Who are the replacements?

Total power and rbi outage for Rizzo for quite a while now. Dump him for Votto or G Cooper in 5x5 with obp instead of avg?  Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:50
Votto for sure.
kuff6
7:51
you didn’t seem very interested in Dane Myers.  Why no love? Seemingly playing every day and off to a hot start, and homered again today.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:51
I'm not sure how long he has the job and the profile is suspect.

ROS question: Is Vierling a quality guy or is he just having a good time right now?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:52
Vierling has skills (lollipop darling) but has put them all together.
Greg
7:52
Are you still high on Skubal? How much would you bid in 15 team NFBC?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:54
If eligible, he would have been at the top of my WW ranks. I stashed him in three leagues where he was drafted. I'd not be surprised if some teams go $100 or more on him. He might be the best starter to come on the market this year.

Is stacking relievers or streaming risky sp’s the better way to get out of last in era and whip in roto. Not much to lose, with this amount of time left in the year
Jeff Zimmerman
7:56
Depends where are you in the other categories. I was basically last in all but Saves in one league and said screw the ratios. Still do but have moved out of last in ERA and almost in WHIP The key is to pick a lane and stick to it.
kuff6
7:56
Thanks for doing these every week. Always nice to bounce ideas/get input from someone else before making a move
Jeff Zimmerman
7:56
You're welcome

Any concerns here? Pitcher, Points, 12 team: Gausman, Garrett, Ohtani, Ober, Eovaldi, Bradish. QS not Ws. ROS.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:57
They are fine, sure beats those on the wire
Chickie
7:57
Aside from the fact that Shane Bieber starts every fifth day, give me just one compelling reason that he should be rostered in a 12 team Dynasty?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:57
Very little
NFBCOC12s
7:57
Ji Hwan Bae worth stashing in 12s if you need SBs?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:58
No, I'm not sure he'll play much if Gonzalez keeps hitting
Guest
7:58
Aranda in a mixed league?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:58
Should remain on the waiver wire
Royce
7:58
Is Tyler O’Neill a good stash?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:58
Yes ... I guess. I wish he gets traded.
John
7:59
Any concerns with Skubal maxing out at approx 65 pitches right now?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:59
Not enough to no roster him
Porcho Villa
7:59
Votto comeback tour for real? K% rough but looking awesome other than that and 2021 wasn’t that long ago
Jeff Zimmerman
8:00
Good so far. He might be more of a bench streamer in shallower leagues
Wes
8:00
Re: SB being rough. Do you think McCarthy and Maikel are strong holds in 12'ers despite PT for former  team context for latter?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:00
I think you have to right now
Josh
8:01
How does CJ Abrams value change at MI with him looking like he’ll hit lead off the rest of the way? Is he top 20 in 6x6 h2h categories?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:01
No way a top-20 bat. The counting stats won't be there, especially RBI.
Tim
8:01
Any hope for Tony Disco in the 2nd half? “Shoulder fatigue” seems too vague and too ominous IMO
Jeff Zimmerman
8:02
Very little but the wire is so bare, he might be a hold in some places.
Chickie
8:02
Any chance Mountcastle can return to fantasy relevance? His sub .600 OPS v RHP seems inconceivable. Unless of course we think he’s due for some positive regression, which might render him a 2nd half MVP.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:03
The Orioles are getting loaded and playing time is getting scarce. I'd hold on Mountcastle for the next 2 weeks and then re-evaluate
Willie Stargell
8:03
Jeff, thanks so much for the Sunday night chat.  At least once or twice a chat you defer questions about minor leaguers to someone who focuses on that area.  How do you handle the situation when a prospect is called up and you need to make a decision about rostering - go with your gut, do instant research, wait for an MLB sample size to develop, phone a friend, run comps, or a combination thereof?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:04
I don't know who is doing what in the minors and when they get called up.
8:06
For both hitters and pitchers, I have a couple of tools to see how they are doing. It helps a ton that AAA has public StatCast metrics.   For hitters, I go with comps about 90% of the time. For pitchers, I can find their pERA and it gives me a great starting point to find plus pitches.
Dave in slc
8:06
In only have 25% of my faab left in AL only. Is cowser worth bidding on or would you just wait? Lots of people still have money so big call ups or trades from nl would likely go pretty high
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
Go 1% or 2% but hold. Many might be waiting for the trade deadline
