Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

Jeff Zimmerman: First, my internet has been on and off. If I disappear, it’s likely the cause.

Jeff Zimmerman:

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

Bill Warts: Thanks for the chat, Jeff. 12 team mixed would you drop Edman for McLain?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’d look at the matchups but it seems like an even trade

Paul Sporer: Good afternoon y’all, thanks for coming out

Guest: scale of 1 to Ober’s fastball velocity this year (90.4(, how crazy is swapping out Ober for Walter

Paul Sporer: I can see cutting Ober in a shallower league. I’m still trying to just reserve him medium-deeper formats in case this is just a lull for him. I really like Walter, though, so getting him interests me for sure

smuckles: Brendan Donovan for Willy Adames a fair trade? Feel like there is something more in Adames’s bat.

Paul Sporer: Ya I can’t quit Adames, I definitely think he has a solid summer incoming. (No shade on B Donny, btw, big fan of him, but prefer Adames rest of season)

DH: Cut Steer for Toglia in a dynasty format?

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome.

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the winning bids for the two 15-team Tout Wars teams.

Jeff Zimmerman:

Taco Grande: Projections show very similar numbers for Josh Smith and Matt Shaw for the rest of this year, with an edge to Shaw on the bases. Meanwhile results 10 weeks in show Smith the better option in all categories except SB. Is Smith a clear upgrade for the rest of this year (except SB)? Who do you like more long term in a standard 5×5 deep league keeper format?

Jeff Zimmerman: I checked my valuations and I have Smith way ahead of Shaw

Ben: who benefits the most in the BOS lineup w/no Devers?

Paul Sporer: Hey y’all, thanks for coming out. Slightly shorter chat today (~40 mins) as I have an appt. I need to get to so let’s roll!!

Matt: In Ottoneu H2H, you dropping Logan Allen로건 for Yarborough?

Paul Sporer: Ya I’m good w/that

Adenolith: Standard H2H league. Good on HRs, middle of the pack on R, RBIs, SB, and last in AVG. Can pick up J. Lowe or CES. What’s your preference?

Why not Zoidberg: Royce or CES in a standard league?

Paul Sporer: Interesting debates here w/CES. I think I lean against him in both cases, though, preferring Lowe and Royce. Lowe bc Adenolith is good in CES’s best category and Lowe can be more of a multi-cat piece when he’s rolling and I just think Royce is do for some strong regression back to the mean. Plate skills are excellent, power metrics are in line w/history, and so that leads me to believe the .213 BABIP is the major culprit here. As that regresses toward his career .281 mark (or better), stats will come flowing in — IF he stays healthy, of course

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome.

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

Jeff Zimmerman:

Jeff Zimmerman: Enjoying a solid pour of Russell’s 10 after a long week.

Bryan: Kurtz or CES ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: CES

Paul Sporer: Hey y’all, thanks for coming out!!

The Batman: I just want to say that my roster has fully entered the “everyone is getting injured” phase and I am not enjoying it!

Paul Sporer: The worst time of the year that comes for virtually EVERY team at some point. The years you avoid it or catch the very low end often wind up being the ones where you can make a run to the title

Paul Sporer: That said, injuries don’t preclude you from that run so don’t give up! In the grand scheme, it is still relatively early. All leagues are different, but there are PLENTYYYY of teams in the last 3 places of their league that can realistically still win. Won’t be easy but absolutely can be done.

Matt: 12 team dynasty roto (OBP, TB)…is it time to cut ties w/ Adames? You dropping him to call up Shaw?

Paul Sporer: Still feels too early to cut bait. Could see a benching, but I’m reluctant to quit him. Especially with a 90 pt split in AVG/OBP so while his OBP is still weak at .293, once his BABIP starts getting going, he’ll be a solid OBP asset.

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

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

Jeff Zimmerman:

qane: Thanks for helping many of us get ahead of Meadows coming up. With him coming off the IL tomorrow, I need to deal with Adolis. Any reason to think he’ll come back to be a viable OF option? Where would you put him on your waiver list this morning? Thanks.

Jeff Zimmerman: I’m holding for a week to see what happens

Eye in the Sky: Hey, Jeff–how did your son run @ States?
