A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[NorthOf49]

Every time I read a BP tweet, chat or article, I know a third of the league has already read it lol. So frustrating.

 

Parks has been blowing up Tapia for a while. He's going to have an Oscar Taveras-like rise to elite prospect-dom.

[KingKat]

That's some good statscouting thurr.

 

I kid. Baseball Prospectus has been pimping him hard this year, big helium. Loud tools, great body, CF profile, young for full season ball.

 

Nice. Sounds like he could be this year's Rosell Herrera.

Ehhh, Parks' record is hit and miss. I remember a chat in 2012 where I asked him to pick between Bogaerts and Cuthbert, and he basically said it was a coinflip.

But to be less flip, if you can find any kind of breakout hitter, you have to draft him. There's pitching for days. Some good ones will go undrafted but trying to find a hitter is looking for needles in a haystack.

[Dr. Dinger]

I still don't know or care who Rosell Herrera is.

 

I can't wait til this draft is over so I can trade next year's picks.

You and i have had polar opposite approaches to this league

 

Man I hope this pays off in the long term haha.

[Boxcar]

Holy s*** I just looked at my phone. Till now i guess my math was wrong last night i did not think there was anyway to comeback at 9pm last night. f*** me now i feel good lol.

 

You're welcome. I done f***ed up.

[Sammy225]

What happened??????? I no players in the late game unless someone out of your BP blew up i don't see how it was possible.

Yeah I drafted Cuthbert last year partly because of Parks. Although he had stopped blowing Cuthbert up at that point. Parks/BP do the best job covering the low minors, which is what's useful for this league. It's harder to get info on more obscure guys out of KLaw and BA.

 

Just noticed that Parks actually answered a question in the offseason re: Herrera/Tapia:

 

Q: Surprised no Rosell Herrera! esp slotting Tapia ahead of him…

 

A: Herrera is a good example of stat line scouting. He doesn't profile at SS; more of a super utility type in CF and left-side infield. Very valuable player to an org, but I'll take the guy with the loud tools and high impact upside.

JBJ and Nava got played when I should have benched them and it flipped OBP to you.

Well i appreciate that.

[Dr. Dinger]

Alan youre on the clock brah.

[Fearthedoc]

I have a question. I know the cut down date to get picks + minor leaguers to 12 was 11:59 on Saturday, but now that it's passed, can I still cut players from my farm?

 

Or do I have to wait until the draft concludes?

[Dr. Dinger]

You can cut players at any time, if I'm bot mistaken. It just won't resurrect a dissolved pick.

Rosell Herrera was a breakout Rockies shortstop last year. I had him on my board and kicked myself for not drafting him but as it turns out he really sucks this year which makes me feel better. In hindsight it seems like his numbers last year were greatly inflated by the fact that he was repeating a level. That may have factored in why I waffled on him and why nobody else drafted him either. I was just yanking some chain with the comparison.

Okay good that's what I was wondering. I'm thinking along the terms of a trade, if I currently offered someone _____ for _____ + their upcoming pick.

Yeah Herrera was looking good but it looks like Story has reemerged.

That being said, I don't think a Rosell Herrera goes undrafted this year. There were some many more hitters last year. Odor went in the 2nd round, Franco in the 3rd and Betts in the 5th. I don't see anything like that happening this year.

Different year, different Story. (I'll show myself out.)

If anyone wants my clock right now, up for grabs for something nice + a later pick. I'll give it until 1pm, if nothing happens I will make my selection.

If there's any piece off my ML team that gets it done + 80th overall, PM me.

Okie dokes. My internet is being unbearably slow for some reason so give me a bit.

[Dr. Dinger]

Anybody want Tom Koehler for a pick upgrade? Tommy La Stella is also available.

[Fearthedoc]

If anyone wants David Phelps for a pick upgrade let me know. Should get an extended look as the Yanks starter, or if he goes to the pen, holds from the SP position which is a major plus.

 

EDIT: Also willing to part with one of my holds guys for a good upgrade.

[Fearthedoc]

North, Jeremy Affeldt could be yours for a measly 10 pick upgrade (31 to 21).

[z3r0s]

Looks like Boxy made a pick. Anyone know if therealmin will be checking in?

Replied to your PM.

 

I'm hoping to land two of three guys at 21/25... probably won't be able to get two of them at 25/31. And my holds guys have been great! I'm 5th in holds with 37.

He hasn't been online since Thursday. Who knows if he's even aware that the draft is happening. An email notification is probably necessary.

[Fearthedoc]

If anyone who selects in the next 10 picks is looking for a holds option, I will part with 31 and a reliever for a pick upgrade.

[z3r0s]

realmin is at work (so may not be able to pick). He does know it is his pick tho.
