A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

You.

 

Cause I trade Hosmer + Bailey for Jones at the beginning of the season, right?

More so because you kept trading for OFs even when you had like 3 or 4 really good ones.

I want all the OFers.

[Dr. Dinger]

I want all the OFers.

 

I know, you even asked me about one the other day!

[z3r0s]

FYI

PSA

IMO

 

The trade deadline is in 12 days. Someone trade me some more playoff ammo, plz. I would be inclined to move my DL guys Gordon, Souza, and Wright for healthy help.

 

Step into my office

[Dr. Dinger]

Derek Dietrich is shockingly legit.

Derek Dietrich is shockingly legit.

 

So legit.

[Boxcar]

So legit.

 

But Justin Turner is a fluke.

[Dr. Dinger]

22 HR in 576 career PA now, and there's nothing in his 2015 line that jumps out as fluky or unsustainable.

[Dr. Dinger]

Classic ginger bias.

[Dr. Dinger]

I probably shouldn't cheer for a division rival, but I really want speedy to upset LS this week.

You have division rivals?

Is getting hit by pitches a skill? Dietrich has now been hit 27 times in 580 career PA. Almost 5% HBP rate lol.

Yes it is. 23 points of Craig Biggio's career OBP come from being hit by pitches. Remove Carlos Quentin's career HBP count and his OBP goes from .347 to like .312 (he goes from a really good hitter to, like, Mark Trumbo)

 

... but it's not really a skill that you want your guy to have, necessarily. Ask Quentin, who probably hit the DL 5 times from being hit on the hands, or Kirby Puckett.

[BTS]

Still willing to sell pieces to help a team win this year:

 

Ethier

Choo

Turner

V-Mart

Trumbo

Betances

Romo

Davis

Baez

 

Looking for top prospects and a SP or two.

[KingKat]

Dietrich is pissing me off. Can't even count the times I have added and dropped him over the years. Trying to stash breakout players is such a fool's errand. Of course Dietrich and Burns would break out on someone else's roster.

[Laika]

I think Mark McGwire has broken Yasiel Puig. They've tweaked so many minute things in his setup now, it's like he's constantly thinking about mechanics.

Looking like an offensive slugfest...so here's to one of his 16 aces blowing up his ratios!

[Dr. Dinger]

Woof

 

Mark Appel, RHP, Astros (Frisco, AAA): 4 2/3 IP, 12 H, 9 R (6 ER), 2 BB, 3 K

[Boxcar]

stfu

[z3r0s]

Still looking to deal;

- Ender Inciarte if someone is desperate for an ok bat for collecting a few hits. Draft pick.

- K-Rod. For a minor leaguer I like.

- Strop. For a minor leaguer or decent pick.

 

Inquire within.

[Laika]

But I don't want Kevin Jepsen to close...

[Dr. Dinger]

On the bright side, this negatively affects North.

[z3r0s]

To NJH: Trea Turner

 

To z3r0s: Tyler Glasnow

 

njh to confirm

[Dr. Dinger]

I like Glasnow better, but that seems like a pretty fair trade.

[z3r0s]

Very fair indeed. But I have SS depth and need pitching, and he needs a SS, so I'd say it was a perfect match.

[Laika]

Confirmed.

 

I also like Glasnow slightly better in a nutshell, but I need a SS for next year.

[Dr. Dinger]

Very fair indeed. But I have SS depth and need pitching, and he needs a SS, so I'd say it was a perfect match.

 

I think Glasnow's fantasy upside is higher, but there is of course a premium on shortstops. I hated Turner when he was a Padre prospect, so it's hard for me to wash the stink off him mentally.

[TRM]

I'm curious what you guys think, is Tim Anderson a guy?

[z3r0s]

Also looking to trade DeScalfani for a prospect. Any arm-starved playoff teams interested?
