GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Exactly. In a redraft league rn I take CarGo pretty easily but Yelich in a dynasty league is a really valuable commodity imo.
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I like Yelich and think he's a guy you can build around and all that, but he doesn't have the explosive upside of CarGo. Also, Yelich is an extreme ground ball hitter (63.3% career) so he'll need to make serious changes to his swing and approach to hit for good power.

I feel like people forget sometimes that Yelich isn't even 23 until December and still has a 117 wRC+ through almost 750 PA. Kid can hit. Wouldn't be surprising to see him have a good run of J.D. Drew type seasons. Edited August 15, 2014 by BTS
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Not going to be near a computer next week (my one week of summer vacation), so I won't be very responsive to trade talk. Back on the 25th.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 I'm going to toot my horn a little on Greg Bird. No one pays him much mind because he's a 1B prospect, but he's got pop and he walks a ton. I could see him quietly becoming a LaRochian bat for the Stankees. He's 21 and doing some damage in AA, and he's never had a wRC+ below 133 at any level. At the very least, it's safe to say he'll have a better career than Jesse Winker. I will bet you that Winker has a higher wRC+ his first 3 years than Greg Bird.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 I offered you a fair price for Lee, pre-injury knob jockey. Really? Rizzo is worth more than Lee alone, pretty easily. Near .900 OPS 1B who hits 30-35 homers and is 24.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 I will bet you that Winker has a higher wRC+ his first 3 years than Greg Bird. Sure.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 And there it is, 20 RBIs on the day. My team put up 20 total last week. HAHAHAHA HOLY s*** It's a lost year and you're a top team so I think Hurl and I are pretty okay with this week but BTS' reaction will make it just SO FUNNY.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 And there it is, 20 RBIs on the day. My team put up 20 total last week. Jackass...I barely even have a chance to improve my pick.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 And there it is, 20 RBIs on the day. My team put up 20 total last week. Your offense is horrifying.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Sure. 20 dollars and your soul will be mine
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I will bet you that Winker has a higher wRC+ his first 3 years than Greg Bird. Who the f*** is greg bird?
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Looks like I lost 5-8 to a rebuilding team. Time to start the fire sale...? Who will offer me the best item for Abreu? And Shields?
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Nolan Reimold is also availlble
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Looks like I lost 5-8 to a rebuilding team. Time to start the fire sale...? Who will offer me the best item for Abreu? And Shields? Its because my team is #sneakygood Just need a few more pieces which hopefully will emerge from the farm
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Who the f*** is greg bird? Some scrub whom Dinger is in love with.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Who the f*** is greg bird? A guy who will be giving the Yankees 25 HR/.370 OBP in a couple years while you wonder why you never paid attention to him before.
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 A guy who will be giving the Yankees 25 HR/.370 OBP in a couple years while you wonder why you never paid attention to him before. If he's decent, he'll never survive in the Yankees farm long enough to make it to the majors. He'll probably end up with the Marlins or something.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 At the sake of formatting, I'm pleased with my Boxy tag this week. http://i.imgur.com/sHVyLl5.jpg

He'll probably end up with the Marlins or something. He's already in AA, he'll probably debut next year when Teixiera is forced to retire with a bum wrist.

Why don't you guys ever root for a good prospect like Teoscar Hernandez? The next George Springer...
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Anyone want Jason Vargas as a nice back-end starter option for this year? I can't see myself rostering him over the winter, but he has been solid this year. I'd be looking for future assets for him.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I'll listen on CarGo if anyone wants him for next year, but not gonna just dump him. Ryan Vogelsong?
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Can someone check the ownership on Rymer Liriano? Please and thank you.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 You should be on bended knee thanking me for sending him your way for only a crappy 3rd instead of trolling me! But I'll let it slide, you're probably not thinking clearly in 5th place. Aww that's cute. 1st in the MC is still a novelty for you.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I'm embarassed to be in 2nd, so I can't imagine how you two losers must feel.
SpeedyGose Verified Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Can someone check the ownership on Rymer Liriano? Please and thank you. He's one of my prospects
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 He's one of my prospects O.K. I dropped him before anything counted. Grabbed Michael Taylor instead.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 O.K. I dropped him before anything counted. I think this means you're relegated to the BBDL.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 My condolences. If I were KK I'd probably just quit fantasy ball.
