A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

If we don't make that trade, he might have taken the title and I would still have Fernandez. Everybody lost that trade.

 

lol yep

[KingKat]

I recall having a conversation with NJH offline, where I had Stroman on my board, but I let him have him. And I took Richie f***ing Shaffer instead. Wow.

 

Is it fair to say you sold Stroman... short.

 

[NorthOf49]

Okay it's trade #78 now. It wasn't posted in a Yahoo or Proboards thread so I missed it.

 

Lester + Zimmerman is a lot of talent. Although both were later flipped for subpar returns.

[Boxcar]

Hmm, I'll look into it. It was part of a Zimmerman trade.

 

Isn't everything?

[Spanky99]

Trading down in the initial draft doesn't look great.

 

- Spanky traded slot 4 (Miguel Cabrera, Byron Buxton) for slot 17 (Justin Verlander, Taijuan Walker).

- KingKat traded slot 8 (Prince Fielder, Jose Fernandez) for slot 3 (Giancarlo Stanton, Carlos Correa).

- jays_fever traded slot 5 (Andrew McCutchen, Zack Wheeler) for slot 16 (Stephen Strasburg, Billy Hamilton).

 

Obviously the slots are more than the top two players, but missing out on the elite talent looks costly.

 

The only reason I did that was to get another player in the top 25, can't remember who I took and Verlander went on to s*** the bed for a first pick the following year, ugghhh

[Spanky99]

I think it was Joey Bats! ^^^

Ah, the good ol' days when we would talk on the phone until 3am every night <3

 

No YOU hang up!

[Spanky99]

I think I took Hoffman with 6 which is kind of meh. Should have just taken Gray. I should remind myself of this so I'm not tempted to cut bait prematurely on Hoffman. If I ride it out, it could still work out.

 

Hoffman's going to be a beast, if he stays healthy, flipping pitchers.

lol

[Laika]

I'm just happy Dinger traded Fernandez himself, I remember looking at his roster when Jose was pitching out of his mind and feeling pretty despaired.

 

I was inches from landing Wainwright for Salazar+ when Dinger got mental and offered Fernandez + Carpenter.

 

I wasn't sure whether to be mad or happy. In hindsight, happy. I would have regretted the trade. Also, f*** Dinger.

 

Salazar

Harvey

Fiers

Mondesi

#16 (Pompey)

Waino

Pujols

Fowler

 

I was able to turn Fiers into Fowler into Steve Pearce, who is better than Pujols, anyway.

[NorthOf49]

TGD has Steve Pearce ranked 368th lol. Seems like we're ahead of the community on him.

 

That is a lot of talent being offered.

[Dr. Dinger]

Pearce is going to get DFAed by the All-Star Break.

[Laika]

Designated For All-Star game'd?

[Dr. Dinger]

Designated For All-Star game'd?

 

Designated for assignment. Like he was last year. But again.

[Laika]

I don't get it. Like, assignment to an all star team?

[BTS]

Pearce is going to get DFAed by the All-Star Break.

 

I really hope this happens

[Boxcar]

I really hope this happens

So when exactly does the waiver draft get underway?

[GeorgiaPeach]

So when exactly does the waiver draft get underway?

 

Finally getting a chance to scour the wire. I should be making my pick sometime tomorrow.

[BTS]

Doesn't officially start until Sunday sometime, right?

[Laika]

Doesn't officially start until Sunday sometime, right?

 

Correct, Sunday 9am.

 

Even if Gibbers announces his pick early, the draft doesn't officially begin until ^ then. Just in case Olivera/Iglesias get added last minute by Yahoo, randomly.

[TheHurl]

He got Pujols too. I had your offer behind another until I went to the guru Nox who said I'd be stupid not to take Salazar.

[BTS]

Looks like Josh Hamilton won't be ready for opening day.

[jaysblue]

Looks like Josh Hamilton won't be ready for opening day.

 

He's a complete mess. I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole in any league.

[BTS]

He's a complete mess. I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole in any league.

 

He looks finished as an average MLB starter. Still someone I'd like as a 4th fantasy OF though.

[Laika]

At one point you told me that the other offer in play was Appel + Buccholz + a 1st. lol.

[BTS]

Still better than the package that almost landed you Bautista.

[Laika]

Still better than the package that almost landed you Bautista.

 

Disagree. Neise + Renfroe are both slightly better than Buccholz and Appel.
