A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

That must have been David Murphy, no?

 

I almost kept him too, no idea why I let the coredick flounder so long.

 

I dunno, proboards says Daniel Murphy. I think it actually was David though.

[Laika]

Yeah, if it was Dan Murphy he would have gone top ~5 for sure.

[KingKat]

How long will the windows be in this draft?

[Laika]

12, no timeouts over night.

[KingKat]

Waiver #5 is on the board if someone wants to jump up at the last minute (presumably to nab one of the top closing options).

[BTS]

I have once again been utterly despaired by KingKat.

Really?

Really?

 

Indeed.

Who's Dinger chasing at waiver #5?

Danny Santana

I don't think so. Dinger rarely buys into anomalous 1-year performances. Souza, Kang, and Tomas will be gone. Not sure who else is that interesting after.

 

Also, I sent you a PM.

I know lol was just joking.

Maybe a crafty guy like Despaigne?

Or a swift CF like Rajai?

Or a reliable closer like Hawkins?

 

Should be interesting.

I figured Hawkins or someone a lot like him was going there which is why I traded the pick. I have no idea if that's what he has in mind or not.

28 MiLB seems very steep for a guy like that.

I sure hope so, but I'd think not.

 

There are probably no fewer than 30 relievers that I'd easily take over Latroy.

SO MUCH NAME DROPPING!!!!

I was just being facetious. I see a few interesting guys available but I won't name drop. They could slide to #13 for me!

[TRM]

I know this is far too late to bring this up actually expecting a change, and I'm not even upset about it per se, more just curious to hear the rationale, but how come I (or whoever the third place finisher is) gets dropped to draft slot 18? I think it makes more sense to go reverse order of standings, with the exception being the two finalists. Maybe something to think about for next year, I don't know if anyone really cares or not.

You mean use regular season standings for slotting everyone except for the champ? So the person finishing 8th but winning a playoff round or two would still pick 13th?

 

I think there just is not a material difference between any of the slots for playoff teams (13-20). Pick #13 might be worth a wee bit more than pick #20, but certainly pick #33 isn't worth anything more than pick #40.

 

It makes sense to give the champion the last pick, so we just carried that logic down through the other two podium finishers, and then the rest of the playoff teams.

 

We could randomize pick slots for every playoff team except for the league champion. That might seem more fair, but then again, the playoffs are basically a randomizer anyway.

[BTS]

I don't think it matters enough to change the way we've done it for the first two years.

[Dr. Dinger]

A mid-2nd rounder is about what you can expect to pay for a back end closer anyway, just thought I'd jump the line a bit. Or maybe I'm looking to trade up? I'll never tell.

[TRM]

I don't have a strong opinion either way, just something that came to me and figured I would bring it up for the people to discuss.

[z3r0s]

You can just feel the jealousy ooze through the screen when those BBDL guys post here.

It's really just sad.

[Dr. Dinger]

Wait, DDL doesn't slot by regular season standings? LOL

 

Why would we? That makes zero sense.

[BTS]

Why would we? That makes zero sense.

 

You're talking to the guy who's steering the BBDL ship.

[Dr. Dinger]

Because playoffs are a crapshoot and guys tank the playoff series once they lose once.

 

Speak for yourself. In the DDL, we fight it out for 5th place. We have this thing called pride.

[Dr. Dinger]

Who the hell would throw a playoff matchup to move up from #16 to #15? If they want it that bad, let them have it.

[Chappy]

That is despicable if true.
