Jeff Zimmerman
7:31
Hello.
7:32
There are the 15-team Tout Wars winning bids from tonight.
Sean
7:32
Thoughts on Taylor Ward? Been hitting 3rd lately, Statcast looks strong, wondering if there’s room at the inn when Trout returns
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
Possibly. I had/have him on several bid groups. the 5 game week hurts his value this week.
Jedi One
7:34
Time to think about thinking about moving on from Jed Lowrie? 12 team  AL only obp keeper league. Isaac Paredes can maybe take his MI and improve. We are contending. Also rostering Pinder rn.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
I'd hold on to Pinder. I don't like how Paredes is getting jerked around from the minors to the majors.
Micah
7:36
Which RPs do you see gaining and losing the most value as we enter trading season?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:37
I like to use the news from MLBTR who are up on them.

All hail thee Lord Zimmerman!! Time to cut bait on Danny Santana right??
Jeff Zimmerman
7:39
About two weeks too late, but yes, let go
Kcc26
7:39
Donaldson was starting to heat up but now has the dreaded “dtd” tag.  Worth holding in a 12 teamer 6x6 with OPS as a category or swap out for Votto/Cron?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
I might swap out for Votto. Cron is just a streamer at home
Baseball Yeti
7:40
Officially wander time! Celebratory beers aside, what are your 2021 expectations for him? Do you vary much from projections on him?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
I'm sure there will be a ton of questions on Wander. Here is my take:
7:41
  1. I expect nothing from him since most other rookies have failed. I think the step up from AAA to MLB is larger this season.
7:42
2 I'm interested in how the playing time will work out and what position he'll play
Dave
7:42
Jake Magee was cut loose in my competitive 15 teamer. How many saves does he get the rest of the way?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:43
~10, half the team's Saves
Pitching Pennies
7:43
Drop Manoah for any of these ROS in 5x5?  Skubal, McClanahan, Minor, Marquez, Heaney, Stripling, S. Long
Jeff Zimmerman
7:44
As of right now, I like Stripling more ROS
Baseball Yeti
7:44
Would you drop Taillon for Bundy, Keuchel or Kim (QS league)?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:45
I dug into Bundy during FAAB this week and I didn't know how bad he's been.
As for the question, I'd drop for Keuchel
John Olerud’s Helmet

Dear Mr Zimmerman, How are you? Thank you for your weekly chats they are always greatly appreciated. How much more valuable does Yordan Alvarez become next year now that he’ll be OF eligible to start the season in most leagues? Love, John Oleruds Helmet
Jeff Zimmerman
7:50
Sorry for the confusion. First on Alvarez's value: His value should jump ~$3 in auction value, so maybe a round.
7:51
I think his health will impact his value more. If he can stay on the field, he might be a 2nd to 3rd rounder.
JuanGOATo
7:51
It is sometimes tempting to just go to baseballsavant, look at statcast numbers, and rely entirely on them when it comes to evaluating hitters. Obviously, proper analysis requires more than that. What are some tools you use to decide how well a particular players expected stats are likely to predict their future performance. E.g. guys that can't adjust to the shift seem to have perennially overinflated expected #s.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:52
Does the hitter have good plate discipline (not Jo Adell) and can the batter hit the ball hard and in the air? If they can do them all, roster away.
7:53
Focus on good hitters.
Injured Mondesi
7:53
I hate myself for drafting A. Mondesi on a team. Just wanted to complain. Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:54
I have him in a semi-high stakes league and it's driving me nuts. I could have gone so many other directions in the 2nd round
Baseball Yeti
7:54
Gonsolin seems to be going backwards in terms of getting stretched out. Are you trying to hold him in 12-team? Or open to streaming the spot
Jeff Zimmerman
7:54
I'm trying to hold, but losing patience
7:55
He's a mess. I'm giving him to the ASG and then looking to move on.
Bd
7:55
Dallas keuchel is on the waiver wire. Im streaming skubal, cease, and mike minor. Should i drop one  of them, losing the k’s, for a more stable keuchel?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:55
I would just stream the best three.
