Sunday Night Waiver Wire & FAAB Chat

Jeff Zimmerman

7:31

Welcome

Here are the winning bids in the two ToutWars 15-team leagues.

Thatch

7:32

Hi Jeff, who gets saves for the cubs if Palencia hits the IL? Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman

7:32

I'm guessing Keller ... one sec ...

7:34

Looks like the team has used Keller and Thielbar in highest leverage situation (gLI): https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&lg=all&season=2...

Henry

7:34

would you trust Chandler next start @ WAS after today's debacle? would be replacing Nola

Jeff Zimmerman

7:35

I didn't trust him when he got called up. Walks are a huge issue with him when starting.

7:36

Pirates have 3 lefties next week, and Cruz is now in a strict platoon. Bench for the likes of Jackson or Meidroth?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:36

Probably.

Pete

7:36

2 start week - Cecconi (KC, CHW) or Dana (MIn, @ SEA)?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:36

SLADE

John

7:36

Do you think Rays will start Seymour @ White Sox or bulk reliever?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:37

I've given up guessing what the Rays will do next. I'm not sure they do.

Aging Veteran

7:37

Who would be your starting pitcher choice in a deep league the rest of the season, Jeff? (3 choices sadly only! Tolle, Pfaadt or Cavalli)

Jeff Zimmerman

7:37

Cavalli and not close

Mother Tucker

7:37

Sounds like Tucker will remain out of the lineup, at least to start the week. What to do in a weekly league? Would you bench for Manzardo?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:39

These are tough calls. I'd go Manzardo. I'd be mad if Tucker came back and hit instead of Manzardo. I'd be even more mad if I started Tucker and he never played.

Finn

7:39

Thanks as always, Jeff, looking to add starting pitching, on my wire is Tong, Waldrep, Cantillo and Mize…how would you prioritize?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:39

All but Mize

7:40

Cantillo is lineup up for a nice two-step this week and Tong matchups are nice ROS (TEX, WSN, MIA).

EssPees

7:41

Where would Sheehan rank in your waiver article?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:41

The top few

RAGBRAI

7:41

What is Kim’s role in Atlanta next year, if any?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:42

Starting shortstop

Mick

7:42

Hi Jeff, need some depth…do you prefer Romy Gonzalez, Jung or Barger? Thanks.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:42

Barger, not close

maris9

7:42

Bidding on pitching prospects tomorrow for rest of season with an eye on next year. Put in your order of preference. Thanks: Nolan McLean, Luis Morales, Brandon Sproat, Jonah Tong.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:43

McLean, Tong, Morales, Sproat

Brian

7:43

Into the semis but not feeling confident. Have Bubba Chandler and Payton Tolle at the end of my rotation. Should I cut one loose for Wells, Bibee, or activating Weathers? Qs league.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:43

Drop both for Wells and Weathers

Yogi

7:44

Straight points league. Chance to land a prospect in FA on Monday. Which infielder you like for 2026? Jeremy Jackson or Colson Montgomery. Thanks Jeff.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:45

Looking through my ranks, I have Jackson by quite a bit

7:46

The big difference is stolen bases.

Daniel

7:47

Looking to pad my IPs, getting a bit too close and I’m in first place. Is Latz a decent stream this week or too risky? Would drop Maton (giving me nothing for SOLDS). AL Only.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:47

Yes in an AL-only. I'm running out Latz in shallower leagues.

Sproatum

7:47

I'm guessing my $10-15 per week budget next 3 weeks isn't gonna get me close to Sproat-age tonight?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:48

Nope. I'm surprised people have so much left

Max

7:48

Start 2 for this week. Luis garcia, matt mclain, anthony volpe, brooks lee, sal stewart, jared triolo
