lolol

[Dr. Dinger]

I'm gonna roll like this:

 

C - Cervelli, maybe Contreras at some point

1B - Miggy

2B - Cano

3B - Wright/Valencia

SS - J.P. Crawford soon I hope/Flores in the meantime

CF - Ellsbury/Revere

OF - Bautista

OF - Alex Gordon

DH - Pujols

 

BN - Valencia, Revere, Flores

 

SP1 - Sale

SP2 - Bumgarner

SP3 - Rodon IMO

SP4 - Kazmir

SP5 - Jaime

SP6 - Dickcheese

CL1 - Familia

CL2 - Street

CL3 - Papsmear

HL1 - Watson

HL2 - O'Day

HL3 - Dyson

 

I should be able to mix and match my bullpen nicely to counter whoever I'm facing, ie roll with only 1 or 2 closers vs teams who have punted saves and use more holds guys instead, and vice versa.

[BTS]

Dinger can't quit Ben Revere.

I thought your rotation was better then that?

lolol

 

I own him. I can call him what ever the hell I want.

Interesting, you're team isn't as heads and tails above mine as I thought... Still stronger, but I have advantages at C, 3B, SS, CF and Util. Rotation is stronger at the top, but it's not a massive advantage, and my bottom half is stronger. Advantage in the pen to you, but it's not huge.

[Dr. Dinger]

Dinger can't quit Ben Revere.

 

Ben Revere is very underrated in this format IMO. Big-time contributor in H, R, SB, adequate in OBP. He really only hurts you in SLG, but not even in a Billy Hamilton kinda way.

[Sammy225]

Somewhere between 10-20:

 

C- R. Martin

1B- M. Texiera

2B- D. Travis (hopefully not too much on DL)

SS- F. Lindor

3B- P. Sandoval

CF- L. Cain

OF- R. Braun

OF- A. Pagan

UTL- Y. Solarte

 

BN- T. Shaw

BN- D. Herrera

SP- C. Anderson

 

CL- Z. Britton

CL- S. Casilla

RP- B. Cecil

RP- T. Wilhelmsen

RP- J.J Hoover

[Dr. Dinger]

You probably just think that because I dominated all the pitching categories last year.

This team is better than BTS

[BTS]

Dinger will certainly be trading 2-3 of his best prospects for an SP2 this year.

Stop living in the past doctor.

We are certainly seeing the beginning of the end of the juggernaut that was LOB. Miggy moving off 3B forced me to trade one of Pujols/Ortiz, and I moved Braun to shore up my future at SS. My SP depth is the same as last season, which was more than adequate. What I lack in SP depth in the 6-7-8 spots I make up for with an above average bullpen and 400 elite IP at the top of the rotation.

[BTS]

lol, no

Oh your team is fine, still the second best in the league for this year. I was just pleasantly surprised at how we stacked up, and I thought you had another Ace also.

[Dr. Dinger]

That's possible, sure, although I don't think it's absolutely necessary. I have some guys who could emerge this year and be mid-rotation options, like Fulmer, Montas, Flaherty and Kaprielian, each of whom is either a Top 100 prospect or on the cusp, depending on which site you prefer. I could end up packing some of them with Contreras if an opportunity opens up.

Sleep on Rodon at your own peril.

[TRM]

Sleep on Rodon at your own peril.

 

Lol, you're probably right.

I'd take my top four over yours though, for this year.

[Dr. Dinger]

You guys all voted me the best team the last 3 years and I couldn't seal the deal, so maybe 2nd in the PRs is where I need to be.

[Boxcar]

If only Greg Bird hadn't died I'd be looking a bit better. I'm hoping to comfortably avoid the lottery this year.

 

I aim high, I know.

[Dr. Dinger]

Lol, you're probably right.

I'd take my top four over yours though, for this year.

 

Debatable IMO.

 

Sale >> Felix at this point

Bumgarner >/= Harvey, talent level is equal but Bumgarner has a fantastic record of consistency and health

Rodon < Cueto, although maybe not, and as a dynasty asset I prefer CR

Kazmir = Samardzija, although Kazmir was MUCH better in 2015

 

It's nice for you that Cueto and Shark both landed in a great park, though.

Sucks for you that he did but i had no backup plan if Tex was not starting lol

[TRM]

Debatable IMO.

I missed Shark, for someone reason I thought Jaime was your 4.

Yours is better, but I'm anticipating good things for Shark in San Fran, and Felix is not two greater than signs weaker than Sale. Also Sale is kinda probably gonna break.

Felix is coming off a 3.70 FIP and a late-season shutdown, with 2200 IP already on his arm. FB is down to 91.8 MPH. I actually think he's at least as likely to break as Sale.

[BTS]

Felix looks like a guy about to break down. Sale is far better at this point IMO.

[Boxcar]

I'd take Shark over Kaz but that's mostly due to bitterness over his s***ing the bed down the stretch for me.

[Dr. Dinger]

Yeah, Kazmir was bruuuuutal down the stretch. But the again, Shark was brutal all year. I think they are both viable SP3s in this format and strong SP4s.

[Dr. Dinger]

Felix looks like a guy about to break down. Sale is far better at this point IMO.

 

There are just SO many miles on that elbow. He's a 29 year old with the mileage of a 34 year old.

[Boxcar]

Debatable IMO.

I'd also agree with all of these except I think Cueto will be much better than Rodon unless he gets his command together. Guy like him can really tank your K/bb on his bad days.

[TRM]

If you could all stop s*** talking my next trade chip, that would be great
