Lars Wootbaar?

8:15

Lars Nootbaar is on the waiver wire. Should I drop any of Chourio, Jarren Duran, or Jacob Young for him, or stand pat with those guys at OF?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:15

Stand

In 4th & Confused

8:16

Hi Jeff, thank you for these weeklies. I am in fourth place and have a fall IL squad consisting of Dominguez ($1 keeper), McLain, Baz, Devin Williams ($3 keeper) and Pepiot. I have an opportunity to trade for Austin Riley, Fairbanks or Hader + Jazz. Should I wait it out or should I pull trigger? I also have Caminero in NA just waiting to be called up

Jeff Zimmerman

8:17

Hold to find out the extent of Riley's injury

Paul H.

Congrats to your daughter - with the Wesneski to the bullpen news 😬 are you still holding if you picked him up already or dropping?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:17

Just hold. I'm not sure if they rest of the staff can stay healthy

When you look at newly released bat tracking data (hooray!) and see that Morel has outstanding bat speed, does it change your perception him as a hitter at all? Or are his swing decisions poor enough that you think he’ll always struggle to live up to his physical tools?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:19

I'll go on a small rant ... 95% of the info on Savant already tracks hard-hit balls and now they have another source to verify if someone is hitting the ball hard. I think the info will be noise and plan on having others figure out if any of it will be useful.

Better 2B pickup ROS in OBP league, Garcia Jr or Schneider?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:20

Schneider

Soederstrom PT estimate?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:20

60% and on some formats, he's just Util-only

Jimmy Connors

8:20

Drop Detmers for Paddack, QS league

Jeff Zimmerman

8:20

yes

Brad

8:21

Any sense of whether Miguel Vargas will get a shot here? Mashing in AAA (albeit PCL)

Jeff Zimmerman

8:21

There needs to be an opening on the MLB club. The obvious one is SS

Ashtray

8:21

Lost Casas which hurts because the wire options stink (Manzardo, Singleton, Wade, Santana, Nevin). Someone offered me Hoskins for Sale and Reynaldo Lopez. League format favors OPS and devalues starting pitching. Good deal or not?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:21

Just make the trade for one of the pitchers.

Guest

8:22

I know you’ve probably been asked before. But can you set the record straight give me your “great, good, fine, okay, etc” rating structure when it comes to relievers in your FAAB articles (ie is okay better than fine?)? I think I have it right but just want to be sure. Thanks!!

Jeff Zimmerman

8:23

I'm normal looking at the FG bullpen depth chart and need a way to differentiate the pitchers. This week, everyone ran together with good or great setup men getting added.

Bomo

8:23

Do you look at Statscast X stats as the real performance when deciding to cut or keep a player?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:24

Almost never. The only x stat I use is to see if a hitter's low BABIP is deserved with xAVG.

8:24

Is Conforto worth a hold in 15 team NFBC? Would look to add an OF like E Rosario or J DeLuca.

Jeff Zimmerman

8:25

Add DeLuca

Tommy Shanks

Got to drop 1 - Suzuki, Nootbaar, Happ, Springer, Adell, T Ward. 5x5, 23 man, 16 team mixed ... thx

Jeff Zimmerman

8:25

Nootbaar

Gasser

8:25

He is leading the bids, but might not get more than another start or two, and has had control problems consistently as a pro except for one game in the majors. I don't get why he is this in demand at this stage of his career. What am I missing? Thanks

Jeff Zimmerman

8:26

In deeper formats, there are no WW options, so people are grasping at everyone.

Berra8

8:26

AL only....Had high hopes for Jose Siri and E. Ruiz, but neither doing much. Hold or fold?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:26

Fold but the options might not be much better

8:27

I'm going to call it tonight. I have Riley in an NFBC league and need to figure out if/how to replace him.
