A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Laika]

I'm not sleeping on him, I've outright hated on him for like 2 years already. I'll probably be wrong on him and have to eat a ton of s***.

 

Good thing you're a coprophage

Playoff Magic Numbers (Win is worth 1, tie is worth .5)

 

NJH: 6

Min: 8

FTD: 11

Havok: 14.5

North: 21

[Laika]

What are the Red Sox going to do with Castillo? $70MM and he may never be any good... wow.

 

Literally nothing has changed about Olivera since he was the subject of a high-profile bidding war that landed him $60MM+ from the sport's best front office. This isn't a Rusney situation.

 

Rusney up to a 114 wRC+ now, and shoving 3 run jacks down your 8th place throat during Rivalry Week.

What did you trade Glasnow for? That + Rusney + Carlos Santana for Ryu, not bad.

Trea Turner, like three days ago.

 

You can pull off trades like this when you're a pitching mechanics guru, like me.

This joke deserved more attention.

[Dr. Dinger]

Miggy has two hits today and his OBP has dropped.

[Laika]

This joke deserved more attention.

 

As long as one person googled it, I'm happy.

[BTS]

Dinger, can you plz take a fall this week so we can see North miss the playoffs?

[Dr. Dinger]

Hmm... that may actually benefit me, since I'd rather face you.

[BTS]

Was talking about Speedy. He's our only hope. SG is going to wipe the floor with me next week.

[Dr. Dinger]

Not necessarily. If NJH lays a beatdown on Balco, you could be several games up on North heading into next week. Then you'd just need a split to have a good chance.

[Dr. Dinger]

Does Evan Gattis suck or not? I wish he would make up his mind.

[BTS]

He's worse than Mark Trumbo.

[Dr. Dinger]

He's worse than Mark Trumbo.

 

Trumbo would be somewhat playable in this format if he had C eligibility. Gattis is probably a bench OF me next year that I'll only ride during his crazy hot streaks.

[BTS]

I would put the odds of you rostering him next year at <5%. It will be interesting to see whether you drop him or try to trade him though. You can't really shop him after insisting so vehemently that Trumbo isn't rosterable.

Nah, I'd say probably between 25-50%. He will certainly be on the trade block this offseason, I may move him as part of a larger deal to a younger team that could use an OF power bat. It wouldn't take much of a hot streak to get Gattis to ~30 HR and a .330 wOBA tho. That's a pretty reasonable bench bat for a contender, so I have no problem keeping him.

[Dr. Dinger]

My team suxxxxxx. Soooo frustrating.

 

TBH I don't really get it. I look at your team and it appears strong. The only real weakspot is the BP, but it doesn't seem to have cost you an inordinant number of SV or HLD matchups. You should be a playoff team. I'll be happy if you don't make it though, because I'd rather face the other 7/8 seed contenders than you.

[Dr. Dinger]

This is probably what you get for putting Carrasco ahead of Price in your off-season depth chart, like some kind of *******.

[Dr. Dinger]

Yeah, shoulder injuries for pitchers are usually nothing to worry about...

[Dr. Dinger]

Miggy has 7 straight multi hit games and a .452 wOBA. Can I trade him for Donaldson now?

[Dr. Dinger]

And by "it" do you mean his rotator cuff, or labrum?

[Spanky99]

Does Evan Gattis suck or not? I wish he would make up his mind.

 

I jumped on the Gattis train far too early in the FC, f***!

[Laika]

Gattis was a much better hitter in Atlanta, and sustainably so. That talent is still in there. If he can maintain OF eligibility then he should have comparable value to Khris Davis. You could practically sandwich them on your OF rankings for 2016.

Ouch... well at least you still have Archer here, bro.

Yeah, and moreso in a 30 team league. 25-30 HR OFs aren't exactly floating around the waiver wire at all times.

[Dr. Dinger]

I think what really annoys me is when people mistakenly label Gattis as a high K guy. He's a hacker, yes, but not a whiffer.
