How do you value closers in 10 team leagues. I have a Roto lead by 30 saves with Smith, Durran, Baker and Varland. I want to trade one of them for a hitter, but I'm unsure on what quality hitter to be targeting from a saves desperate team. Michael Harris Jr? Bryan Reynolds? Better? Worse?
Jeff Zimmerman

First, see if there is any history of closer for hitter trades to get a frame of reference. Second, don't worry if you will win the trade. Does the trade make your team better? Then do it. In some leagues, teams with too many closers just have to release them to the wire with no return.

Jeff, appreciate these chats, and your Sunday waivers column is must-read for anyone to plays this game. Are you willing to share who some of your favorite non-closing relievers are? Guys we might find on any of your teams, for instance?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
Must be a subscriber, but I covered how I find them and some of the current top choices

In some leagues, I don't have the choice but to trust him

Would you cut bait on either Jose Soriano or Shota Imanaga for Griffin Jax or Sproat? QS league
Jeff Zimmerman
8:16
The QS aspect is tough with Jax
8:17
I'm holding Imanaga, but I could see dropping Soriano

10-team NL only. Has the clock struck midnight in Cinderella Elder? Drop for Christian Scott?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:20
Sure. Elder is toast. Drop Elder for anyone.

AL Only, OBP league. Trade Meidroth and Braden Montgomery for Yesavage and Bolte? I'm not desperate for pitching but could use a bump (Ginn and Cantillo are my worst arms and there is a start limit); losing 2 bats would mean relying on the likes of Jacob Gonzalez and Denzer Guzman, at least until Grisham comes back. Is it selling Montgomery too early? Is a decent bat more valuable than a more than decent arm in a very deep league?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:20
I'd make he trade

Why do the nats insist on using a different closer every game. Is that good for their development?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:21
They hate fantasy managers

sorry, queue sent too early. My question is (12 team with OPS) is Murakami for Konnor Griffin fair or am I not getting enough or too much?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:21
For this year, I like the Murakami side

Boyd, SLADE

8:23
Flaherty interesting?
Jeff Zimmerman

I picked up Joshua Baez in my redraft league. Worth holding onto or will the strikeouts keep him in the minors?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:25
I think they need to bring him up at some point to see if he can cut in the majors or what he needs to work on in the offseason
Beano

Tyler Mahle is back. Do I want him on my NL 10 team 5x5 league? Or should I watch from a very great distance?
