Jeff Zimmerman
7:30
Good evening.
7:31
First, here are the winning bids in the two 15-team Tout Wars leagues.
7:32
As always, I'm going to try to get to all the FAAB and waiver questions before I get to any trade and prospect questions.
JSayer
7:32
Any interest in Maximo Castillo? Deep leagues for sure but looked decent in relief, fanning 7 in 4 innings of relief and might get a start this week
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
Not yet but it wouldn't take much in the current starting pitcher landscape
WD40
7:33
Good Evening Jeff.  Need to pick up a SP in an NL 4x4.  Would you please rank ROS:  J. Alexander, P. Espino, A. Pallante, & D. Peterson.  Much obliged!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:34
I haven't even dug this deep. Peterson is the easy #1. Probably Alexander, Espino, and finally Pallante.
AB
7:34
any general thoughts on Josh smith? 10 team AL only, waivers pretty dry, 3b/ss eligible. Duran sent down, leading off, lotta talent, seems more than worth a flyer?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
He'll be added in all formats where Duran was rostered.
It's add him this week in those leagues or miss out.
Vader
7:36
will jj abrams get enuf at bats to be worthwhile ros in h2h?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
I doubt it or be able to hit the ball with authority.
Royals
7:37
Hi Jeff. Seems like your high on Olivares. Him or Dozier (obp league)? I'm worried Olivares might be in a platoon, though I like the skills.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:37
Oliveras easy over Dozier. 20/20 don't show up on the wire every week.
Percy Miracles
7:38
Hi Jeff, in a 14 team OBP and Total bases dynasty league where I’m in 5th who would you drop to bring Wander off the IL, all $ similar and position doesn’t matter: Carlson, Olivares, McCutchen, Naylor, Flores, Espinal, Y Gurriel, Morel?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:38
Naylor (might be in a platoon), Gurriel (struggling), Flores (might not play all the time in SF)
Kyle
7:38
Noah Syndergaard, Paul Blackburn, Mitch White, Jon Heasley ROS for some one last in strikeouts. You the man Jeff. You're bit on White today has me excited.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
This is ROS, not next few starts.   Thor, Blackburn, Heasley, White. I could see White bounce around from the bullpen to starting
KNOTinBBCRL
7:40
Is Matt Vierling now a decent OF play with Harper having a serious ouchie?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
He and Herrera should now have full-time at-bats which makes them viable in some deeper formats.
D Mountain
7:41
Rich Hill is getting wins and looking ugly doing it. Trust him @CHC or pick a waiver guy (Heasely, Kremer) or rp? Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:41
Stick with Hill compared to those options.
The Alou Named Matty
7:41
more useful in OBP league with 16 MLB teams to draw from, ROS: Josh Smith, Lenyn Sosa, Gerardo Perdomo? Any of them likely to have a starting job next year?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
I'd go with Smith. He might not be at 3B. He was being used in the outfield in AAA
T-Mac
7:42
How deep a league should I be in to start Tristan MacKenzie v Twins? I like his arm, but they hit a bunch on homers off him last week.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
10 teamer. It comes down to the other options.
Saves Hunter
7:42
Is it worth hunting down saves with Hunter Strickland or is he just another Cincy BP Flavor-of-the-Week?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:43
I'd stay away.
7:44
For those after saves. John Schreiber (BOS) will get some run as closer with Houck not going to Toronto. Also, Trevino looks to be the closer in Oakland. It's it for closers.
Bruce in 2023
7:44
Going to attempt to add Edward Olivares off of waivers & drop a P.  But,with O’Neill coming back this week I would need to drop a bat : S.Espinal, J.Turner, Luis Garcia, H.Bader, ? Deep mixed roto
Jeff Zimmerman
7:45
Probably Espinal
Greg
7:45
Does moving to lead off make Josh Smith viable in a 12 team mixed roto league? Would you take him or Alek Thomas
Jeff Zimmerman
7:45
Thomas for sure over Smith.
One sec on Smith in 12 teams.
7:47
In the NFBC 12 team leagues (OC), Duran was 86% rostered before getting demoted. I expect Smith will end up with a similar roster%
Vader
7:47
scale of 1-10, how would you prioritize grabbing Bello in h2h league, keep for next year
Jeff Zimmerman
7:47
1
Roster construction
7:47
At one point is the roster spot more important than the value? (Ie, taking a middle infielder I like less just to clear room)? (Sorry for the half question)
Jeff Zimmerman
7:49
This is tough and is set by your gut, but the key for me is to never (99% of the time) take a zero. Not getting stats is a killer
