Guest: Will Smith, dArnaud, or Nola behind the plate?

Jeff Zimmerman: aArnaud

fed: McKenzie or Dakota Hudson for this week?

Jeff Zimmerman: Hudson

Jeff Zimmerman: but I don’t feel great about the 2-step

Fangraph’s Lurker: Victor Robles droppable at this point? Tapia, Hillard, and Swaggerty all look like better options

Jeff Zimmerman: I would not drop him

jake: What is up with the giants bullpen… who u picking out of Coonrod Watson Rogers and Garcia

Jeff Zimmerman: I think Rogers based on the usage pattern

jake: Expect Rosenthal to get saves in SD?

Jeff Zimmerman: Not many with Pomeranz back

jake: Who’s the new closer in KC? Staumont, Barlow, Holland?

Jeff Zimmerman: Sounds like Holland from Matheny’s quotes

Fleece Johnson: Any catchers besides Stassi we should be targeting when trying to stream steals?

Jeff Zimmerman: Velazquez

jake: Candelario legit?

Jeff Zimmerman: He seems to have gotten it together … I’m buying

jake: Pillar worth an add deep 12 teamer?

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes but there is a chance he gets moved to be a 4th OF

Guest: Who do you like ROS between Mize, Dunning, and Deivi Garcia?

Jeff Zimmerman: Mize for me

AJ: Best source of steals rest of year: Berti, Quinn, or Haggerty?

Jeff Zimmerman: When playing, it’s Berti

jake: Thoughts on Kuhl w/ a 2 start week this week?

Jeff Zimmerman: In leagues where I need counting stats, I’m using him.

Jeff Zimmerman: There is a chance he could be traded

Dan: Chris Bassitt looks like toast. In a 14-team pitching heavy league I’m thinking of dropping him for Jonathan Hernandez. JH will help ratios and may scavenger wins. Only downside a loss of IP. Time to make a move? Thanks for the Sunday night chat. Always great.

Jeff Zimmerman: There has to be other options like Margevicius avalable

jake: Rowdy Tellez production gonna continue?

Jeff Zimmerman: If he plays

Margevicius is Delicious: Taveras or Haggerty?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’d go with Haggerty based on lineup position but by EOS, Taveras could over take him

Margevicius is Delicious: Dunning or Pineda?

Jeff Zimmerman: Pineda but I’d try for both

LFC Mike: Hi Jeff. Could you rank for rest of season please: Ian Anderson, T McKenzie, D Dunning, C Mize. Thank You

Jeff Zimmerman: Anderson, McK, Mize Dunning

Graham: drop eugenio Suarez for Evan Longoria?

Jeff Zimmerman: No … god no.

Margevicius is Delicious: Fleming or Bubic?

Jeff Zimmerman: Fleming I think

big mac: Dylan carlson or brandon Rodgers

Jeff Zimmerman: Neither, but Carlson if I must

Baseball Yeti: How did everything go with the poison ivy structure?

Jeff Zimmerman: We are waiting to burn part of it … one of his helpers is in horrible shape

Stu: Drop Goodwin for Heyward or Reddick?

Jeff Zimmerman: Heyward but JBJ rates out good for this week,

Dave: Need to improve ratios (H2H): Tyler Rogers or Daniel Bard ROS (either guy is a third closer)? Thanks Jeff.

Jeff Zimmerman: Roger for me.

Pride of Princeton: With the Covid case in Oakland how would you play this week? Sit Oak hitters and/or their opponents (Seattle hitters)?

Jeff Zimmerman: Wait for more news but have bench backups

Guest: is pagan a drop?

Jeff Zimmerman: I think so

Guest: Mountcastle worth a pickup and play over K Marte? What’s wrong with K Marte, anyway?

Jeff Zimmerman: No and not sure. His price was too high for me in drafts

Jeff Zimmerman: He’s fine IMO after looking over his stats.

Tom Emanski: Plesac a must add in a 10 team league where available?  I’m assuming if Clev is dealt it wouldn’t be for a major league pitcher

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes

MN: <$50 avail and need SP help. AL only. Fleming or Margevicius?

Jeff Zimmerman: $5 on either one

Cole Powered: Mitch Moreland or Eric Thames?

Jeff Zimmerman: Moreland for now. It sounds like he’ll hit most days.

franklin: any word on injured guys like Dylan moore or buxton?

Jeff Zimmerman: Nothing … it seems like the reporters are more interested in trades. I expect to hear some more after it passes.

jake: Profar and France droppable in all formats with Moreland trade?

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes

mariners: Justus Sheffield streamable in 12 teamers?

Jeff Zimmerman: I think he’s an 80% starter

Jeff Zimmerman: Just LAD, at COL and maybe HOU scare me

Nannette: For saves… Soto, Jeffress, Wick, Romo or Holland?

Jeff Zimmerman: Wick Romo, Holland, Soto Jefferess

Guest: Seems like Gore won’t get the call. Do think he be of no use in big show?

Jeff Zimmerman: He might not be able to hit alternate camp pitching

jo: lugo ever gonna pitch long enough for a W?

Jeff Zimmerman: maybe for a week or two

Jeff: Need another bat off bench: Longoria or Candelario ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: Candelario

Closer Fog: Hello. Trevor Rosenthal is one of my Closers. Now with the trade I have a quandary. Keep him and hope he has at least a shared role in SD,OR Pick up either Bard or Givens in Colo (another foggy situation), OR choose Buck Farmer or Greg Soto in Detroit and does Detr ever get a save anyway? Help, oh wise one!

Jeff Zimmerman: I like Soto of the choices

jake: Jo Adell droppable?

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes, seems lost

MN: Because it’s trade deadline week!….Giving up Rosenthal and Santander for CBiggio and Montas (AL Only). Fair?

Jeff Zimmerman: I love the Biggio and montas side

Alex Wood: Keep Me or go after Gonsolin, Senzatella, Kuhl or Young?

Jeff Zimmerman: Golsolin and Young

Guest: which C ROS?  Kiner falefa or Severino?

Jeff Zimmerman: Depends if you need steals (Kiner) or power. Also, I’m not 100% sure if Severino is back off the IL

feddy: why gonsolin and young over senzatela… everything i’ve seen points to senzatela

Jeff Zimmerman: No way I’m owning a subpar COL pitcher

Sixto: Sixto or Corbin Burnes this week only?

Jeff Zimmerman: Burnes with the matchup at Pitt

jake: This week, I lost WHIP by 0.001701573430247, but Anthony Bass got me a win to win wins despite choking, and I won average bc my opponent benched Votto last two days

Jeff Zimmerman: Nice

D: Are you moving on from Dylan Carlson and Jo Adell ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes

Fleece Johnson: Do you think Chase Anderson or Tony Disco could be a decent 1-day stream tomorrow in daily moves?

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes on both, but Disco way over Chase. Also, Chase might not be for teams hoping to maintain their ratios

jake: Matty Boyd with 2 decent starts in a row… is he streamable again?

Jeff Zimmerman: Sure and wait…

Jeff Zimmerman: and I’m worried he’s getting too much of the plate

Jeff Zimmerman: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/matthew-boyd/15440/heat-maps?positio…

Taco Toby: Is Garrett Hampson still a good stash for steals? Or do you prefer picking up someone like Haggerty, Gimenez, Tapia, etc.? Rockies do have a long mid-Sept homestand coming up

Jeff Zimmerman: I like Haggerty and Tapia for the simple reason … they are playing. Hampson isn’t stealing anything from the bench

Graham: is cookie Carrasco back or was it a mirage? Civale?

Jeff Zimmerman: He’s going to have some hiccups but I’m rolling him out everyweek

jake: is it crazy to drop nimmo for Quinn, Tapia, Haggaerty, Pillar, or Goodwin

Jeff Zimmerman: Not crazy but not advisable

Jeff Zimmerman: I think he’s more of bench than a drop

Brandon: What are you expectations for Ian Anderson?  What % of FAAB are you bidding?

Jeff Zimmerman: About like the bids in the Tout Wars leagues listed above. 10% to 20% of the original total.

Ramie Shalabi: How hard is regression coming for Randy Dobnak?

Jeff Zimmerman: A 61% GB% is completely playable

Jeff Zimmerman: Few of the high GB% pitcher are getting lit up:

Jeff Zimmerman: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y…

jake: how many bench spots are there in tout wars/NFBC? I only have 3 in my league, and everybody uses them on pitchers

Jeff Zimmerman: Tout is 6 plus unlimited IL. NFBC is 7, no IL, and there are mid-week hitter replacements so owners can try to gain there.

jake: why is lux not a wallet buster

Jeff Zimmerman: He should already be owned in all leagues

WWYD: Montas for McCullers/Ozuna?  Keeper points league.

Jeff Zimmerman: Ozuna side

Guest: is Madrigal must-own in 10 teamers?

Jeff Zimmerman: Only if someone really needs AVG and steals. In a 10-team, I expect there are better options

Wizard of Oz: Doesn’t seem like Ozzie Albies will be back in the foreseeable future, is he still worth rostering in 12 team (5×5) roto? Following players available: Arranez, Camargo, L. Garcia, Hoerner, and Solano.

Jeff Zimmerman: Those listed are difference makers. Hold Albies or at least try to trade him.

Cito: Would you start Nimmo over JDM in a weekly points league or is that a stretch?

Boston Masacre: Do you see anything wrong with JD Mart?

Jeff Zimmerman: I like JDM, but something seems off. Power down … well maybe

Jeff Zimmerman: Whoa, only a 110 mph max EV. He’s aged or hurt

BMB: Would you trade Bichette for Springer & Jansen in a points league?  Bichette was raking before the injury.

Jeff Zimmerman: For 2020, get Springer and Jansen

Brian: Trade deadline in my dynasty league. 14 team h2h 6×6 total bases and batting avg. I’ve been offered Luis Robert for albies. I’m tempted. Thoughts?

Jeff Zimmerman: It’s fair IMO

Stu: Who would you drop first: Brett Anderson or Milone (who I wish didn’t make it to Philly for tonight’s game)?

Jeff Zimmerman: Anderson but I could be completely wrong

Me of little faith: I benched Paddack for his gem today, chance her burns me with 2 IP sinker next time out?

Jeff Zimmerman: He could but highly unlikely

Louie: Brady Singer or Dane Dunning rest of season?

Jeff Zimmerman: Dunning for the Wins

Yank’d off: Have these to choose from off the wire, Tanaka, Dobnak, Turnbull, Hill, Kikuchi, need 2.

Jeff Zimmerman: Nice waiver wire

Jeff Zimmerman: Tanaka and Kikuchi for this week

MN: With the Yankees looking to be aggressive for arms at the deadline is Loaisiga a lame pickup? Liked him before the Clev rumor

Jeff Zimmerman: You can do better than Loaisga

Trade Time Craziness: Need IF/OF flex help… who would you take from Ryan Mountcastle, Brian Anderson, Hunter Dozier?

Jeff Zimmerman: Dozier, Anderson, Mountcastle.

Benny and the Jets: Bets chance at saves Wick, Soto, Ty Roger, Holland?

Jeff Zimmerman: Wick

LFC Mike: Is it worth stashing any Braves prospects..Davidson or Muller given Milone is NO good. Being reported Cleveland wants Drew Waters for Clevinger

Jeff Zimmerman: Milone is better than most think. I wrote him up this week here at FG

Guest: Drop Josh Bell for Brandon Belt?

Jeff Zimmerman: I can’t believe I have to think about it.

Jeff Zimmerman: I think it’s Belt

Mondesi: Time to give up on me in 12 teamer?

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes unless you really need steals

Guest: T. Walker or Dobnak (5×5 we have QS not wins as a category)

Jeff Zimmerman: Dobnak and it’s not close. The trade ruined any fantasy value Walker had

Zorn: Assuming no trades, confidence level in Pressly being an effective closer ROS?

Jeff Zimmerman: High, I think he’s a great option

po jr: drop t la stella for candelario or longoria?

Jeff Zimmerman: If all three are out there, it’s fine to roster the one with the best matchups

DMoney: Any RP to target for current closers who might get dealt?

Jeff Zimmerman: None that I can think of.

Jeff Zimmerman: And that’s it for tonight. I need to catch up on the news and check my NFBC bids.
