A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

The player Gibbers gets doesn't have to be anywhere near Tanaka or Abreu to make him worth more than Trevor Rosenthal though.

It's an interesting risk/reward thing I guess. Gibbers is betting that three good hitters come out of Cuba and Maeda gets posted. If that happens, he'll come out having made a great deal.

I nab who I deem the best available player in the draft no matter what anyways

[jays_fever]

Isn't he mashing in the triple A version of the Pro Japanese league?

[Boxcar]

What, Eddie Butler doesn't float your boat?

 

Ouch.

[Boxcar]

Wow, when Gibbers asked me for my 3rd, I thought there was no way in hell anyone would pay anything close to that. Guess I was wrong.

[Laika]

ProBoards trade block page views are probably a decent measure of have active somebody is in trade discussions.

 

TCA has 1382 views on his block

No49 has 1337

BTS 794

 

Nobody else is even close. A few teams don't even have triple digits.

Without getting in to specifics about the other offer, I saw that you could offer up something very close, so I put it out there to see if you'd bite or not.

I think it just means those 3 have OCD and click their own page every 5 minutes.

[Laika]

probably, true.

[Orgfiller]

That Rosenthal guy can handle the pressure...

[KingKat]

I'm sitting at #5 in the waiver draft and my research tells there's a decent chance that there will be somebody good for me so I really like Gibbers' chances. This waiver draft won't be as top heavy as Tanaka Abreu but it should go a little deeper.

Yeah, no worries. I applaud you getting nice value out of Rosenthal. In retrospect, I basically stole Romo.

[Dr. Dinger]

Is Romo even a closer?

[Boxcar]

Is Romo even a closer?

 

He will be. Does it matter? He's still a really good reliever.

[Dr. Dinger]

Of course it matters; it's the only thing that matters.

[Boxcar]

Shut up.

[Boxcar]

He's a late inning ROOGY. I wouldn't use him vs L in leverage spots myself.

 

You too.

[NorthOf49]

Romo is a free agent who will get a closing gig. I'd give him a good chunk of cash and would be happy if the Blue Jays went after him. All of Romo's peripherals are exactly the same as they were a few years ago.

 

I like Boxy's acquisition of him very much.

[Dr. Dinger]

I traded Romo about a year and a half ago in FC for Nick Franklin, then flipped Franklin for Gausman. That's how you profit, son.

[BTS]

Even if he's a setup guy, Boxy will be able to flip him for better than the 64th pick as soon as rosters expand. More rebuilding teams should be buying relievers on the cheap in the offseason IMO.

If only I could be as handsome, charming and cunning as you.

[Dr. Dinger]

Agreed.

 

On an unrelated note, ACTUAL closer Joaquin Benoit is available for a late 2nd/early 3rd round pick. First come first serve.

[Dr. Dinger]

If only I could be as handsome, charming and cunning as you.

 

I don't think I'm all that charming. Cunning, yes.

Building team's already have a bunch of young players at the end of their roster that they would like to keep. That's why Gibber's made the move he did, it allows him to keep someone else and gain an additional good asset as well.

[Laika]

Actual closer KRod is also available for something similar to the Benoit swap.

[Fearthedoc]

Looking to flip Aramis Ramirez for a good closer or picks package.

[Dr. Dinger]

This has nothing to do with anything, but I just saw deadmau5 drive by in a ridiculously sick white McLaren.
