Welcome
As usual, I'm going to focus on FAAB and waiver wire questions.
Here are the winning bids from the two Tout Wars mixed 15-team mixed leagues.

Who’s your top pitcher to pickup on the waiver wire?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
Here is an entire article of my pickups ranked: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/waiver-wire-report-week-2/
Scott

Who to drop between ober, heaney and kikuchi.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
Kikuchi, he seems off
Angels in Outfield

Ward batting cleanup and playing everyday.  Why? What am I missing?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:34
Because Joe Maddon loves him and has been saying so for a month. Not a surprise at all.
Bryan
7:34
Thoughts on Adres Munoz in Holds leagues?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:34
I think you could do worse. I'd watch his usage going forward
Nils

Conforto. Have him on a 5x5 mixed 16 team keeper. He's taking up a roster spot and I'm debating dropping him for waiver wire help but the lack of news on him is making it hard to determine course of action. What would you do ?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
I'd move on. I bet he has a showcase and then it'd be worth adding him.
Hill

Gore is available in a number of 12s. Is he here to stay? How much FAAB. Does he take Martinez’s spot if snell recovers?  With gore out there how much can I sneak Wright or Ashby or Kelly for?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
It'll take 10% at least to get Gore and I'm not sure if he stays. I think he's the only starter with options.
7:37
Wright may take more than Gore ... maybe. The others are 2% guys at the most ... at least for me.
Hot Rod

15 team weekly lineup/faab, no IP limit, need a solid 6/7th SP. Order and bid prices (1K budget): Blackburn, Lorenzen, Steele, Fedde, B Zimmerman?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:38
I ranked all but Zim in my WW article: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/waiver-wire-report-week-2/
As for bids, 2% to 3%

12 team AL only 5x5 keeper league using 100 FAAB. Owen Miller is available. No way he keeps this up but he shouldn't have too much trouble getting pt unless he goes cold turkey. How much FAAB is he worth throwing at? Was thinking 7-10 but wonder if that's too much of an overpay. I'd likely bench either Odor or Kevin Smith for him.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
In an AL only, I think 10% is fine. I'd not be surprised if he went for 3x that
SL
7:40
How long of a leash are we giving Josh Lowe or Julio Rodriguez in redraft leagues?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
I don't have to make the call, but I'd start looking for replacements if the teams demote them.

Do you think Zack Collins could become the starting catcher for the Jays?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:41
No
Jake

Is Taylor Ward worth a look in 12 team OBP leagues? alternatives are grichuk, santander, mercado, and seth brown
Jeff Zimmerman
7:41
Santander IMO
Trent

Hi Jeff! Trying to sort through my pitching options in a points league. Right now the spot I usually use for streaming is occupied by Gore, do you think his debut made him worth holding onto?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
I'd hold this week to see what are the Padres plans
JG
7:42
would you drp Mitch Keller for Smyly or Fedde?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
Yes. I got rid of my Keller last week.
Dave

Jeff, thanks for doing these. If Flaherty is available in 15 mixed NFBC, do you think he's worth a stash? We also have Ryu, would you prefer to stash Flaherty over Ryu? If so, how much do you think you'd bid?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:43
I would not hold both and would hold Ryu for another week. His timeline needs to be cleared up.
Riceroni

Need MI/OF 5x5 roto 15 team league. Rank these guys and an approx bid: T. Estrada, T. Ward, B. Gamel, Naylor, K. Farmer, R. Urias, Y. Hernandez?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:44
Same order by swap Urias and Naylor.
Jake
7:44
How early is too early to add Ramon Laureano before his suspension is over?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:45
That comes down to team construction, but if you have room, go for it. One thing if you add early and cheap, it's not a waste of FAAB if you have to drop him later.
Jeff
7:46
Should I hold onto Jordan Hicks for now?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:46
Yes, this is dragging out forever
