Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome.

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the bids from the two 15-team mixed Tout Wars teams. One league looks to have taken the night off

Jeff Zimmerman:

Fraley?: Now he’s reportedly coming back to play hurt and get surgery after the season.  How seriously should I take this and would he slot in ahead of dudes like Stone Garrett for HR/SB upside or Joc P the OBP/HR platoon assassin?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’d stay away. I bet he’s worried about losing his job.

Just how Littell?: You giving up Cobb for Littell? 
Also, short bench… are you hanging onto Franco for now?

Paul Sporer: Welcome everyone, thanks for coming out!!

MochiBetts: So are we in the rock bottoming of Jarren Duran and he’ll regress more to the mean in time for playoffs or is this all she wrote for the Cinderella story this season?

Paul Sporer: Looks like some standard BABIP regression so far this month and it just haaad to come as he was toting a greater than .400 mark for a good bit of time. I think he’s done enough to hold a bit longer and see if he emerges out of this… and i say that as someone who was skeptical on him initially

Paul Sporer: TORKS DORKS STAND UP!!!! #20!!!

Paul Sporer: (after a Riley Greene bomb 2 batters earlier, too!)

chris: grayson rodriguez has looked great since coming back. is he getting close to auto start territory?

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the FAAB results from the two 15-team Tout Wars mixed leagues:

Jeff Zimmerman:

gadawg57: Does Royce Lewis have value ROS as a bench bat or utility? More than Kike, Wallner, Burleson, or TON have? 12 team points. Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman: At least Enrique

Toolsy: Strahm, Austin Cox, Brielle. Looking for a rp in a (s+h) league who Qual @ asp.

Paul Sporer: Welcome, everyone! Thanks for coming out!!

comish4lif: Tony Gonsolin in a 12 team NL only. Has he hurt me enough by now? Is he injured? Was he never really that good? Free Agent pickup would be someone like: Cueto, Carrasco, Rich Hill, Jake Irvin…

Paul Sporer: It’s bit of an all of the above situation and I’m open to moving on from him even in an NL. I know he’s giving up a HR as I type this, but I kinda like Cueto. Carrasco looked great last time out, but think I’d still prefer Gonso. Not as in on Hill or Irvin over Gonso

B’ryce Szymbobski: Are we trusting youngins like GRod, Silseth in ten teamers now?

Paul Sporer: Definitely candidates, yes. It’s that classic situation where they almost certainly fit on someone’s roster, but possibly not yours.

KC: Does Cole Ragans have the potential to be a league winner?

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the winning bids in the two 15-team Tout Wars mixed leagues.

Jeff Zimmerman:

Jeff Zimmerman: With the trade deadline, here of the winning bids in the two 15-team only leagues:

Jeff Zimmerman:

Deadline FOMO: Looking to make moves before new situational values stabilize. Drop Cron or Suzuki for Burleson, Wallner or Bauers?

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!!

Hank Scorpio: Would you consider trading my W. Smith (closer) for their D. German fair value, or should I be looking for better than a mid-60s arm based on your rankings? I have Hader + Duran otherwise, so no problem offloading Smith and his fluid bullpen situation

Paul Sporer: I think that’s fair. You might be able to shop higher, but if you’re comfortable w/German, it works. He’s always got that HR risk, but the upside is still strong when he’s on

Hank Scorpio: Hey Paul, thanks as always for the chat. 12tm 6×6 roto. I have a trade on the table currently: my Schwarber/Monty for their Cease/Teoscar. The other team is asking for F. Peralta instead of Monty, but I think it works as is and it becomes too like for like. What are your thoughts in either direction? I can afford to give up Schwarber since I have Muncy, I was just really hoping Teoscar got moved yesterday to no avail. Need Avg, RBI, R, XBH on offense; pretty much everything in pitching

Paul Sporer: Totally agree re: it becoming pointless to shift Monty to Peralta with respect to Ks specifically

Sam: Is it time to drop Springer? 10 man h2h 5×5 league, other options include Muncy, Kwan, B Lowe

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome.

Jeff Zimmerman: If any major news breaks, I might have to end the chat early to adjust my dozen or so leagues.

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the winning bids in the two 15-team Tout Wars mixed leagues.

Jeff Zimmerman:

Jeff Zimmerman: Oh … one sec since it’s the trade deadline …

Jeff Zimmerman: Here the winning bids in NL Tout Wars: https://baseball5.onroto.com/baseball/webnew/display_bid_reports.pl?to…

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out!

Guest: is Ty France hurt still/again? he’s barely been a 1 cat contributor (runs) in any format YTD

Paul Sporer: Yeah he’s been rough. Not sure he’s a must-hold anywhere right now

Paul Sporer: Sometimes guys play through injury and we don’t learn about it until the end of the year bc they don’t want to make excuses

Ben: H2H keepers – I know flags fly forever, but would you move three years of minimum priced elly (auction league – $3) for tatis, yordan and gausman? with the increased weekly variance of H2H i’m more hesitant than if it was a roto league.

Paul Sporer: If you don’t think the upgrades from who you have to Gaus & Yordan (we can call Tatis/Elly even-ish) then I’m OK passing, but it’s the right kind of offer to get someone like Elly
