Goddamn, Mark Appel is terrible. I'd want to kill myself if I drafted him over Bryant.

 

What about acquiring him for AJ Pollock?

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.

It's not great, but I doubt Pollock is ever going to be a star. Bryant already is.

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.

Hey Boxy, you want to double down on Appel in the LOD? Think of how good you would feel if he succeeds!

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.

What's his problem then? Is it that it's too straight.

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.

You selling at his current value? We'll offer you Ryan McMahon right now.

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.

Possibly injured...haven't heard a thing about this year. Deception is what they worked on with him last year.

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.

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.

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

why not

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.

Nah. Regular season record matters a lot. Anybody who disagrees doesn't have a good one.

 

This is what people without a championship say...

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.

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.

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.
