$1000 budgets
7:31
Strickland for $300 is probably a little high but close for the league's depth
7:32
I picked up Duffy and Gsellman. I'm fairly aggressive early if I want a guy. Usually teams start out with timid bids
Curtis
7:32
Seriously worried about Franco's playing time with Kingery up. Feels like a swap for Matt Davidson or someone else on the wire is the right move. Thoughts? Generally play in 12 team mixed leagues (NFBC Online Championship).
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
It's a legit worry. I think I'd move quickly to another full-time starter.
Boom
7:33
Add Ianetta????
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
Context .....please.
Pie
7:34
Is Keynan Middleton worth a speculative pickup in a 12 or 15 team mixed?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:34
He's worth a stash for sure. He's got to control the HR's this year.
Pie
7:34
Is Claudio worth owning in a 15 team mixed, or should I cut bait for a better saves spec?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
Some team in a 15-team league should have him ... it might now be your team. If you think there is a better option drop him and move on.
First
7:35
What widely owned catchers might have changed your mind this week, that you would want to own?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:37
I'm only looking at lineups right now with catchers or any hitters. Nothing else can be determined from three games.
Ryan
7:37
On the catcher-carousel already this year... who do you like, out of d'Arnaud, Hedges, Avila as a short-term bet?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:37
Avila for me.
Steve
7:37
I pretty much decided not to go after Ohtani because I expected around 140-150 innings. Should that continue to be the projection? Looked great today
Jeff Zimmerman
7:38
It's going to be tough to reach anything more than 150 IP with a 6-man rotation.
Daniel
7:38
Jeff, I used Depth Charts projections to evaluate each team in my league. Is there a good method I could use to isolate which team is the best and worst? I was thinking std.dev. Not a big stats guy
Jeff Zimmerman
7:39
Probably the best method. You can use the ROS projections to get an idea of the future.
Marko
7:39
Is Matt Chapman a top 12 3B in OBP leagues?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:41
Not even close. He might not even be a CI in that shallow of a league
FantasyMeetsReality
7:41
Pick 2 of these SPs for full year potential in a H2H points league: Musgrove, Mikolas, McCarthy, Skaggs or C. Richard?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:41
Richards ...... Skaggs, Musgrove ...... Mikolas .... McCarthy
Rickon
7:42
Who's the best replacement for DeShields in OBP leagues? AVG has Peraza, Mallex, etc.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
Mallex but tough call
Rickon
7:42
Aaron Hicks was batting fifth before injury (1 game). Is he worth a DL stash?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
Yes, if available. The RBIs could be huge.
B. Ryce Hammer's Luscious Locks
7:42
Start Garret Richards vs. Cleveland or Godley vs LAD this coming week? Am I dumb to need to ask this question?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:43
Both .... Richards but close
Noah
7:43
how much risk is too much risk in a pitching staff? 3 DL slots, my pitchers are Severino, Syndergaard, McCullers, Hill, Paxton, Aaron Sanchez, and Tanaka. Are there really any stable arms?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:45
All arms have risk. Owners can't get away from it. Risk tolerance to me only depends on replacement level. The higher the replacement level, the more risk I take on.
Okra
7:45
I'm seeing rather different velocity readings from pitch f/x and baseball info solutions on the player pages.  One says Kershaw's fastball is down 1.5mph and the other only 0.2mph.  Why is this and which is more accurate?  Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:46
Always trust Brooks (IMO) and they have ....
... nothing ... great ...
