The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Nice trades guys. Seems like Silvergun is getting nervous since he's losing to the 10th place team this week.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Billy McKinney profiles as a no power 4th OF. No big loss.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 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.
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 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.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Billy McKinney profiles as a no power 4th OF. No big loss. Uh oh, Dinger busting out the BP handbook once again.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 What? Of course he would! Don't splash effect despair me cuz Boxy likes to mouth off, dammit! Unfortunately, I have him in the jr. league so I'd only be half laughing. Guess I should sell...
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Uh oh, Dinger busting out the BP handbook once again. Even Fangraphs puts a 45 FV on him. He's Coghlan, Pillar, Grossman, etc.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Even Fangraphs puts a 45 FV on him. He's Coghlan, Pillar, Grossman, etc. I like that you speak with such certainty.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I like that you speak with such certainty. Feel free to lose sleep over him, it's no skin off my back.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Selling McKinney just as he hits AA seems wise.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 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?

Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Why is he not striking out very much, then? My guess is he prefers to dribble out to third.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Man, Billy Burns might be a dude. Maybe Gardner with less pop.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Man, Billy Burns might be a dude. Maybe Gardner with less pop. 40 FV, no top 100 ranking though; org guy/AAAA player
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 40 FV, no top 100 ranking though; org guy/AAAA player He's already 50 PV! He's basically Winker + 40 SB upside.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 None of these guys you're talking about are gonna end up as anything. Tyler Goeddel on the other hand is a name to get hard over.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 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.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 He's already 50 PV! He's basically Winker + 40 SB upside. 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.

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.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 If it's any consolation, he's probably trash. He's no Slade Heatchcott.

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.

TheHurl Site Manager Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 See this is one of the reasons I like LOD. In that league I would have gotten an alert when he was dropped. 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.

Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Goddamn, Mark Appel is terrible. I'd want to kill myself if I drafted him over Bryant.
