A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[NorthOf49]

I will draft another MM... Marcos Molina.

 

z3r0s up.

[The Cats Ass]

Swinging for the fences. I like it.

 

There was another pitcher I liked too. I thought there was more of a chance he'd fall to my next pick though.

[The Cats Ass]

Or not...

 

 

fu North

 

 

ps. Did you hear he's being evaluated for Tommy John? (Only reason I thought he'd fall a bit)

A guy like North keeps you on your toes. You always know he's casting a wide net. I probably shouldn't have drafted Ruddy Giron where I did (if at all) but I let the "better get this guy before he does" thought process get to me.

[The Cats Ass]

Should the Mets just send all their prospects for TJ as soon as they draft them? It seems like a lot of their young pitchers are having a lot of arm problems.

[z3r0s]

Just got on, will pick right away (I wanted Buehler and Matuella so I just have to confirm my third pick is who I want).

[z3r0s]

I don't even like him, but I'm going to take Tyler Jay.

 

Would have been much happier with one of those other guys.

 

FeartheD is up (will PM)

The Mets seem to not care much about injury risk. Harvey, Syndergaard, DeGrom all have pretty bad timing. I'm assuming Niese does too based on his history. And then there's Wheeler.

 

But should a team sacrifice effectiveness for health, if that really is a decision? It's a math question, really.

[The Cats Ass]

It seems to be working for them though. Does any team have a better group of young pitchers?

How good are you while you're not pitching?

Well they can't all be out for surgery at the same time can they?

[Boxcar]

Well they can't all be out for surgery at the same time can they?

 

Sure they could. I don't like that philosophy, personally, especially for pitchers. They are time bombs as is, why ignore further risk? Not like every skilled pitcher has some hitch in their delivery.

 

I do enjoy how NJH has become a bio-mechanical whiz these days. I agree that I'm not a fan of Syndergaard's inverted X delivery and also worry that the weight of all those letters on the back of his jersey mess with his timing.

[Dr. Dinger]

WTF is Joe Maddon's problem with Hector Rondon? He keeps dicking around when Rondon has really done nothing that should jeopardize his closing job.

Some of these pitchers would have came with at a discount because of their deliveries. I guess the Mets feel the risk is worth it.

I'm selecting Alex Blandino.

 

North is up.

North is up.

 

You email him?

[Fearthedoc]

You email him?

 

Yep.

[NorthOf49]

I'll take my first pure stats-scout guy: Jacob Nottingham, Astros catcher of the future.

 

Jays_fever up and emailed.

no need I let him know

 

[KingKat]

I wasn't really feeling this draft at first but as usual, once you dive in it gets pretty interesting. I feel like over time the collective psyche of the league has become more in tune. No one's grabbed anyone completely out of nowhere, there haven't been many picks that would qualify as reaches either and lots of people seem to be getting their pockets picked.

f***

[Boxcar]

Well he was right

[jays_fever]

I have my list at home, I'll make my pick around 3

[TheHurl]

Not to name drop during a draft but Brock Stassi went 4 for 8 last night and pitched 3 hitless innings in the 18 inning marathon. Two way prospect threat. Gustavo Pierre had a single, double and triple in the game.

[TRM]

I'll be here all afternoon, so whoever is after me should standby for around 330

[KingKat]

True Story. Nottingham goes by the nickame "sherrif" because of course.

Wow he wasn't even on my radar, but now I'm HIGHLY considering him at my next pick.

[jays_fever]

I'll take Josh Naylor

[KingKat]

I'll take Josh Naylor

 

Nail her? I hardly know her.

[TRM]

At work, can't see the doc. I believe Kyle Stephenson is still available though?
