Jeff Zimmerman

7:31

Welcome.

7:32

A note. Over the next two weeks, this chat might move times or not happen. I will try to let everyone know. Next week I have a friend coming through on a cross country trip and I'm not sure when he'll be here.

7:33

The next week, I have a wedding to go to. There is a good chance the chat doesn't happen that Sunday as a drive back.

Here are the winning bids from the three 15-team mixed Tout Wars leagues.

7:34

Kelly

7:34

Scherzer available in my 15 team NFBC. Max bid approved?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:35

It's time to implement some game theory and see who you can out bid and other outbid you. Same will happen with Wood next week.

Bill

7:35

Would you use Wesneski vs PHI and LAA this week?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:35

If I have him, probably. It always comes down to other options.

Chet Lime

7:36

Do you see Johan Rojas getting full time AB's for the next few weeks? Desperate for steals and I'm down to Rojas or Gelof.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:37

You have one week and then the short week. Not sure after that

Kenny

7:37

Do you believe in Kiner-Falefa breakout? Drop Schneider for him?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:37

IKF has raised his launch angle and just hitting line drive. Roster IKF just based on the playing time difference

Joey

7:37

Wesneski Ceconni Birdsong Weathers. Any worth rostering ROS in 15 teamer?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:38

Wesneski and Ceconni, yes. Weather yes when healthy. I don't think so with Birdsong

The Batman

7:38

I’m in a quandary. I’m in a 12 team 5x5 and I’m doing very well in pitching across the board but my hitting is a nightmare outside of runs and SBs. I have a little under 40% of my FAAB left. And yet, Max Scherzer is available. Do you bid heavy on him any anyways, or do you hold knowing you’re going to need that money elsewhere?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:40

Is Wood available next week? Wait on him for sure. I'd hold off going all in for Scherzer and use the money to stream hitting

Steve

7:40

Drop Polanco for Massey or Rodgers? Redraft, season long.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:40

Yes this week with KC in COL.

kuff6

7:40

Mercado now officially named for PHi and getting a 2 step vs CHC and ATL. Does that move him up your list at all from this morning?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:41

No, I'm not sold he's a good pitcher. It could be a nice week to bench and monitor. You'll have two starts to evaluate him next week.

Seanold

7:41

15 team NFBC roto league, Noelvi is available. What do you think he'll go for?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:42

It'll depend on the FAAB left. People should and will use the hammer. Bids could be as high as $500+

Chet Lime

7:42

Do you trust Carraso (home v. Chisox, Giants) or Hayden W (home v. Phils, Angels) in the double dip next week?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:43

Wes over Carrasco. I usually lean talent over schedule

Ed M.

7:43

OK, what are we expecting from James Wood ROS? Worth using 30% of my remaining FAAB on him? I could use the offense...

Jeff Zimmerman

7:44

Again, I think hammers will be dropped for Wood.

7:45

What I mean by hammer is that say the person with the most FAAB has $500 and the next person has $400. The person with $500 will spend $401 and be guaranteed to have Wood.

Troy

7:45

Should I drop Burleson in order to add and stream B Rodgers this week?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:45

I would not

Bob

7:46

prefer MJ Melendez or Luis Campusano as backup C rest of season? Points league. Thank you!

Jeff Zimmerman

7:46

Neither ... MJ but I don't like it.

Troy

7:47

Concern level for L Gil after his last two shaky starts?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:48

I don't have him but I didn't know he was that bad. I have him as a 6.00 ERA talent over the past three weeks.

Jake Sliders

7:48

Worth holding Jackson Holliday still? My team is doing well, so holding him is a luxury at this point. The other options are a bunch of the guys in your waiver wire piece.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:48

Where is he going to play?

Your waiting for an injury

Eddie

7:49

Drop Bleday for Noel or Kjerstad or hold tight? Bleday has been an adequate bench bat for me but upside is tempting.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:49

I might make the move to go for upside
