training stories for you? Im thinking David Bote, that type of thing. you?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
Pineda, complete wild card
Paul

The auction calculator is giving me a negative positional adjustment for DH-only players. In general, I think I understand the idea of positional adjustments, but this seems off to me. Do you agree with a potential negative adjustment, or is it an odd quirk better to be added back in?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:08
It does hit Util-only too much. In most instances, I'd remove all position adjustments except catcher.
Pete
8:08
Will Nick Senzel with the starting CF job for the Reds?  They seem to not be overly concerned with service time, instead planning for the best lineup angle
Jeff Zimmerman
8:08
It's looking like they'll call him up after the two weeks in the minors.
Dave
8:09
How concerned are you about kershaw this season?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:09
Very. I may take Greinke over him.
Chuck
8:09
Can I count on Francisco Mejia getting enough playing time to serve at catcher in a 14-team league?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:09
He got it last season. I think so in at least a month
Frank
8:10
Forever keeper, is eloy/Tatis fair value for kluber/kershaw?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:10
Sure if it helps to contend for a title this season
If the team is contending, don't trade the prospects
Jackson
8:11
In a 5X5 H2H league (w OBP not BA) with 12 teams, I may keep (as long as I like) only 3 players, and let me add that these fools I compete with LOVE SP’s.  Candidates to keep are J Soto, Stanton, Yelich, Buehler, or Kluber.  My inclination is to drop Stanton given the youth of Yelich and Soto, and keep Kluber, hoping to get Buehler in Round 6.                          
Your thoughts, J. Z.?
(Those ARE your initials.)
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
I prefer going by Jay-Z ... no I don't.
8:12
If keep forever, I keep Beuhler instead of Kluber
Next in Line
8:12
What under the radar relievers do you see possibly stealing some saves as the season moves along?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
Hughes in Cin. There is talk Iglesias will take on a Hader role and Hughes could grab some Saves.

8:13
What is the plan in LAA at 1B/DH. How do you see these 3 Ohtani, Pujols and Bour getting time? Are the going to platoon Pujols and Bour, with Bour getting all the RHP?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:14
No idea except Ohtani is sitting for a month. I think Bour and Pujols are safe for a month as long as they stay healthy.
Mike
8:14
Do you have any tips for those playing in H2H points leagues?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:15
Maximize PA and IP. Razzball has the best in-season tool to help with this. I think it is around $20 and so worth the time it saves for less than $1 a week.

Greinke @$29 or Wheeler @$22 in NL only, 13 team roto league with $270 salary cap
Jeff Zimmerman
8:15
Both
