Sunday Night Waiver Wire & FAAB Chat

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?

Jeff Zimmerman: As expected. One place off medaling in his relay. In the mile, he didn’t come in last. He barely got to state.

Struggling for an OF: Lots of OF injuries means digging deep into the AL wire. OBP league. Favorite 1 and 1b of this mess? A. Osuna, Haggerty, N. Lukes, Wenceel Perez, Jo Adell…

Jeff Zimmerman: Most of these guys have issues, especially with players coming and going to the IL. Right now, Osuna and Adell are the safest for playing time.

$11 Worth of Taco Bell: On average, how many places would you drop if you had to replace your top three outfielders with the Royals outfield?

Jeff Zimmerman: <the_limit_does_not_exist.gif>

Dennis: What to do with Logan Henderson? Drop or hold?

Jeff Zimmerman: It comes down to league depth. I’m holding where there are no options, but in shallow leagues, I’m taking a chance on other arms.

Double Steal: Abel or Zebby ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: Abel but I feel this is close to 50/50

Justin Henry Malfoy: Is clay holmes for David bednar a fair trade in NL only?

Jeff Zimmerman: Sure, especially if the one team needs Saves

AL Only: Appreciate you doing this, Jeff. Roster crunch and need to drop one. Schneemann or Clemens?

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes on both. Clemens is likely a platoon streamer and just 4 righties this week

Jeff Zimmerman: Schmeeman is not a good player. A fine fill in but I’d alway be looking to upgrade

Eye in the Sky: Did Slade’s start yesterday mute any of your interest? I have him rostered in a 14 team 5×5 but looking @ some Edward Cabrera, Chad Patrick, maybe even AJ Blubaugh replacements. Thanks–

Jeff Zimmerman: No. The best stats to use in a small sample K%-BB% and botOvr still look great compared to your other options.

Steve: 12-team points, QS. Cole Ragans coming off IL. Need to cut one: Matthews, Lugo, Valdez, Gore, Horton, Roupp – Pitchers. Or Buxton, Volpe, Meadows – hitters (bench) Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman: Horton or Lugo

Guest: Who would you drop: Slade Cecconi, Tyler Anderson, Colton Gordon? Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman: Anderson

ButterRum: Expecting Meadows back in from IL in active lineup this week?

Jeff Zimmerman: Sort of. I’m not 100% counting on him, but using him as my bench backup.

JoeG14: Bid for Addison Bargaer and drop Goodman ? I’m already using Agustin Ramirez at my One C position. 12T Roto

Jeff Zimmerman: Sure

Matty G: Stashing Jacob Misiorowski in a 12-team H2H, but what should I realistically expect to get, aside from rookie nerves and control issues, if he does get called up?  Drop for Kyle Harrison or Mick Abel tonight?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’d roster Harrison and Abel over him. The control issue are real

Greg: Can you rank these waiver wire SP ? Weathers, Birdsong, and Bassit

Jeff Zimmerman: That’s the order

D’Oh!: AL only league with a 3 man bench. How long do I hold Chandler Simpson? He was winning me saves…

Jeff Zimmerman: Saves????

Jeff Zimmerman: You will be waiting for an injury for suckitude with someone on Tampa

Cheese: Points league.  Drop Taillon for E Cabrera?

Jeff Zimmerman: No, especially in a Roto league. Cabrera’s 1.42 WHIP will do as much ratio damage as a 5.05 ERA

Mario: Is there a unheralded AAA bat, like Kayfus or Otto or Colby Thomas, you think is going to make impact soon?

Jeff Zimmerman: Add Anthony Seigler to your list

D’Oh!: Haha. I guess I was thinking about Chandler Simpson saving my season and conflated the stats…

Jeff Zimmerman: Sure Jan

Andy: Luis Robert droppable in 12t? Barger and Rice available

Jeff Zimmerman: No

Stumble In: Probably won’t bid enough to win,  but what would be the max you would spend, if any, to go from Norby to Barger and Cam Smith to Wallner?

Jeff Zimmerman: 2% to 3% each

Alec Leamas: Macallan 18. Be good to yourself.🙂

Jeff Zimmerman: Tell Appelmen to give me a raise. I’m waiting for the new Markers Mark to come out

big timmy: drop will warren for mccullers or roupp?

Jeff Zimmerman: Roupp but I’d try for all three

Alec Leamas: Thairo Estrada worth 20% of FAB?

Jeff Zimmerman: No maybe 2%

Limatime: Any change of heart with what you’ve seen with Hayden Birdsong over the past few starts?

Jeff Zimmerman: I didn’t say I didn’t like him, I was not a fan of dropping 20% of my budget on him. His been able to keep the walks in check

Dan in TX: Expect CES to be recalled next week?

Jeff Zimmerman: It may be this weekend. The last I read said he will get a few more PA

Toolsy: Is bryce miller even worth keeping on a 12 team roster?

Jeff Zimmerman: I would not

Old Man Pitching: Old dogs learning new tricks: Do you like either Adrian Houser or Ryan Yarbrough?

Jeff Zimmerman: Good enough to stream against weak opponents. I have both in my bid lists

Jay: What do you expect from Cole Young?  Legit keeper in a dynasty?

Jeff Zimmerman: I don’t know. Projections hate him and could be a Steven Kwan clone at best, good AVG, some HR, above-average stolen bases.

Jeff Zimmerman: I need to run a specific query on him once we’re done. I’ll post it on BlueSky

Jimmy: Hi Jeff. Always a pleasure.  Am I dropping Bryce Miller for Sawyer-Gibson. Bieber Harrison or Yarborough.   I think Miller is way more hurt than they are letting on.   Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes on the drop. They say he will pitch with bone spur

Porcho Villa: Who’s the best bet purely for SB (5×5 H2H): Victor Scott, Xavier Edwards, Meidroth, or (gasp) Jorge Mateo?

Jeff Zimmerman: Scott but Mateo has been stealing at every opportunity

G Money: Does Roupp keep the gig over Harrison?

Jeff Zimmerman: Roupp has been solid.

Jeff Zimmerman: Verlander might be the worst of the group: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&lg=all&type=1&s…

JT: Is Bubba Chandler an add over B. Miller, A. Nola or B. Ober if he ever gets called up ?

Jeff Zimmerman: Miller

Mark: Andrew Painter worth a flyer this year?

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes, I expect him up by the ASG

Look At This Sotograph: Rate Correa, Semien, BLowe in redraft H2H? Let’s say I’m punting steals

Jeff Zimmerman: Lowe, Correa, Semien

Jon: picked up marcus semien. Is he worth much ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’m not sure, he might just be done

Ryan: Always appreciate you doing these.  Which whiskey you got tonight?  
We expecting anything from cowser? Or arrighetti whenever he comes back?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’m doing the infinity bottle and seltzer. The bottle was full, so I needed to drink some.

Jeff Zimmerman: Cowser is a must-add to see what happens. I am worried a bit on the playing time.

ross: Drop Luis Robert for Meadows?

Jeff Zimmerman: Sure

Chip Dipson: Doval and R. Garcia are available in my 12 team mixed; Weaver is my 2nd closer ATM; what kind of bids should I be making?

Jeff Zimmerman: These could be all over the place depending on the league’s activity.

Jeff Zimmerman: 3% to 15%

KC: Any opinion on Canario? Him vs Kjerstad, Morel, Waters?

Jeff Zimmerman: I like Waters first and then Canario

Ldub: Looking to add Barger…who do I drop?  T. Ward, Bohm or Frelich. Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman: If you have to, Bohm but I’d stand put

Look At This Sotograph: Drop one of EdCab, WWarren, Weathers, Yarbrough? 12T redraft, K/BB, QS not W’s

Jeff Zimmerman: Cabrera

Alex: what would you do with Michael Harris in a 12-team keeper league? OF is struggling and also have Bryan Reynolds. Waiver wire options are not robust

Jeff Zimmerman: I’m holding. In the leagues I have him, I need a HR and he’s one of the few who could provide it

Living Dangerously: Better ROS outlook in a 5×5, Kumar Rocker or Edward Cabrera?  Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman: Rocker

larry: Would you drop N. Martinez for Roupp

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes

In need of Saves: Think Kopech gets some chances when he comes back??

Jeff Zimmerman: No

Grote: Max Meyer two step (CO/TB) or Cade Horton (Nats/Tigers)?

Jeff Zimmerman: Both

Jeff Zimmerman: Meyer

SS help: Which of these do you like more for this season only and in a keep forever dynasty?  Adames, volpe, winn, lawlar?

Jeff Zimmerman: Volpe for both

Guest: Who gets called back up first Simpson or Henderson

Jeff Zimmerman: Henderson

Yuke: Will Knack stick in LAD rotation?

Jeff Zimmerman: No idea here, let me see of the team made a call yet

Joe: are you buying the Carlos rodon start to the season?

Jeff Zimmerman: He’s done it before. Now, will he do it again

Come back?: Any chance Shane McClanahan comes back this season? When do you think?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’d not worry about it. Take a look at the guys coming back sooner like Bieber and Painter

ryan: wil warren or cecconi ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: Warren

ATA Boy: Why Barger is not on your hiters Faab list? its over 40%? How would you rank him in this week list?

Jeff Zimmerman: Over the 40% and I would not have ranked him too high.

Guest: Time to give up on Vientos?

Jeff Zimmerman: It’s getting there

Jeff Zimmerman: I have him in a couple early DC’s and he’s not helping. He seemed to trade off for Contact% and gave up some power

Cut bait: Time to cut bait on India?

Jeff Zimmerman: Definitely a streaming option at this point. His position flexibility helps in deeper leagues.

Should i believe?: I have both M Vargas and E Suarez and am mulling dealing Suarez for pitching help since he has the name recognition. Confident banking on Vargas to hold down 3B for me capably?

Jeff Zimmerman: I wouldn’t be confident on either one

billyhaze: Thoughts on Toronto’s Roden , his 2nd time around ,Toronto, He was raking in Buffalo,

Jeff Zimmerman: My issue with Toronto is how the playing time will work out.

Jeff: Expectations for Eury Perez and Bubba Chandler? Which guy would you rather have ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: … Chandler but I’d probably grind pitchers to hit on someone before they get promoted.

12T OBP: Is Ben Rice still worthy of holding?  Yankees are run by monkeys.

Jeff Zimmerman: It’s tough and going to get tougher with Stanton coming back

Skiptothelou: David Fry and his multi position eligibility.  Will Cleveland start to play him?

Jeff Zimmerman: He’ll only DH but has catcher eligibility.

Jeff Zimmerman: Thanks for showing up this evening. I’ll get the Young comp out in a bit
