A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[AdamGreenwood]

No wonder Greenwood wants to quit fantasy baseball

 

Not even my worst BBDL trade.

Still, team is starting to look good, and excited about my farm team.

[KingKat]

What's the highest pick someone will give me for Manuel Margot?

I'll give you my highest pick

[Boxcar]

He was actually sitting 95/96 out of the pen today and 90 on his slider, so I'm not totally mad. Also, I'm facing Boxy.

 

f*** you, I nearly beat FTD last week

[Dr. Dinger]

f*** you, I nearly beat FTD last week

 

I'm not saying your team is utterly abysmal... but your pitching kinda is... and I doubt a stinker from Gsellman is going to cost me much.

[Dr. Dinger]

Tough break about Freeman, if you'll excuse the pun.

 

Wonder if he's ever the same?

 

Damn shame too, Jaysblue was crushing the league :D

[Dr. Dinger]

Miggy day-to-day again with another old fat guy muscle pull. On the one hand, I like Featherdick, so I hope Miggy remains relatively productive. But on the other hand, I'm pretty happy to have sold when I did.

[BTS]

Jaysblue, LoMo could keep you afloat!

[Boxcar]

Interesting since my pitching has been better than yours

[Dr. Dinger]

You're an ******* for the avatar thing.

[Boxcar]

Damn, you're right. My pitching is abysmal, especially Berrios. Knew I should have benched him.

[jaysblue]

Tough break about Freeman, if you'll excuse the pun.

 

Wonder if he's ever the same?

 

f*** Aaron Loup.

 

It definitely worries me about whether he'll be the same or not. Outside of fantasy baseball, would be sad to see Freeman go all Lyle Overbay after.

[jaysblue]

Damn shame too, Jaysblue was crushing the league :D

 

I was going for the famous Prime Ministers Trophy since it would have been an honour to have my name next to yours. Tough luck.

[jaysblue]

Jaysblue, LoMo could keep you afloat!

 

I'd consider LoMo. Tommy Joseph is at least hitting now though don't expect him to hit well for that long.

[Dr. Dinger]

Albert Pujols can be had for cheap, also.

[The Cats Ass]

If you want to continue your hunt for the PM Trophy Chris Davis can be had. Better then all the other names being thrown around. He's not as cheap as a Pujols or LoMo though.

[BTS]

Is this the year that Pujols is actually done?

[jaysblue]

Is this the year that Pujols is actually done?

 

He's chasing 600 HR's though. So who cares!

[Dr. Dinger]

Is this the year that Pujols is actually done?

 

I thought it was last year, but then he went on a tear. He's still getting the Mike Trout RBI bump, and like it or not, RBI are a category.

[TheHurl]

f*** Aaron Loup.

 

It definitely worries me about whether he'll be the same or not. Outside of fantasy baseball, would be sad to see Freeman go all Lyle Overbay after.

 

I sent you an offer to ease the worry, busy guy like you shouldn't put up with this kind of stress.

[KingKat]

Margot and pick 56 to SpeedyGose for pick 26.

[BTS]

Margot and pick 56 to SpeedyGose for pick 26.

 

Interesting. I've probably brought Margot's numbers up a dozen times since you made your post, but couldn't convince myself.

[Dr. Dinger]

I was considering offering 22 straight up for Margot, but he looks like he might be fringy as an MLB keeper at this point in his career. I never really considered him that exciting as a fantasy prospect, although I'm a bit surprised to see KK cut bait on him this early in his career.

He looks like he's probably going to put up Kiermaier fantasy numbers, with a small chance that he becomes a Starling Marte.

[Laika]

Pillar and Kiermaier are good comps. Basically - fringe or lower-end keeper due to CF tag.

 

I think it's a good sell by KK. I did offer pick #39 for him yesterday but today I feel like that's stupid.

[Dr. Dinger]

I think it's a good sell by KK.

 

I don't agree (all due respect, KK). Rebuilding teams should be hoarding players like Margot and hoping that some of them turn out better than expected. A 2nd round pick doesn't really get you much these days, you probably won't draft a prospect who'll be as highly regarded as Margot was just last year. And it's not like KK was facing a roster crunch, he's ostensibly shipping Margot out so he can play Trea in CF and get Brandon Phillips into his starting lineup.

I think Margot's upside appears mediocre enough that I'd prefer to just re-roll the asset in the draft.

26th overall is certainly high enough to land a total stud, looking at our past drafts. It's a risk but the payoff could be quite large and the chance at a payoff is also decent:

 

Gleyber - 20th

Lamb - 25th

Reyes - 21st

Turner - 22nd

Urias - 22nd

Manaea - 23rd

Adames - 25th

Quantrill - 22nd

Paddack - 25th

Rutherford - 27th

Funkhouser - 28th

 

Of course he could also draft Jon Harris 26th overall or something stupid like that.

I have Carlos Gomez as my full time CF. I also just took a flyer on Michael Taylor who I feel isn't all that different a lottery ticket from Margot. This has nothing to do with getting Brandon Phillips into my lineup.

Do you really wanna stack up our DDL draft resumes, bruh? Didn't think so.

[Laika]

Do you really wanna stack up our DDL draft resumes, bruh? Didn't think so.

 

It wouldn't be a fair comparison, really. I draft with the express intention of trading everyone I pick within a matter of months, which is a pretty big handicap when simply looking back.

 

Alls I knows is that I've been on the podium more times than you
