A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Laika]

Lawrie is clearly a top...

[Dr. Dinger]

JP was the bottom?

[jays_fever]

Why is everyone so down on Donaldson for, he had a a great BB and K rates. BAIP was a bit hit and should come down next year but he could still post a 280/350/465 line with 20+homers easily.

I still think hell be a great IRL player, but it's not easy to hit 20+ in the Coliseum and I wouldn't be prepared to buy into the idea of all of his peripherals not regressing at least a wee bit.

I'm in a keeper league and I have to pick 2 of the following 5 to keep for life. Since this is a league full of noobs, my team is good and I need a guy who will contribute this year.

Choices are:

Rendon

Paxton

Bogaerts

Taijuan

Corbin

 

Leaning Bogaerts and Walker but curious what you guys think.

 

I could have sworn I posted this somewhere, so forgive me if I did.

Boogers is a no brainer. Paxton is right out.

 

Walker for the pitching risk/reward (take if you can absorb the risk; if you have a fairly deep team and can afford to take a 2014 chance).

Corbin for the more bankable pitching contribution this year.

Rendon should only really be considered if you have a hole at 2B or 3B.

I think I'd go with Bogaerts and Walker as well. Too many questions (for fantasy) in Rendon, and Taijuan probably won't perform significantly worse than Corbin next year and has a great chance of being better later. Paxton I think has to be behind both of them.

[Boxcar]

Yeah those were my paths. I really like Rendon, so kinda worried he's gonna break out this year. Probably gonna go with Walker and Boogers though.

Bogaerts and Taijuan for me. Corbin and Paxton aren't even in the conversation and I'd be worried about Rendon's health and position long term.

[Dr. Dinger]

How do you guys think this team would fare in DDL?

 

C Avila/Grandal

1B Goldschmidt

2B Carpenter

3B Sandoval

SS Jeter/Lindor

OF Cargo

OF Holliday

OF Myers

DH Papi

 

SP Fernandez

SP Samardzija

SP Kuroda

SP Cingrani

SP Gausman

SP Bradley

SP Haren

SP Pineda

RP Rodney & Santos

 

Not much of a bullpen but otherwise I'd imagine it's a playoff team, no?

[Laika]

Arizona starters have a recent habit of popping up and then fading into the ether.

 

Hudson - hurt

Kennedy - from #2 to BP machine

Collmenter - it was all smoke and mirrors anyway. Gustavo Chacin style success.

Miley - still good but regressed noticeably after 2012.

Corbin 2014 - who knows!!!!

Seems likely.

 

Good top end and future in that SP corps, but might be thin in 2014.

[Dr. Dinger]

I worry about getting enough IP down the stretch, but I'm pretty much all-in at this point.

[Fearthedoc]

I'm going to slap out some players of interest shortly, guys that should help win now clubs and building squads.

 

You've definitely captured my interest.

[Fearthedoc]

Anything particular FTD? You could get a hand up? PM is your friend. Or e-mail, the DDL messages etc.

 

I'm about to look into it right now. So does this mean you're leaning towards rebuilding?

[havok24]

I might send you something soon.

[Fearthedoc]

Nope

 

Sent you a PM on DDL forums.

[havok24]

Alright, cheers!!

 

Sent you a PM as well.

[z3r0s]

not the park I wanted Tanaka in.... booo!

 

oh well.

[connorp]

Curious.. how does Tanaka's eligibility get handled with your league?

[NorthOf49]

They put him in the waiver (MLB) draft.

Yep. Every unowned player in Yahoo's system is eligible to be taken in the waiver draft, for that matter.

He does get a boost in Wins though with this team.

[The Cats Ass]

They put him in the waiver (MLB) draft.

 

And if it were to be a new league he would be included in the Yahoo Roster draft, along with Abreu. Wouldn't be eligible for the prospect draft.

[The Cats Ass]

Not compared to the Dodgers.

 

But more then the Cubs or Mariners.

 

I'm not 100% sure the Dodgers were serious contenders for him.

[Laika]

Which cut deadline works best for everyone?

 

Sun Feb 16th at 11:59 pm, or

Sun Feb 23rd at 11:56 pm

 

Waiver draft would commence precisely one week hence, on the proboards.

 

This is all assuming that Yahoo is up in time. Superbowl is the 2nd (right?), so I'm guessing Yahoo Fantasy Baseball will be up by like, Tuesday the 11th.

[Dr. Dinger]

I'm on vacation from the 7th-19th, so 23rd works better for me, although my roster is at 20 already. I won't be here to assist with the admin work if it's the earlier date.

[The Cats Ass]

Why the 11:57 pm if it's the 23rd?

[Laika]

I can maybe make it 11:56 if that would work better

[The Cats Ass]

It would, thank you.

[NorthOf49]

I've already cleared out my excess (other than Grant Green, offer up!) so am fine with either date. I may be unavailable on the 16th so would make my cuts a few days prior.
