A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[GoldBull]

Have I been back long enough to be a prick? Especially to someone I have no relationship with?

 

Kinda felt like I overdid it there.

 

Eh, whatever.

 

I'll do a dispersal...it'll be fun to mix things up, even though I'm probably going to end up with a worse team.

I doubt it. I'm the guy who traded once Carlos Correa for Kuroda and Matt Holliday.

 

Anyway, I don't think you're a beta cuck. I think you're pretty cool. Welcome aboard.

[Laika]

I think I may opt in. I'll have to email blast the Yahoo league with a Friday deadline to opt in or not. Should be fun.

You should. It’s Machado and then a pile of puke.

[Laika]

It's good puke though. Puke with upside. Carefully curated.

I had you pegged for a stubborn opt-out kinda guy.

I am always down to clown

You sound like Dinger talking about one of his "reclamation projects"

[P2F]

I'm about to bear the fruits of my quick rebuild this season after taking over an old, pile of s*** roster.

[Spanky99]

Spanky should be in too, so we have at least 3 teams involved.

 

Your comment had me check, I've been 12 wins better than your dumbass historically, lol.

I'd say watch it, but I can't be bothered.

 

Until you know the bitterness of a finals defeat at the hands of a division rival, or the thrill of upsetting the Prime Minister's Trophy winner in the first round, I have no choice but to take your comments with the smallest grains of salt.

[BTS]

Yeah, but now I'm fresh out of a multi-year rebuild and you're going to be riding Jose Ramirez and a bunch of crusty old crap to a finish somewhere between 7th and 10th for the forseeable future.

[Spanky99]

Nah, I'll be hitting paydirt with my spects and a retool... shortly.

 

Also, yes my bats are old as dirt, lol.

[BTS]

Nah, I'll be hitting paydirt with my spects and a retool... sortly.

 

I actually kind of admire your resolve. You're out there scratching and clawing for the playoffs every year and I respect that.

[TRM]

Interesting wrinkle re: dispersal draft.

 

All three teams currently committed are from the same division.

Oh, cool... lol.

So amid the flurry of league activity, it seems a good idea to bring this back up. A while ago I floated the idea of a DDL trophy. The idea was that it would be a printable trophy (fold and glue type deal) that would be modified (by Mrs. z3r0s) yearly and sent to the league winner. This would save the hassle of high initial cost, high shipping costs, and potential loss/damage of a real trophy, while also allowing a winner to keep a trophy for his accomplishment (much like the world series trophy to boot!).

 

I purchased a template file a while back, but Mrs. z3r0s was subsequently knocked up, and more recently has been looking after this kids. I figured it wasn't a good time to bug her about my fantays baseball trophy... but that time is now! The template looks like this;

 

 

My request to her was to make some modifications to make it look a little more manly (excuse my toxic masculinity). Removing the green and some of the fluffier details, as well as redesigning the handles were my thoughts. I'd love inputs from you guys on the colours (gold? siliver? other?) and any details you think should be included.

 

The other part of my little scheme was the base. I was thinking it would be a fun idea to have the base of the trophy be made of real wood (I can mill it up) and have that piece be shipped around to the current champion. Something like that could be shipped in a bubble-warp envelop so the costs wouldn't be to bad, and I thought it would be fun to ask that years Town Bike to cover these costs. The base could be added to without much trouble when spaces ran out. So I'd like your thoughts on this as well.

 

Let me know what you think and if its worth our time to do or not.

 

Cheers!

One Eloy Jimenez joins the club in May... I'm expecting he hits the ground running. Thanks.

Yes. To everything.

I genuinely want to opt in...although I feel like middle of the pack is what I'd draft anyway (it's who I am...middle of the pack guy). I'm 95% sure I'm throwing Thor into the mix and will be in. Will confirm tonight.

[z3r0s]

Once everyone is confirmed I will compile a dispersal draft tab on the spreadsheet with all assets. We should make a deadline to opt in an send a mass email to the league. Is end of day Sunday reasonable? Draft to start early the following week? Should give it enough time to run through before cutdown deadline.

I'd say decide by Friday and start on the weekend. Everyone remaining in the league is active enough to decide by then, and the BORED dispersal draft is still going 2 weeks later. This thing will take time, let's get her going.

 

Also I have a trade erection chubbing up already at the thought.

It's Hockey Day in Canada this weekend...yeah Sunday is fine. I'll check in all weekend to see when it starts.

[z3r0s]

must have missed that post by Laika. I guess I'll wait for the email.

[Laika]

I think we do Friday midnight as the opt-in deadline. Start the thing the next day.

 

Yahoo email blast about the dispersal will go out tonight.

 

I am opting in.

[Laika]

Goldbull PM me your preferred Yahoo email

[Dr. Dinger]

You asked erryone to add their 20 keepers but there is a cap of 5 adds per week so unless you change that, commissioners will still need to do it.

[Abomination]

I won't be opting in.

[Laika]

Cap removed for the spring.
