I like that rotation.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:53

it should be fine,. Be active on WW as some have IP limits.

Miles

9:53

I agree that the Marte suspension lengthens his leash considerably. At least he still has plate discipline.

Paul Swydan

9:54

Well, my answer is vague. It may lengthen the leash for Bell, but it may ALSO lengthen the leash for Hurdle. It's not his fault Marte got busted. So unless the Pirates are now in fire sale mode, that suspension might have bought Hurdle another season.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:54

OK .....

Paul Swydan

9:54

was vague

Larry

9:54

Okay to dump the rotting carcass of Adrian Gonzalez in shallow 10-team for (insert hot potential breakout hitter here)?

Paul Swydan

9:54

In a 10-teamer, yeah, I'm OK with that.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:54

Yes, Travis Shaw if available

Southpaw the fuzzy alligator

9:55

Can somebody write about Avisail Garcia?

Paul Swydan

9:55

Let's give it another week or two.

Jeff Zimmerman

.543 BABIP

David D

9:55

I had extra sp and traded Salazar for Bautista , needed a bat will I regret it?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:55

Paul Swydan

9:55

I mean, who knows, but I think that's a defensible trade.

Richard

9:57

Between the new 10-day DL and his persistent blister issues, will Rich Hill set the record for most discrete trips to the DL in a single season?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:57

Yes ... my Tout Wars team ERA dropped under 6. Improvement

Paul Swydan

9:57

I'm excited to find out.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:57

He could

Nick V

9:57

Do you think Trevor Bauer will ever figure out his command? Some days, it seems like he's close. Some days it looks like he's not even facing the plate when he throws.

Paul Swydan

9:57

I do not, no. Too busy playing with his drone.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:57

Nope, thinking too much

Minty

9:58

Think Honeywell debuts before September?

Paul Swydan

9:58

I do, yes.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:58

Yes, if he is pitching fine

Ryan

9:58

Suppose Donaldson comes off the DL and hits like his old self; what kind of package could he fetch at the trade deadline?

Paul Swydan

9:59

An immense package, but it's a little early for that kind of thought experiment, even with Toronto's slow start.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:59

Not sure on his contract ... looking

10:00

Not much. top 20 to 50 prospect. Ben Zobrist return

David D

10:00

Any confidence in J Nelson 14 tm hth

Paul Swydan

10:01

In a 14-teamer, your confidence level doesn't need to be that high to take a chance on a starter.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:01

No, no confidence, but he may be your best option. I using Shelby Miller tonight in a 15-team league

The Tunisian Condor

10:01

What happens first: Mookie goes yard or Mookie strikes out?

Paul Swydan

10:02

This one came in at 6:37. Mookie did in fact go yard first.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:02

What happens first: Mookie strikeout or Dee Gordon walk?

Paul Swydan

10:03

I'll say Dee!

And on that note, we're going to call it a night. Thanks for hanging out, as always, even if not enough of you are listening to Kendrick (or Lendrick) Lamar.

Jeff Zimmerman

Bye
