A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[BTS]

Well at least you have Gyorko turning it around with a zesty .837 OPS over the last month.

 

Ohhhhhh, wait...

 

I don't feel bad about that. The entire league had weeks to make an offer on him, and nobody wanted to offer even a 2nd.

[BTS]

Anybody want to take a flier on Trevor Cahill? I'd like to move him today for a prospect that isn't completely terrible. He's only 26 and has had a sub-4 xFIP in 5 of the last 6 years, 3.69 this year.

[Dr. Dinger]

I remember trying to trade for Cahill sometime last season and he was untouchable. I won't name names.

 

Pitchers!

[BTS]

I see the Kyle Gibson experiment has ended.

[torontofan]

Wada available for a pick if anyone is lookign for pitching reinforcements.

 

Is it bad that I had no clue who Wada was?

[Dr. Dinger]

Wow, rape job by North on the Shields deal.

[BTS]

Yeah, I really really like this for North.

[jaysblue]

Wow Shields hardly went for anything.

[GD]

What was the Shields deal?

[Dr. Dinger]

Two low minor fringe Top 50 guys and a late 1st? And 2nd going back with Shields? I really don't get this one. Shields has plenty of good years left and Cats Ass could easily have contended next year.

 

Shields went for Ventura & Giolito this tome last year and he's just as good now.

[NorthOf49]

Two certain top 100 prospects (both top 60 IMO) and a first-rounder. It's fair value.

 

Two low minor fringe Top 50 guys and a late 1st?

Peraza was almost called up recently with Andrelton out! Should see action next year.

[GD]

North respond to the basketball league invite you bike

[Dr. Dinger]

Peraza has a UTIL profile and Reyes has a walk problem. Neither is the elite prospect Shields should have returned.

[NorthOf49]

Will later today. At work.

[The Cats Ass]

Well you guys should have offered more. I like the return. Both are guys that are better then what their rankings are. Alex Reyes was a 19 year old in A-ball, It's also a plus that he's a Card. Jose Peraza is the 2nd best 2B prospect behind only Mookie Betts.

[torontofan]

I also really like this deal for North.

[BTS]

Oh, Darvish out for the season, you don't say.

Pitchers!

[BTS]

Pitchers!

 

Can't rely on them, but can't win without them. f*** pitchers.

[torontofan]

Joc Pederson becomes the first Pacific Coast League player in 80 years to join the 30-30 club and the 4th in PCL history.

[SpeedyGose]

Can't rely on them, but can't win without them. f*** pitchers.

 

It really is tough to find a balance.

 

I'm doing my best to be like the Cubs, stacking as much offensive talent as I can and then moving a couple pieces for some pitching when I'm ready to contend

[Dr. Dinger]

Oh, Darvish out for the season, you don't say.

Wow Shields hardly went for anything.

 

My thoughts exactly

[Boxcar]

Good god, two teams have had a worse offense than me? That doesn't even seem possible.

 

Really? You had actual doubts about my offense being worse than yours?

[BTS]

Really? You had actual doubts about my offense being worse than yours?

 

You actually have a better team OPS than me this year.

[Dr. Dinger]

You actually have a better team OPS than me this year.

 

It's pretty crazy that this is even possible for a division contender in a league this deep.

[BTS]

I feel very lucky to be going to the playoffs given how bad my players have been. But I feel very unlucky that so many of my players have s*** the bed. The baseball gods giveth, the baseball gods taketh away.

[Fearthedoc]

This is the first time I've seen TCA make a bad deal (well, that is before Shields gets TJS next week)

This is probably a bad time to mention that Choo is having season-ending elbow surgery, huh?

[BTS]

Yeah, I saw that. I'm really hoping the ankle/elbow were behind the poor season and he's back to normal when healthy next year.
