A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[KingKat]

I inquired about him a few times, I was willing to offer prospects and picks (a lot better than the 50 whatever) but Kat never responded to me so I figured he wasn't interested in anything I had to offer.

 

I may have gotten you confused with Boxy. I had a lot of talks with him but we were never close.

[Dr. Dinger]

I don't really get it either. If Scherzer is such a good "get" than how come nobody else was buzzing on him?

 

I made Buxton available for Scherzer and didn't even get a response.

Ditto.

[KingKat]

I was kind of awol for a bit with a friend's wedding but I thought I had gotten back to everyone who made me offers. I have a very hard time parsing who's who in this league so I may have missed your message but I don't recall seeing Buxton's name. One of the reasons I finally reluctantly joined this board is that I was feeling like my communication with the rest of the league was breaking down.

 

In the case of Scherzer, I was looking to swap MLB assets and I still don't get the impression that I was going to get that done with anyone other than NJH. I guess in hindsight it's obvious that in a setup like this if you put a player on the market and aren't specific about what you're looking for, people will assume you just want to do a MLB style seller's deal so I'm largely to blame for putting myself in a position to get offers that weren't at all what I was looking for.

Two days ago when you wrote me back about Konerko. Maybe you just skimmed over the Konerko part and deleted it, I dunno.

[KingKat]

Oh... That was you. Yeah I totally missed the second part of that. I wasn't going to do a straight up for prospects deal but I would have at least checked out your roster. I'm glad I'm back in this thread. You get more deals done when you just put things out in the open here.

[Laika]

Can someone add everyone's board name in brackets after their team name in the Commissioner's Note? We did that in MPL, it makes everything so much easier. Sometimes I spend a long time just trying to figure out who's who and I can see others are also getting mixed up.

 

So, you'd have "BALCO Pharm Team (NorthOf49): Zack Wheeler..."

 

Maybe, if someone gets around to it.

[Dr. Dinger]

Maybe, if someone gets around to it.

 

I already did that on the Proboard, it's easy enough to cross reference.

[Laika]

Right.

 

All team names and owner names are listed on proboards, under "Rosters".

[Dr. Dinger]

In 'Rosters', now I see it. Would be easier if it was also Yahoo, but no big deal.

 

Felix Doubront tonight: 1 HR, 6 BB... 1 ER. Good ERA despite a terrible FIP in the game, yet NJH picked him up for a good FIP despite terrible ERA. Rick Porcello's been good so I don't really care how Doubront ends up anyway.

 

LOL Njh trades Doubront to BTS for a 4th round pick.

[Dr. Dinger]

Felix Doubront: RTTM

 

$20 bet on end of season ERA?

[Dr. Dinger]

Over a 220 inning sample? Absolutely. I'll take the 25-year old lefty with 9K/9 stuff and the sub-4 xFIP and cross my fingers.

 

I predict he loses his rotation spot by July and is not a keeper for you.

[KingKat]

I made you a wise offer.

[KingKat]

Hum... Doesn't look like the "reply to" feature works here.

[Dr. Dinger]

I understand, guess it's worth a shot for you. You have a really good rotation regardless.

 

Doubront is ownable as a Ks play alone. He's a great late week play if you're down by a few Ks or a W and you have nothing to lose in the ratios. Would own again.

[Laika]

Doubront has a 5.3 BB/9 after today's game and his 7.4 SwStr% is 1.2 percentage points below average.

 

He also has a K/9 over 10 and a 3.31 FIP. All of this is meaningless though since it's a puny sample size, save for the context of him potentially losing his rotation spot, which I suppose is still possible but considering that he only allowed 1 run tonight and Allen Webster got shelled in his last spotty, I'm guessing that it won't be particularly imminent.

He's 25 years old and a hair of talent / a league change away from being a lefty Yovani Gallardo. He had a better K rate, BB rate, and xFIP than Matt Moore last year. It's a Dynasty league.

 

Solid SP6 (or whatever) and future play.

[Dr. Dinger]

am I missing why everyone's so casual about Doubront missing 2.5 mph off his fastball?

 

Probably because he struck out a batter per inning last year and his K rate has gone up this year.

 

He's young. It could easily tick up another 1 or 2 MPH next year.

[jays_fever]

Am I missing why everyone cares so much about the impact of a 6th or 7th starter

Apparently Felix Doubront is a very divisive player.

[Dr. Dinger]

I'm looking to move Scott Kazmir or John Lackey for a pick. No reasonable offer refused.

[Dr. Dinger]

Denard Span could also be had for a pick.

[Laika]

I kind of want two of those players, but I don't really have any room. Damn.

[Dr. Dinger]

Me too. I'm amazed how much roster crunch there is in such a deep league.

[Boxcar]

Still looking to deal DeShields, high draft picks and/or Dempster/Gardner/Gose. Want youngish guys, willing to deal #10 and #11 picks for a star young player.

[Dr. Dinger]

Burch Smith and Sean Marshall are available for a pick.

[jays_fever]

Well Since this apparently works, Jeff Neiman, Santana, Chisnehall, Betancourt, and any of my s***** relievers are available for a pick.

 

Also Prado is available for a young SP

[Boxcar]

Is that a package for a pick? NVM you dealt Marshall.

 

I'm looking to move pick #12 for something. I can package Gose or Gardner, but I'm looking for a decent young player. I'll package Hill for something REALLY good.

[Boxcar]

I'll think about it and maybe get back to you.

 

Sent you emailz.

[KingKat]

I could probably spare one of my catchers. They are both low end guys not worth Walker who I'm not really interested in anyways.
