A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[The Cats Ass]

Both guys mentioned are head and shoulders better than what you currently have for 3B.

[BTS]

I can't wait for the Kluber-Carpenter trade to go down.

Daniel Murphy is better than Carpenter. He should send Kluber my way.

[Fearthedoc]

Did we ever make a final ruling on moving the season back a week, or do we still need to vote on that? I know a lot of people are interested in ending the season a week earlier.

I'd be for this.

[BTS]

Yeah. Though I think the bigger issue was players who were shut down late in the year and not added to the DL. Some teams went through the playoffs with multiple roster spots wasted on keepers that were shut down.

[BTS]

I propose a pDL (pretend DL.)

 

I like the idea, but the name doesn't really do it for me. What about... xDL?

[GD]

It sounds like xFIP so it must be good.

[BTS]

But seriously, if yahoo does IR+ next year like they do for hockey, it would be a lot better.

[jaysblue]

Yeah. Though I think the bigger issue was players who were shut down late in the year and not added to the DL. Some teams went through the playoffs with multiple roster spots wasted on keepers that were shut down.

 

This was a problem for me in multiple leagues this year. Guys like Castro, Stanton, Beltran, Morse etc were holding up roster spots when they weren't going to play again.

[BTS]

When you have the opportunity to get older and frailer you do it every time, right?

 

I really like the Ramirez trade for you, but I'm happy that you didn't get someone more studly. Don't like the Liriano + Hudson for Hamilton deal at all for you.

[BTS]

It's weird that you only have six starters. I'm used to you having a small army of good SPs.

Ramirez could still have a couple good years left in him.

[BTS]

Ramirez could still have a couple good years left in him.

 

Oh he's definitely solid, but a 36-year old 110 wRC+ guy is decidedly less sexy than, say, Evan Longoria.

[BTS]

I'm keeping Jaime Garcia...

 

He'll probably throw 200 innings of 2.5 ERA ball and win the NL CY then.

Ya, is much rather see Hurl hold onto all his nice third baseman than trade them to a competitor.

[BTS]

I tried, but Hurl's negotiating ploy was too crafty for me.

 

I'm legitimately surprised you guys couldn't find a deal. Hurl has 3 excellent 3B, and you're a contender with a big 3B need and a lot of assets. Thought for sure you'd make a deal.

[Fearthedoc]

I almost moved Ramirez for a closer and was like "Wait this is stupid.. closers are going for 2nd/3rd round MiLB picks." My strategy was too liquidate Aramis to a first rounder. That way I can get under the cut limit, and trade that first rounder for a good reliever after rosters expand.

Yeah I was worried about this too. SG is the only manager who expressed any interest in Aramis so if he reached a deal with Hurl I was f***ed.

[Fearthedoc]

Yea it felt like a no brainer, but we didn't agree on values it seems.

 

I'm actually quite happy with this, both those guys should contribute solid counting stats if healthy and I kept the luscious part of my rotation intact.

 

The only thing I don't get is the Hamilton part for you. You already seemed set with Morneau/Werth/CarGo/Dickerson/Bruce.

[GD]

I liked the Hamilton deal for him personally. Ily SG! <333

[BTS]

So

 

Kluber

Hamels

Darvish

McHugh

deGrom

McCarthy

Garcia

 

Fuuuuck. Really hoping for McHugh and deGrom to just go away.

[Boxcar]

Hamilton suxxxxxxx

[BTS]

I liked the Hamilton deal for him personally

 

Why?

[Abomination]

I'm assuming you guys are talking about Billy Hamilton?

[Boxcar]

Why?

 

Because he has an unexplainable Ben Revere-esque love for Jesusy Josh.

[Boxcar]

I'm assuming you guys are talking about Billy Hamilton?

 

No, Josh, but they both blow chunks

[GD]

Because he has an unexplainable Ben Revere-esque love for Jesusy Josh.

 

I'm not a big Tim Hudson fan

[Dr. Dinger]

Yeah I was worried about this too. SG is the only manager who expressed any interest in Aramis so if he reached a deal with Hurl I was f***ed.

 

That's not true, I offered you Fart Buerhle for Aramis.

[Boxcar]

That's not true, I offered you Fart Buerhle for Aramis.

 

You are such an *******
