A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[z3r0s]

Interesting,

100 waiver picks in 2014

99 waiver picks in 2015

98 waiver picks in 2016

97 (currently) waiver picks in 2017

 

If these trends continue...

Also, promoting Josh Bell

 

ahhhhh, you ruined it!

[jaysblue]

I'm in a gambling mood.

 

To jaysblue: Choo

To FTD: Shleby Miller

 

Confirmed.

[jaysblue]

Shelby Miller f***ing blows. Would not own again. Frankly I'm surprised JB didn't cut him.

 

It was either him or Folty since I wanted to keep Neftali Feliz. Figured Miller had at least more upside if he rebounded to his 2015 level. Happy to land Choo however. If he stays healthy, he's a valuable bat in this format with his high OBP skills.

[Laika]

Choo and Miller both blow. Nice garbage swap. Folty is more intriguing than either

Didn't BTS have a huge man crush on him?

[Fearthedoc]

I agree both are bad. Personally I think Choo could still contribute in OBP and be useful but I have enough old vet OF/UTIL bats as is so wanted to swap one for pitching and I'm hoping Miller can somehow rebound.

[Fearthedoc]

Didn't BTS have a huge man crush on him?

 

Yes I vividly remember him praising me when I swapped Chen for Choo 2 years ago

Yeah, I absolutely love the idea of a healthy Choo as a fantasy asset. I think I`ve only ever owned him once though.

[BTS]

That seems unlikely considering I was the guy receiving Chen.

[Dr. Dinger]

I once traded David Price for Choo. So that happened.

Yeah if Choo can rebound and repeat his 2015 level, I'll be more than happy to have him as my OF3 or DH. Hopefully the deal works out for both sides.

But that was back in 2013 when he was an absolute fantasy beast CF with Cincinnatti. That trade wouldn`t even look bad if he had managed to stay healthy. It could have easily went the other way (Choo stayed healthy and Price started to break down).

Yes but unfortunately Choo didn't stay healthy and I handed North a championship. I had also traded him James Shields (who was still good) for Cliff Lee, who never threw another inning. I gave him 450 incredible innings that season. I think I also gave him CCC dirt cheap and he proceeded to smack 37 bombs.

Clearly I'm getting old.

[The Cats Ass]

I'll take Fernando Rodney.

[z3r0s]

did you email next?

[The Cats Ass]

PM'd spanky

[Fearthedoc]

I'll take Fernando Rodney.

 

Bold prediction: Rodney finishes the year with 35+ saves.

[Fearthedoc]

E-mail the next people too. A lot of people have e-mail hardwired to their phone and will get a notification.

[Dr. Dinger]

Bold prediction: Rodney finishes the year with 35+ saves.

 

Not bold prediction: Rodney is released before opening day.

[Laika]

I traded fartface for Miller in the LoD back in October.

 

I agree that Miller was definitely not keeper worthy in this league.

Maybe even both. I drafted him last year and he put up a 0.31 ERA for the first half in SD, then a 5.89 ERA second half in MIA.

[TRM]

I gave my waiver 20 pick to Dr. D make for me.

 

Dr. Dre

 

Also, how can I dig up those rapper comparisons you made?

[Dr. Dinger]

NJH can you please delete that namedrop

2016 preview, real 90s gangsta style.

found it

[z3r0s]

I've been thinking for a while about rearranging the spreadsheet to reflect the division (but holding off because I'm worried about f***ing with the linking and opening up a can of worms).

 

I've worked up the courage, does anyone have an issues with me moving the teams around by division? Only issue I can see is people know where teams are (generally) on the sheet as it is.

[z3r0s]

and god damn you change team names a lot KK.

[TRM]

I'm thinking about a permanent rebrand to "The Mintenders".

 

Pros:

It's not attached to a player

It can be used to compliment me ("contender") and attack me ("pretender")

There's only one Min-tender

Simple

Easy to identify team with owner

 

Cons:

Kinda boring?

Not particularly clever

No one likes Min

 

Any insights?

[Dr. Dinger]

Pro: Victor Robles is going to be the next Cameron Maybin and you probably don't want your franchise tied to his name

[z3r0s]

I've got to rebrand to move into hopefully competition. Been thinking about it for a long time and have come to realization that I suck at coming up with team names.

 

*edit, I did like the f*** Dahls in my redraft last year
