Jeff Zimmerman

7:49

I wouldn't count on it.

dave in slc

7:49

would you pick up junior guerra in nl only if you need saves?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:50

Yes, also the Miami setup men can be added with all the games coming up.

John

7:50

So you believe in Jared Walsh, both for remainder of this year and into next year?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:51

Yes for 2020. I'm worried Pujols and Ohtani will steal at bats from him next year.

Sir Farts A Lot

7:52

Do I drop Kevin Gausman?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:52

For who?

Mike

7:52

What’s the deal with Walsh from the Angels. Worth a pickup in 12 team mixed. What % of FAAB? Thanks

Jeff Zimmerman

7:52

50% if he's needed. What are teams saving the FAAB for?

David

7:53

My opponent last week had 15 starts, got 3 wins. A better approach to look for middle relievers with good Ks and ratios and let the wins take care of themselves?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:53

I don't know what is the right approach. I have a feeling IP need to replace Wins

7:54

Wins are fickle with relievers also.

Chip Chipperson

7:54

Is Jake the only person asking questions tonight?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:55

I don't even look at the names. I've been "disciplined" for some of the names that I've allowed.

Lou

7:55

If so, an you rank Mondesi, McNeil, Moustakas, and Segura for next week?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:55

League type?

Chip Chipperson

7:55

D. Smyly, T. Antone, and T. Clarke are all available in an NL-only 5x5 league. Rank them please, this season only.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:56

Antone, Smyly, and Clarke but the order could change based on need.

Salty

7:56

Hi Jeff - there's word Teoscar might come back mid-week. Expecting a return to his value pre-injury might be ambitious - I'm afraid he's trying to get back into a playoff race at less than full strength. What do you think?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:57

I passed on him but am throwing a few darts at Pham.

Jake

7:57

Harrison Bader for $158... why

Jeff Zimmerman

7:57

Didn't spend the FAAB and a 10 game week.

Mark

7:57

Worth picking up Andriese (asks a Pena and Buttery owner thru tears)?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:58

I'd gamble in Detroit, Miami, and Arizona instead

New to Roto

7:58

I'm barely clinging to first. Need to improve WHIP quick. Should I pick up best SPs available (L.Garcia, T.Rogers...) or grab relievers, watch usage, and pray? Daily league. 2 transaction limit weekly. no faab

Jeff Zimmerman

7:59

Best available and really get picky on the BB/9 rates

Chip Chipperson

7:59

Jeff. My Uncle Paul told me the other day that he thinks Vince Coleman was a better baserunner for the Cardinals than the recently departed Lou Brock. I think Brock was better and has the numbers to prove he was the best all-time Cardinals baserunner. What say you?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:01

Coleman was a bad stealer. I think McGee was better. It was just that Coleman went all the time.

KAREN

8:01

I’ve been holding Karinchak for weeks now, hoping he would get the closer gig. I still really need saves, but could use the roster spot. 2 weeks left. Likely droppable - right?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:02

I did. I'd hold if we had months left but not two weeks.

Guest

8:02

Austin Slater Platooning? Garrett Cooper is available on waivers in my league. Should I pick up Cooper?

Jeff Zimmerman

8:02

Slater is unownable right. I had to drop in a bunch of leagues.

8:03

Pat Valaika is a sneaky SB source and qualified everywhere but C

Jake

8:03

Of course I got 7 inning shutouts from Cole, Nola, Lamet, and Ian Anderson on my bye week

Jeff Zimmerman

8:03

With that staff, that's why you got the bye

Dan

8:04

Cat hit the keyboard. Not sure this went thru. Drop Grichuck and Y. Guriel for Cooper and Aquilar to advantage Miami's 9 home games. Or leagues playoffs start tomorrow (OBP not BA). Advice please!

Jeff Zimmerman

8:04

Maybe. See how much each played in the other double-headers. I think Aguilar only played one game.

8:05

I'd hope you have room to bench Grichuck or Gurriel

Streamers next week...

8:05

Need 2 Steamers next week.Duffy, L.Garcia (Hou), C. Smith, or Kukuchi

Jeff Zimmerman

8:05

Garcia, Kukuchi, Smith

Connecting…
