Add any Rockie starter. They are going to light up the Cards on the weekend.
Pitcher
8:05
Caleb Smith is a potential two start guy this week. Feelings on him? I remember some terrible H/A splits in Miami.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:06
I may end up using him. He's in some of my bid groups. It's not the week's worst two-starts.
Happy Days
8:07
Is it cool to cut Ian Happ even though he is 100% owned in my 15tm league?  would rather roll the dice on one of these young pitchers and go with a shallower bench.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:08
It's time to cut. The 100% number makes it hard in 15's. One rule I use in them, is to see if the player is being dropped in 12's.
8:09
He's 87% owned in 12's

Can’t believe I let you talk me out of Z Thompson during last week’s chat (you dismissed him as a “3 IP starter.”  I guess I should have kept in mind that when you’re right 51% of the time, you’re wrong 49
Jeff Zimmerman
8:10
My bad

In reference to your Torrens rec: Don't necessarily need a catcher as I have Jeffers so would you drop Rengifo for Trammell (wonder if he is odd man out when Kelenic gets recalled or bought himself more time after today), Gosselin, Eli White or Zach Collins.....or sit this week out and wait to see if anyone gets traded from the NL (Eduardo Escobar?)? I only have $22 of 100 FAAB left.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:10
I might just sit tight
Bryan
8:10
OBP league - I was offered Schwarber for Eflin. I have O'Niell, Winker and Reyes. Do I take the trade? I am fairly deep at SP
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
The trade is fair, it really comes down to team needs
Matan
8:11
Is Kirilloff worth a pick up? Concerned about playing time. Thanks for doing this every weekend!
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
You're welcome
8:12
Kiriloff was playing a decent amount. I'd hold
Biff
8:12
Rank these OF on ability to impact fantasy playoffs...Kelenic, Kiriloff, Adell, Duran...
Jeff Zimmerman
8:12
Kiriloff, Kelenic, Duran, .....Adell
BDubs
8:13
Drop any of these for ZThompson?: JLopez, Stripling, Morton, Urquidy, Bassitt, Musgrove, Urias.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
No
Desperate for Saves
8:13
Lucas Sims worth holding onto?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
Yes
Greg
8:13
Would Lars Nootbar have ranked highly in your Waiver article? Like him over Jake Bauers?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:14
I don't think so, I don't have a good read on Nootbar
Soroka
8:14
20 team dynasty, I'm contending this year.  Does Mike Soroka have much value with the latest Achilles injury?  He's still just 23, so I'd think he would be comparable to a 50 FV pitching prospect, but maybe a repeated non-arm injury is enough to drop him if I need the spot?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:15
Trade him for someone out of the race for even a boring old bat like Upton
Or a non-keeper closer
Clark Olson
8:15
What are your thoughts on Eli White for an NFBC ME?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:16
He's been playing a ton, but has been shitty. Where I need an OF, he's sitting at the bottom of those bid groups
Jason
8:17
Thoughts on Charlie Blackmon ROS in a 12 team roto league? Still lots of summer days at Coors left but I'm tempted to test his trade value
Jeff Zimmerman
8:17
Go for a trade, but maybe wait to see if he goes off this week at home.
Jason
8:17
Do you prefer A. Rosario or Polanco in 12 team roto league?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:17
Both.
8:18
Twins Polanco
Pickle Rick
8:18
Hey Jeff, what do you look at when deciding which pitchers to stream? I’ve been kind of hit or miss on streamers so far.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:18
You don't want to ask me, I throw everyone out there.
8:19
I just try to hoard Wins and K's now and can work on ratios later with MR.
8:20
As long as they have one favorable start they make the cut
KCBbq
8:20
Thanks so much for doing these weekly chats. Great to bounce ideas off you.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:20
No problem
Trolling for Saves
8:20
Best chance to take closer job, Fairbanks, Barlow, Sulser.
