: Welcome everyone to the season’s possible final chat.
|
| 7:31 |

|
| 7:32 |
: Here are all the FAAB bids this week from Tout Wars
|
| 7:32 |
: 
|
| 7:32 |
: Any idea if satellite entry winners of TGFBI get to return the following season if they win their individual league in the real thing? Asking for a friend
|
| 7:33 |
: I think so, but you might need to ask Justin Mason
|
| 7:33 |
: Am I right to be nervous about SPs on playoff bound teams not going more than 5 innings this week as they prepare for playoffs?
|
| 7:33 |
: I think they’ll be on an 80 pitch, 5 IP limit
|
| 7:33 |
: The deal is that all pitchers are this way.
|
| 7:34 |
: any news on votto or rodon?
|
| 7:35 |
: None and I’d like info on both. Sucks
|
| 7:35 |
: 5 x 5 roto, who do you prefer among Josh Harrison, Farmer or K. Hayes for a CI spot?
|
| 7:35 |
: Harrison for me, leading off and not sitting with Lowire and Andrus hurt
|
| 7:35 |
: Rest of the season (1-2 starts): JA Happ or Jake Woodford? Need WHIP & IP. Thanks.
|
| 7:36 |
: Just those 2, Happ. He doesn’t provide help in ERA and K’s, but those don’t matter to you
|
| 7:36 |
: One behind in steals going into last week. Who are the best steal streamers in last week regardless of position? Zimmer Yonny Hernandez Gimenez? Anyone else ?
|
| 7:38 |
: I’m digging also. Isbel of KC is one. Razzball has Taveras and Anthony Alford as decent options.
|
| 7:39 |
: Amed Rosario available?
|
| 7:39 |
: Of the ones you listed, Yonny
|
| 7:39 |
: Anyone worth stashing for a potential game 163?
|
| 7:40 |
: If you have the space, go with relievers.
|
| 7:40 |
: One option is load up on Cards and Cubs for their makeup game
|
| 7:41 |
: urquidy is scheduled for 2 starts will the final being last of the season. think he makes that start or do i go with cobb
|
| 7:41 |
: I think he does. They won’t throw until Friday, so he’ll have plenty of rest
|
| 7:42 |
: In a keeper league, I’m looking to stash an RP who might get a shot at a closer role next spring. Do you like any of Bender, Neris, Rainey? Other candidates?
|
| 7:42 |
: Rainey and Bender out of that group.
|
| 7:43 |
: Just look for FA closers
|
| 7:43 |
: Cobb, Baz, Ryan, Senzatela, Singer. Who are your top 2
|
| 7:43 |
: For this week: Singer and Cobb
|
| 7:43 |
: For next season: Ryan and Baz
|
| 7:44 |
: is greinke back this week?
|
| 7:45 |

|
| 7:45 |
: Same with Odorizzi

| 7:49 |
: I debated these already today. Wood, Otto, Hendricks, Morgan.
|
| 7:49 |
: Would love to get a hold of his “system”
|
| 7:50 |
: The key with the system is then believing and following it. Most people will add their own 2 cents and break it
|
| 7:50 |
: Ober Singer or Gilbert this week?
|
| 7:50 |
: Singer, Ober, Gilbert
|
| 7:50 |

|
| 8:00 |
: Stephenson top 10 catcher next year?
|
| 8:01 |
: Possibly. Barnhart is loved by the pitchers, so he might start half the time
|
| 8:01 |
: Razor thin lead for me in ERA in my NL only 5X5. Pick 3 to start out of Stroman, Walker, Wood, Mikolas, Weaver
|
| 8:01 |

Thanks for the article on Phil Dussault. I’m intrigued at how he landed on Robbie Ray and Kevin Gausman. I landed on those two in an AL only (where I’m in first place) and an NL only (where I’m in second place) purely by trying to price enforce in both cases. The league undervalued the two so severely that I wasn’t even trying to get them, I was just trying to elevate their prices a little bit.
