What? Of course he would!

 

Don't splash effect despair me cuz Boxy likes to mouth off, dammit!

 

I like this trade for ya. I had offered an OFer for Scherzer too. I'm a fan of the inverted L.

Pretty fair trade imo. NJH wasn't going to trade Scherzer without getting a premium bat in return, and he gets one. Scherzer is the more valuable asset though, he's a workhorse with super-elite skills and CoreDick has some questions. So NJH getting extra stuff kicked in make sense.

Billy McKinney profiles as a no power 4th OF. No big loss.

 

Uh oh, Dinger busting out the BP handbook once again.

Unfortunately, I have him in the jr. league so I'd only be half laughing. Guess I should sell...

Even Fangraphs puts a 45 FV on him. He's Coghlan, Pillar, Grossman, etc.

I like that you speak with such certainty.

WTF happened to Winker's ISO, anyway? It's like his bat doesn't play up against advanced pitching. Maybe a bat speed issue. If only someone could have seen this coming!

 

Next Joey Votto tho, amirite?

Why is he not striking out very much, then?

Man, Billy Burns might be a dude. Maybe Gardner with less pop.

 

40 FV, no top 100 ranking though; org guy/AAAA player

He's already 50 PV! He's basically Winker + 40 SB upside.

 

Dammit! I had him on my roster last year. Tanking and dumpster diving seems simple on the surface but even when you favour that as a goal over immediate contention, you still miss out on a lot. I didn't need to save Burns past the cut but I needed to keep closer tabs on him afterwards. I just don't do a good job of keeping on top of baseball news and developments anymore and even if I did, there's never enough roster room for all the guys with some kind of potential not to mention that you inevitably end up making the wrong cut/keep decisions because you're working with volatile assetts in the first place. The very small pool of active player in the LoD is so much more manageable than this.

Funny that you're fapping over a guy who had a 94 wRC+ at 24 in AA and s***ing on a 21 year old with a 95+ wRC+ in AA with encouraging peripherals.

If it's any consolation, he's probably trash.

Yeah it's funny but Burns is one of those guys whose fantasy value could far eclipse his real life value. Someone other than Los Osos Blancos (namely me) should have picked him up.

IIRC, I picked him up, dropped him, NJH picked him up, dropped him, then I picked him up and traded him to Spanky. My trades with Spanky really haven't worked out well. Especially when I gave him Gardner for basically free (2nd rd pick), but that was due to a roster cut crunch.

I don't fap over inconsequential players, unlike you. However, Billy Burns is currently making a fantasy impact in medium-deep leagues. Talk to me when Winker does.

See this is one of the reasons I like LOD. In that league I would have gotten an alert when he was dropped.

Oh I will. You can count on that. I will talk to you about it a lot.

That and there are teams actually behind you in the LOD.

 

Yes you are the one guy I can trash talk...and Boxy starting next week.

My LOD team isn't anything special but it would probably out-perform my DDL team head to head.
