A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

You were selling Familia?

 

Edit: oh, winter. Was Mejia suspended at that point?

 

No, but Familia was a good holds guy with great stuff and a lot younger than Romo. I have the same problem with Koji now as you do with Romo, he'll probably end up in the waiver draft also unless he gets traded.

I think you'll easily end up with a second for Uehara. A rebuilding team could immediately turn a big profit after the cut down.

 

People might undervalue elite relievers a bit though. I'd rather have one of them than the Tillmans Chatwoods and Volquez's of the world.

[Boxcar]

My worst prospect (by far (far far far)) is Aaron Blair... I hope that makes most of you cringe at the state of your farms.

 

This is so obnoxious

Agreed. If I were a middle of the road team, I'd stock up on probable cuts like Romo and Uehara and then immediately trade them once the season starts for a profit. You can get a 2nd round MiLB pick for good relievers as soon as we're past the cut date.

That hasn't really been true in my experience.

What did you sell Romo for last year? I think you paid pick 64 for him.

[z3r0s]

This is so obnoxious

 

If you can't be obnoxious about your online only fantasy sports team, then what are we even doing here guys!

[Dr. Dinger]

You really do have a very nice farm. It will be interesting to see if you can hit on one of your shortstop prospects. I'd guess Rodgers, probably.

[Boxcar]

What did you sell Romo for last year? I think you paid pick 64 for him.

 

He was part of a three way. Think I got Matz, Hoffman, Jackson and a pick for Romo, Ryu, Dahl and Dominic Smith.

[Boxcar]

To be fair, I never said that you can't be obnoxious. Freedom is a wonderful thing!

[Boxcar]

To all bros:

 

If you have guys that are on the fringes, I'm willing to buy.

 

I don't have much in the way of picks (would take something nice for me to give up 24) but if you see something you want in my farm or team that makes sense, I'm interested.

 

I'm also interested to be on the other end of asset consolidation. If you have a tough crunch, perhaps a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 for Wainwright could be available.

[BTS]

My trash:

 

Scott Van Slyke

Jeff Locke

Yimi Garcia

CC Sabathia

Drew Storen

[z3r0s]

I'm likely cutting;

Jesus Montero

Mark Canha

Pedro Strop

Austin Jackson

Zach Duke

Alex Wilson

Tommy Hunter

Josh Collmenter

Josh Johnson

 

Let me know if you like anyone (pretty surly group tho)

I'll be targeting alt least 3 of those guys in the waiver draft.

[z3r0s]

I'll be targeting alt least 3 of those guys in the waiver draft.

 

But you have to admit its a surly group if you're talking about the 20-man roster.

[BTS]

Oh yes. Would not roster any pre-cut.

[Laika]

Trade!

 

To me: Adam Wainwright

 

To Boxy:

- Jason Hammel

- Ben Revere

- Brandon Drury

- Preston Tucker

- Rubby De La Rosa

[BTS]

So basically Hammel for Wainwright.

[Dr. Dinger]

wat

[Dr. Dinger]

So you're trading 4 guys you were going to cut anyway and an SP4 for an ace?

[Boxcar]

So you're trading 4 guys you were going to cut anyway and an SP4 for an ace?

 

Is that a joke?

[Laika]

So you're trading 4 guys you were going to cut anyway and an SP4 for an ace?

 

I don't think the gap between Hammel and Wainwright is that sizeable. Hammel has been excellent in Chicago and Wainwright just missed an entire season at an advanced age. Maybe it's more like SP3-->SP2

[The Cats Ass]

I'm intended cuts right now are

 

Elvis Andrus

Austin Barnes

Ike Davis

Álex Colomé

Drew Pomeranz

TJ House

Kendall Graveman*

Danny Hultzen

 

Any pick would get any

[BTS]

So what does everyone's projected 20-man look like?

 

C - Vogt

1B - Abreu

2B - Kendrick

3B - Dietrich

SS - Gyorko

CF - Eaton

OF - Trumbo

OF - Mahtook

Util - V-Mart

OF - Jaso

 

SP - Keuchel

SP - Lester

SP - Richards

SP - Chen

SP - Odorizzi

SP - Kennedy

SP - Nelson

 

RP - Betances

RP - Davis

RP - Romo

 

Looks like a top-5 pitching staff and bottom-5 offense. Unless I get 1-2 breakout offensive performances or can find a guy or two on the waiver wire I'm going to miss the playoffs.

[Laika]

1B - Votto

2B - Zobrist (OF)

3B - Wright

SS - Miller (CF)

CF - Fowler

OF - Davis (1B)

OF - Dickerson

UTIL - Gordon

BN - Santana (1B)

BN - Walker (2B)

 

SP - Arrieta

SP - Salazar

SP - Iwakuma

SP - Wainwright

SP - Hendricks

SP - Iglesias

SP - Anderson

SP - Jimenez

 

RP - Rondon

RP - Papelbon

 

I don't presently have a catcher and I'd like to trade for one, but I've gone with waiver draft options in the past like Riuz and Jaso and still made the playoffs, so not a big deal.

I have a lot of offensive depth. Trea Turner also insures SS from my farm. I'd still like to add 3B depth behind Wright though.

I like my rotation depth a lot.

I'd like to find a way to keep Tommy Pham and possibly Wily Peralta. I am very open to trading Santana, Walker, Jimenez, and Anderson. I've also explored trading Chris Davis quite a bit.

 

I should comfortably make the playoffs unless I get hit by a lot of bad luck.

[Dr. Dinger]

C - Cervelli, or no catcher

1B - Cabrera

2B - Cano

3B - Valencia

SS - Reyes

CF - Ellsbury

OF - Bautista

OF - Braun

DH - Ortiz

BN - Pujols

 

SP1 - Sale

SP2 - Bum

SP3 - Kazmir

SP4 - Jaime

SP5 - Rodon

RP - Familia

RP - Watson

RP - Street

RP - O'Day

 

20th man options: Koji, Gattis, Dickey, Cody Anderson, Kelvin Herrera

 

Problem areas: C, 3B, SP depth

 

Should still make the playoffs quite comfortably, I imagine. I may cut Cervelli to keep another pitcher and just roll with Swihart next year.

[The Cats Ass]

God dammit boxy, why errybody always in such a hurry.

 

I thought NJH was joking when he posted that trade. He's gotta be. Right?

[Laika]

C - Cervelli, or no catcher

1B - Cabrera

Cody Anderson is a must keep.

 

I wonder if Swihart and Vazquez will share time.

[Laika]

When North comes around he can tell you all about the merits of Brandon Drury

[Dr. Dinger]

Cody Anderson is a must keep.

 

 

Can't tell if serious or sarcasm. He was actually really nails down the stretch. I don't think his K-rate is representitive of his true talent level, so by the same token I'm not going to live and die by his 2015 xFIP. When you watch him pitch, he looks like a pretty solid dude. Dickey should merit serious consideration for my final spot, if for no other reason than I need SP depth.

 

Sadly, Koji went from must-keep to almost-definitely-going-to-cut overnight with the Kimbrel trade.
