z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 lowering that K% is huge for him. Hope he does you well Good trade for both of us with Urias doing his thing in AAA.
Laika Community Moderator Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 Addy Russell up to a 115 wRC+. Some comparables to the age: Hanley 116 wRC...next season 144 Ripken 116 wRC...next season 146 Trammell 115 wRC...next season 97, but a 142 age 25 season. Tulo 109 wRC...next season 83, but then 138 the following. I'm going to go ahead and say it! For the first time ever in a dynasty pool I will have an elite SS. Now I'll go back to talking about how s*** my team is. He has 3 bombs and projects for a 96 wRC+. Really stretching the reasonable limits of "elite"
TheHurl Site Manager Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 He has 3 bombs and projects for a 96 wRC+. Really stretching the reasonable limits of "elite" Will have...future tense. 96 works in to one last tank....it's the 130+ next year I look forward to.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 It's not stat-scouting, I told you like two years ago his sub-standard batspeed would struggle against advanced pitching. Probably why his ISO keeps tumbling. But I'm sure that will change at the highest level. Lol you're so unbelievably dumb and can't even see it. Go ahead and tell me I've never finished ahead of you in a dynasty, because that is a completely relative counter.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 I really wish I had kept David Ortiz, what a f***ing monster.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 I really wish I had kept David Ortiz, what a f***ing monster. You didn't keep him, who'd you trade him too?
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 You didn't keep him, who'd you trade him too? I think it was some team that's still not good enough to win. But with Tanaka they might have a chance.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 I think it was some team that's still not good enough to win. But with Tanaka they might have a chance. I'm making the playoffs bro!
TheHurl Site Manager Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) decided to buy MILB.tv again (mainly to watch Harrisburg and Giolito today...against Clint Frazier). If anyone has a game or replay to watch send me a message and I'll likely share my info. Giolito looks very average so far. The sound on the broadcast cuts in and out. The Harrisburg jerseys are the worst ever for Family Game night. Between his terrible flow and how figidity Frazier is...he's very tough to watch. Athletic though Edited May 15, 2016 by TheHurl
torontofan Verified Member Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Wasn't Tillman your boy for the longest time too? Tough to see him end up in such villainous hands when he finally puts it together. Well I rostered that ******** for about 3 years
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Wasn't Tillman your boy for the longest time too? Tough to see him end up in such villainous hands when he finally puts it together. I own him in PL and BORED so I'm actually quite good with it. If you're looking for the next breakout ace, he would be a candidate.

Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Chris Tillman suxxxx Nah, he suxxxed last year, but the previous 3 years he was a solid rotation piece in 20 team leagues. His uptick in Ks is intriguing. I think he will be useful again this year, and it might be a career year.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 I don't see that at all tbh. If he holds all of the improvement, he could maybe be right-handed current Gio Gonzalez. Gio is a stud, I would be ecstatic with that outcome.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Gio is a stud, I would be ecstatic with that outcome. Left three pitcher starts on the bench due to not setting my lineup. Probably still would not have caught you in K's and W's but I certainly won't with everyone benched. I think next year, I'm going to eliminate all other Yahoo! teams. Checking multiple teams is too much of a chore. One team here and one team in Fantrax should be more manageable. Eventually maybe only the Frantrax team.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 You'd give up your DDL team and keep your LOD team? That's just weird.
TRM Verified Member Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 You'd give up your DDL team and keep your LOD team? That's just weird. Yeah, I reported him.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 LOD just really isn't that good a league. I thought I was going to enjoy it this year after having fun making some deals in the off-season, but it just seems tedious compared to the DDL (plus Fantrax hate)
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 It's definitely interesting, I just didn't find it all that fun, more of a chore to keep up on that much depth and my free time is limited. Maybe it's a young/old man's game, am I wrong in that seems to be the demographic loving it? Heh. Yeah it mostly seems to be enjoyed more by the younger/uni age guys. I just prefer the depth of a 20 team league.

I would love to leave Yahoo for the DDL but no way would I ever consider leaving the league over it. I'd drop everything except for my 25 year old league for before leaving the DDL. For the record CBS has the best platform I've played on...but it's a pay service.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Holy shitballs, Danny V is saving my ass this week. 3 ding dongs today and 5 this week now.

I've played on CBS but that was a while in a league with weekly transactions. You could only make pickups if a player went on the DL and your DL player and your new player where linked together in such a way that you had to choose which of the two to keep when the DL player got healthy and had no bench. Was hard to get a feel for whether it was good or not in a league with such goofy settings.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Holy shitballs, Danny V is saving my ass this week. 3 ding dongs today and 5 this week now. Saving me in the PL too. Really glad I stayed the course with him through two mostly miserable months.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Saving me in the PL too. Really glad I stayed the course with him through two mostly miserable months. 172 wRC+ now. I'm so glad we kept Colabello over him...

My CBS league is weekly transactions and roto as well (and our commish makes all moves as it's an FAAB situation) but the daily emails with stats, standings and player news are sweet. Not as much a necessity with this league though. Great database of players though and minor league capabilities.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 I can't remember the last time I made a Saturday night move just for a potential stat win in the DDL, but playing North I really felt I had to. Caught him in the stat I was seeking (K's)...need a win now too. Lots of stats could still swing but I've enjoyed this week.

I also enjoyed the press releases for trades.

TheHurl Site Manager Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 A Siegrest or Lyons K tonight please. I'm dedicating my win to the dumped and discarded GD (even though I had no clue he wasn't handling the team anymore)
