A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

Grandal too, maybe

 

Bad to be Min, but it seems to be worse to be a Dodgers fan.

When we started this league, I was in favour of only having players with MLB action in the universe. The random, arbitrary way Yahoo adds players to it's player universe is infuriating. Back when we did the waiver draft, Tyler Goeddel wasn't in the universe so I figured they would wait until his first game. Nope. Just noticed that (insert clever name) added him off waivers on march 11. Good on him but this system is really annoying (and no I wouldn't have used my 1st overall priority on him so it's moot from that perspective but it's just weird and annoying to feel like a player could pop up in waivers at any random time).

 

don't worry, he probably suxxxxx

[KingKat]

don't worry, he probably suxxxxx

 

He's a seductive kind of suxxxx though. Never really impressive but he steadily improves at every level and he's still only college age. Not hard to see why a s***** team like the Phillies would take a flyer on him.

[z3r0s]

if he works hard enough, he too can be Kevin Pillar

He's making his MLB debut at the age Pillar was drafted

[KingKat]

Smart play by Spanky to claim Andrew Bailey. He's really fortified his bullpen in the past 48 hours or so. I was tempted to make a claim myself but I didn't want to burn the #1 waiver on a yet to be declared Phillies closer. I'm assuming I can burn that on Yasiel Sierra whenever Yahoo! adds him.

[KingKat]

I was cursing you and your big yob bringing up players on waivers last night heh.

 

Oh well doubt hed have fallen that far.

 

It was pretty dumb for him to even be on waivers. He pitched a handful of innings in 2015.

[Laika]

I didn't know Bailey was still in the game.

Favorite to close for the Philies. He was listed as one of the top three most added players in Yahoo! yesterday and is there again today.

[z3r0s]

Anyone want to trade me an OF I can build around? Dangling Tanaka. Maaaaaybe Ventura.

Interesting that you word it like that. Tanaka went like 70 spots ahead of Ventura in BORED.

[z3r0s]

the maaaaaybe is because I like the age gap there and would probably be less apt to trade him. Not necessarily a reflection of value.

 

 

and can we not make referencing the BORED draft for valuation a thing?

Luckily that has an expiration date of like 2 months. Once we get some 2016 data, that tool will be out the window.

I feel like it will be a matter of weeks in any event until David Hernandez is closing there. Bailey has some of the worst mechanics in the game.

I kind of like having it. It's a nice quick and dirty way to see where a player's value lies. Definitely better than any top-500 ranking.

Yeah especially because it's the exact same format. I do like it for early season trades.

[Laika]

Man, I would have no idea how to value Tanaka right now.

 

Partially torn UCL in 2014

Rest chosen over surgery

2015 - misses some time with right forearm and wrist strains

October 2015 - offseason elbow surgery for a bone spur

I dunno, I think it's at the point now where it's almost useless. Player values change pretty fast, and any actual draft is full of reaches, fallers, and bad drafters.

I really like him as a pitcher but the injury risk is very disconcerting. Here's the tier he went in for BORED:

 

Darvish

Tanaka

Stroman

Quintana

T. Ross

Matz

S. Gray

Pineda

Hamels

Rodon

Smyly

 

Seems about right, but I'd probably take most of those guys (especially Stroman) ahead of him right now because the risk of him losing a year is so high, plus I loathe the Yankees.

As Tanaka owner, I wouldn't trade him for Smyly or Rodon. Possibly not Pineda, Matz, or Ross either.

[Dr. Dinger]

As a Rodon owner, I have strongly considered trading him for Tanaka. I would put Pineda and Ross at the bottom of that tier.

[Laika]

Darvish

Stroman

Gray

Hamels

Tanaka?

Matz

Quintana

Ross/Pineda/Rodon/Smyly --> pick your favourite type of warts. Bad mechanics? Past shoulder issues? Walk issues? Recent shoulder issues?

 

I feel like Matz could be ahead of Tanaka, but upside says Tanaka is definitely above the other 5.

[z3r0s]

quit analyzing my asset and start offering me good young OF'ers!!!

I was considering offering Corey Dickerson but going from Scherzer --> Tanaka made me mindlessly Google how to tie a noose, so I stopped thinking about it.

I don't have any tho

[Dr. Dinger]

Ben Revere can be yours!

Ben Revere can be yours!

 

I'll raise this one Mark Trumbo.

[Laika]

I'll raise this one Mark Trumbo.

 

Mark Trumbo, the #68 projected bat by early fall Steamer600 with no positional adjustments.

 

Probably fair.

This is the problem I had. You gotta figure he's heading for TJ surgery one year or another. But what year.
