Any read on Brady Basso of OAK who may have 2 starts (vs TEX, at SEA) this week?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:51

Decent option in deeper leagues. I'm not a fan of his 92-mph fastball but all of his pitches have a swinging-strike rate over 10%

All I need is home runs, home runs are all I need! Pick 2 to start: Tavares, Story, Benintendi, Gimenez

Jeff Zimmerman

7:52

Benni and Story

Jeff Zimmerman

7:53

Lopez and Robles

J Lennon

All I need is wins, wins, wins are all I need: Do I actually start Jose Suarez vs CWS this week?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:53

It's an option.

I'm in my 12-tm H2H categories championship this coming week and looking to strengthen my in either SBs or Hs. Is one of those categories more predictable than the other? To put names on them in SBs I'd likely go for Victor Robles. In Holds, I need someone who can sit in an SP slot, so I'm looking at Derek Law, Erik Miller, Aaron Ashby. On Tuesday, I can cut two SPs so I can take any two of those four. Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman

No question there

Thanks for all the chats all season long. Was in second as recently as about a week ago. Now in 7th. Arggh! Why does Baldelli take a pitcher out who is pitching a shutout with 2 outs in the 5th? Why did Megill only go 4. How come wins are so hard to come by? Just venting (and probably speaking for a lot of us)...lol.

Jeff Zimmerman

Vent

Basso vs. Spence

7:55

It appears that Spence is getting two starts this week, not Basso. Does anyone know for sure??

Jeff Zimmerman

7:56

Nobody knows ... maybe both.

Aranda worth a play for power this week?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:56

For sure

Do you see Alcantara opening with MIA and staying all season, traded offseason or deadline?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:58

I'm not sure he'll be read or the team may slow-play him.

Curious if you have a favorite 1 and 1b from this morass of arms. (I need wins but want to protect ratios if possible): Cantillo CIN, Festa MIA, Basso TX, Spence TX, Kutter TBR, Pivetta TBR...

Jeff Zimmerman

7:59

Pivetta

Guest

Nl only roto w strikeouts and ratios close would you start oller or weather's?

Jeff Zimmerman

Neighter

My system like Weathers by over a run in ERA

Vince

8:00

Thanks for all your great work! It’s helped get me to final week for 12-tm, H2H category championship! Who do you like to pick up off waivers … Cantillo, Festa, Montas? Why!

Jeff Zimmerman

8:02

All with one start next week and they have ~4.00 ERA talent

Aranda

8:03

Aranda getting hot. I don't trust the Rays, but is he an add over Andrew Vaughn?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:03

Aranda is fine

Save Specs

8:03

Dumpster diving for relievers. Anyone stand out from this list? Kahnle, Bigge, Quijada, Vest, Bubic? I'd love a save/win but will settle for not getting destroyed.

Jeff Zimmerman

8:03

Quijada. I think he's the closer

8:03

Probably have to drop a closer to add needs. Any preference to drop : JMart, RSuarez, Chapman or Hodge ? Need Ks

Jeff Zimmerman

8:04

Martinez. He might be losing hold on the starting job

Need a win

8:04

Pick 2: Suarez vs. CWS, Povich vs. MIN, Mize vs. TB or CWS?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:04

Suarez and Mize

Guest

8:05

There is a question there, lol. Which category -- SBs or Hs -- is a better bet to chase in the final week of H2H. There are three answers -- Hs, SBs, neither.

Jeff Zimmerman

8:06

Hits IMO. Stolen bases can just come and go.

Championship

8:06

Thanks for all these throughout the season. It’s the championship week - Nootbaar, Torkelson, Yoshida for this week? Categories (OBP / SLG league)

Jeff Zimmerman

8:06

You're welcome

Nootbaar for me
