A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[The Cats Ass]

I need a new team name. Kind of weird to have my team named after a player I don't own.

 

My possible options at this point:

1. Worst Case Scenario

2. The Tactilenecks

3. Handsome Gentlemen's Club

4. The I Am Terrible At Coming Up With Team Names

 

This is all assuming the overlords deem this acceptable.

 

All those names are bad. I vote for "Bye Week"

Poor Boxy you guys are so mean lol.

[Fearthedoc]

Myrtle Beach Mermen

[Boxcar]

OK OK, got my new team name: "Only Guy In The League Who Isn't A Total Douche" I guess I could abbreviate it.

 

Actually, I like Bye Week. It can apply for my opponent this year and then for me when I am crushing all you idiots into dust.

[Boxcar]

God dammit, the booze fuelled me but also let me down.

Omfg amazing

[Dr. Dinger]

Anybody feel like making any cuts? I have the spreadsheet open to process Boxy's acquisition of ace Yusmeiro Petit.

[AdamGreenwood]

Are you going to have a promotion/demotion system with the other dynasty league?

 

I'm not in either league, but I think it might be beneficial. It would allow your league to cull the non-participants, and remove the temptation to intentionally tank in order to claim the first overall draft pick.

I've see too many dynasty leagues, where the owners either aim for 1st or last.

Non-participants can be culled without a demotion system. I think it would make sense though not to reward teams with a high guarantee for tanking, but that's just my opinion.

[z3r0s]

We're a year in and every owner has been great. No issues at all with anybody. I wouldn't want to remove anyone from this group unless they wanted to leave.

 

What about that True Cardinals guy? He can be a bit of a nob...

 

oh s***... this is a bit awkward

Wow I would have traded for a top 5 pick had I known a stud like Todd Redmond would be available in the waiver draft.

[The Cats Ass]

No, It wouldn't make sense for the 1st place teams in the BBDL to abandon the top tier team they have created only to take over a very low tier team in the DDL.

 

And it would make rebuilding a team 100% impossible.

Cuts processed.

[The Cats Ass]

Cuts processed.

 

Question, at cut time do we have to take prospects that have reached their limits off our MiLB roster and stick them on the MLB roster?

[Dr. Dinger]

Yes. If a prospect is over the PA/IP limit, they must be removed at the next cut date, otherwise they can be taken in the waiver draft, or picked up as a free agent.

[Dr. Dinger]

Puig, for example, can be kept on your MiLB roster through this cutdown, but as soon as he reaches 500 PAs, he needs to be promoted prior to the next cut (ie the summer draft). If I were you I'd probably call up Puig immediately after the Waiver Draft.

I was thinking immediately before opening day. That way it gives me an extra roster spot to work with all through spring training.

[Dr. Dinger]

Technically you could stash him until the summer if you wanted to, but that strategy seems best if you want to compete this year.

[The Cats Ass]

Ya, I thought about that too. But I figure I'm gonna try to compete this year, and his help should go a long way.

[The Cats Ass]

How could you cut Brett Cecil... Mrs Cecil won't be happy with you!

[Fearthedoc]

I have the luxury (well, not really -- more of a burden) of having a terrible 20th keeper. I'm still trying to see if there's one more pitcher I can add via prospect. I really don't want to have to keep Ryan Dempster.

[Dr. Dinger]

Just processed my own cuts:

Shitbags getting cut

David DeJesus

Brett Cecil

Joe Smith

Nick Vincent

 

It's nice to have an MLB ready 3B you can promote as soon as the season starts.

[Dr. Dinger]

Yeah. It would be nice if I could use the free spot on someone better than Buehrle though.

 

8 SPs seems like plenty, I'd probably care more about getting some bench depth.

[Fearthedoc]

If someone has some bats they are cutting, send me a message on the DDL forums first. I literally have no depth on my bench so I'll probably give away 116th MiLB for the best bat offered to me.

[KingKat]

I will trade you an OF for Dempster. I have too many as it is.

[Dr. Dinger]

I figure there should be sufficient bench depth in the waiver draft. Taking a flier on someone like Nick Markakis or David Murphy as a 4th OF is good enough for me.

 

I'm taking that attitude towards my bullpen.

[Fearthedoc]

Check DDL forums.

[Fearthedoc]

I'm taking that attitude towards my bullpen.

 

Same. Honestly here is my waiver draft:

 

1 spot -- promoting Castellanos

1 spot -- reserved for streaming/mid-season add

3 spots -- filling out my bullpen

 

That's why I care very little about the waiver draft. Last year I picked up Melancon, and Avilan from free agents. Both had 25+ holds and a sub 2.00 ERA. Releivers are a dime a dozen.

[torontofan]

So what is the order of the drafts?

 

Is it cut-down date, waiver, MiLB?
