powered byJotCast

Hello everyone. The focus of this chat is to discuss FAAB and Waiver Wire adds. I answer those first and then go back to answer any others.

Can you rank these bench bat OFs for an OC:  Santander (on roster), K Calhoun, Piscotty, or Kyle Lewis.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
This one is pretty tough. I like Santander with the Red Sox the first week and the Marlins in week2
then I'd go Lewis (upside), Calhoun, Piscotty
Ryan
7:34
Houser or Sandy A
Jeff Zimmerman
7:34
Neither right now.
7:35
Sandy A has a tough schedule while Houser is likely on a 6 man rotation.
Go Houser but keep streaming
Ed

Hey Jeff! Lots of excitement surrounding Clarke Schmidt these days. He is available in my points dynasty league. Should I be running to get him? Could I drop someone like Logan Gilbert or a Danny Jansen for his services?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
I think Jansen is worth dropping. Also, you can get him and trade.
Clay
7:36
Cano is available on my WW.  Would you take him ahead of Matt Carpenter and Anthony Santander? How much would you bid?  MI  and OF #5 options
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
For sure Cano over Carp. Cano is hitting 3rd
7:37
10% to 15% if few other bids
7:38
There are 9 bidding periods so even going with an even divide, owners should be looking to spend $100 a week
Cuthbert
7:38
What do you know about any changes Dylan Cease has made to his delivery and would you pick him up over Jordan Montgomery?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:39
Cease needs to just throw strikes and that's on him. I'm a huge Montgomery fan with his velo jump and great surrounding cast.

all things equal, would you hold Puig or drop him?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
I'm dropping right now in one league where I can. I have so many unresolved issues that I don't need Puig muddying the team
Guest

I don’t get why, when consensus is Nate Pearson starts game 8, why isn’t he owned everywhere? Are people really waiting for him to go 5IP, 1er, 7k before jumping?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:41
Probably the main reason is that some league don't allow MiLB additions. The player must of been in the majors.

Yahoo’s new default is daily FAAB. Is that better or worse than weekly?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
I think it is the worst possible option
If daily, the waiver wire runs at midnight (no FAAB). If weekly, Sunday FAAB
Kelly
7:42
What is a fair bid for Spencer Howard in nfbc?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:43
I have no idea how this bidding is going to go.
I'd not be surprised if someone goes $400 on him
7:44
I do like that some boundries will be set tonight and then a baseline for next week can be known.
Dansby Swanson
7:44
12 team pts league... drop me for DeJong? DeJong should bat much higher in the lineup than me.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:45
These two are so close, just stream them based on the matchup
Aaron Burr
7:45
Any good recommendations for an RP, who is starting in a strong matchup in week 1 or is more likely than normal RP to pick up a win?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:46
Dive in to the Dodgers. Possibly Kelly. Four games against the lowly Giants.
Acuna Matata
7:46
Which bat would you prefer as a Yordan replacement at the UTIL spot Aaron HIcks or Cespedes?  14 team dynasty h2h points format.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:47
I think it's Hicks. I don't believe Cespedes is healthy and the Mets will cycle players in and out of the DH spot (e.g. Cano)
Jay
7:47
what percentage of FAAB would you spend on Austin Adams (SEA)?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:48
He's a tough one to gauge the interest on. More than the min but probably 2%
Quarantino Martinez
7:48
In AL only OBP, is it too risky to roster TB players like Martinez/Margot/Keirmaier/et al?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:49
If they are healthy, they are fine but owners are going to need PA's and I only feel good about Keirmaier
Fangraph's Lurker
7:49
drop 1: Yandy diaz, hunter renfroe, kolten wong
Jeff Zimmerman
7:50
Diaz or Renfroe. I'm worried about the pair's playing time.
Jack Straw
7:51
Burdi or Crick - where are you placing your higher FAAB and what percentage?
