Zinkie: Schoop, Ramirez, Davis, Contreras. If you need power, grab Schoop. If you need speed, take Davis. If you want balance, opt for Ramirez.

@thealexmoretto: Will Taijuan Walker be back up in time to help my team down the stretch, or should I drop him?

Zinkie: Depending on your league size, you can grab Blake Snell, Robbie Ray, Luke Weaver, …
