Schilling & Pence: Now that Zips projections are done, have the depth charts projections been updated?

Jeff Zimmerman: Let me look

Jeff Zimmerman: Not yet

Jeff Zimmerman: They probably will once ZiPs is added to the projection list

another bad dynasty manager: Hi Jeff: I’m in a 16 tm 12 kpr pts. league with a minimal deduction for Ks by batters (-.25).  I need to choose btw Laureano and C. Hernandez as my final keeper.  Hiura is on my prospect bench.  I traded away my first pick so I won’t be drafting until late in the second rd.  Thx for these Sun. night chats! (Other OFs that will be kprs: Hicks, Peralta, & Robles)

Jeff Zimmerman: I’d stick with Cesar. I see a bounce back after playing hurt for most of the 2018 season.

Brad Johnson: Ok, we’ll get started in a few moments.

Vic: Would you keep Almora in the 27th round of a 15 team mixed 5 x 5?

Brad Johnson: If there is no other opportunity cost, I’d probably strongly consider locking in the young OFer. That’s right around his ADP in a redraft, but his age maybe makes him a bit more interesting in a keep-for-awhile setting

DynastyStarter: How much auction $ would you spend on guys like Vlad/Soto/Acuna if you could keep them at zero cost forever after the initial start up dynasty draft? Stars/scrubs seems like the logical approach to me…Get as many as possible and piece together from there?

Brad Johnson: I can’t say for certain without seeing all your settings, but my inclination is to go heavy for those guys

Yuca Yuca: In a 12-team keep forever (up to 7), do you hold onto Ohtani and Mondesi?

Brad Johnson: We’ll get this thing going in a few minutes. I got lost in the news of the day and forgot to put this post together.

Brad Johnson: If you didn’t vote in this morning’s poll, I’d appreciate the info. https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/highly-custom-leagues-a-desirability-pol…

Big Apple: Do you buy into the Conforto breakout I’ve seen in numerous publications in 2019?

Brad Johnson: Wasn’t really a breakout. He was good. Then he played injured for half a season. Then he was good again. So I think he’s still a good player

Brad Johnson: You should expect more than his 2018 production but a little less than his second half production. That’s a very useful fantasy asset and better than his current ADP.

Reactionary: What does Padres infield look like now?  Does this delay Tatis?

Jeff Zimmerman: Hi everyone

Jeff Zimmerman: Here is a link to the draft:

Jeff Zimmerman: https://www.rtsports.com/labr-mixed-draft

Jeff Zimmerman: It looks like we have 15 minutes until the first pick

Jeff Zimmerman: 5 x 5 roto with average

Mike: Curious how far Lindor will fall.. if early indications are true and his ADP is around 16 ish, that’s right in the Fangraphs wheelhouse.. do they bite?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’ll go ahead and get started.

Jeff: Who is the better young catcher…Jansen or Mejia?  Who would you prefer to have in a keep forever league?

Jeff Zimmerman: This is close …. Mejia who I think as more upside. It’s catcher, so a replacement can be found if he flops.

Vic: Please rank for 2019-2023 total value:   Peraza, Odor, Andersen, Mazara, Laureano, Hampson, Profar.

Jeff Zimmerman: I need a ton more information like the league details to answer questions like this one.

Adam: Do you change anything about the way you calculate auction values in a H2H league as opposed to Roto? I figured using z-scores made more sense than SGP.

Brad Johnson: We’ll get started in a few moments.

Brad Johnson: I got hung up playing OOTP 19. It’s $4.99 on Steam today.

Filet-o-Marlins: Luis Garcia (WAS) or Nate Lowe in 12 team keep forever dynasty league?

Brad Johnson: EZ Garcia

Brad Johnson: Despite solid on field results, Lowe isn’t very highly regarded. I’ve yet to read a credible report that said “yep, this is definitely a MLBer”

Brad Johnson: Garcia has potential to become a top 25 prospect. He might already be a top 25 dynasty prospect.
