A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

What happened to NorthOf49's 20 game lead on the league? RTTM is a beautiful thing.

[TheHurl]

Dinger gets another easy week this week. My offense is decimated.

[Dr. Dinger]

Congrats! I've gotten crushed the past two weeks, that's what has happened. My 14-week stranglehold of the #1 seed is over.

 

Strength of schedule has evened out now that we've been through the league once. You still have a legit contender, just not the standalone powerhouse you envisioned early on.

Yes please

NJH had an opportunity to put some pressure on him but only picked up a game. Only the top 3 I think are locks for playoffs still. Should be a great finish and of course will be great to see all the division winners beat in the first round of the playoffs

[Dr. Dinger]

I would say it's a big blow for you that Pujols is out for the year, but he's been utter shite so far. Chris Carter has more HR and a higher OPS.

Nick's team is really good at pitching to the score. He's the Jack Morris of the league.

Still a drop down to a combo of Keppinger (or whatever player I pick up as this will probably be a rotating spot) and Mesoraco that are essentially replacing him. I've got 4 guys in my lineup which have a sub .300 OBP over the past 30 days (Segura, Longoria, Rollins and Fowler) it's unreal that I've been able to win all my weeks over this time.

[Dr. Dinger]

How the f*** do your PRs not have me first in offense? That's seriously whack.

[TheHurl]

it's .002 difference stop your whining.

[Dr. Dinger]

Sorry, but I ran the z scores this morning. My team is +13 on offense while no other team cracked +6. So I really don't give a s*** if I have -85 SB, my offense is the best by a mile. Your methodology is broken.

[Dr. Dinger]

it's .002 difference stop your whining.

 

Even taking SB into consideration, my offense has a .704 W%, while 2nd Leg is at .651.

[Fearthedoc]

My team has gone from an elite Holds juggernaut to average in one week. I lost my best guy in Melancon, and now Downs is traded to Atlanta which cannibalizes both Avilan and his value.

It sucks when you have a Holds beast and he becomes a closer after you've punted saves. :/

[The Cats Ass]

Anybody looking for some saves? Frieri is available! He's a good young closer that will be good for many years.

[Fearthedoc]

Yeah. Even though it may technically increase his value, it does jack s*** for my current team. Hopefully someone is looking for a closer at the deadline.

[Dr. Dinger]

No one is looking for closers. Huston Street and Chris Perez have been shopped hard for a month now with nary a nibble.

[TheHurl]

yeah I'm looking for holds too...no sense grabbing another closer when Soriano on his own has led me to a 6-6-4 record and I'm 8-4-4 in holds. I think North of 49 has the best record in these two stats being 11 games over .500 in the two (and still 5 games over .500 in the other two pitching counting stats). Of course all three of his starters picking up holds for him aren't SP eligible next year so it's a process to start all over again.

[Fearthedoc]

I'm almost at the point where I'm thinking I should totally revamp my strategy and punt holds instead of saves. If Gregg is traded out of Chicago, I would have three closers in Perez/Melancon/Strop.

 

So who knows, I might even be looking to add a closer in the near future.

[Dr. Dinger]

Bogaerts playing 3B tonight in Pawtucket.

 

Looks like he'll be one and done for SS eligibility, sorry BTS.

[Dr. Dinger]

Lol Andrus... Dat 62 wRC+

Why the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu are you rostering Jeff Keppinger ?

[jaysblue]

Andrus is a top 200 player in Yahoo's standard game (5x5), not when you add in SLG and OBP.

 

In any case, he should bounce back into a long-term play because of the steals and previously-steady BA/OBP.

 

My problem with Andrus is that every year in drafts, he's drafted like a top 50-80 player in fantasy baseball, which he clearly isn't. He can put up nice numbers like SB, runs, BA, though I would never take him anywhere in the top 100.

[TheHurl]

he was playing tonight. Hoping to get a cheap hit or two. for some reason i thought McAlister was a lefty. The 1B options are pretty bad...Brett Wallace might find my roster this week

[TRM]

I believe I am due for some congrats too. From being ordered out of the league by you, to passing you in the standings. Talk about a turn around!

Haha, jokes on you. I still have two weeks against Boxy!

[Boxcar]

I'll be cheering you on, buddy!

This. This I can fap too.

Hey, you leave me out of this. I didn't ask to be proclaimed the greatest offence. It was merely anointed upon me.
