A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

You definitely did the right thing Min. You went from no talent to a viable stock.

 

In past seasons I've tried to pick top 100 guys and then trade everyone in the following offseason to make room for new draftees, but this year I really just sat on some guys and may take them and some new draftees to maturity. Declining prospect trade values had something to do with it; you can't really flip non-impact guys for decent major league chips right now.

 

Right now is the absolute worst time to try to trade prospects; everyone's farm is full.

I would give up all my earthly possessions if it meant that Dinger would STFU about Seager.

I have so little to cling to in BORED, just f*** off, won'tcha? If you don't like Seager, you probably don't like baseball.

It's hard to imagine you could have a UCL tear and still be throwing 100 MPH.

another PH HR from Contreras, might just be valuable enough as a part time catcher lol

Miguel Montero left with an injury, so that should open up a path to playing time anyway.

[TRM]

Steamer has been remarkably accurate with these four pitchers. Their October pitching projections take too much heat ITT.

 

Well executed "I told you so". Bravo.

Ya, but now we can go over the 12 limit prospect cap...right?

I thought that was only in the offseason, but maybe I'm wrong.

Only in the offseason!

I'd really appreciate if your team would keep hitting like Ryan Goins through the end of the week.

With the impending return of Alex Gordon, surprisingly useful Joe Mauer OTB. looking for a starter and/or a SP eligible holdz guy.

 

Moreland is available also if that tickles anyones fancy.

just moved over the remaining prospects from the draft sheet to the asset sheet. Please check you prospects to make sure everything is reflected accurately.

I don't know if I can read an article with "z's" in the title. That s is just so unnecessary.

So it looks like Tim Anderson can handle short at a high enough level that he should stay there long-term, and he hits the ball a fair bit harder than the Alcides Escobars and Elvis Andruses of the world. It would be nice if he could walk once in a blue moon though.

His contact rate is quite a bit below league average, so I'd be worried that he's going to get exposed pretty badly once the league gets more looks at him. I agree he's better than Alcides for fantasy purposes, although that really isn't saying much considering Alcides is currently the #1 ranked hitter in TAC by a whopping 40 points.

I've never really loved his profile. I do imagine the K-rate settles somewhere in the 20-25% range. Really, I've been encouraged about his ability to defend at short. There's a path to him being pretty useful if he sticks at the position, much less so if he moves to CF.

[Dr. Dinger]

Yeah, the bar for being useful at SS in fantasy is pretty easy to clear if he can stick. He could have some 40 SB seasons, and SB are pretty rare these days.

[Dr. Dinger]

I'm looking to trade Darren O'Day or Tony Watson for an OF option better than Ben Revere.
