Jeff Zimmerman
7:31
Welcome
7:32
No FAAB reports from Tout Wars because they run mid-week.
As usual, I will answer all FAAB and Waiver Wire questions first.
Adam
7:32
What do we make of Mackenzie Gore given the abundance of starting pitchers in San Diego?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
I liked his chances until the Manaea trade. He's going have to wait his turn a bit longer.
Greg
7:33
Bender still has a shot at closing in MIA? Perhaps they traded for depth?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
I have no idea what is going to happen here. I think they might just try to get a lead and then turn a game into a bullpen game. I'm holding Sulser and Bender in most leagues and see how this first 10 days play out.

Drop Castillo for Severino? Bid amount?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
That's a shallow league.
7:36
I would do it, but not spend a ton because it's not much of an upgrade. If at all.
Who would you rather roster?
Luis Castillo (72.8% | 67 votes)
 
Luis Severino (27.2% | 25 votes)

How much would you bid on Sean Manaea in a NL only league, $100 budget.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:38
This is like the trade deadline talent but at the beginning of the season. 50% or more.
Bobby
7:38
Brujan....drafted him late in alot of NFBC OC leagues....is he droppable now?  Or is he worth the hold as we expect.him up.somewhat soon?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:38
I'd drop right now in an OC. Add someone who is playing.
Rennie Stennett
7:38
Tough cuts to make in dynasty  h2h points format - need to part with 2 of Sixto Sanchez, Adolis Garcia, Austin Hays, Brujan. Which 2 get the boot and why?  Thanks Jeff
Jeff Zimmerman
7:39
Hays - profile is replaceable. Brujan - not playing and not a much upside.

How do we feel about Jorge Mateo's production this year? Worthy of a roster spot in a 15 team league?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
For sure in a 15 and possibly in a 12 if a team needs steals. He might end up as a nice bench bat with OF-SS elligibility.
Hill
7:40
How mich for Grickic in OC? Kwan? Brash?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
I'm not a huge Grichuk fan and would min bid him. I'm not sure the playing time is there to make him a must add. Kwan is probably a 1% guy in an OK.
7:43
Now with Brash. I think he could go from 3% to 15% of a budget. Some people love him and others are indifferent.

  1. Who closes for Baltimore? 2. Do we even want to roster Baltimore's closer?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:44
I like Lopez (up 2.5 mph this year) and depending on the league depth, yes the 25 Saves from Balt will be in play
High on B Lowe
7:45
Brandon Lowe feels super underrated to me…is it just because he’s a Ray?  Even the projections have him for 35-40 HR 5-7 SB, .255 avg 180 R/RBI…and that’s assuming his K rate improvements that led to a .270+ average after his rough April/may don’t fully stick.  Aren’t we basically just talking about a 5’11’’ Matt Olson?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:45
IMO, he's fine where he's going. He is comparable to Olson, but I think Olson is going way too early.
Phil
7:46
Who close in Baltimore with the last minute deal of Sulser to Marlins?  Also, what happens for the Marlins as well for saves??
Jeff Zimmerman
7:46
I've answered the Baltimore part but I don't have a clue what Miami will do. None.
Bud
7:46
If you knew they were getting the same playing time, would you prefer Jeremy Peña over Bryson Stott?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:47
Pena and he's already getting the time.
Pirate Pete
7:47
How long do I need to wait to see Cruz ONeil in action???
Jeff Zimmerman
7:48
It'd be the 3 weeks (he has some MLB time) and then drop. I might even drop him right now. I think PIT will at least wait until after Super 2 to promote him.
Starting Pitching
7:48
I was able to land a combo of Max/Cole as my pocket aces.  How do you feel about adding Brash/Detmers/Greene at the tail end???
Jeff Zimmerman
7:49
It depends are who you are adding in between. I'd prefer Brash to be my first bench option.
David
7:49
15 team 5x5 where I whiffed on 3B. Aside from Stott there’s no one else. How high should I go on Bryson Stott?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:50
First check for Ibanez (TEX) at 3B and AZ plans.
7:51
As for Stott, he might start in the minors (afsik) so he might not even solve the problem.
Depth
7:51
I feel 1B is pretty deep, and not a lot of difference when you get to the middle of the pack - do you agree?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:52
Yes and no. There is a drop around pick 180 where there is no one after them. No one. It's around Aguilar. Get 1B and CI before then
Sea Dog
7:52
Kelenic - expectations for 2022???  I own him in a keeper league, and hoping for a big jump from last year
