Sunday Night Waiver Wire & FAAB Chat
powered byJotCast
Jeff Zimmerman
7:30
Welcome everyone.
7:31
Here are tonight's bids from the two mixed 15-team Tout Wars leagues
7:32
There was some heavy bidding on Coco Montes in the NL-only league
Jim
7:32
How much to bid on Gunnar Henderson in a 12 tm league?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
20% ... it might come down to a few managers needing help at 3B
Marvin
7:33
Cowser coming soon? Thanks for chat!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:34
I have no clue on promotions. None. Ask someone with the team or someone who follows prospects
Oyster Burns
7:34
Thanks for chatting! Need a yordan replacement for h2h obp avg and tb league. K carpenter, mccutchen, raley, Prato, rooker, McNeil, noda, Hayes, arcia all available. Anyone stand out for you?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
The first two (Carp and Mcc). I like Pratto also.
Max Del Rey
7:35
Do you believe in the Jose Abreu redemption tour? Or do you prefer waiver-type options such as Vargas, Pratto, or Noda?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
I wouldn't for Vargas, Pratto is close, and for sure with Noda.
RAGBRAI
7:36
Thoughts on Coco Montes? Worth an add for ROS in NL only?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
I missed his callup and home run. Let me take a quick look.
7:38
He's missing elite power but is above average in BB%, K%, GB%, and ISO. He's interesting but I'm not sure of the playing time.

7:39
My confidence in Patrick Sandoval is fading. Should I give him another start (v KC)?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:39
I dropped him in all leagues a few weeks ago. Middle relievers provide more than him.
Cesar Geronimo
7:39
Is Nolan Jones for real?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
Looks that way and the Rockies are playing him
James
7:40
Hi Jeff. Are u holding Fried in an 18 teamer? Also I need one of these. Please rank K Crawford / Barria / Woo   Thanks!!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:41
Maybe. I found I was upgrading several of my hurt guys for other hurt guys on the wire who are returning sooner (ex. Alex Wood and Trevor Rogers)
Chris
7:41
Why do the projection systems think Tanner Houck is a ~4 era  pitcher RoS when his xFIP this year and last year were around 3.6?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
Without looking into the exact details, projections breakdown when a pitcher is going between starting and relieving.
quadrangular
7:42
In a 5x5 OBP league, how much would I regret dropping Rowdy Tellez for Josh Naylor?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:43
No ... Tellez might be streamable in 12-teamers. Also, Alonso managers will be looking for a replacement
Bill
7:44
Do you expect Maeda to replace Varland in MIN rotation?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:44
No but it could happen. I don't think Maeda is a better pitcher than Varland
Guest
7:45
Thanks as always, Jeff. I need power. How much of my $390 remaining (of 1000) should I bid for Elly de la Cruz? (no $0 bids but option to pick up unclaimed players morning after waivers)
Jeff Zimmerman
7:45
One key is who has the hammer and how much does the second person have?
7:46
If you go 330, you give yourself around four $1 bids per week for the rest of the season
Jordan
7:46
Thaiss or Wong ROS?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:46
I'd lean Wong
jamield
7:47
Where does Bryce Miller end up?  Surely better than his last two starts.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:48
Miller has an issue I've been trying to prove with no luck ... pitchers can't rely on their fastball over 50% of the time. Miller is 69%. Bryan Woo is at 81%
7:49
Hitters know what is coming and can hit certain velo's. Or the team can put guys in who can.
Johnny5Alive

In your ww report, so seem to see some risk in  Abbott, but he's obviously the hot name this week. How much faab in an only league and is he an upgrade over Edward Cabrera or Jordan Montgomery?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:51
People will disagree with me, but I have him under middle relievers and would just put in a min bid to see if he can be productive. I'd hold Cabrera and Monty. There is a ton of hype with Abbot, but he's not someone I'm going to spend any precious resources on.

Jeff Zimmerman

That's it
