@Jsports_47: Should I drop for ?
Zinkie: For sure. Even if Frazier doesn't work out, you are unlikely to regret dropping Diaz.
@FantasyBaseba20: Should I trade and for ?
Zinkie: No, you should not. Maybin is fourth in the Majors in steals and one of the most underrated fantasy assets at the moment.
@azito23: Would you drop or to pick up Charlie Morton?
Zinkie: Yes, drop Chacin for Morton. Don't drop McCarthy, who should be back soon.
@MarkAPier: Should I add or ?
Zinkie: Taylor. He is an underrated asset who can compile homers and steals.
@nmach10: Are you still holding out hope for ?
Zinkie: Yes, I am. There is so much potential for a hot hitter in the Astros' lineup to be very valuable.
@willyedwards11: Please rank your favorites among Charlie Morton, , Rich Hill, , Danny Duffy, Jeff Samardzija, and ?
Zinkie: Faria, Hill, Samardzija, Hendricks, Newcomb.

@withoutwaxxx: Please rank these possible save sources: , , and Tommy Kahnle.
Zinkie: Vizcaino, Kahnle, Kela, Soria.
@theschwabby: Going forward, would you rather own or ?

@TerminiMike: Please pick one of or .
Zinkie: I think I'm in the minority on this one, but I'll take Morrison.
@Bilalipops: Who do you believe in more, or ?
Zinkie: Definitely Ramirez. He is arriving as one of the best hitters in the American League.
@Schwabey: Do you see rebounding? He seemed like his old self last time out.
Zinkie: I'm not yet sold on a rebound. He fared well against a Blue Jays lineup that struggled for most of the week.
@antaftwit: Do you prefer or ?
Zinkie: Castro is my pick.
@jdtdj: Do you expect either or to bounce back in the second half?
Zinkie: I wouldn't buy low on Cueto. I would be more inclined to buy low on Tanaka.
@rhj_24324: Can I drop Mitch Haniger for ?
Zinkie: Make the switch from Haniger to Santana.
@RealDrewJarvis: For the rest of the season, do you prefer or ?
Zinkie: I can't believe I'm saying this, but Bellinger is my pick.
@JasonStier: Which player would you choose out of , and ?
Zinkie: Fowler is my choice from that underachieving group.
@j_mendwin: Should I drop for ?
Zinkie: I think you have to wait a little longer before dropping Verlander.
@DanyLavoie: Which player should I waive out of Brandon McCarthy, , or ?
Zinkie: Waive Kendrick. He has less upside than the others
@whatupwithsteve: Should I trade for either or ?
Zinkie: Yes, trade Moncada for Fulmer. I have high hopes for Moncada but Fulmer is very reliable.
@K_Spee: Please pick two out of , , Charlie Morton and Kevin Gausman.
Zinkie: Nola, Morton.
@fubzeppelin: Which player should I add out of , Joe Ross and ?
Zinkie: Pick up Ross. He can be frustrating at times, but his ceiling is fairly high.
