Cito’s Mustache: Need a replacement for Oberg in standard roto. Davis, Hudson, N Anderson, Lugo, or Romo. Thanks as always, Jeff.

Jeff Zimmerman: Davis, Hud, Lugo, Romo, and Anderson being Saves centric

Ronny: Any deep league waiver wire adds for teams needing HRs?

Jeff Zimmerman: Ty France and Corban Joseph

Jon: What widely available waiver wire player would be the best bet for stolen bases the remainder of the season?

Jeff Zimmerman: Edman, Rojas, Lopes (Sea)

Cito’s Mustache: Which one of these three are you starting next week? 14-team points league. Vargas @ MIA, Mikolas vs COL, Webb @ OAK.

Jeff Zimmerman: Vargas probably. All three are nice matchups

Porcho Villa: The DL runneth over. In a 12-team H2H, which two would you cut bait on: Glasnow, Woodruff, Stanton, Kluber, Encarnacion, or Mondesi?

Jeff Zimmerman: Woodruff. I for sure keep Mondesi, Stanton and Kluber. They are the difference makers

Cito’s Mustache: I need to drop 1 when Cruz returns off the IL: Schwarber (is he sitting against all LHP?), JD Davis, or Tauchman. Roto w/ AVG & OBP, thanks Jeff.

Jeff Zimmerman: Probably Tauchman. Track Davis’s playing time closely

cavebird: Help!  I just traded keepers at the trade deadline in my league to make a run and had a good chance to gain four or five points in saves by ending up with four closers.  Those are points I need to win.  I just had a brutal 24 hours losing Doolittle indefinitely and Oberg for the season.  We are a deep league with 16 teams and 5 RP-only slots, so most options are taken.  I have Nick Anderson to slot in and can hope he gets a few saves, but is there anyone out there who is a deep sleeper for saves in the last six weeks of the season?

Jeff Zimmerman: Matt Magill

Rocco: Is this a McMahon breakout or just a hot streak in COL?

Mistro: Am I right to balk at picking up Marwin Gonzalez? Is he helpful on a contending team in an AL only or is he just a guy?

Jeff Zimmerman: No idea, I have no inside info

The Drake: Corey Dickerson or Marwin Gonzalez ros

Jeff Zimmerman: Someone else? I’d go with Dickerson but I don’t like it.

Mark : In a league that counts QS, do you have confidence in starting McKay this week?

Jeff Zimmerman: He’s close to must start for me. There is so much bad pitching out there.

Mark : Do you think Mike Montgomery can sustain this type of success ?

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes

Todd Gak: How do you value Games Played over a 7 day period? Would you play a Delino Deshields (8 games) over a more established hitter, say Corey Dickerson, who might only have 5 games this week?

Jeff Zimmerman: For sure, in my book, there are way too many pages on the difference.

Larry: Hudson look like a decent bet to grab the closer role and run with it in Washington?

Jeff Zimmerman: Agree

Mike: need to fill a utility in a deep league Galvis, Rojas, Duffy, A Frazier, tellez, C Joseph are all options

Jeff Zimmerman: I like the upside of Rojas the most.

Two catchers?: Points league playoffs. Semis are two weeks. My catcher is Ramos. Do you think it’s worth picking up a second catcher for his off and rest days? Options are Sisco, Jansen, Suzuki, B. McCann, Wolters, Castillo, Phegley, and Severino. Who do you like? (Top 3)

Jeff Zimmerman: I like the option of getting Sisco and Severino and then always have a C. I’d take Castillo if going with Ramos

catzdogz: Any catchers worth bidding more than 1% on? Have $6 FAAB left after starting with $100

Jeff Zimmerman: No, maybe SEA’s Nola if he’s C eligible.

Dannodo: What are your thoughts on National’s late inning relief situation?  Any under the radar set up men you feel are under owned in mixed leagues that are under owned?  Thanks!

Jeff Zimmerman: I like Hudson best, then Strickland.

Chucky: Not sure what all the hubbub is all about Josh Rojas. Having said that, am I swapping out Rojas for either Ian Happ or Marwin? Love Marwin’s upcoming week and need an OFer in H2H.

Jeff Zimmerman: Most of the Rojas love comes from his SB’s. I’d swap Marwin for Rojas in a Roto format. Keep Gonzalez in a points league

RMR: Drop Rogers or colome for bradley?

Jeff Zimmerman: Your kind of rearranging deck chairs. Maybe take the one with the easiest opponents and most games.

Mike: Drop Stripling for Gonsolin

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes

Ryan: 3 weeks left in my regular season and need to make a push to make playoffs now. Have 2 DL spots for Severino, Ray, and Encarnacion. Who would you drop?

Jeff Zimmerman: Severino, he’s likely headed to the bullpen

Sammi Durante’s large shnoz: Need to take a flyer on a 2B for next year…who would you take out of Kevin Newman, Niko Goodrum, Nicki Lopez, or Josh VanMeter?

Jeff Zimmerman: Newman or VanMeter

MikeyN: AL only, Carrasco worth a drop for Plutko?

Jeff Zimmerman: Carrasco is being prepped for the bullpen (Athletic article?).

Jward : Weak at 1B. Any love for Kevin Cron I’m points league dynasty. He should be up again soon. Long term??

Jeff Zimmerman: The Angels have too many 1B, such a mess

Shaun: Was going to pitch Keller next week if he had a good showing tonight. He did not. Stick with him or swap to Allard, Quantrill, or Ross?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’d go with Allard or Ross

Crudelamens: Please rank Galvis, J Rojas, France, and Berti. Or use my claim on encarnacion since I have playoffs licked up?

Jeff Zimmerman: Rojas, France, Berti, Galvis

MikeyN: What are your thoughts on Jace Peterson ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: He’s OK, He just doesn’t play enough

Rookie SPs: Who do you like Gonsolin or Webb for ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: Webb. I think he may pitch more.

Philip Christy: Kyle Gibson or Mike Montgomery ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: Gibson, he’s going to rack up wins with the Twins O

Carlos: Deep and ultra-competitive dynasty league keeper shortstop in a points league: Amed Rosario or Jean Segura?

Jeff Zimmerman: Segura

Rocco: Start McKay this week vs SEA and DET?  In a tight Era / whip race and don’t want to take any backward steps

Jeff Zimmerman: Yep. If you don’t start him against the league’s two biggest cream puffs, then just drop him.

the dude: Think Mike Trout is due for some regression? 9 years of an OPS above 1.000 is unsustainable.

Jeff Zimmerman: Next week

Todd Gak: Corban Joseph worth a flyer? Those numbers in the minors pop.

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes, depending on league depth

Joe: Yarbrough or Odorizzi 12 team cats h2h ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: Yarbrough

Edwin: How much playing time will Rojas get?  4 out of 5 starts? more? less?

Jeff Zimmerman: Might sit against lefties or full-time starter

Pedro: Is Dustin May worth holding onto?  Is he done starting for the year, you think?

Jeff Zimmerman: He’s a drop

Ryan: Who do you like best at utility in a traditional 5×5 league: Cron, Pederson, or Schwarber?

Jeff Zimmerman: Cron

Sammi Durante’s large shnoz: Would you support MLB adopting a relegation system to keep teams from purposely tanking and possibly rewarding great supportive AAA towns/teams with the influx of cash that comes with profit sharing?

Jeff Zimmerman: Sorry sir, this is a fantasy chat.

Jeff Zimmerman: The queue has dried up.

Jeff Zimmerman: I’ll talk to everyone next week.
