Welcome

Here are the winning bids from the two 15-team Tout Wars redraft leagues

ryan

7:33

any hope for framber? or drop him for taj/ginn?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:34

My projections have Taj first as a 4.08 ERA talent, then Framber at 4.12, and then Ginn at 4.38.

7:34

Is River Ryan going to save my season?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:35

No, unless you play in a AAA league

HammeredHank

7:35

How much can you rely on pitching+ in short term. Rank QS league 13team Junk (healthy one) Ryne Nelson Reid Detmers Sandlin Logan Henderson

Jeff Zimmerman

7:36

I only examine the last 3 weeks of STUPH models; after that, results (K%, SwStr%, BB%, Ball%) are more predictive.

Arms and Armor

7:37

Thank you for the great WW pitcher piece. Where would Ginn and Bello slide in relative to the likes of Jump and Sandlin?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:38

They would be right in there. I think I might go with Jump and Sandlin, hoping for upside.

What's your take on Jacob Gonzalez's power burst to start the year at AAA? SSS theater, or true breakout?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:39

He increased his EV by almost 4 mph. That's legit.

I'm running comps, so give me a sec ...

7:41

And here they using just Contact% and EV's

7:42

Some good and bad, but definately someone to take a chance on.

Is Colt Keith droppable in a deep 12team AL Only for the likes of Nathan Lukes or Victor Mesa?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:42

I'd hold Keith for those two, maybe drop for Gonzalez

Walk softly, carry a gray rod

7:42

Taking any fliers on Grayson Rodriguez in ALonly? Stuff+ looks ok, and he was better albeit against the Tigers. Home vs Colorado next.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:43

He seems to be improving with each start, so I think he's worth an add

Beano

7:43

NL Hitters on my waiver wire (I have an opening!): Valazquez, Ty France, Jared Young, Drew Gilbert, Yaz, and this guy is the most intriguing to me: Jonah Cox
Your thoughts?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:43

Yaz

Spencer Miles got lit up today, any change to your outlook on him?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:45

Even after getting lit up, he has an 8.4 K/9, 3.0 BB/9, 56% GB%, and 3.47 ERA (3.28 xFIP). Hell yes I'm still interested.

Bill

7:46

Looking to pick up Ryan (LAD)…drop Prielipp? Urena? Nelson?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:46

Urena

Grote

7:46

Are you more willing to gamble on Christian Scott or Jack Leiter having figured out the pitching thing?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:46

Scott for sure

7:47

I'm not as sold on Leiter, I feel he's over rostered

7:48

I have a list of potential pickups in my leagues and Leiter would rank 20th

Sending out the Bat Signal

7:49

Hi Jeff! For my AL Only OBP Bench Bat, do you like any of Taveras, Osuna, Cowser, IKF, Schneeman? Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman

7:49

Taveras

The Batman

7:50

JJ Bleday was cut in my 12 team OC. He does the things my team is already good at, but his skills have been so strong and the results are there so I have to bid. How much FAAB do you think seems reasonable for Bleday?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:52

I was looking for adds from last week for reference, there were none. I'm guessing he'll at least go for $50. If I had a team that needed his skill set, I'd go way higher.

nfbcOC12s

7:52

sure seems like Trevor Megill has the closer gig now. how much would you be willing to spend in faab in 12s

Jeff Zimmerman

7:53

Wherever he's available, he'll go for at least $50

High was $43 last week

skipper

7:53

Tough NL only 12 team league. Have Adrian Del Castillo thinking of switching him out for Jesus Rodriguez. Anything here?
