Jeff Zimmerman
7:30
As usual, I will focus on waiver wire and FAAB questions.
7:31
To start out, here are the ToutWars FAAB bids from the two 15-team mixed leagues
7:32
1st in hitting, last in pitching
7:32
FAAB recommendations for Daniel Lynch and McClanahan? 10 team AL only
Jeff Zimmerman
Depending on $$$ left, 5% to 25% of original amount
7:34
I was looking for comps on Lynch and had Matz and Rogers. 95 mph fastball with decent non-fastballs and average command.
Guest
7:34
How much should we bid for Daniel Lynch? Do we think he's here to stay or just a one time start?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
In one of the recent Mining the News/Lineups, Moore mentions that the Royals are only calling up guys to stay.
Ryan
7:36
The elephant in the room is McClanahan. How heavy are we bidding on this guy? Everything points to him being the real deal.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:37
I'm a little worried about him getting Ray'ed around, but process that makes pitcher comps has deGrom as the comp. Who else has 100 mph fastballs and 90+ breakers.
The innings and role are going to be key
Billy Bigshot
7:37
Is Garrett Richards for real?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:38
Maybe. I dug into him for my Waiver Wire article and found a jump in Zone% in his previous start and it seemed good today. I'd add but possibly hold off on starting.
Ray
7:39
reading several different articles this week on FAAB...appears to largely be a week to save cash...overall do you agree?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
Yes. Almost all the decent starters are owned, maybe some one offs. It's getting to the point of the long grind starting
Andy
7:41
Robbie Ray good again? Do I drop him for Tommy Edman? Could use bench bat h2h thanks
Jeff Zimmerman
7:41
Ray is so all over the place. If you need a bat, make the trade.
Mike
7:41
Is Buster Posey worth spending 10% FAAB on? I have Grandal only.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
10%, no. More like 3%
Jason
7:42
With Paddack and Luzardo on the IL now, are Gonsolin and/or Elieser Hernandez droppable in a 12 team? 3 IL spots
Jeff Zimmerman
7:43
This is a tough one. Gonsolin is a month away. Dave Robers commented on it today and may come back to the bullpen.
7:44
I'd drop him first.
Maybe drop Hernandez next to see if anyone cares. You might be able to add him when he gets closer to returning.
Phillies
7:45
Still passing on Pivetta with two games this week?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:45
I am. I don't get involved with pitcher and a 6 BB/9
Bob
7:45
What should I bid for Johan Oviedo? 15 team dynasty. Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:46
Yes, I liked what I saw, but it sucks that he's back in the minors.
Hank
7:46
Trying make sense of a replacement for D'Arnaud in a 2 catcher league.  Is William Contreras worth a pick up?  Or should I roll instead with someone like Astudillo?  Or Stephenson? Or Varsho?  However, I worry about playing time with the last three.  Is Nunez a better bet? HELP!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:47
Catcher is a mess this week. If you can add Contreras, take a chance on him
Astudillo will be catching now that Jeffers got demoted so he's a decent add.
7:48
Varsho has 1, maybe 2 starts so far and several pinch hit at bats so it's tough to add him.
Stassi might be a cheap option
Eva's Woman
7:49
What % of FAAB on Staumont?  You think he gets majority of saves?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:49
If he's available in any NFBC type league, he might go for 30%, same as Merryweather did
7:50
It really depends if another owner is desperate.
Guest

I'm in a Points League.  Dylan Moore is a free agent and he seems to be showing life.  His positional versatility would be better for my team.  Do you believe in Dylan's resurgence?  Can he be the player he was last year?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:51
I'm not at all a fan of Dylan Moore. He's just not a good overall hitter. With Lewis now healthy and Kalenic coming up soon, he's likely heading to the bench.
Red foreman
7:52
12 team roto: I left the auction with Kirilloff and Adell. Holding has worked out for Kirilloff. Am I dumb for maybe dumping Adell tonight for Josh Rojas?
