$1000 FAAB budget so owners may need to drop 1/5 of their FAAB to get Middleton
Steve

Barnes or Albers?
Barnes or Albers? (% of FAAB?)
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
Barnes and about 10%, 5% on Albers
Jeff
7:33
Thinking of picking up a SP, either Kennedy or Triggs - would have to drop either Buxton or McMahon.  Your thoughts?  Who would you pick up/drop?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:34
Trade Buxton. Some owner still believes. Maybe Kennedy for McMahon if you really need pitching.

DeShields hit the waiver wire...how high a bid in a 14-team mixed league roto? 5 man bench.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
Depending on how much an owner needs Saves, 20%
7:37
BTW, I'm an early, high FAAB bidder, especially in 15-team or deeper leagues. If I want someone, I'll spend at least 10% on them. Not many players are difference makers, so I bid to get them.
I may be high on FAAB recommendations.

7:37
J. Peraza better upside than Lowrie or N. Walker in a 14 team mixed roto??
Jeff Zimmerman
7:38
Agree but I'd not be surprised if the other two out earn Peraza
matt
7:38
Time to give up on Kevin Kiermaier to try and snag a potential breakout like Panik? He's my 5th OF in a 14-team league, and his "new approach" is yielding a 40% K rate. Can't steal if you don't get on base...
Jeff Zimmerman
7:39
I'd stick with KK but he may need to ride the pine. I remember I thought the same about Hosmer's start last year but he ended up being a top-20 hitter.
BringBacktheBrown
7:40
Tyson Ross higher upside than Newcomb, Rye, Pivetta? Or more than MRs like Betances, Devenski, or Hader? (12 team roto 5x5 mixer).
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
Tyson Ross looks done. Not sure who Rye is but I'd own the rest over him.
Tommy
7:41
Faab % you'd spend on Lucchesi in a 15 team Mixed?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
Took 2% and 7% in the two leagues I posted. Maybe 5%
Franklin Barreto
7:42
What do you think we see from him during this stint? Worth a pickup in any size league?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:43
Tough call with him. I considered him but passed this week. He might be worth an add if there is room on a team's bench
Jake Junis Priest
7:43
Was curious about Adam Engel and a break out, but that seems wrong now. Would you wait on him at all? Obv. a deep league. (Naquin, D. Robinson, Pearce, Rajai types on the wire.) Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:44
He could still breakout. Of the guys you listed, I think Naquin has the most talent
Gregg
7:44
I have to imagine Cinci leaves Senzel in minors Right? They aren't trying to win now and don't want to mess with his service time.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:45
The will at least hold him down until the Super Two date has passed
Bobby G
7:45
Hey Jeff thanks again for doing these chats...which 3B do you prefer, Villanueva or Moran?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:46
Moran, Vill. hasn't done enough yet to change my mind.
John Gibbons
7:46
Thoughts on Yoan Moncada? 20/20 season?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:47
I think it's in him but the AVG/OBP is going to be low. I'm a little worried he won't get on-base enough for 20 steals
Rick
7:47
Obviously early, but Harvey seems healthy. What to you expect from him going forward?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:48
May maxing out around Dylan Bundy.
Jake Junis Priest
7:48
Big fan of this idea for a FAABchat, btw. Thanks for the time!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:48
You're welcome
Mike
7:48
Thoughts on Yelich's oblique injury? What does it mean as in future production?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:49
He needs to get it healed right and not rush back. I'd be happy if it's more than a 10-day layoff
Grant
7:49
Your colleague brad johnson has an interesting pitcher based strategy. Basically, target pitching early in drafts if your league focuses on bats. Thoughts on this?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:51
In a draft, I try to just find value and treat it like an auction. Going with this approach, I aim for a $$$ mix between hitting and pitching. Sometimes the pitching comes early. Sometimes later
