A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

Who would have started Lyles vs. the Rangers?

 

It's pretty much just Beltre, Berkman and scrubs today, and they still blew him up.

[TheHurl]

MVP - Tough not to go with Wainwright and his 13.75 K/BB ratio but Segura has been Mr. Everything on my offense. I'm so glad I wanted a huge deal early (top 10 guys) or I probably would have moved Segura in April. Longoria has been everything I asked as well

 

LVP - BJ Upton...I don't think anyone could match this one. Oddly enough I still like him a bit and he won't hit my bench until he hits Atlanta's bench

[TheHurl]

My f***ing Milone Management costing me a stat. Didn't play him earlier as I have the "no Milone on the road rule" I looked safe in the ratio stats and needed K's so I play him today and he costs me OPBA (by the tiniest of points). Turns out I shouldn't need his 4 k's

What do you want for B.J. Upton? Send me an e-mail.

[Dr. Dinger]

I thought we were doing this week only, oops.

 

MVP - Miggy and Crush Davis have carried my offence.

LVP - Dusty Baker, for keeping Chapman a closer.

[TheHurl]

The top of the Reuben division just got a little mustard, at the time of writing the division standings look like

 

Speedygose 45-34-5

TheHurl 43-34-7

Dinger 42.36-6

 

to sit 2nd, 6th and 7th. Although the two best records are in the same division both with 50 wins

[TRM]

And that's what happens! thehurl wins his matchup 11-1. #beatTZLF

 

You could use some help, methinks.

[TheHurl]

seriously Alexei Ramirez steals two and we tie

[Dr. Dinger]

Gonna be at the top of those offensive PRs soon.

[The Cats Ass]

MVP: Hitting: Anthony Rizzo - 9HR, 28rbi, .352obp, .538slg, even 4sb. Next generation of top Firstbasemen.

Pitching: My 3-headed monster called Buchshawkuma - 164.6 innings, 13 wins, 167 so, 1.68era, 4.25 K/BB, .237obpa. I just can't choose only one of them. Kershaw has been Kershaw, and Bucholtz and Iwakuma have been Kershaw too. They've turned out to be steals so far.

 

LVP: Hitting: Josh Hamilton - I'm at a lose for words on how to describe him. He was susposed to carry my offence, right now I wouldn't trust him to carry my jock-strap.

Pitching: Not sure if it's fair to put a player here because of injury, but if I can it would be Weaver, but that's a case of a high pick being injured. Other then that I would have to go with Marmol and his 5.14/0.92/.420, but of course that's what I should have expected with him.

I like this idea.

 

MVP Batter: Bryce! Bryce! Bryce! Living up to the expectations so far, I couldn't ask for a better performance. .297/.387/.619 slash line and 10 HR, if I want to nitpick, he only has 1 SB.

 

MVP Pitcher: Mike Minor. I was hoping for him to continue his solid numbers from last year, but he's been even better taking a step forward. 2.96 ERA 3.56 FIP 4.75 K/BB .236 OBPA.

 

LVP Batter: Edwin. His HR are there but only .313 OBP and .469 SLG.

 

LVP Pitcher: Gio. He is starting to come around but he is not pitching like the ace I need him to be. 4.20 ERA 2.20 K/BB .287 OBPA

[jaysblue]

I'm rather interested in Beckett if anyone wants to do a claim-and-trade.

 

Wow, seriously someone dropped Josh Beckett in this deep of a league? I mean I know he has struggled, though in a deep league like this, you at least hold onto him and hope he regains his form. He's had some nice starts this year.

Yeah, or if you want to cut ties, at least trade him for a mid rounder or something.

Rookie mistake by Kats.

Heck, he's actually has had good peripherals this season. If he doesn't go on the DL, I think he can turn it around pitching in the NL West and at that pitchers park. I would have easily given him a mid round-late round pick.

[z3r0s]

I'll probably be picking him up.

[TheHurl]

if not he's not getting past the number 2 waiver spot. Of course if Sil didn't mention it here no way I'd notice it.

[z3r0s]

Looking to deal Cody Ross in a hurry. Just looking to move up a bit on any of my picks (ie a pick for Ross + a pick). Best offer takes him.

[jaysblue]

Seth Smith is available. For those who want a better hitter than Cody Ross, let me know. Since this is an .OBP league, Seth Smith is more valuable.

Oh you bastard

So I shouldn't bother putting a #20 claim on him? I hate the chubby f***er but I'd still take him on my team.

[Dr. Dinger]

Just got Matt Harvey for Wieters and the 4th overall pick .

 

Wow, love this one for you. I really dont see Wieters as a special fantasy player, his value is mostly defensive. I guess now Gibbers plays Posey at 1B? I'm biased, but IMO I made a stronger offer.

[Dr. Dinger]

I don't think Wieters will ever develop into more than a ~0.330 wOBA bat, but he's a consistent source of counting stats, which is nice. My farm system is going to look very weak at the end of the year though.

 

Meh, I don't think the 4th pick will end up costing you that much, I think it's a weak draft. Easily worth it to land a pre-prime ace like Harvey.

[KingKat]

The rules state "Only players who have never played an MLB game and who belong to an MLB parent team are eligible to be drafted." If I interpret this correctly, that means that any IFA signed as part of the current signing period before our draft is eligible? I don't know how likely it is for a major IFA to sign between now and then but I thought I would clear up whether this is something I should monitor or if I can just forget about the current crop of IFAs.

Yep. If they sign with a team prior to the draft, they are eligible.

[KingKat]

What if they've signed but are under investigation? Like the Jairo Beras situation last year.

 

What if a player signs in the middle of the draft? I presume if they weren't eligible when we started, they are off limits for the entire draft. I wouldn't want anyone to try to pull a fast one.

IFAs have to be signed prior to the draft to be eligible.

[Dr. Dinger]

That would make sense.

 

What if a player in MiLB is called up after the draft starts? If the Braves call up Alex Wood a few minutes before I pick, can I still take him?

 

As long as he hasn't played a game you can draft him.

 

In fact, theoretically a player could have been added to the Yahoo database, owned on a roster, released, and then later drafted in the prospect draft, as long as they haven't played an MLB game. For example, last year Corey Spangenberg was in the database, this year he isn't. Yahoo is a little better about not adding prospects in the low minors now, though.

[z3r0s]

I would have loved to get this guy... I just don't think we matched up with me trying to get younger

[jays_fever]

Dang, I was really hoping Harvey would go with a combo of young players, prospects and picks. Would love to see someone set the market with moving an elite prospect
