A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Laika]

Yeah I would have much preffered that the other way. The drop is really sharp in the waiver draft though TBH I have no idea if there's even a single good IFA this year.

 

I haven't heard of anybody... Otani is already owned, of course.

f*** you hurl

f*** you hurl

 

I am still in mourning, I can't celebrate the Otani ownership yet. There are other internationals on their way. I truly believe that Yamada gets posted and with 2B as his likely spot for now he'll be a valuable asset.

International talk got me to looking up some stats for the Asian season. Willin Rosario put up a .339/.414/.661 season. The 9.8% BB rate is likely a factor in them pitching around him rather than him developing a new found patience, but only 61k's in 510 PA's is impressive. Looks like he's a 1B now, only 28 still. Can he be Thames light?

He never really struck out at an exorbitant clip, 22% is right around MLB league average. I would imagine the average FB velocity is significantly worse over there, though, so to make a short answer long, no I don't think so.

Looking to trade for an established closer. I'm dangling Sixto Sanchez, Nate Pearson, and Jeren Kendall. Could also talk roster players if prospects don't pique your interest

I hope Otani dies too, even though I own him in BORED.

 

I'm that petty.

I have ESTABLISHED closer Greg Holland. HMU

I thought he killed the fastball in the MLB though (haven't looked that up) and off speed stuff was his issue.

Can't get more established than Fernando Rodney. He's been saving games for years and years!

[Dr. Dinger]

Francisco Mejia, 3B, Glendale Desert Dogs (Cleveland Indians): 4-5, 2 R, RBI

Reports of Mejia in the infield have been mixed, with some saying he is a good enough athlete to make it work after a lot of practice. While others believe he won’t learn the reactions and quick feet necessary for it.

So the Indians have the best C prospect in baseball and decide to convert him to 3B at the last second. Why?

Simplest explanation is that they don’t think he can catch.

Apparently part of the reason is his poor English.

*CHALLENGE MODE*

 

Boxy,

 

If you make the playoffs this year I will,

 

a) Never post about politics again

 

Buy you one of these

 

 

I have no desire to win either of those prizes.

[Dr. Dinger]

Can't wait to see which 3 Top 50 prospects you get for him!

Someone will overpay with elite prospects, and Nelson will never have another meaningful fantasy season. The way she goes.

I have accepted this outcome.

Jimmeh to p2f, Dinger's 1st milb to me.

 

Hear! Hear!

[Dr. Dinger]

Yeah ok, that's alright.

[z3r0s]

processed

[BTS]

That's reasonable.

 

Remember when we all piled on Sammy for trading Nelson for Nova + a 1st?

At the time he was a breakout semi-ace though, not a labrum tear rehabber.

[The Cats Ass]

Is this going to get deals rolling? Who is in need of a SS that is good enough to start? If so, Andrelton Simmons is calling for you!

[z3r0s]

I'd love to upgrade my BP with a real stopper (collecting SV's). Would like to deal any prospect asset outside of Senzel and Whitely, and could also talk roster guys.

[Dr. Dinger]

HMU when you want to pay the piper for Craig Kimbrel.

[z3r0s]

I haven't forgot, I just can't find the precedent for trading a top 10 'spect for a closer.

And Whitely... I've just got some sort of thing for him, so that's my issue

The cubs did it and it won them a world series, and they only had him for a few months

Willson Contreras for Andrew Miller doesn't ring any bells for you, huh?

was he really a top prospect in June 2016? Def helium guy at that point, but I can't remember

He was in between lists, kinda like Tatis when I traded him for Kimbrel this fall. Both effectively Top 20 guys.
