Sunday Night Waiver Wire & FAAB Chat

Sorry about missing last week.

Here are the Tout Wars winning bids for the two 15-team mixed leagues.

You sure Roansy has two starts? Razzball thinks so, but Yahoo! doesn’t. Im fighting for first in both innings and saves, and either starting him or Fairbanks depending on how I project his innings. Yikes.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:32

It looks like just one start according to Rotowire

Down to the (Waiver) Wire!

7:33

Hey! Thanks for still coming out for these. They've been very helpful.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:33

You are welcome

Sampson

7:33

Looks like Adrian Sampson wins the Monday-Saturday Cubs lottery this week. Interested in points H2H over Webb @ COL? Montgomery @ LAD? Or Fool's Gold?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:34

Maybe, they might be 6-man with Wesneski and Assad. Also, it seems like Miley is scheduled for tomorrow.

Down to the (Waiver) Wire!

7:34

Oswaldo Cabrera or Sam Haggerty? OBP most important, speed #2. Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman

7:35

Since you don't need any of the counting stats, Haggerty

Lane

7:35

Are there any teams with a lot more games or less games than average this week?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:35

All between six and eight. ARI and LAD have the eight

Win Vulture

7:36

Wins obviously crucial right now. Do you think Hunter Brown has a chance to vulture some from the pen? Or am I better off with a less good arm that's starting (Voth, Bello, Joey "Real Player" Wentz)?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:36

You have to move on from Brown if needing Wins. Go with one of the others. Voth would be my choice

Olivares

7:37

Olivares is back, baby! Where would he rank in your ww list? OBP league. I assume he's ahead of Myles Straw (who is suddenly getting on base again)?

(Roster Resource thinks he's a platoon bat, though he played vs. a righty today)

Jeff Zimmerman

7:38

I'm not sold on Olivares but might be a must roster for those needing speed in deeper leagues.

Wicks Cherrycoke

7:38

Anything to Miles Straw’s better play recently. Looking for some SBs this week and Berti hasn’t been great lately. Just lost O’Neill.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:40

Straw has a .373 BABIP in Sept, so the options to steal have popped up. Has just a .034 ISO this month. Even with the extra times on base, he only has 2 SB this month.

vaughn Grissom or O’Neil Cruz for just this week? Points league

Jeff Zimmerman

7:40

Grissom

Percy Miracles

7:40

Hi Jeff, would you load up on Rockies this week at home? Villar move up your board with 4 games in COL?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:42

It's tough to go all in with Rockies since their playing time is all over the place. I'm not sold on Villar

Matt L

7:42

Cutting Willson Contreras in an OC? Took the zero last week unfortunately. Only have $3 FAAB left, best options are; Diaz (COL), Grandal, Narvaez, or Trevino (DTD)

Jeff Zimmerman

7:43

Diaz for sure ... on the sneaky side. Matt Thaiss should be catcher qualified after today's game.

Wong in Boston is a decent option with Pawlecki getting demoted.

Streamer

7:43

Bello got a decent bid in your league, but @CIN and then NYY seems scary. Him or Voth (DET), Wentz (@BAL), or Cody Morris (@TEX) for the week? (FWIW, I could sit Bello vs. NYY)

Jeff Zimmerman

7:44

I like Voth and Wentz more. Also, Wentz might line up for two starts the next week.

Rennie Stennett

7:44

Darvish is rolling but he's at COL next weekend. Would you roll with Yu or go with Stroman or even Wesneski @ Pittsburgh instead? 14 team points league- weekly lock. Thanks for doing these chats Jeff!

Jeff Zimmerman

7:45

In a points league, I'd start in COL

Farmer Ted (not a farmer)

7:45

this is for Lane: https://baseballmonster.com/ScheduleGrid.aspx

Jeff Zimmerman

7:45

Thanks Ted

Carlos

7:46

Jeff, thanks for the playoff advice - best pts league OF pick up for this wk? Carlson, Aquino, Friedl, Daza, Grossman, Myers, Grisham, D. Peralta, H. Ramirez.....

Jeff Zimmerman

7:46

Points ... Daza or Ramirez

yinyang

7:46

Thanks, Jeff! Should I start Andrus in my 5×5 (OBP) weekly H2H playoff match up? Anderson seems likely to return this week so I'm worried about Andrus' playing time. Waiver wire options are Stott, Urshela, & Farmer.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:46

I'd probably go with Urshela or Farmer

Lying Lyles

7:47

How desperate do I need to be to start Jordan Lyles vs. Detroit this week?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:47

I will be starting him in several draft-and-holds

Kyle

7:47

Would you be holding onto Stanton at this point? Favorable schedule but has shown practically nothing since coming off IL
