A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

Guys I just ran into Tulo in my office building. Random AF. I'm not even in the financial district or anywhere near the RC.

You get his number?

[Dr. Dinger]

You get his number?

 

Dude, I wish. He's HAF in person, like a 9.5. He was with his wife and kid so I didn't bug him. He was wearing a Taz shirt too, so it's not like he was trying to disguise himself.

Tulowitzki facts: he can't grow a full beard

[Dr. Dinger]

I offered Gyorko for Tulo in the offseason. Lucky for me, jaysblue got greedy and asked for more.

[Laika]

jaysblue got greedy

 

shocked

[BTS]

Ronald Acuna 364/446/618 with 9 steals since his promotion to AA. I didn't expect this.

[Laika]

Jose Bautista to me

Christin Stewart to dinger

 

The reverse trade block is a proven success. Try it!

[Dr. Dinger]

[Dr. Dinger]

Christin Stewart didn't make BA's updated 100. His defence must be atrocious.

I believe it was also involving Freeman & Sale if I'm not mistaken, and I was asking if there was anyway to get Bautista in the deal as well and thats where things fell apart regarding that 3rd player swap.

 

Hindsight yeah I should have done the deal since Gyorko has been rock solid so far and Freeman is now on the DL. At the time though Gyorko wasn't a sure thing (even after his 2016 season he still had some question marks). As a LOD owner, I'm happy though so far so can't complain. Probably wouldn't have Marwin Gonzalez right now in the DDL if I did have Gyorko since I picked up Gonzalez when he was still hitting .150 something due to Tulo hitting the DL so I kind of lucked into that free agent pickup.

[Dr. Dinger]

Marwin is gonna sux tho

 

We should have just done FF for Sale straight up

[Laika]

Sale has a clear 1 WAR lead on Kershaw right now. Insane.

 

#2 leaderboard highlight has to be Ivan Nova with his 7.1% SwStr rate and 4.76 K/9. Five walks in ten starts!

[Dr. Dinger]

Sale already has 100 Ks, it's f***ed.

Possible 20/20 CF Kevin Pillar OTB for a SP. Remember, forum expert Gruber92 is BULLISH on Pillar, so the breakout is probably legit.

Were you able to hold a straight face while typing that?

[Laika]

Pillar actually does seem a bit better. He might be an upgrade on Cutch.

To be fair, he did call it before the season started, so it's not like FanGraphs who sees a player with good stats, and then concocts a theory as to why it was predictable.

2 years ago could you imagine you'd ever be saying this

[BTS]

Pillar might actually be a better version of Ender Inciarte, who is useful in these leagues. 20/20 with a league-average slash and CF eligibility is easily a top-200 player. He's actually been 68th in value in the DDL so far.

Ya, I'm actually sold. If I needed an OFer I'd put up a SP for him.

[Dr. Dinger]

I don't really buy his power gains, but overall his line does look relatively sustainable.

[The Cats Ass]

He's shown double digit power the past few years. Just turned 28 which could be considered a physical peak. I could see him scratching 20 out. It's also nice to see an increase in his walk rate.

[Boxcar]

To be fair, he did call it before the season started, so it's not like FanGraphs who sees a player with good stats, and then concocts a theory as to why it was predictable.

 

Would he have called it if Pillar was a Yankee? Is it fair to give credit to anyone who's predictions are based in pure homerism?

 

Unrelated, it feels very weird to be leading this league in saves. If you need a closer and want to deal me a starter, get at me

Yeah should have haha. Sometimes it's just better doing 1 for 1 deals. When you add extra pieces, it messes things up. If Freeman was still healthy, would have been a blockbuster that worked out for both sides.

 

I think Marwin could be a 20-25 HR bat this season. He's displayed some decent pop & speed in the past and he's improved his BB%. Likely finishes in the .260/.350/.470 range which is still pretty solid. Still a valuable piece to have since he's eligible at every position except pitcher & catcher lol.

I think Pillar could scratch out 20 HR's one season. Doubt he does it consistently year in & out, though I see him having a 20 HR season at some point, most likely this season.

Anybody have interest in Carson Fulmer? He was a fringe top-100 guy entering the season, and has been mediocre in AAA. I need to open up spots on my farm.

Inciarte for Pillar and Fulmer, lets do this!

That was a nice pluck, I highly doubt he keeps it going.

C'mon bud, I was joking. Never send anything absurd like that again, thanks!
