A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

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

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.

 

Nomar Comin' would be a pretty badass name. Too bad it's already taken tho.

Omar is the best character on the best show of all time. Paying homage to him seems wise.

[Dr. Dinger]

I dunno, just pick a cheesy name based on one of your core dudes.

 

Rags to Riches Story

Dirty Sanchez

Good Eaton

Oye Como Va?????

Can someone roll Spanky onto his back and check his pulse?

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

 

I think (insert clever name) has slowly developed into a decent handle to be honest.

[Laika]

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?

 

Trade for Greg Bird and then be the Snow Birds because you f***ing leave us for half the year every year

Insert one of King's stupid GIF's here as that genuinely made me spit out my coffee. Best line of the off-season.

[TheHurl]

I'd like a ruling. Yahoo is allowing me to already move Staumont to the n/a so I think I should get pick 93 back rather than waiting for the rush. Thoughts?

I sent him a trade offer. When he looks at that I'll let him know that he is up.

Owners cannot "hold" extra MLB assets (players + waiver picks) after the cut down date. This means that if an owner keeps 20 players and has 6 waiver picks (one acquired via trade), their worst pick disappears effective at the cut down date. This also applies to extra MLB assets acquired during the draft; if an owner that kept 20 players and has five waiver picks trades an MiLB pick or a prospect for a waiver pick or MLB player, their worst waiver pick disappears effective at the confirmation of said trade. An owner that has made all of their waiver picks and thus has 25 MLB players cannot make any trades during the waiver draft that would give them more MLB player(s), even if Yahoo would accommodate the trade (by, say, placing a player in an NA or DL slot).

[z3r0s]

don't know if the above applies, but the sense I get is no.

[TheHurl]

stupid prepared for everything league.

Nah. Everyone has DL, day-to-day, or NA players.

 

In the current set of rules we eliminate extra waiver picks so everyone exits the waiver draft with 25 MLB players, maximum.

 

If people would prefer a system where you can put your keepers or selected players in the DL and NA slots and make as many waiver selections as you would like, own, and can accommodate, then we can vote on it for next year.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Hyun-Jin Ryu (elbow, shoulder) was sitting 84-86 mph with his fastball in his latest bullpen session.

 

RIP tubby

I wonder what guys who throw ~90 sit at in their first spring training BP sessions.

 

I would assume some sit 90, other sit 85. Depends on the guy.

 

Ryu could still maybe possibly not suck? But he's probably done.

[Dr. Dinger]

I'm pretty sure the guy who's pitched 4.2 MLB innings over the last two seasons does, indeed, suxx.

[KingKat]

and god damn you change team names a lot KK.

 

I couldn't do another season with "Jean Segura-lites". The reference is dated and even though it's supposed to be an oblique reference to how awesome Mookie Betts is, the irony just kind of gets lost. My team might still not be all that great but I wanted to at least have a less depressing sounding name.

Boxy, you game?

[BTS]

Did someone actually keep Ryu?

[Spanky99]

Sorry fellas, I'm on a Buckley's, Neo-Citran, soup diet... non self inflicted sickness suxxxxxxx.

 

Took Will Harris, e-mailed The Hurl.

There is no Rum in that Diet you must be sick

I'll take Dirk Diggler aka Derek Dietrich. Not going to get the other guy I wanted at 28 but oh well. I figure a 500 PA guy with four positions might help me move up to 17th.

That's cute. Prepare for the frustration of him being routinely benched or pulled for a pinch hitter to ABs into a game.

[Dr. Dinger]

I’m going to go ahead and take Miguel Sano, I mean Chris Carter! ... er, Kenny(s) Vargas.

I almost took him over Hedges at 12. Switch hitter with big power, who has shown the ability to hit MLB pitching. Could go 30/100 if allowed to play everyday.

His splits are kinda fugly, but the Twins plan on rolling with him and the walk rate is great. I could see 25 HR and an .800 OPS, maybe a bit more if everything clicks.

Thank you for building up his trade value. As a Vargas owner in the LOD, I appreciate this!

I got Donnie Baseball lasting until May 1st only.

[Laika]

I'll just take Gregerson I guess.
