Time to give up on Tommy Pham? Looks to only be playing part time now and wasn't doing much when playing.

Jeff Zimmerman

8:18

There are several Pham questions. I'll add him to Gurriel Jr and Soler

Jim

8:18

Any value in Aaron Sanchez? Or is that a mirage?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:18

It was always a mirage.

Jimbob

8:18

what % that Alex Reyes will be closer ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:18

Historically, 40%

I Used to be Mel Clark

8:18

My outfield is loaded in a 10-team OBP. Have flexibility to move Stanton. Is Wheeler enough, or do I need more?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:19

Seems fine if the manager will do it.

Guest

8:19

Am I wrong to think Jared Walsh is being overrated due to a few cheap homers? He has pretty terrible stat cast numbers

Jeff Zimmerman

8:20

Which Statcast numbers. Only a couple are predictive of future performance. They mainly just describe what happened in the past.

Guest

8:20

Do you think Dom Smith will turn things around? If not, who is a buy low or buy high first base trade target?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:21

Voit could be cheap and is about back

Guest

8:21

What would you do with Ian Happ in a 12-team OC?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:22

I'm holding and hoping he comes back Friday. He was just starting to hit and got hurt.

Jimy 2.0

8:22

any AL backup catchers worth FAAB $?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:23

Both in Tampa, and NYY. LAA is bad. MIN with Garver and Austillo

Dan

8:23

Giolito seems a little off. Not putting hitters away as much in 2 strike counts. Any concern?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:24

Sure, but there is no action so I just have to hope with him

Guest

8:24

You seem to be really down on wainright K rate seems strong and has been pretty good since bad opening day start. Is there something in the deeper stats you are seeing that makes you value him so poorly?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:26

A home run rate that has increased for 6 straight seasons. He's gotten too easy to hit

Smokey

8:26

With Yasmani Grandal being utterly worthless right now (.121 BA w/2 HRs) and C being a wasteland, is it best just to bench him and run with no catcher until he figures it out? (12-tm, H2H categories)

Jeff Zimmerman

8:27

He's only hurting you in AVG, when the other four hitting categories. Or find a fill-in catcher with a decent AVG.

duderson

8:27

If Suarez puts up another bad week with 7 games (4 in COL), I will be sad. Underlying stats are bad too. Yikes.

Jeff Zimmerman

8:28

He seems lost but always turns it around. It's tough to know when

8:29

That's it for this week.

Good luck and I'll be here next week.
