Jeff Zimmerman

Welcome everyone and I hope to get to as many questions as possible.
Corey

League draft is after the season starts, should I be able to draft Kingery in our minor league draft or do you think all should be able to bid on him in the major league auction??
Jeff Zimmerman
7:30
Bid in the MLB section. If owners want him, they should be able to ante up any amount during the auction.

Strongest pre-season pitcher add: Boxberger, Junis, Yates rkt
Jeff Zimmerman
7:30
Boxberger until AZ bullpen has been situated.
LudeBurger
7:30
I don't draft until Wednesday :( but I am really looking forward to my first one in 4 years
Jeff Zimmerman
7:31
Have fun.
LudeBurger
7:31
this is a great idea!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:31
Thanks. Let us know of any suggestions to improve it.

Vlad Jr. & Tatis Jr. - either worth a hold in deep bench re-draft league?  Am I hoping for too much too soon (like Aug/Sep call-up)?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:32
I think a late-season call-up is possible. The Jays and Padres don't expect to be contenders so they don't have a reason to rush them this year. I do expect the pair to contribute in '19
Steve
7:33
Roster crunch time. Robles or Devers long term?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
Power vs. Speed. I'm a huge Robles fan so I would lean towards him.
Big Tuna
7:34
I'm in a 12 tm OPS with a 6 man bench. Should I pick up Eloy and stash him for his upside?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:34
I think so but I'd only carry one prospect.
Slapshot
7:35
Would you start Jackie Bradley Jr. or Bradley Zimmer as a 5th OF to begin the season in a standard 5x5 roto league?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
One sec ... I haven't looked at scedules yet.
7:37
Either one really. Maybe Zimmer vs Seattle (weaker staff)
Joe
7:37
Rick Porcello....what is this guy, really? He's not a perennial Cy Young contender but he's also not the 2017 version.  Somewhere in between right?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:38
Yes and will likely get 180 K's and 14 W's. He's an accumulator which can be useful. Just set him against tough opponents.
Big Tuna
7:38
Can make one waiver claim in a 12 team OPS league. Would you go for Derek Fisher, Winker, Cron or Moran?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:39
Fisher (best player) then Moran (will play). You may need to sit Fisher for a week or two as Houston's roles get worked out.
This is Lude-icris
7:40
In light of the Scott Kingery news how big should the bump up be in drafts this week?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:41
I'd look to own but would not count on him for production. He really doesn't have a spot to play. I think he will get overvalued.
Yoat
7:41
With Souza out, what do you see for Dyson
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
What Dyson has always been, around a .250 AVG, 0 HR, and 30 SB.
bdg
7:43
What does the crystal ball say about A. Toles this year?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:44
I'm not a fan. Low 20's HRs from a 1B just doesn't cut it.
Guest
7:44
Where does Kingery rank (overall and among 2B) now assuming he'll be up for the year?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:46
Using my rankings, probably around the 30th overall. https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/march-composite-rankings-second-base...
Kelly
7:46
Which prospect starting  in the minors do you think will have the biggest fantasy impact this year other that Ohtani and Acuna?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:46
Acuna ... easily.
Sunrise089
7:46
Playing FB for first time (very experienced with FF). 16 team H2H points league. In general do I want to rank hitters by wOBA (ignoring defense and not park adjusting) and pitchers by WAR (since quality and volume matters)? Hitters get -1 points per strikeout,  it
Jeff Zimmerman
7:48
Loaded question and the exact league setting matter a ton. I'd put the league settings into our auction calculator and use those this first season: https://www.fangraphs.com/auctiontool.aspx
Kelly
7:48
Who has a better fantasy year Torres, Jimenez, or Robles?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:49
Robles based on an easier path to majors since he's an OF. Only one guy has to get hurt to get called up.
Jesse
7:49
I decided to go heavy on starting pitchers in my 14 team H2H league, went with Miller and Kintzler for my 2 RPs to get the strong strikeouts. I still need saves tho, who's most likely to end up seeing saves that wasn't drafted?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:49
Keone Kela?
ChatzMcGee
7:50
How many closers (projected preseason) do you need to feel comfortable going into a season for Roto?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:50
10 team: 3
