Do you think Corbin Martin sticks in the rotation?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:30

If he continues to pitch like he did today.

Which NL-only minor leaguer is highest waiver wire priority: Riley, Rodgers, Urias, Gallen, or someone else

Jeff Zimmerman

7:31

Gallen

BigTuna

What % of FAAB are you spending on Corbin Martin in a 12 tm?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:32

After today, I'm afraid he's in the 5% to 15% range. There is always a Sunday boost

I'm in near the middle but not too much

BigTuna

7:33

Kendrick or Flores in a 12 tm OPS?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:33

Kendrick but watch the playing time

BigTuna

7:33

Need a Glasnow replacement in 12 tm. How would you rank Pena, Bassit, Miley, Means and Skaggs?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:34

If they are all available, their talent is similar and go with the one with 2 starts

Donnie

7:34

Is now the time to grab Gallen or Mercado? Which one are you higher on?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:35

I'm going to gamble one more week but I like Gallen

7:36

Tout Wars bids are in. I'm going to go grab the resutls

150 looks to be the Martin bid price

George

7:41

Do you think Tilson still starts when E. Jimenez returns?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:41

It really depends on how he's hitting

Dave

7:41

How much would you bid on the Martin kid from Houston with a 1000 FAAB budget? He looked great, but heard only 10 swinging strikes.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:41

Looks like the market has him around 150

BigTuna

7:41

Giolito or Gibson as a waiver add?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:42

Gibson for me

Lemon Man

7:42

Thoughts on Griffin Canning? Is he a hold in 12 tm league? Other options: R Lopez, C Irvin, Pivetta, D Norris, Z Gallen.

Jeff Zimmerman

7:42

Hold over the option but I like Lopez the most

7:43

Drop McHugh for now, nothing there if needing Saves

Where is Kimbrel?

7:43

Desperate for saves. C Martin, Cischek, Brennan, or Kintzler?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:43

You have them

Crazy Sammi Meatballs

I went conservative today and was hoping to settle for 2 pts in pitching. I was craven and sat 3 SP. As a result, I ended up losing 3.5 to .5 in those categories. What are your thoughts on going craven and sitting pitchers? Should you just man up and start what ya got?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:44

There is no right answer but if there is any doubt, I start my guys

Beast Hoskins

7:44

Drop kepler for Aguilar in my utility spot? Bid?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:45

I wouldn't. It might like a 3% go 5% bid to get Aguilar

Crazy Sammi Meatballs

7:45

My team is horrible and I really should sell for next year. I'm thinking of throwing out some FAAB on Mountcastle. What do you feel is a good % of FAAB to spend?

Jeff Zimmerman

7:45

Beast Hoskins

7:46

What's the track record of hitters coming back from Tommy john. Wondering if shohei will get it together and if I should pick up the gregorious stash

Jeff Zimmerman

7:46

Not the best. I wrote it up for BHQ, let me see if I can find it.
