A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

Larceny imo, but never been a Bad Miller guy.

 

Why wouldn't you budge Speedy!?

Did you offer him Jay Bruce?

[SpeedyGose]

I like Miller a lot. Some may think I was robbed but I see a potential 120 wRC+ with multi positions and looks like he should stick at SS. Liriano won't likely be too useful when my window to win comes around. Other offers I received were middle of the road prospects with small pieces added on.

[Dr. Dinger]

Gimme the Liriano side. Not a Miller fan.

[Boxcar]

Miller might be that classic "ruined by Seattle guy" but his upside is very intriguing. It's not inconceivable that he's worth far more than Liriano this time next year.

 

They totally f***ed with him at every opportunity.

[The Cats Ass]

It's just those two straight up

 

Really?

 

I checked on the price and was told Mateo + Mazara.

[SpeedyGose]

You were offering Mateo + small pieces, I like miller much much more

[SpeedyGose]

Just checked and Miller went 20 picks before Liriano in BORED btw.

Really? I must be really under rating Miller then.

You should probably re-evaluate your process

I don't really have a process. I let the Liquor handle all processes.

Same!

I woke up yesterday morning, haven't slept since... went on another SOA binge and now I'm getting tired, so I picked up 15 tallboys, halfway through and getting more tired, that's not normal for me? Weird!

[Spanky99]

I'll trooper through it.

Yeah like Nick Franklin

 

Seriously though he could very well be a mini-Zobrist. 2B/SS/OF eligible through his prime with a good slash line and some counting stats.

[Laika]

Could flip Liriano to someone else that was after him.

 

Or could trade another arm. Anderson, Fiers, Hendricks, Iwakuma, Iglesias = all mobile at varying prices.

 

I would be looking for an offensive upgrade and/or a closer.

Have a couple jagerbombs. That'll bring ya around.

Poll:

What was a worse fantasy decision?

A. BTS selecting Brett Lawrie at 24 in the initial DDL draft (2013)

B. TRM trading Carlos Correa for Matt Holliday and Hiroki Kuroda (2013)

[BTS]

It's kind of sad how you always need the last word. This is pretty pathetic.

A- Horribad.

[TRM]

Sometimes you gotta take a shot at a championship when it's ripe for the picking

 

Nevermind, our esteemed newest member just weighed in and agreed with me, which clearly proves that BTS was correct.

C. Mark Appel for A.J. Pollock

 

Someone had to do it.

He's awful. He was actually the worst poster from the old forum.

Him and dogg, who was trolling, and who was serious, lol

Nothing like coming back with your exact same username and making a troll thread to try to fit in as a normal poster.

Where's Havok?

Boxy here's your Benintendi fix. BP ranks him 4th in BOS' farm.

 

http://www.baseballprospectus.com/card/images/headshot_105574.jpg4. Andrew Benintendi, OF

DOB: 07/06/1994

Height/Weight: 5’10” 185 lbs.

Bats/Throws: L/L

Drafted/Acquired: Drafted 7th overall in the 2015 Draft, University of Arkansas (AR); signed for $3.5904 million

Previous Ranking(s): No. 20 on Top 125 MLB Draft Prospects

2015 Stats: .313/.416/.556, 11 HR, 10 SB in 239 PA at short season Lowell and Low-A Greenville

Future Tools: 55 speed, 55 hit, 55 glove, 50+ power

Role: 55—above-average regular in center field

Here’s how far off the radar Benintendi was coming into the 2015 season: I was unaware he existed. Not that I’m the all-knowing draft expert, but I know a bit, and to go from that to a guy who many believed was the draft’s best hitting prospect… it’s pretty darn impressive. His swing is gorgeous, getting through the zone quickly with above-average bat speed and very little wasted movement. He’s deceptively strong and his swing has just enough loft to drive the ball into the gaps, with above-average power very much a possibility. He’s a smart hitter who rarely beats himself by swinging at early pitches or anything outside the strike zone, and his elite hand-eye coordination means there’s very little swing-and-miss.

Benintendi is by no means a burner, but he should be able to stay in the middle of the grass. He gets good jumps with efficient routes, and his average arm strength plays up because it’s accurate.

Of the “big four” prospects in the system, Benintendi is the one who likely moves the fastest through the system, and while the upside isn’t elite, his feel for the game and four above-average tools make him a high-floor player who could hit near the top of the Boston order.

Bret Sayre’s Fantasy take: As a fast-moving five-category outfielder, Benintendi has plenty of things going for him in dynasty leagues. What he might not have, though, is impact—but he also might not need impact to be a passable OF2. Just look at what Adam Eaton did this year with mid-teens power, nearly 20 steals and a bushel of runs.

Major League ETA: 2017

[The Cats Ass]

So he's Adam Eaton?

[BTS]

Trolling Boxy with BP write-ups on his stat-scouted players has become a surprisingly enjoyable meme.
