A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[z3r0s]

Officially getting nothing out of Aaron Sanchez this year hurts.

 

Time can be real good having a Jays player / fantasy asset, and time can be real s*****.

[Laika]

Looks like my season is gonna be done. Unless Davis can get me 2 HRs tonight

 

I was sweating after he hit one in his 3rd PA.

Good battle. Pretty satisfying to knock you out after you ran away from me with the division a few weeks ago.

[Laika]

Also, I've been receiving a number of inquiries on Brent Honeywell; I'm a big fan but some of these have been pretty good so I may decide to move him. I more than likely won't accept a deal before the playoffs are done, but you can start getting your early bids in now and we can get a line of communication going, that is if the board reverts to loading a page in under 5 minutes.

 

I think I offered Kopech for Honeywell a few months ago, Gibbers rejected it but I still think it's fair.

Do you like screwballs or triple digits? Kopech is certainly more handsome too.

[Dr. Dinger]

Seems like an easy reject; Honeywell has better K rates and vastly superior command and better/more secondaries.

[Laika]

They are clearly coinflip prospects. Kopech is a god, his numbers are extremely legit and he could just as easily be an Ace. Velocity is so important at the highest level.

[Dr. Dinger]

I feel like Kopech and Glasnow are a coinflip. Honeywell is almost as perfect as a pitching prospect gets, and he still routinely hits 95 on his heater, so it's not like he's just a pitchability guy either.

[Dr. Dinger]

Remember the Brandon McCarthy-John Danks prospect challenge trade? Holy s*** we are old af.

Speaking of Glasnow, he starts on Wednesday. I'm really looking forward to seeing him. That 30% K-BB% in AAA is bananas.

Something about Rays pitching prospects doesn't sit right with me... maybe it's the Matt Moore effect. Or the Hellickson effect. Or Blake Snell.

 

Anyway, lots of their dudes seem to murder MiLB and then turn wholly pedestrian in the Show

David Price and Chris Archer worked out pretty well. Alex Cobb worked out well before he was hurt, Odorizzi has been about as expected. I don't really subscribe to the idea that one team is going to affect a pitcher's outcome significantly. If they're good, healthy, and can learn, it will work out. A lot of them just don't work out, regardless of organization. Matt Moore has no one to blame but himself, although it is entertaining to go back and see which prospect sites ranked him above Mike Trout.

[Dr. Dinger]

And how's Cargo doing, again?

[Dr. Dinger]

Yo I swear I didn't even submit this one:

 

BT (Chicago): Who is the better major leaguer: Ronald Acuna or Victor Robles?

 

Scooter Hotz: Right now, it looks like it's Acuna. But considering that you're asking about a 19-year-old (Acuna) and a 20-year-old (Robles), the range of outcomes for each is incredibly high. Twenty years from now, any analyst who picked the player out of these two who ended up being better got lucky. Hopefully they won't mistake their good fortune for actual skill.

[BTS]

And how's Cargo doing, again?

 

wRC+ of 74 at 31 years old, and almost certain to leave Coors. It really grinds my gears that SG landed a prospect of Keller's calibre for him.

[z3r0s]

I will 100% take a gamble on Cargo if you want to trade him GD

[Laika]

Round 3 huh NJH?

 

Ding. Ding.

 

 

This is the year

 

My pitching is so bad that it just might work

[Laika]

Players more dead than CarGo have bounced back

[Dr. Dinger]

Players more dead than CarGo have bounced back

 

Bounce back to what, exactly? Half an injury-shortened season of 115 wRC+ without the benefit of Coors?

[P2F]

I'm looking for a SS, and can offer any of Justin Bour, Drunk Ho Kang, and possibly Tommy Pham to land one.

 

Hmu to discuss.

[Dr. Dinger]

Holy shite, I didn't realize how badly his Ks have fallen off.

[BTS]

Holy shite, I didn't realize how badly his Ks have fallen off.

 

He looks like a fringe keeper, so he'll probably get traded for a top-25 prospect.

[Dr. Dinger]

Yes, I'll be curious to see which rebuilding team inexplicably gives silvergun a building block prospect for Hamels. Won't be me, at least.

[Dr. Dinger]

Actually I could really a depth starter HMU

Some material to read before we all watch Tyler Glasnow's triumphant return to MLB tomorrow.

[P2F]

To complete the massive Daniel Murphy deal from the trade deadline, Havok is sending me Fernando Romero.

[z3r0s]

Rhys Hoskins...

 

 

Can you be a team MVP when you don't come up till August?

This is going to look really bad for you if Glasnow gets shelled while giving up like 5 walks to 2 strikeouts.

I've considered this and have decided to ghost from this thread in the event that it happens.

[Dr. Dinger]

Rhys Hoskins is Babe Ruth.

[Laika]

Well that was a quick matchup

[Dr. Dinger]

Well that was a quick matchup

 

Well you might... well there's still... maybe if...

 

nope, you're f***ed.
