Heaney

Howdy! I am looking to replace Steele in a 15-team QS mixed league with relatively thin pitching on waivers. Best options to my eye appear to be Ben Brown, Matt Liberatore, Luis Ortiz and Osvaldo Bido. How would you rank that group for ROS?  Thank you for your time with this, as always!
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
Right now, I'd go with Bido. He has the CWS next week and a nice two-step the week after that. If you plan on just stashing, go with Brown
Vic

15 Tm Mixed.  Liberatore or Nick Martinez as a drop for David Festa ?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
Martinez but it could be a huge mistake
Tino
8:08
How much of a priority add is Angel Martinez?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:08
Low, he's only playing because Thomas is hurt
Longhorn Leghorn

Graham Ashcraft has looked like a different dude in short outings. Is his future at the back-end, or does Tito stick with Diaz when he comes back?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:09
Tito doesn't care if Diaz closed before, he'll go with the guy getting the job done

This early in the season, what do you look at when analyzing potential breakouts like T. Soderstrom, K. Campbell, etc.? Relatedly, when do stats like barrel rate, hard hit%, and strikeout rate start to produce some signal?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:10
For hitters, I want to see they swinging hard while maintaining their swinging-strike rate.
Lots of time, a batter will sacrifice one for the other. When they do both, good things happen
15 Team Trawlin'

Thoughts on some deep league MI guys -- Thomas Saggese, Nick Allen, Kyle Farmer, Edouard Jullien?  I kinda like Saggese if hes going to be a starter... am I crazy?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
Saggese is the one to add for now. We have a good idea of who the others are.
Vader
8:11
Looking for the best season long pickup in H2H Jeff, how would you rank E Cabrera, Leiter, Lucas, Boyd, B Chandler
Jeff Zimmerman
8:12
Boyd, Lucas, doesn't matter about the other three. None of these are long-term solutions and should be streamed
Come back, Shane
8:12
Shane Smith lived up to your sentiments with another solid outing and poor k/bb numbers. I shouldn't fall for it, right? My choices are him, Festa, Povich...
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
Festa and Povich are better options.

Trying to decide between Ohtani and Schwarber in my UT spot - who you got?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:14
both
Brooks Lee
8:15
Buying?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:15
Oh yea
K9
8:15
Lawler starting to heat up at AAA...May call up?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:16
Possible. I think the issue will be that he'll go back to the minors once Marte returns
Tim
8:16
Drop Rocchio for Meidroth in AL only?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:16
yes
Pitching stress
8:16
Drop Hicks and/or Verlander for festa, Zebby or Easton Lucas?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:17
These guys are all close. I know Verlander has nice matchups next week. Stream the matchups

Is Garrett Mitchell worth holding on to in a 14+ league? I don’t imagine him ever playing vs a lefty?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:18
You can move on from him
Dave in slc
8:18
Is your article based on your preferred ranking for pickup or something else? I noticed yiu have Lucas higher than ginn in your article but just said in this chat you'd take ginn over him..
Jeff Zimmerman
8:19
They are close and I would go with Lucas
marge
8:19
Wicks last threw yesterday-- got a multi-inning save...
Jeff Zimmerman
8:19
It'll be someone else depending one when they need an arm.
LD
8:19
Roden vs Veen?  15 team mixed.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:20
Roden for me but I could be wrong, very wrong
Redbull44
8:20
Is Alec Bohm in jeopardy of losing playing time? Thanks
Jeff Zimmerman
8:20
Not yet, he has at least couple more weeks.
8:21
It is his worst 13 game sample in the past 5 seasons: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/alec-bohm/21618/graphs?position=3B&s...
