Yes, drop Teo for Tucker and bid enough to make future moves

Ideally, how much FAAB do you like going into September with in 15 team leagues?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:11
Assuming $1000 budget: $50 (if winning), but it could be $25 if losing. The winning team will need to pay $2 for those tiebreakers. Also, leave yourself at least $7, possibly $10 for the last week. Guys will sit and entire rosters might need to be churned

In a 15, my catchers are Francisco Alvarez and Campusano. Are free agents Gaspar Flores or Torrens an upgrade over either?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:12
Hold

NL only auction keeper- picked up Jackson Kent for $1 for his 2-fer this week and hopefully more.   Didn't work out like I had hoped.  I can keep playing the stream/shuffle game...Drop him for Smith-Shawver, Dion, or Ed Cabrera.?  I could also just hold Kent for now too, and put him on the bench.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:13
Hold with those other options. You could add and bench ASS instead of Kent

slim pickings this week, ramirez (chc) or loftin?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:14
Ramiriez but Shaw might shake things up
johnsond76
8:15
Already have Webb in my lineup in nl only.  Would you activate palencia to secure chi saves and cut brandyn Garcia, or let it ride another week?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:15
I might go with the two Cubs
NicklePickers
8:15
Which Cantillo do we see @LAA this week? He's been so inconsistent, even excluding @COL, and my whip needs help...
Jeff Zimmerman
8:16
If you need help with WHIP, you might need to stay away

Bautista got roughed up in AA, but reached 97 and got multiple 2-strike counts. Worth stashing to maybe get saves for a few weeks?  Also, please rank Weaver, N Pearson and J Martinez for saves.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:17
I'm ignoring Bautista. Baker is fine.   Weaver, Martinez, Pearson
Willie Stargell

Was toying with the idea of putting a bid in on Justin Martinez or Tugboat Wilkinson in an old school 4X4 $260 cap keeper league where I have to keep them no cut for the rest of this year and can keep them up to two additional years.  ERA, and WHIP TIGHT! Weighing chance of trying to get a cheap potential keeper without talking a landmine albatross for the last month. Bid or Not Bid?  Thanks so much for all of your work and this chat!
Jeff Zimmerman
8:18
I'm not sure either one will be a savior. If you want a deep add, look to either Herz or Miles
8:19
Both could be nice keepers

Hi Jeff.  5x5 redraft league. I am at my wits' end with Kirby and Woo.  Pickings are slim on the wire outside of Jake Bennett.  Suggestions?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:20
You can go with Bennett. I'm in deep leagues; it's either Quantrill or the Seattle arms. I'm going Seattle

Hi Jeff...thanks for your answers. Do you prefer Wesneski over Singer in a 15 teamer?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:21
Wesneski and it's not close

How are we feeling about starting Glasnow @ATL? He's been dealing in rehab and ATL has been ice cold. (Currently weighing him against Metlton v TB or Detmers v. PHI)
Jeff Zimmerman
8:22
I'm starting him, but you have better options than I do. I might go Melton
fyek276
8:22
how do you value Bibbee moving forward? better than kremer?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:23
I have Bibee just a bit (0.15 ERA) better than Kremer

Lawlar & Culpepper are available.  Which one to go for ? Or both ?  Would have to drop Gelof, or Royce,   12T deep roto    Homer runs are needed
Jeff Zimmerman
8:23
Stay

start Urena and Alvarez for their 2 steps or just stream in MR like morejon?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:24
I'm streaming both of them.
johnsond76

Thoughts on how palencia affects Webb in chi?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:25
I don't think he does until Webb falters. It'll be similar to the Twins at the trade deadline.

I'm out of it in an NL only and trying to get guys in faab at prices I could keep for next year. $100 faab money, $270 cap for the draft. What would you bid on Smith -shawver in that context?
Jeff Zimmerman
8:25
$1, I'm not a fan, put $1 on Herz instead
Missing Ed Kranepool
8:26
Soroka is out with a forearm injury which is concerning.  Please rate the following replacement pitchers for him.  Alvarez, Buehler, Rocker, Junk, Houser, Prielipp, Sandoval and Bratt.  The top 3 would be fine.  By the way,  the comment in you waiver column today was priceless! Deep league with poor options for replacement I know.
Jeff Zimmerman
8:28
Alvarez ... Sandoval, Houser
