Welcome.
There are no Tout Wars FAAB bids. The leagues run their FAAB on Wednesday night.
Hicks/Gallegos
7:31
At what point do you think it’s worth stashing Gallegos or other set up men who you think will benefit from their closers being traded?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
Previously I've looked at the who in the MLBTR top-50 trade targets get traded and the first two rounds are at or over 50%: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/07/top-50-deadline-trade-candidate...
I'd focus on those players for stashes coming up.

Hey Jeff, I'm curious on your approach regarding stashing
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
I usually don't unless a rookie falls in the draft. After that point, I might add an injured player a week or two out.
7:37
It comes down to how I manage my teams. I stream pitchers from my bench and only have a couple of bench bats for injuries. I just don't have room for stashes with unknown timetables.
Schmidt Happen

If you were position agnostic, which minor league hitter (other than Encarnacion-=Strand) would you stash going into the break?   Assume a roto, redraft, OBP league and a focus on overall value (ie ignore the potential that a team might need help in a specific category).
Jeff Zimmerman
7:38
Ask someone who covers the minors, it's just not my lane.
David

What’s your assessment of Moustakas?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:38
I don't care about him. At best, he's a streamer in the deepest of leagues.

12 team AL only 5x5 H2H keeper league using OBP. Have my choice of $11 Jarren Duran or $19 Riley Greene. Who puts up better #s ros and who's the better 2024 keeper? Concern with Duran is will he still be on strong side of platoon or everyday player this year.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:39
Greene and it is not close
Ricky L
7:39
Hey boss, in a redraft league, how would you prioritize meneses, Lars, Dana myers? Thanks for always doing this!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:39
Lars, Meneses, Myers
Rodney Feld
7:39
is Christopher Sanchez a must roster in deep mixed leagues at this point?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
Yep, said so in my waiver wire article

Hey Jeff, I'm curious about your thoughts on stashing injured players at this point in the season in leagues where you don't have IL spots. I'm inclined to think you cut anyone missing a few weeks aside from star players, at least in 10/12 team leagues. For example, I'm leaning towards cutting Thairo Estrada who looks set to miss another 3-5 weeks. Is this the type of player you are comfortable cutting, or are you inclined to stash?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:41
It comes down to league depth, but I'm cutting Estrada in several leagues. Missing a month is tough and he might be unproductive when he returns
G Money
7:41
I picked up Christopher Sanchez last week for nothing, thank you for your advice on him. You seem to really be high on him, do you feel he can stick in the rotation the rest of the way?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
The only complaint so far is that he has faced weak opponents but he keeps shoving
Guest
7:42
Will Cowser get enough PT to matter?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:43
Not sure. I'm treating him as a streamer. Projections have Coswer and Colas almost the same.
Dan
7:43
Mike Trout’s been a long-term keeper of mine in a 14 teaser. My team’s headed for a rebuild. Depending on the success of yet another rehab, will Trout have any value to a team in my league making a playoff run, or should I try to move him in the off season? Thanks Jeff. Enjoy the A-S game…if you tune in!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:44
I think you try to move him this offseason.
2b or not to be
7:44
Had altuve at second. Obviously injured. Have Gorman on the bench, would, you roll with Gorman (5x5) or pick up b. Lowe/Mckintsty/Julian and drop Pham or Julks?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:45
Roll with Gorman or drop Gorman for one of those three
Meltman
7:45
Our wire's starters are really picked clean. What kind of middle relievers interest you lately?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:46
There was a bunch but I didn't look this week. It's just too tough to know coming out of the break. I'm adding guys behind trade candidates like the guys with KC and NYM.
Jason
7:47
Lost E Ruiz to injury. Should I grab Mccarthy from Ariz and drop Gurriel. Not much else out there for SB. H2H Yahoo league. Thanks and enjoy the all star break! Jason
Jeff Zimmerman
7:47
Stolen bases are rough right now. Isbel and Waters are a little interesting in KC
KCbbq
7:48
Dropped Lynn last week. Would you drop Reese Olson $2 in a 12 team AL only 5x5 H2H to pick up Lance Lynn or Bryan Abreu? Lynn has been Jekyl and Hyde. How much FAAB if one has $17 of 100 left for Lynn? My SPs are Gausman, Ryan, Jon Gray, Tyler Wells and Gilbert.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:48
I'd hold Olson.
TriplesAlley
7:49
12 tm dynasty. Do you consider Ben Lively a bench streamer or droppable? Deciding who to drop between him, Wood, Lorenzen, Canning… or none and drop a hitter
Jeff Zimmerman
7:49
I'd consider Wood and Lively the same talent. Roster the one with the better matchup.
Maris9
7:49
Any thoughts on Nick Pratto -- semi breakout perhaps?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:50
I don't buy a breakout but the playing time has been nice.
Guest

What is torks value in 4x4? I have him he’s ok getting some weak offers feel like holding is better but I can’t get a read on the kid
