A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[BTS]

ERA <4. Most years had a K/9 of 8 or more. Winning record. K/BB rate over 2. He'd be one of the top 5 pitchers on the Waiver Wire.

 

Uh...

[The Cats Ass]

Thanks guys for all the despairing...

[BTS]

You feeling properly despaired?

[The Cats Ass]

You feeling properly despaired?

 

Of course. You guys never disappoint.

[SpeedyGose]

If anyone is interested in gaining a bat for the stretch run, willing to move Werth, Ruggiano or Smith (packages including prospects can work too) looking for pitching

[KingKat]

Roark is on the table if anyone wants to offer a positional player of similar age/value.

[The Cats Ass]

While everyone is here I'll throw a cheaper option out there... Edinson Vólquez could be had!

[The Cats Ass]

Yes. I don't have 2 though. For the 2nd one I could include Strasburg in the deal, he's the closest guy I have (talent wise) to Volquez.

You're a good salesman. Now I might consider scooping him up off waivers next week.

[jaysblue]

Josh Collementer is on waivers now. Better scoop him up!

[BTS]

So, Chris Davis for Cano is looking like Darrell-on-Darrell butt-r.

[Laika]

You're just mad because you never beat me h2h.

 

Apparently Davis has a ~.350 xBABIP against his .260 actual BABIP. It doesn't explain the power drop, but take that FWIW.

[Laika]

But I don't even know where to find xBABIP. Does any site list it? I'm sure it's easily calculable based on LD/FB/GB/PO ratios, but that doesn't sounds very fun.

He's been hurt too, right? I couldn't believe when I saw his 94 wRC+ today. Assumed he was at least in the 120 range.

[BTS]

Also, yes I am mad about that.

[Laika]

He had a .372 OBP in March but only had two homers in 22G when he strained his oblique and hit the DL. Since then he hasn't hit for AVRIDGE at all.

 

To give an idea of whether or not a lot of it is a BABIP issue:

 

GB/.138/.237

LD/.591/.724

FB/.109/.138

Bunts/.1000/.376 (only 2 events)

 

Left # is Davis' BABIP on each event, right # is league average.

 

If his oblique is still nagging and he's not swinging hard, I guess it could conceivably cause BABIP issues, but that's obviously a stretch.

[Laika]

Anyways, you can get blue in the face over-analyzing stuff like that about specific players. As anyone like Lichtman or Tango would say, "season-to-date performance only matter insofar as it affects ROS projections".

[BTS]

Anybody have an SP4/5 type available? I don't really want to keep rostering Colby Lewis.

Chase Whitley is available. His PD stats are excellent despite the ERA tanking.

[Fearthedoc]

If anyone is interested in a Gyorko for SP type deal, let me know. Also willing to include prospects/picks depending on who it is.

[jays_fever]

Gyorko? As in the player BTS was shopping for 2 months Gyorko?

[Fearthedoc]

Yeah I'm trying to decide if that post-trade interest was legit, or trolling at BTS' expense.

Either way, nice work.

Ryan Vogelsong or Marco Estrada.

[z3r0s]

My DL starting rotation is starting to get pretty strong.

 

Tanaka

Bundy

Paxton

Johnson

Vargas

I expected Davis' production to be similar to his 2nd half last year/2012 season. I didn't expect him to turn into Chris Carter, so I'm guessing the oblique is still an issue.

[Dr. Dinger]

Ryan Vogelsong or Marco Estrada.

 

You mean the Marco Estrada who just lost his rotation spot? With this kind of misinformation, no wonder your team is badly underperforming their PR.

[BTS]

Marco Estrada, Chase Whitley, and Ryan Vogelsong are SP4/5 caliber now? Come on guys, this isn't the BBDL.

Goddamit

[The Cats Ass]

Vogelsong is a #4/5 starter for the Giants, is he not?
