A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

Yesterday's top 50 prospects, today's trash! Get your hot, steaming failures here!

[Fearthedoc]

Nice Peraza pick North. I don't expect much with the bat but the speed is obviously legit.

Why do I get the feeling all 6 of your 2015 picks will be traded by the end of the month.

[The Cats Ass]

Why do I get the feeling all 6 of your 2015 picks will be traded by the end of the month.

 

I have a feeling picks in rounds 3-6 won't hold much value. Seeing as how many have been disposed of this year. And how easy they are to get.

Normally I would agree, but dinger can spin straw into gold. He'll probably flip a 6th rounder for a stud SP.

Peraza will hit, just not for much power. Jose Altuve with more speed and can play SS if the Braves trade him. We're very excited to have join the pharm.

I will absolutely be trading my 1st and 2nd rouders ASAP.

 

You know, if I can spot a hole on my team.

[Dr. Dinger]

Turner could be a 40-50 SB guy.

 

This is how I talked myself into drafting Everth in PL.

Oh you! *blush*

NOTE TO LEAGUE!!!:

 

If anyone is going to trade a stud SP to Dinger for his 1st and 2nd rounders. I'd be willing to offer the same... EXCEPT my picks will be better!

Although Altuve did show more pop and a marginally better walk rate in the minors. Maybe I'm just being sour grapes because I wanted Peraza.

Do you really think I need any more SP depth?

 

Waino

Bumgarner

Sale

Anibal

Shields

Archer

Buerhle

Garza

Medlen

Arroyo

 

I think that's probably adequate for a 20 teamer. If I'm looking for anything it's a long-term 3B or a super utility type.

[Fearthedoc]

Jaysblue sighting. He'll probably pick soon which will put Spanky on the clock. I have a dental appointment so I'll be back around 12-12:30 to pick at 34.

I don't think you need anymore pitching. But you may think you need more pitching...

 

I actually think your team has too many All-Stars. That many big heads on one team will never work. You should probably trade some away for some late picks or Davidson or something.

[TRM]

Shocked Nola and Turner fell so far. Also Tellez is a hilariously bad pick.

 

I wss thrilled to get Nola where I did. I mean, super unsexy and still a pitcher so the risk is there, but as an older team with hopes of contending, the pitcher with the fastest teack to the majors and most likely to not bust out fit perfectly. Who wants to wait five years for prospects anyway?

Gibbers?

[NorthOf49]

Gibbers is a hard one to figure out. I don't understand most of the decisions he makes.

[The Cats Ass]

You just have to look at the big picture.

[Dr. Dinger]

Gibbers is a hard one to figure out. I don't understand most of the decisions he makes.

 

His farm is pretty weak for a team in 19th place. Drafting Osuna ahead of numerous Top 50 arms in the initial draft didn't help. For a guy who's so indifferent to the Jays, he sure reaches for their prospects frequently.

Davidson blows. Couldn't I just grab Moustakas off the FA pile if I wanted that player?

 

I assume Moose is a FA at this point, without actually looking.

He just hasn't come out of the closet yet

Moose won't/can't win ROY though.

Yeah I noticed that. Frazier is his only prospect that I think much of (although Baez was promoted). When Torontofan posted in here that Gibbers took Rowdy Tellez at 11 I thought it was a joke. Would any of us know who that guy is if some other team drafted him?

 

He has more MLB talent than Boxy, but I think Boxy could be a contender sooner.

I like the pick. Nola has some sneaky upside IMO. If his command improves even more, there's no reason he can't be a real contributor for you.

[Dr. Dinger]

I think boxy will have an intriguing team by 2016, and I don't mean that in my typical backhanded way.

[The Cats Ass]

Boxy is moving up. I felt he was lacking high upside SP prospects. But he obviously fixed that in this draft.

[TRM]

Is it wrong I'm kind of excited for my rebuild in t minus two years?

[z3r0s]

Is it wrong I'm kind of excited for my rebuild in t minus two years?

 

Contending is the ultimate goal, but rebuilds can be quite satisfying as well. I haven't had time to see results yet, but promoting Taveras, Singleton, Polanco, Ventura, Paxton, and Montero this year has been quite exciting. Adding Tanaka and hopefully getting Bundy back. Sure hope this works

Nola's curveball is sexy.

 

I'm back now...will catch up on all things Darrell shortly.

[Fearthedoc]

Ok, I've done enough research that I can now start legitimately being disappointed when guys are sniped ahead of me.

 

Haha same. Last year I had to sit through posts of "AWWWW" and "NOOOOOOOO", while I'm just like "right.. I um.. know who that guy is.. damn.."

 

Now I actually have a list prepared and it's killing me when some of these guys get selected. You grow so attached to the prospect of owning them.

At this point I have so many guys on my board that I have the opposite reaction when one gets picked lol.

 

It's hard to differentiate between them. Hitters have tools, may or may not be performing at a low level. Pitchers have stuff but some control issues. If a guy gets popped it makes my job easier.
