A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Laika]

Trade deadline slowly approaching!

 

My main want:

 

CF upgrade

or failing that, an OF upgrade

 

Would dangle any prospect.

Would dangle most SP on my roster.

[z3r0s]

Altherr or Dickerson appeal? Not the sexiest options, but they are out there.

The bar is Rajai Davis and I'm not sure either is better

[Cyborg]

Catching this year is AWFUL.

 

The position is essentially flat after the top ~4 names because everybody sucks. I don't remember the position ever being so thin.

 

Even Posey has been mediocre.

With just 2016 stats

Good: Posey, Grandal, Ramos, Lucroy, Rupp, Contreras

Above Average: Martin, Gattis, Realmuto, Yadi, Castillo

SSS: Leon, Zunino, Bandy, Hermann

 

Doesn't seem that bad too me. League is 87 wRC+ compared to 85 last year.

What happened to Benintendi? ESPN update says he's getting an MRI, but not what caused it.

He injured himself fielding in last night's game. They actually cut to it during the Jays game.

Siegrist to Dinger for his 3rd MiLB

[Dr. Dinger]

Yep. I'll commish the add/drop, I can't edit the Google Doc at work tho.

[Dr. Dinger]

Therapeutic drop forthcoming

For fantasy. Even guys who are actually hitting well like Grandal, Posey, Yadi, Gattis, Martin (more) have been very frustrating in fantasy for various reasons (extended slumps, terrible luck, inconsistent playing time, lack of fantasy counting stats, etc.)

[BTS]

My trade block keeps shrinking:

 

Victor Martinez (SP or top prospect)

Howie Kendrick (SP)

Derek Dietrich (MiLB or waiver pick)

Tommy Pham (MiLB or waiver pick)

[Laika]

Wow, Ellsbury now PROJECTS for a ~90 wRC+. Just junk!

[Dr. Dinger]

Wow, Ellsbury now PROJECTS for a ~90 wRC+. Just junk!

 

He's been unplayable all season. Actually, last year too. The times when I was forced to roll with him due to injury have been bleak journeys into the ratio abyss. I've come to the conclusion that Keon Broxton is simply a better option now and going forward, and I've had zero trade interest in Ellsbury; not even for a late pick. I offered him to BTS for Siegrist, and BTS opted for a 3rd rd pick instead lol.

[z3r0s]

Processed the MiLB part of that deal.

 

As an aside, if everyone can check the trade history for their recent deals. There has been a lot of them over the past little bit, and I'd like to keep the history as accurate as possible.

Even with A-Rod and Tex coming off the books, they still have $21 million to Ellsbury for the next 4 years, followed by a $5 million buyout.

All those long-term mega deals are really biting them in the ass now.

 

In 2017, the Yankees will be speding roughly 84 million for the following:

 

CC Sabathia ($25M)

A-Rod ($21M)

Ellsbury ($21M)

McCann ($17M)

I'm glad I got rid of Ellsbury in the LOD last offseason.

I forget which one of us turned down Kepler for Ellsbury.

[BTS]

Great contribution.

 

BTW can someone push this Cishek/Dayton trade through?

 

Moved Cishek to you. Need to know who KK is dropping for Dayton.

Jorge "The Legend" Alfaro getting called up today after Chooch was traded. Step aside, Gary Sanchez, there's a new hotshot rookie C.

[The Cats Ass]

I'm torn on how to feel. I want Alfaro to fall flat on his face so that Rupp continues to get most of the starts. But then I own Alfaro in the LOD.

[Dr. Dinger]

Don't worry, he'll fall flat either way. Dude is an epic hacker.

[The Cats Ass]

Wanna double down on him then?

I am feeling conflicted as well..... I always was huge on him but finally gave up with all his injuries... It will hurt to see him succeed with someone else.

[BTS]

Hey BTS what'd you get from Gibbers for Davies?

 

He's been pretty decent actually.

 

I ended up dropping him after he blew up in his first 5-10 starts.

[Boxcar]

McCann can fill that void in your heart.

 

But not the void in your lineup

[Dr. Dinger]

McCann is the Ellsbury of catchers. Just drop him now.

[Dr. Dinger]

What void dummy?

 

If your flawless lineup could keep hitting like Josh Thole through the weekend, I'd really appreciate that.

[Boxcar]

What void dummy?

 

Someone who trades for McCann would still have a void at C...King, is that you? SG would not appreciate you using his account.
