Did Daulton Jeffries impress you today?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:58
I watched the start and he had no swing-and-miss. I'd keep him on the wire
EH
7:58
Think Jordan Hicks will do anything as a starter? I worry he won’t throw many innings.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:58
Or get hurt right way. For me, he's on the bench and I'll evaluate after his start.

Brandon Marsh seems like a part time player, and I could use another SP. Would you drop him for Eflin, Flexen or Tucker Davidson? Or will Marsh blossom and change Maddon’s mind?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:59
Maddon said Marsh is in a platoon with Adell. Drop for Eflin
Steve
7:59
Detmers (LAA) or H Greene (CIN) - redraft
Jeff Zimmerman
7:59
Greene
Steven Kwan is better than Babe Ruth
7:59
How soon until McKenzie Gore is up? You think the Snell injury will accelerate his timeline?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:00
The injury might speed it up, but otherwise, no idea
Wang Dang Doodle
8:00
Kike Hernandez in danger of losing his leadoff, or even his starting role?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:01
After one bad weekend. It'll take at least two weeks before there is a change
Brew Crew
8:01
Aaron Ashby was my sleeper RP this year in the hopes he eventually gets some run as SP.  What do you think?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:01
We'll see. Maybe
OBP/S+H
8:01
High-upside gamble: Mateo over Stott?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:01
I can get behind that
San Diego Chicken
8:01
I was so mad when the Padres traded for Rogers just before the season.  I drafted Pierce Johnson as my dark horse saves guy.  Any chance he sees some play there, or is it all Rogers?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:02
The team has come out and said it's Rogers. Move on.
Free ReyLo
8:02
Tony La Russa today said Reynaldo Lopez will stay in the bullpen until Joe Kelly returns. Does he have enough value as a reliever to wait this out or would you grab someone like K. Wright, Steele or M. Kelly?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:03
Don't wait out for now, but Lopez will be useful (even out of the bullpen) once the good and bad starters have sorted things out.
Steve
8:03
Name a dark horse SP I can add, there’s practically no one left on the waiver wire but what do I know. For reference, 16 team keeper league
Jeff Zimmerman
8:03
Brad Keller?
Steven

Our 10 team league switched to FAAB for the first time this season ($1000 budget with $0 bids) and I think we're all feeling out the cost for players. Most are going for $0-$5 but Connor Joe went for $28 last night, so it's starting to get interesting. Any general tips for a FAAB league?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:05
Keep the bids under 5% until a trend is found, but don't be afraid to do the 5% if the player is a major upgrade. Just a handful of those players come around during a season
Mike
8:05
Jorge Mateo o/u steals 25 ?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:05
under
flarble
8:06
Who do you think is the most widely dropped player after two months who was drafted in the top 10 rounds
Jeff Zimmerman
8:06
Besides injuries, Tommy Edman
Nick
8:06
In a 12 tm points league, Kwan over Dom Smith or Connor Joe (-.5 for Ks)?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:06
Yes
Funkadelic
8:07
Any “late round flier” types that people might have already given up on that you’d suggest snagging? For example, Kirilloff just became available in my 12 team, 2 keeper H2H cat league.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
What, yes add him.
Most of the time, it's not a universal drop but one-offs for a league. Always check the previous weeks drops
Guest
8:08
Do you like Lucas Sims and/or Tanner Rainey?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:08
No, it's not even close
the catman
8:08
ARe there any advantages/disadvantages switching from $100 to $1000 budget?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:09
I think $100 is fine if there are $0 bids. If going to $1000, get rid of the $0 bids. The issue with $100 budget is that teams are limited to 100 moves during the season or 4 per week at only $1
Scott TINSTAAPP
8:09
How much do you tend to spend in weeks you identify as not big weeks (i.e. weeks without a major target or need)? $1000 FAAB NFBC context
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
I tried to keep $20 per week for streaming during the year (~$500 total) and then the other half for improvements. If there is no one, I'll go under the $20 and use it later.
I'm kind of a stickler on the $20, but it comes in great over the last month since everyone needed to win can usually be added.
