Jeff Zimmerman
7:58
Maybe for Garcia
Tim
7:59
Do you trust Pagan or Romero more in Saves/Holds combined?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:59
Neither are on my target list, not good enough pitchers.
steve
7:59
Considering bid for Arrighetti...drop Liberatore or Abbott?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:00
I'm holding the pair. I'm not sure Spaghetti, the pitcher,  is any good.
Wenceel Perez
8:00
What would you pay for him in a 5x5 AL Only roto, especially if you just lost two OF? (other option on the wire is Ahmed Rosario)
Jeff Zimmerman
8:00
Yes
Mike
8:01
Where would Evan Carter rank on today’s list of hitters.  He seems to be doing some things (HRs and SBs), he hit second today, and his statcast page is pretty red?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:01
With the other platoon bats (e.g. Garrett Mitchell). He does hit five righties this week.
Guest
8:02
Mize seems like nothing special in a 12 team roto, correct? Soroka/Nelson/Wacha would be slightly more interesting?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:02
None of those pitchers are special, stream the ones with the best matchups.
jl
8:03
in a 15 team nfbc, if a healthy top 250 pick was dropped (e.g. kerry carpenter, colton cowser, brendan donovan), how much would you be willing to bid? thanks for doing this!
Jeff Zimmerman
8:03
As I explained early, look for comps from comparable players in comparable leagues.
Kirkside
8:03
Trying to fill the Kirk shaped hole in my life. OBP league. Any preference among these guys? Heineman (bad back, I know), Garver, d'Arnaud, Jake Rogers, Wynns, Fedduccia, Escarra, Valenzuela?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:04
Rogers but I feel dirty about it
Daniel
8:04
NL Only.  Have Bailey as my #2 catcher. Drop him for Del Castillo? Also, drop Nick Gonzales for Nick York?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:04
Add Del Castillo and hold Gonzales
Randy
8:04
Ben Brown now the primary setup for Palencia?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:04
He might be
M I Doomed?
8:05
Hard up for an MI in my OBP legue. Do you have a favorite 1 or 2 among these dregs: Juan Brito, Brice Matthews, Richie Palacios, Oswaldo Peraza, Taylor Walls, Javy Baez, Ez Duran, Schneeman, Blaze Alexander...?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:06
Add Brito for a week and see how he does.
Boisclair is there
8:06
Time to cut bait on Okamoto?  Old man Muncy was dropped, but not sure he's a better gamble.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:07
I wouldn't, it's taking him some time to adapt, so I expect him to improve as the season goes on
M I Doomed?
8:07
(Mostly people too terrible for your always valuable WW piece…)
Jeff Zimmerman
8:08
I make some tough calls and aim for upside, but that's what the waive wire is about
Closing Time
8:08
Never thought I could have too many closers (!) but I’ve got Helsley, Romano and Erceg in AL only. Keep Bryan King around as a spec (especially with such shaky closers) or use the spot to stream a starter? (Matz, Kay, Cecconi the sorts of available names)
Jeff Zimmerman
8:08
If you can trade, get a haul
Why not Zoidberg?
8:09
Nick Pollack seems really high on Bubba Chandler and if he clicks I'm sure it's great, but I'm shallow enough most of your weekly waiver wire pitchers are available. Thoughts on moving on or holding for the potential? I don't strictly need the spot but it feels like a waste if I'm not starting him.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:10
He's unstartable with a 7.7 BB/9. Coming into today's disaster, he had a 1.73 WHIP. In roto leagues, it's doing as much damage as a 6.87 ERA. Unusable.
Tom
8:11
what % of FAAB for Schulze in 13 team mixed redraft?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:12
What it takes to get him, I spent near 25% and am fine with it. Few difference makers show up and he could be one.
Finn
8:12
Thanks as always for the insights, Jeff, any reason to pick up a dropped Alec Bohm as a 1B/3B insurance policy?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:12
Perfectly fine bench bat.
Boisclair is there
8:13
No IR; worth grabbing Snell in a 10 team league or roll with J Cantillo?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
Add Snell
Jacoby
8:14
Noticed you left Jose Fernandez off this weeks waiver wire report. Are you no longer interested in him?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:14
I can only write about so many guys ... one sec ...
8:15
I probably should have added him since he's still at 19%.
Guest
8:15
What's your read on how real Vasquez has looked? Projections think it's a mirage but perhaps they haven't reacted to what he looks like recently?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:16
I have him valued as a 3.68 ERA talent. It seems my system, for now, is splitting the results and projecitons.
