Sunday Night Waiver Wire & FAAB Chat

Jeff Zimmerman: Welcome everyone to the season’s possible final chat.

Jeff Zimmerman: I may do one during the Sunday games next weekend, but the main side will host one if any of the races aren’t decided

Jeff Zimmerman: Here are all the FAAB bids this week from Tout Wars

Jeff Zimmerman:

Guest: 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

Jeff Zimmerman: I think so, but you might need to ask Justin Mason

Maestro: 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?

Jeff Zimmerman: I think they’ll be on an 80 pitch, 5 IP limit

Jeff Zimmerman: The deal is that all pitchers are this way.

brad: any news on votto or rodon?

Jeff Zimmerman: None and I’d like info on both. Sucks

Rand: 5 x 5 roto, who do you prefer among Josh Harrison, Farmer or K. Hayes for a CI spot?

Jeff Zimmerman: Harrison for me, leading off and not sitting with Lowire and Andrus hurt

Craig: Rest of the season (1-2 starts): JA Happ or Jake Woodford? Need WHIP & IP. Thanks.

Jeff Zimmerman: Just those 2, Happ. He doesn’t provide help in ERA and K’s, but those don’t matter to you

Joe: 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 ?

Jeff Zimmerman: I’m digging also. Isbel of KC is one. Razzball has Taveras and Anthony Alford as decent options.

Jeff Zimmerman: https://www.fangraphs.com/auctiontool.aspx?type=bat&proj=rfangraphsdc&…

Jeff Zimmerman: Amed Rosario available?

Jeff Zimmerman: Of the ones you listed, Yonny

Game 163: Anyone worth stashing for a potential game 163?

Jeff Zimmerman: If you have the space, go with relievers.

Jeff Zimmerman: One option is load up on Cards and Cubs for their makeup game

frank: 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

Jeff Zimmerman: I think he does. They won’t throw until Friday, so he’ll have plenty of rest

Playing for keeps: 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?

Jeff Zimmerman: Rainey and Bender out of that group.

Jeff Zimmerman: Just look for FA closers

frank: Cobb, Baz, Ryan, Senzatela, Singer. Who are your top 2

Jeff Zimmerman: For this week: Singer and Cobb

Jeff Zimmerman: For next season: Ryan and Baz

brad: is greinke back this week?

Jeff Zimmerman: I think so, but I bet he goes a short distance into the start

Jeff Zimmerman: Same with Odorizzi

Seanold: No question from me this week, thanks for all the help throughout the season. Enjoy the offseason!

Jeff Zimmerman: Thanks for showing up.

Jeff Zimmerman: We are 15 minutes into the chat and there are no more questions. If that’s it, I’ll shut it down

Jeff Zimmerman: BTW, if you haven’t yet, read this article on Phill Dussault by Travis Sawchik

Jeff Zimmerman: Phil is having one of the best fantasy seasons ever.

Jeff Zimmerman: https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2197422/best-fantasy-baseball-season…

Rand: Which two for this week do you like among Otto vs LAA, Hendricks at Pitt, Morgan at Texas, Wood vs. Arizona?

Jeff Zimmerman: I debated these already today. Wood, Otto, Hendricks, Morgan.

Joe: Would love to get a hold of his “system”

Jeff Zimmerman: The key with the system is then believing and following it. Most people will add their own 2 cents and break it

Joe: Ober Singer or Gilbert this week?

Jeff Zimmerman: Singer, Ober, Gilbert

Rand: Thanks for all your thoughts this season

Jeff Zimmerman: You’re welcome

Joe: Phil is a beast!

Jeff Zimmerman: Yes, yes he is

frank: votto, eduardo escobar, b. rodgers, a meadows, bader…need 2..avg and homers only

Jeff Zimmerman: Rodgers (week’s 1H) and Meadows (2H) for one player

Jeff Zimmerman: Escobar for the other one

frank: whip, wins, Ks…Rodon, S Gray, Singer, Cobb, Urquidy, Ynoa.Top 2 for the week.. Thanks for all the work this year helped me have another big year

Jeff Zimmerman: Singer and Cobb. Urquidy over Cobbb if he makes 2 starts.

Tommy: Which of these pitchers do you have some belief in for next year? Eric Lauer, Ranger Suarez, Domingo German, Quantrill, and Alex Cobb.

Jeff Zimmerman: Cobb,, Suarez, Lauer

Tommy: And a huge thank you for all the work this year!!

Jeff Zimmerman: Thanks

Jimmy: Need wins and not to tank era and whip. Pick 1: Stroman, Cobb, Baz, Singer, DeScalfani or Ynoa?

Jeff Zimmerman: There is no one perfect for this combo. I’d go with Singer and Stroman with the decent 2-start weeks

Julio: Stephenson top 10 catcher next year?

Jeff Zimmerman: Possibly. Barnhart is loved by the pitchers, so he might start half the time

Frank: Razor thin lead for me in ERA in my NL only 5X5.  Pick 3 to start out of Stroman, Walker, Wood, Mikolas, Weaver

Jeff Zimmerman: Stroman, Wood, Walker

Jack Straw: 5×5 AL only roto, please rank the following to start this final week among P. Gosselin, K. Isbel, N. Solak, A. Ibanez, G. Urshela – need to start 3.

Jeff Zimmerman: Solak, Urshela ……. Gosselin

Jeff Zimmerman: Well, the queue has dried up again, so I’ll close down the chat.
