A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

I love that the Burrito Boyz are loading up for a run, a playoff spot is definitely within reach.

[BTS]

I want Booger

 

You already have him.

[Boxcar]

Recently?

 

Yeah he just left out mega prospect Aaron Judge, nbd

[TRM]

You already have him.

 

Wat

[BTS]

Wat

 

I was implying that Boogers = Aybar. Your dumn.

[GD]

"mega prospect" lol

 

I figured it was Werth for Judge

[TRM]

I haven't looked to closely, are they even remotely comparable? I thought you were actually making a Iglesias comp if anything

Werth suxxxxxx he was a throw in, like Koji Uehara.

Career slash:

 

Aybar = 277/317/380

Bogaerts = 271/316/381

 

Bogaerts is getting attention 0.365 BABIPing his way to a 100 wRC+ season, but he's basically Erick Aybar.

 

Yes, I'm bitter because I thought Bogaerts would do what Correa is doing.

[Dr. Dinger]

Correa is about at the point Brett Lawrie was in 2011. There's still time for him to flop.

 

Talking down the price so you can swoop in and steal him from Boxy. Clever girl.

[TRM]

So does this make Aybar a viable SS option for a contender? I constantly flip back and forth with accepting him as a passable worst bat in my lineup, and desperately wanting to get a different SS option.

How many clean upgrades are there?

 

Tulo

Crawford

Kang

Peralta

Correa

 

IMO Aybar is a perfectly viable starting SS as your 9th bat. You'd obviously like to upgrade, but he's not going to kill you.

[Laika]

Aybar f***ing blows. It's fantasy baseball and he's a post prime slap hitter who barely steals.

 

There are also studly SS holdovers like Hanley and Zobrist that he's miles behind.

[GD]

Jose Reyes in Coors might be

[TRM]

Ha! BTS perfectly captured my feelings 50% of the time in his post, and then NJH gets me perfect the other 50%

[The Cats Ass]

Elvis Andrus is a better fantasy SS than Aybar. Or maybe equally as s*****.

[BTS]

Elvis Andrus is a better fantasy SS than Aybar.

 

This is possibly but probably not true.

[The Cats Ass]

This is possibly but probably not true.

 

Look at the stats.

[The Cats Ass]

In equal amount of at bats here are the leaders in each stat.

 

Aybar 8 more runs, 5 more hits, .005 more OBP

Andrus 3 more HRs, 6 more RBIs, 3 more SB, .011 more SLG

Yeah, but Aybar seems capable of throwing out a 100 wRC+ next year, while Andrus is a huge longshot to ever be over 80.

 

I've always considered them to be pretty similar fantasy assets though.

I think we should just agree they are both s***** options.

[Dr. Dinger]

Elvis Andrus is terrible both IRL and in fantasy.

[Laika]

Andrus is owed a 15$M AAV through like 2023.

 

I swear contracts affect performance.

Aside from Cano, that's maybe the worst contract in baseball.

Looks like Eaton has done the whole 'strike out more and hit the ball hard in the air' thing. 287/369/456 over his last 385 PA. Hopefully he's Brett Gardner now and it's not a complete mirage.

I feel like we all still kinda view Eaton as having that 25-30 SB potential we thought he did as a prospect, but I'm not so sure about that any more. He's got stubby legs. Probably just a 10/15 guy with good OBPs.

I don't really care too much about steals. Really just hoping I can get a slash line a bit above DDL average with 10-15 homers and a lot of runs.

Okay, I'll give you props. Nice Waiver grab!

Huh? Who?

He's been better than Carlos Gomez lol. Hip issues suck.
