A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[jaysblue]

I took the wRC+ part out of my post because it seems that Fangraphs calendar year split wRC+ is messed up.

 

Mark Trumbo was always a flawed player and it's catching up to him. If you believe there's still a productive hitter in there, you may as well keep Trumbo since there's no buy-low hype surrounding him.

 

I've never been a fan of Mark Trumbo.

[TRM]

Looking to trade for Zach Lee. If you have him please message me.

[Dr. Dinger]

Wow, Trumbo's line is virtually identical to last year. He'll probably be out of baseball in a year or two.

[jaysblue]

Is there anything suggesting that hitters of his type fall off early? I think his body is just breaking down. He's a huge guy, and has dealt with stress fractures in his feet, and his power has fallen off a cliff since he was diagnosed last year.

 

He was a flawed player to begin with like North said. Career .296 OBP is awful.

Wouldn't shock me. A corner OF/1B who will be 30 next season and struggles to keep an OBP above .300 and whose breaking down physically. Likely will catch a couple of minor league deals over the next couple of years though I predict an early retirement like you said.

It would be one thing if he was still hitting 30 HR, but he's not even a league average hitter at this point. Very few teams are going to look at him and see any avenue for added value. Maybe the Phillies.

[Dr. Dinger]

The weird thing to me is that he doesn't even strike out that much.

Yeah for the type of hitter he is, he doesn't strikeout that much anymore like he did earlier in his career. His BB% has always been downright awful though. I'm sure he'll latch on with a team like the Phillies or Marlins. The Orioles also like taking fliers on guys with huge power potential.

as if my season has not been a cluster-f*** already, Yordano optioned to the minors....

 

wtf KC

[Boxcar]

KC is dumn

No. He's more untouchable than Bryant

[TRM]

No. He's more untouchable than Bryant

 

I'm not kidding. I need my lord and savior for his MLB debut.

lmao at KC. Ventura is their best starter.

[The Cats Ass]

But he has a losing record.

[Laika]

Edinson Volquez

Chris Young

Jeremy Guthrie

Jason Vargas

Danny Duffy

 

worst rotation ever for a 1st place team?

[The Cats Ass]

Gotta be. And their lineup isn't even all that impressive. I don't know how they're doing it.

[Laika]

5th best offense in baseball and the 3rd best defense. Also, the #1 or #2 bullpen in baseball makes the overall pitching about average.

[Laika]

And the entire league huddles round MLB.com with bated breath as Raisel Iglesias enters the fifth inning. 5 K's, 1 BB, and no runs through four - but will the velocity hold a 3rd time though the order, or is he just a ~60 pitch dude?

Trade him to the Rays

[Laika]

Trade him to the Rays

 

Raisel + Erasmo would be good for 8-10 Ace level innings every 5th day!

[Laika]

Raisel gives up an RBI double to Schwarber but then goes 92-93-93-slider to K Bryant swinging. Then starts Rizzo with a CH (whiff), gets him to foul off an 88mph sinker, and then finishes him off by baiting him into lining out with another 93mph four seamer.

 

Velocity seems fine at 88 pitches? hmmm

[TRM]

Who cares about Raisel while Joe Ross is pitching...

[Laika]

Oh, you called him up after all?

[TRM]

I don't even know anymore.

[Laika]

I don't even know anymore.

 

I'm just not sure how much you really even like him. You keep talking about him like you think he's the bees knees, but then you keep him on your farm like he's some putz you don't value.

[TRM]

Can someone give me a rough ranking of catchers in a dynasty league? I'm having a debate with someone in another league and I want to make sure I'm not way off base.

I'm experiencing textbook cognitive dissonance right now. I love him, however every fibre of my being is rejecting the idea of a starter younger than 25. It's only a matter of time until I trade him for Hisashi Iwakuma or something.
