Jeff Zimmerman

7:51

He's fallen into the trap of MLB pitcher/teams finding his weakness and exploiting it. Now AAA pitcher know how to attack him. Once he figures out how to solve the weakness, his next trip to the majors should be better.

Booth

This Freeman injury hurts even though he wasn’t doing so well. If he goes on IL…. Pickup Soderstorm, A. Ramirez, or Burleson?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:52

Burleson

Mike

I have an open roster spot. Who should I pickup for my playoff run? J.Beck, I.Collins or A.Martinez

Jeff Zimmerman

7:52

Collins

Bobby Digital

What's your outlook for Schlittler? More interested in next year than this. Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman

7:54

I'm interested now. A 3.4 HR/9 should regress and help him. His 1.13 WHIP is as good as a 3.34 ERA.

7:55

Which starting pitcher would you prefer knowing only these two stats?

5.06 ERA, 1.13 WHIP (91% | 81 votes)

3.34 ERA, 1.42 WHIP (9% | 8 votes)

Total Votes: 89

I am considering dropping Tommy Edman to pick up Luke Keaschall. I am currently using Stanton at UT, but I could use the SBs that Keashcall could provide. Should I pick Keaschall up or save my FAAB for another day? As always, thanks for these chats.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:56

If you need the steals, add Keashall

Hazmat Corntail

7:57

How are we feeling about Miguel Vargas? He’s producing coming off the break

Jeff Zimmerman

7:57

I'm not a fan but in a few leagues, he helps me limit my bench with his position flexibility.

Kevin

7:57

Hi Jeff, in a head to head points league who do you like for Rest of Season at Catcher? Alejandro Kirk or Ivan Herrera?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:58

Herrera unless you need AVG help

Guest

Do you like Clemens or Vaughn more moving forward need to replace Bohm at first. Also, drop l. Taylor allen, Corbin, or gray when he comes back?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:58

Vaughn with Bauers hurt. Corbin

8:00

So with the poll, the 5.06 ERA and 1.13 WHIP is running away with it. The deal is, the answer is that they do equal ratio damage.

Chris

8:00

How would you rank these rehabbing starters? McClanahan, Arrighetti, Cortes, Ober

Jeff Zimmerman

8:00

Just do it by when they are to return. I think Cortes is first so I'd go with him.

Guest

Royce Lewis - just a good night or time to buy in?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:01

Everyone gets excited about one game. At least give me a week with a hitter.

8:02

The one part of his game I'd watch is his playing time. If he starts most days, the team might know he's healthy and his production could jump

Brandon Pfaadt recently changed his pitch mix and is attacking lefties more successfully with great results in his last 2 starts. What is your view about whether Pfaadt will keep this up and have a strong ROS with this new approach?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:03

Let me look ...

8:05

Not a ton of improvement. He looked to be a bit unlucky before this stretch and better now based on home runs.

12 Tm OC...I need power (HR, RBI). Is it K Manzardo, R Tellez, or someone else?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:07

Manzardo for this week, but don't overpay, some power will open up with the trade deadline.

Vlad

8:07

What kind of bids are we looking at for Robertson in 15 teamers?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:07

Maybe 3%. The team could trade for a closer also.

brushback33

8:08

Is K Clemmons worth rostering if I need power and can take the BA hit?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:09

For a bit. He gets platooned and Keaschall is about off the IL.

Miguel

8:09

Is Doyle going to be in a platoon going forward?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:09

It's not obvious. I'd wait for two in a row .... wait ...

8:10

Looks like he's finishing games and not being pinch-hit for, so no platoon.

Daniel

8:11

Vierling worth a look in AL only? Playing time seems to be picking up. The drop would be Bo Naylor (gross..), stick Ben Rice at C, and Vierling at CI (3B)..

Jeff Zimmerman

8:12

In this case, yes, but I don't feel good about it

Long Game

8:12

Del Castillo was a popular FAAB pick. How would you rank him compared to Carson Kelly and Victor Caratini in a one catcher format?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:12

#1 for now.

A Wittle Trade

8:12

Would you accept PCA and Neto for Bobby Witt Jr? 5x5 OBP H2H league.
