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

Jeff Zimmerman:

Dave: Should I drop Seranthony Dominguez for Aroldis Chapman? Saves only.

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes. My take is that Chapman may get the role back (his velo is up) and hold it for the rest-of-season. If he doesn’t in the next two weeks, drop him for people moved at the trade deadline.

Bruce in 2023: Gavin Sheets turning into a everyday player vs rightys ?

Jeff Zimmerman: He always has been in the majors and is scheduled to face six righties this week.

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Thanks for coming to my chat!!

gerg: weekly skubal check in??

Paul Sporer: It’s not good. I was not concerned after the first 3 with only Texas really standing out as problematic, but the other 2 v. BOS & TOR. Felt like standard regression. Now we’re at 5 starts w/a 2.0 HR9, soaring walk rate, and big velo dip last time out v. KC. I’m not yet cutting him in most lgs (maybe a 10) but I’m benching him

Dylan: Who is to blame for the white sox

Paul Sporer: Everyone wants it to all be TLR, but that’s not really the case. Mgrs. rarely have THAT much overall impact. I do think he is a net negative for sure and the hiring NEVER made sense (unless you know the personal friendships of TLR & Reinsdorf, but certainly no baseball sense). They’ve also been ravaged by injuries which isn’t an excuse as all teams get hit, but it can be a reason for a team’s shortcomings in a given season. Kopech looks off completely right now, too. I still can’t rule them out of the Central bc of their core of talent, but they are far from the favorites

Holy Cannoli: Where do yo think Isaac Paredes’s talent stabilizes?  I know Statcast hates him.  Can he be a 25 HR .800 OPS guy?

Jeff Zimmerman: Happy 3rd of July. By the prep in my hood, tonight is going to be the big one.

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the Tout Wars 15-team bids.

Jeff Zimmerman:

Mk3cb: In a 14-team H2H Leauge where OPS replaces Runs category Who would you go for as a Salvy replacement next couple months ?
Garver , Jansen cal raleigh, Jose trevino

Jeff Zimmerman: Garver

Jason: Happy 4th weekend. H2H Alex Wood or Eric Lauer rest of season. Thanks

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone! Let’s talk some baseball!!

Mac: Strider or Roansy long-term?

Paul Sporer: Strider for me! He looks every bit like a legit SP

Jake: think snell figures it out this year? under the hood doesn’t look that far off from career numbers but he’s been tough even in shallow leagues

Paul Sporer: The tough part is when command goes in and out, he can be great for 3-4 IP and then off for 1-2 and those 1-2 can be killer

Slurve: Hi Paul! Would you rather start Gonsolin vs SD or Javier vs LAA?

Jeff Zimmerman: Good evening.

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

Jeff Zimmerman:

Jeff Zimmerman: As always, I’m going to try to get to all the FAAB and waiver questions before I get to any trade and prospect questions.

JSayer: Any interest in Maximo Castillo? Deep leagues for sure but looked decent in relief, fanning 7 in 4 innings of relief and might get a start this week

Jeff Zimmerman: Not yet but it wouldn’t take much in the current starting pitcher landscape

Paul Sporer: Hey everyone!

Zeff Jimmerman: So why isn’t Nestor Cortez on your Main Event team

Paul Sporer: RUDE!

Honkus Wagner: starting Morton & Blackburn tonight?

Paul Sporer: Yes for both

Faz: Who are a few 3b options likely available in 10 team points leagues that I should be targeting?

Jeff Zimmerman: Sorry for being a bit late.

Jeff Zimmerman:

Jeff Zimmerman: Those are the bid in the two 15-team Tout Wars leagues.

Guest: Who would you currently rather have (10-T points league): tanner houck or Ryan helsley

Jeff Zimmerman: Houck

Vic: E Duran or Luis G to replace Ozzie A. I have much IF flexibility in terms of position since I have Luis Urias.

Paul Sporer: Hello everyone!!

Jim Leyland Palmer: Would you actively target Robbie Ray as a buy low?

Paul Sporer: Not really, no. I don’t know how low you’re getting him and I don’t see a MAJOR surge incoming

Justin: Do you see Matt Chapman as a decent buy low?

Paul Sporer: In the hopes that he can add some AVG you mean? I’m not averse to buying if you need power, but I wouldn’t hold out for any sort of AVG spike

seth: Buehler droppable in a 15-team, no-IL (but deep bench) league?

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are the bids in the two 15-team mixed Tout Wars teams

Jeff Zimmerman:

Joe: Jesse Winker – drop or keep in a 14 team mixed league?

Jeff Zimmerman: Possible depending on the replacement

Jeff Zimmerman: He’s not someone that needs to be rostered at this point.
