A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[The Cats Ass]

Seems like a strong deal for both sides assuming it fills a need for both. I don't have concerns about Price, but Freeman just had a huge season for a 23 year old.

 

I'd prefer Price. Freeman doesn't have huge power, more of a doubles hitter. I also think his avg/obp will drop this year, he had a .371babip this year.

[Dr. Dinger]

I like Freeman, but I knew I was getting Ortiz to replace him. I think Ortiz gives me a better 2014 line.

 

Yeah... I'm a bit embarassed by that rotation lol, but I don't intend to keep them all. Shields, Ryu, Medlen, Beachy and Archer are all available for a CF/OF upgrade.

That did play into my consideration, certainly, but I think Freddie is going to provide OBP and counting stats for a long time. Somewhere between Overbay and Morneau.

I'm actually happy with Freeman. I think he can deliver several 30 HR seasons with .900 OPS', and he's only 23 years old. You had an opportunity to land Price for Upton and it's not like I was receiving offers that blew me away for Price from any other teams. The strongest offers I had for him were from you and Andrew throughout the offseason.

150 wRC+ from a 23 year old is outstanding. And I'll probably get ripped for this, but hes goes to provide a about 1000 RBI over the next decade; that matters in fantasy.

If it was Cut Day today, Bourn, Cishek, Balfour and Street are heading to the Rule 5. And the obvious cuts, Lavarnway, Scoot, Carp, etc.

Does anyone else make imaginary lineups for their fantasy team?

I probably sketch these out in a notepad on a weekly basis like a total f***ing loser.

[Abomination]

Out of curiosity, why did you decide to stack pitching rather than hitting (not that your bats aren't pretty damn good also, just not quite the level of your pitching)

[Dr. Dinger]

He has Chris Davis, Matt Carpenter, Miguel Cabrera, David Ortiz + the rest of his team which is good too.

 

Hoooooly s***

 

I did pretty well in the MiLB drafts and sold pretty much every draft pick and prospect I had. Functionally, I traded Buxton for Sale and Price. It also helps that I hit a grand slam on the Davis pick, and had the #4 overall pick (Miggy).

Pure opportunism for the most part, although my lineup is an easy Top 5 in the league.

[jaysblue]

I'd say though your pitching staff in the DDL league is better than my pitching staff in the FC league.

And Kemp is your 4th OF? You disgust me, sir.

[Dr. Dinger]

I really hope Ortiz goes Paul Konerko on you this year. Nobody deserves it more.

 

I hope Glasnow blows out his shoulder and we never hear of him again! No, I dont mean that. Youre alright.

[Dr. Dinger]

I'd say though your pitching staff in the DDL league is better than my pitching staff in the FC league.

 

I would surely f***ing hope so.

I did this and then cried lol.

[Dr. Dinger]

With arguably the two most valuable dynasty pitchers, and 3 of the top 5.

 

How do you rank my Top 4? I'm not sure who I'll make my opening day starter.

 

Because I depth chart my SPs. Like a loser would.

[Dr. Dinger]

Sale

Fernandez

Bumgarner

Medlen

Price

Shields

Ryu

 

Quite surprised to see Medlen over Price, although I think people forget that Medlen was the 11th ranked player in Yahoo in 2012.

[Dr. Dinger]

Are you assuming Price gets traded to Texas? Lol

 

Or is this a SwStr thing?

[Sammy225]

CF - Jennings

LF - Braun

3B - Bogaerts

DH - Butler

1B - Trumbo

2B - Gyorko

C - Ramos

RF - Calhoun

SS - Andrus

 

I really need Bogaerts to play full time.

 

CF. A. Pagan

3B. D. Freese

1B. J. Votto

LF. C. Rasmus

RF. M. Brantley

C. R. Martin

Uti/DH. J. Jaso

2B. N. Walker

SS. A. Cabrera

 

Basically got to hope for a comeback year for Pagan and Freese and hop Rasmus does not digress.

[jays_fever]

But if he stays with Molina you're golden.

 

Who were your other 2 top 5 dynasty SP

[Dr. Dinger]

Who were your other 2 top 5 dynasty SP

 

I'd guess maybe Strasburg and Harvey. Or Felix?

[Dr. Dinger]

Oh yeah, Kershaw. Derp.

We'll see. I do have my concerns.

[jaysblue]

Nice deal boys, pretty even up.

 

Jay, I want Tim Hudson.
