Boxcar 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. What about acquiring him for AJ Pollock?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 The Astros f***ed up so badly their last two drafts. To get three 1-1 picks in a row and screw up two of them is unforgivable.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 What about acquiring him for AJ Pollock? It's not great, but I doubt Pollock is ever going to be a star. Bryant already is.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) The Astros team right now could be: 2B Altuve RF Springer 3B Bryant DH Gattis 1B Carter SS Correa LF Rasmus/Tucker C Castro CF Marisnick SP Keuchel SP McHugh SP Rodon SP McCullers Just terrible drafting.

BTS Community Moderator Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Mark Appel suxxxxxx But Pollock isn't a huge asset either.
BTS Community Moderator Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Hey Boxy, you want to double down on Appel in the LOD? Think of how good you would feel if he succeeds!
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I'm glad I was able to rid myself of my Appel shares.
KingKat 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. Even at the time, it never made sense that Bryant wasn't the top ranked guy. I was hoping he'd fall to me but I ended up with Moran who Suxxx.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Even at the time, it never made sense that Bryant wasn't the top ranked guy. I was hoping he'd fall to me but I ended up with Moran who Suxxx. Sorry, but no way he was going to fall to you. I would have taken him at #2. There were a lot of top guys in that draft that seem like they're gonna suck.

I was huge on Bryant at number 1 but I haven't given up on Appel yet either. Hitting 97 in the 8th inning last year in his second last start was a sign that it's there. Another session with Strom is likely needed.

Hitting 97 in the 8th inning last year in his second last start was a sign that it's there. Another session with Strom is likely needed. What's his problem then? Is it that it's too straight.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Sorry, but no way he was going to fall to you. I would have taken him at #2. I didn't say it was a realistic expectation but I was hoping that one of Gray or Bryant would fall. Hate myself for seeing something in Moran and wasting the pick.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Hey Boxy, you want to double down on Appel in the LOD? Think of how good you would feel if he succeeds! You selling at his current value? We'll offer you Ryan McMahon right now.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 The first Moran that pops to mind is still a pornstar for me. s***, I'm getting old.. and I think of Erin Moran from Happy Days.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 and I think of Erin Moran from Happy Days. Hurley loves Joanie.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 What's his problem then? Is it that it's too straight. Possibly injured...haven't heard a thing about this year. Deception is what they worked on with him last year.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 What's his problem then? Is it that it's too straight. His problem is he f***ing sucks. Doesn't attack hitters, no killer instinct, shoddy command, lack of a devastating outpitch. He'll be lucky to reach his mid-rotation ceiling.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 You selling at his current value? We'll offer you Ryan McMahon right now. Just realized that the LOD team isn't mine...would like to recant this offer until I confer with the actual team owner. Would be open to discussion though.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Anyone wanna deal a starter for an outfielder? I have Kris Davis, Torii Hunter, Adam Jones, Carlos Gomez, who I'd move. And bargain bin-ers, Leoyns Martin and Geraldo Parra

Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Hey Boxy, you want to double down on Appel in the LOD? Think of how good you would feel if he succeeds! why not
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 ^ pro internet scout Guess so, looking at my record.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Guess so, looking at my record. Championships are the only thing that matter. And in that regard you are the exact same as both Boxy and me. http://www.bumperstickerz.com/images/10000231-00-00-00-00_lg.png
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Nah. Regular season record matters a lot. Anybody who disagrees doesn't have a good one.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Nah. Regular season record matters a lot. Anybody who disagrees doesn't have a good one. This is what people without a championship say...
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 This is what people without a championship say... I have several championships, check out my trophy case.
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Nah. Regular season record matters a lot. Anybody who disagrees doesn't have a good one. If you're so great, why is your LOD team in last place?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 If you're so great, why is your LOD team in last place? Well having my franchise player missing pretty much the entire season, up to and including now, that's probably a starting point.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Did I ever tell you guys I used to play ESPN fantasy, so when we started this league I dug up my ancient Yahoo acct. When I signed it, it had somehow been taken over/merged with some teenage girl's yahoo profile/email, except I had access to all the features like it was my account still. Sadly I just created a new one and didn't take advantage of any hijinks, and I've always sort of regretted it. I'm disappointed in you.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I have several championships, check out my trophy case. Only league that matters is the DDL. 14 team, 12 team, and 10 team leagues don't count either.
