Over-reliance on the sinker with a subpar defense behind him.
2 start pitchers
8:05
I don't usually even believe it unless the start is Monday. So many pushbacks after lineups lock.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:06
We looked at the season's results and a Saturday start happens 60% of the time and I think Sunday is 40%
Mike
8:06
How do you prioritize 5x5 leagues where both Ks and ratios are very close? Would you roll with a 2-start option like Archer who hasn't been pitching particularly well over a 1-start option like Jose Suarez with a good matchup?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
I'd probably go with Suarez. I know where you are coming from. There are just no 2-start options on the wire.

Similar question, what is wrong with Giolito and is he droppable in a redraft league?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
Velocity is the issue with Giolito:
2 start pitchers
8:08
Really? I'm making the Home Alone/The Scream face right now. Ye gods. I have to bump Quintana and Steele down my list.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:08
It's somewhere in the The Process. Tanner did the research
Three Bee
8:09
Drop Bohm for Chapman? Diaz?  Points head to head with a mild 0.5 K penalty (CBS style).  Bohm has cooled off, and I never really believed in him all that much, but he still hits 3rd between Hoskins and Harper every day.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:09
For Yandy in points.
Contreras the Elder
8:09
Do I have to drop this dude in my weekly H2H leagues? (Please tell me no.) Why can't they just tell us if people are gonna play? I am gonna end up dropping my worst SP (McCullers/Destroyer of WHIPs) for a backup C because dropping Contreras Sr. feels insane and likely to help my opponents. But I need a catcher who plays and time is short. Please advise!
Jeff Zimmerman
8:10
I'm dealing with the same issue. I'd drop the starter. With teams being eliminated, hopefully there more WW options

In battle for 2nd Place ... Similar gap between RUN / RBI as WIN / K's ... slim Waiver Wire ... Best chance to accumulate needs -- 2B Wong or OF Fraley, OR, SP Marco Gonzales (2-start this week)?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
I like Fraley
Nils
8:11
5x5, 16 team, mixed - Have Solano but debating to try and swap him for Friedl or Fraley.. I have AVG in the bag and was thinking of adding speed and or/pop .. reasonable thought here or keep Solano as he might get more ab's than the other two ?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
Try to get all your Reds. They have nine games in two weeks
Kallus

Better 5x5 dynasty keeper: Nootbar or Kwan.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:12
Nootbaar
PA

Any confidence in Hader this week or go with Tanner Scott or Herget instead?  Thanks.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:12
I have no confidence, but I might have to use him depending on how FAAB goes.
John
8:13
Is it time to move on from Taylor ward and Reid detmers or hold for a hot steak. Thank you
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
For who?
Frank Thomas the Tank Engine
8:13
Need 2 more saves — which TB guys after Adams and Fairbanks are best bet?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:14
Raley and Poche. You might be able to go in the Boston bullpen with Schriber (sp?)
Schreiber
Ben
8:14
Drury or Hiura ROS?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:14
ROS, Drury. This week, go all in with Hiura
8:15
I'm playing each team to just win the weak with just a month left
Guest
8:15
Hader dropped in my holds/save league. Worth a shot?? Two weeks until our playoffs
Jeff Zimmerman
8:15
Yes if you can bench
Larry Potter
8:16
Do you like Trevor Rogers at Philly this week?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:16
Not really, but he has two starts the next week vs TEX and vs WAS
Steve in NYC
8:17
In 15 tm NFBC, pls rank for FAAB pick up:  N Gordon, Steer, Toglia, G Cooper, and Bouchard.  Thx
Jeff Zimmerman
8:17
Gordon, Steer, Toglia, Cooper, Bouchard
Gary
8:18
Do you prefer Grichuk (COL - 6 home gms this week), M.Taylor (KC), Pollock for ROS?   Maybe stream Grichuk?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:18
Stream Grichuk and then stream Reds next week
Jg
8:18

Jeff Zimmerman
