Jeff Zimmerman
7:30
Welcome everyone. Tonight I'm sipping on some Early Times Bottled in Bond.
7:31
Tout Wars changed hosts and we are still having issues getting all the league public, so I just have the results from the 15-team auction that I'm in.
7:32
see gee
7:32
I'm looking for some high-risk, high-upside starting pitchers to gamble on early in the season. Who comes to mind?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:33
Brown, Roupp, Severino, Smith-Shawver
Alex Cora
7:33
Did I mess Devers up with my whole you’re my 3B now you’re my DH switcheroo
Jeff Zimmerman
7:34
No ... I think someone is still pouting and needs to accept reality.
Dyer
7:34
Are you buying into Tork? Still looks suspicious to me.  The K rate and launch angle low.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:35
I think this will be the last week to get him if it's real. I like adding as a bench bat. It's impossible to find 30 HR bats on the wire.
GR
7:35
Drop Kikuchi for Casey Mize or Kris Bubic? Or wait and see
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
Wait for him, the start was fine
Nolan Jones
7:36
Deep-as-it-gets 12 Team AL Only Roto - How much are you bidding from a $100 budget on Nolan Jones? (My league mates tend to over bid on guys like this).
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
$5 at most
Mike
7:36
Sal Frelick started three games, two against tough lefties.  Move the needle any or is he just a singles hitter with some speed?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:36
He's not moving the needle just yet.

Is Gavin Williams a must hold in 12 team mixed? I’m OK at pitching & would probably drop him for Victor Scott.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:37
I hope your name is right.
7:38
As for the question, it comes down to team needs so dropping Williams for Scott is acceptable since they were going in similar parts of the draft.
SL
7:39
Pickup for next week: Fitts, Roupp or Hancock?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:39
In that order
Chip
7:39
I dropped Goldschmidt for Soderstrom in a 12-team H2H league with OBP and slugging. Thought I’s take a chance on the young man’s upside. Too crazy?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:40
Possible but depends on the league depth. In a 10-teamer with just 10 hitter slots, Goldy might belong on the Waiver Wire.
Mike
7:40
Kepler sat today against a lefty after starting against Gore opening day. Worth picking up and/or holding in 12-team, 5 OF league?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:41
Don't read too much into this first weekend when everyone gets to play. Give it another week to see if it's a trend.
Guest

Please rank these Cs ROS for roto: Bo Naylor, Danny Jansen, Goodman, Amaya, Endy Rodriguez. I'm leaning Naylor and Goodman.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:42
Goodman for sure. The other one is between Naylor, Jansen, and Amaya
Bargain buyer
7:42
Who was the hitter you had ranked in the 40s that was going in the 120s before Vegas? Happ or Luis Garcia, perhaps?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:43
I said player and it was Sonny Gray. Then he got hurt so I backed off adding him since he was on all my other teams.
Nils
7:43
Tylor McGill - How much FAB % would you recommend ?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:44
Good 5%.
Anselm
7:44
Hi and thanks for all the work -- am in a 12 team 5x5 roto league with sv/holds. Thinking of dropping Kjerstad for Vesia or Santillan -- doesn't seem like Kjerstad has regular playing time and I could use another RP. Do you have a preference?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:45
I'd do the drop and I don't have a read on either reliever. I usually have a tool set up that looks at recent usage and talent to target S/H guys but I don't have it working yet.
Hawk
7:45
Any thoughts on who closes for the Reds?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:47
The hot hand and right now only the Giblet is out of the mix.
Bullpen
7:47
Yo, I need saves plus holds. Do you like any of cano, halverson, estevez, finnegan, Harvey, minter. Thanks!
Jeff Zimmerman
7:48
Maybe Cano, I might look at better arms who might get holds like Staten, Santillan, or Martin (TEX)
Fubo Sasaki
7:48
Do you think Sasaki’s been bad enough that he’s at risk of getting sent down?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:49
I know I won't start him next week. I think they at least give him a couple more shots.
Hurting at MI
7:49
How would you rate these MI in 15 team ROS: Perdomo, Muncy, Polanco, Moore
Jeff Zimmerman
7:50
OK Guys and gals, make sure to designate which Max Muncy and don't use their birthdate.
