A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

Yeah, the trade is largely Pompey for Souza IMO.

 

Souza's ZiPS and Steamer are both pretty pedestrian now actually. I think his Steamer changed.

 

AJ Cole is an unfortunately promoted prospect who had little value to me, marginal trade value, but could have a lot of value for a rebuilder like KK.

Span ended up being very good last year but KK will need to find a flip partner.

 

It's pretty hilarious that LOD draftsheets and circle jerks were predicated on early Steamer 600 projections for him. It's like every season, people forget that initial projections change substantially on unknowns like Souza before opening day.

[Dr. Dinger]

Lest we forget North telling us about Burch Smith's 200 K projection circa February 2014.

Apparently the Rays are using slightly outdated Steamer information

[Laika]

Or they are using PECOTA:

what's the logic behind providing a weighted mean of percentile chance outcomes?

So after the draft do all the players have to go through waivers before any more are picked up? Or do they go right to FA?

They'll all be put on waivers.

[The Cats Ass]

Oh.

The Rays think Wil Myers is an uncoachable idiot and an overrated hitter, that's what it comes down to.

[Sammy225]

My pick correct?

That explains half of the trade. They still picked Souza as the big piece back for some reason or another.

[Laika]

yessir

[NorthOf49]

I thought the big piece back was Burch?

[Sammy225]

Edinson Volquez KC

[Laika]

lol

 

actually it's entirely possible that Tampa sees Rivera as the most valuable piece that they got

[Dr. Dinger]

I think they see Souza as above replacement level, not a star. They probably see Myers as on the precipice of a major value drop. He still has brand value, for now. Another awful season changes that significantly.

[Fearthedoc]

I'll be the guy who takes A-Rod, and will probably drop him before April.

[TRM]

Meh, I think I speak for most people who are hoping to compete this year when I say I definitely thought about A-Rod a little bit the last two rounds. Worth a shot at this point, I think.

[Dr. Dinger]

I thought about it, but no contribution is worth rooting for him unless it's MVP level.

[Boxcar]

Sorry FeatherD, you woke up before me

[Boxcar]

Oh you're one of those people.

Yes, I don't like to own dislikable, non-superstar players. Sorry Papa Grande and K-Rod! I make exceptions for elite players, see: Puig.

 

Although actually, I like Puig's flair. He hasn't done anything heinous yet that I'm aware of.

He was late for warmups one time. I'll never forgive him for that.

 

As big of a douche A-Rod is, he's been one of my favourite players since I was like 10 years old. I can't shake wanting him to succeed in the face of everyone wanting him to fail.

[Laika]

I can't shake wanting him to succeed in the face of everyone wanting him to fail.

 

I kind of feel the same way. It would be nice if he could turn into a reliable veteran 1B/DH for few more years, thereby blocking Greg Bird's path to playing time.

Why can't we ever just agree on something without you being a childish ********?

[TRM]

Plus it would be a lot of fun if he gets his 109 HRs over the next four years and passed Bonds. The sports world would explode.
