A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[The Cats Ass]

I hear that getting starters that can go in your RP spot is the only way to go.

No, the other way around! I expect SP-eligible relievers will be a hot commodity. I would keep Brian Matusz if he held onto the eligibility.

 

You should only have a SP in a RP slot if you have >5 starters going that day.

I sent out a bunch of Proboards PMs yesterday... check your messages people!

Alright I sent you something

 

Also, if anyone is looking to trade down from a top 10 MiLB pick, PM me.

[NorthOf49]

Quiet??? This league is very active, mostly because we've just passed the inaugural season.

I'm curious... how many trade messages do you guys send out/receive a week on average?

 

Also, sent you a Proboards PM Spank

I usually send them out in masses, which is what I suspect most people do. Could be 10 one day and then none for the next 2 weeks. I doubt anyone really is going to be very active from novemember to mid Jan. Im confident 80 percent of the moves made since the playoffs ended have been due to boredom.

[Fearthedoc]

You'd think so, but I can't even get a draft pick for Huston Street or Grant Balfour right now. Once the season starts, you can get a 3rd round pick for your average closer, but that's about as high as their value seems to get.

 

Yep. The key is when the season starts. Right now people don't want to burn one of their 20 spots PLUS a pick for a reliever. When the season starts and they have 25 spots I expect a lot more action. You're right though, it is hard to sell in the reliever market.

[The Cats Ass]

I've gotten 2 closers this off-season, and the highest pick I gave up was a late 5th rounder. I also had to deal players though to make it work, but they were players that weren't on my 20-man roster.

usually none.

[Dr. Dinger]

I've had 94 trade inquiries/messages since the season ended.

Can someone please clarify why people are trying to veto my deal for charlie f***ing Morton involving me getting back basically a 120th and 140th pick back. They're very mediocre picks..but did I miss the memo where Charlie Morton suddenly became a reliable decent pitcher..even in a deep league

where do you see a veto attempt? I feel I'll be dropping a younger and better pitcher than Morton so I have no issue with the deal

It's for a different dynasty league. Im just confused, like did I miss the memo when Morton actually became a decent fantasy option. Its also a salary cap and dont want to pay him 4 million

That's weird. Morton's barely relevant even in the deepest of leagues.

 

I dislike veto systems. People use them for their own benefit and not as a collusion-prevention method.

[jays_fever]

I actually like Chalrie Morton. with that elite GB rate, if he keeps the K/BB above 2 like he did in 2013 he should win a lot of games for a good time while putting up a sub-4 ERA.

 

A thirty year old pitcher who had 1 decent year at his age 30 season and that wasnt even over a full year sample mind you..is being traded for mediocre draft picks because I can't afford to pay his projected 4 million salary when he's not even top 5 on my SP chart, and its getting veto votes/talk. That's the part that kills me. I just joined this league and people are seriously trying to pull s*** like this.

[jaysblue]

Kevin Gregg is available for anyone looking for a closer. Best closer in baseball guys!

 

Looking for a pick or a free pint of beer!

Quit that league immediately. Do something better with your time.

[Dr. Dinger]

Morton is Waiver Draft fodder without a doubt. League voting on trades is pretty derp also.

[Laika]

I'm already thinking of quitting a dynasty league I'm in, I just joined and the veto ******** is driving me insane, with the same bitches crying over every deal, and not one trade has even been close to egregious. You have to go to kangaroo court and explain your reasoning for a trade. Der dumn!!!

 

Quit so you can pay more attention to this league

Its a very deep league so every MLB player is ownable ( I have thames on my bench). He's just making 4 mill out of my 115 cap and I can use the picks. It isnt even about the return for me mostly, just that its some scrub depth player that people are honestly complaining about..its completly asinine

wait, we can quit leagues?

With BA's Team Top 10s coming out maybe we should come up with our top 10 for our own teams..

haha, poor Jesse Hahn and Max Kepler. Top 10's may be a little 'inclusive', but it might be mildly entertaining to do a top 5 prospects from each team. If anyone wants to send me top 5's for each team I would be happy to compile them so we have an aggregate top 5 for each team. BTW, I stress 'mildly entertaining'... its a boring time in baseball haha.

[Dr. Dinger]

I don't even have 5 decent prospects. I've got like 2.5.

Also, interesting note about DeShields, he didn't even make the Astros Top 10 according to Baseball Prospectus. They have heavily implied that he has significant makeup/want issues.

[NorthOf49]

No49 Pharm Update

1. Matt Davidson

2. Tyrone Taylor

3. Orlando Arcia

4. Luis Heredia

5. Stephen Piscotty

6. Cheslor Cuthbert

 

Taylor and Arcia will both rank highly in the Brewers list, Keith Law says Taylor is 'probably' his #1 Brewer. Davidson should be top three on the D'Backs and Heredia and Piscotty should make their teams' list. Jason Parks will probably rank my top four guys in his top 100 -- in particular he loves Arcia (and is why I took him lol).

How could he not be on the Astro's top 10. DeShields is underrated I feel, he has 80 speed and he put up a .317/.405/.873 line as a 20yr old in A+. Plus he plays 2B and should be able to stick there. I don't care about any makeup issues as long as he keeps performing.

 

 

If the Astros are so down on him he could be a good buy low for the Bluejays. They have Jose Altuve for 2B anyway.

[Dr. Dinger]

Jason Parks loves a bunch of athletic, glove-first SS's who won't be fantasy relevent. Arcia, Mondesi, Paulino, etc. Decent real-life players, but fantasy non-factors. Even Lindor might not be much of a fantasy asset. Parks does not give a f*** about fantasy (and I quote).
