So who plays SS for the Rockies while the Reyes situation plays out? And is that person fantasy-relevant?

Paul Swydan

9:53

Well, it'll either be Trevor Story or Daniel Descalso. One of them would be fantasy relevant, and one....wouldn't.

What Paul said

Shirtless Bartolo Colon

9:53

When I was Sandoval's age, I only weighed 230 ;)

Paul Swydan

9:53

Good note, Shirtless Bartolo!

Jeff Zimmerman

9:54

You never weight 230 lbs since you were 16

Paul Swydan

9:54

Also, let me take this brief moment to remind you to listen to the Doing It For Bartolo podcast on Hardball Times. I believe tomorrow's is with Tom Verducci. Good stuff!

Anthony

I've got Arrieta and Rodon as keepers, $21 total in a $260 auction. What type of pitcher should I be targeting next?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:55

Another top 20 ace, teams need to aim for 2 or they may struggle with pitching.

Paul Swydan

9:56

One who's been more stable.

Jack

9:57

Pick one please to pair with Betts and Soler in a keeper league, thanks

Jeff Zimmerman

9:57

Trout?

Paul Swydan

9:58

Yeah I'm not sure I understand this question.

Brock

9:58

Thoughts on EE/Bats potentially replacing Ortiz as The Redsox DH?

Paul Swydan

9:59

I doubt that one of those things will happen.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:59

I think the Red Sox may fill from within after this season with someone like Sandoval

11 team, 6 keeper league with $280 cap, trying to decide between Eaton at $13 and Stroman at $6. Who you taking?

Paul Swydan

10:01

Stroman

Jeff Zimmerman

10:01

I would take Stroman at that price

A-Rock

20 team 5 x 5 - we keep 9 guys - I'm keeping Martin 7, Asdrubel 1, CarGo 21, Conforto 1, Ziegler 2, Richards 4 and Kendricks 1. Need 2 of the following: Upton 39, Braun 38, Valencia 1, Kearns 4, Kershaw 47 and Street 18 - can probably re-buy the expensive pitchers for close to their salaries. With inflation, top hitters go 45+.

Paul Swydan

10:02

I'd say Upton and Kershaw. Peace of mind is worth it with Kershaw, even if the cost would be the same. Also, Ziegler is terrible, FYI.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:02

Kershaw only or no one

Assuming Gallardo and Fowler deals go through, O's will have given out more money this offseason (total deal value) than any other team. $284.8MM. The O's. Crazy.

Paul Swydan

10:03

I mean, they're still owned by a billionaire, are they not?

Jeff Zimmerman

10:04

The Davis deal was just dumb. I love how teams bid up themselves

Paul Swydan

10:04

We are not billionaires though, so we need to figure out some ways to make some more money. Thanks for hanging out with us, and we'll talk again next week!

Jeff Zimmerman
