A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[The Cats Ass]

I'll do #69! And you should always pick 69 over 66...

[NorthOf49]

z3r0s doesn't seem to need picks.

[z3r0s]

lots of offers coming in and I'm shocked nobody has offered me a budding superstar yet .

 

I'll certainly be dealing him by the end of the day, so if any offer has come in that needs quicker resolution than that, please let me know so I can keep that in mind.

[z3r0s]

I'd send you Chen for him if you really don't get a better offer.

 

Sorry bud, better offer on the table.

[z3r0s]

I was really hoping so for your sake, lol.

 

not better enough for my liking

Speedy, you dick, Liriano was obviously the choice here.

 

Hah. I was never going to deal EE in a move where pitchers were the feature.

 

Also...graphs!

Those look like skid marks. Seems appropriate.

[Dr. Dinger]

Can someone graph K rates for those leagues and timeframes? Wily Mo Gallo and his mistake-hitting ways will make a fine Japanese Home Run King some day.

[Dr. Dinger]

Anybody else remember when Brandon Wood was a lock for 40 HR? Good times.

[Laika]

Not really understanding the utility of charting ISO against HR rate.

[NorthOf49]

Not really understanding the utility of charting ISO against HR rate.

I think the point was just that Gallo has the best power in recent low minors history by a wide margin, both in terms of HR rate and ISO.

[Nox]

Lol comparing Wily Mo's minor league numbers to Gallo's.

From Law's chat today...Kyle from Dallas = Grant from the Soo

 

Kyle (Dallas)

 

 

 

Does Joey Gallo warrant a call-up to AA ball? From listening to the games I get the impression that he can sometimes be bored at the plate by not being challenged.

 

Klaw (2:18 PM)

 

 

 

No, he doesn't. I can't say I advise anyone to scout off the radio.

Can we stop talking about Pedro Alvarez 2,.0 plz

[BTS]

Guys, enough about the next Mark Trumbo.

[The Cats Ass]

Clint Eastwood is the only guy on this earth that can successfully scout by listening to the radio. Grant's full of s*** if he says he can.

Never ever mention that move in a positive light again

The slope of the line doesn't mean much in terms of something real but it's a convenient way to show how much he stands out in 2 metrics (even though they're tightly related).

Strikeouts are bad!!! <- Analysis in this thread

[TheHurl]

I'd like to point out that Jim Negrych had a .370/.448/.510 line in the Carolina league as a 22 year old.

[Dr. Dinger]

Bad isn't the issue, it's whether or not they're so bad that they're indicative of a fatal flaw that won't be overcome at higher levels.

[Nox]

I'd like to point out that Jim Negrych had a .370/.448/.510 line in the Carolina league as a 22 year old.

 

More importantly, he only struck out 12% of the time. ZOMG how did he not make it? I thought he was the previous Mookie Betts!??!?

[BTS]

So if anyone doesn't want to wait for a Gallo to develop, Mark Reynolds is available right now!

[Nox]

I'm aware of what the implication means. Obviously people would take a 230 wRC+ if he struck out 26% of the time.

 

The power is huge, his swing and miss is down (more than his raw K rates even) and he's basically no swinging at balls this year. Not sure what people want exactly.

[SpeedyGose]

So. Much. Crow.

[Nox]

So if anyone doesn't want to wait for a Gallo to develop, Mark Reynolds is available right now!

 

Joking aside, what would be wrong with a Mark Reynolds clone in fantasy? .350 wOBA for 5 years from a 3B is pretty useful.

[Nox]

So if anyone doesn't want to wait for a Gallo to develop, Mark Reynolds is available right now!

 

Zips thinks he's .349 ROS? Wow, that seems high.

[Dr. Dinger]

That Mark Reynolds 40/20 campaign won a lot of people fantasy championships that year.

[BTS]

Zips thinks he's .349 ROS? Wow, that seems high.

 

With Belt injured he's actually my starting 1B in the DDL right now. Projections are weirdly bullish on him.
