A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

Holy f*** what? Totally caught me off guard.

 

It’s pronounced like Derek with a T.

[Boxcar]

It’s pronounced like Derek with a T.

 

That's how it's supposed to be pronounced the Pakistani way too

 

But everytime white people encounter a foreign name, they assume every "I" makes a long "e" sound for some reason. Mostly brown people just go along with it.

I can confirm I am white and would have said Tar-eek

I was expecting him to be black though, and most likely he would go with the Tar-eek pronunciation - assuming he was American born I guess - if that was the case I would think.

[jaysblue]

Will take a True Cardinal in C Ivan Herrera

[Dr. Dinger]

I'll be a homer and take Kloff.

How much room does Hurl have left for picks?

[Laika]

How much room does Hurl have left for picks?

 

Looks like just 1 spot

[jays4life19]

Looks like just 1 spot

 

Thanks. He has a specific player he wanted with his last pick so that makes that easy.

[jays4life19]

Victor Mesa Jr

[Dr. Dinger]

Victor Mesa Jr

 

Was picked like 40 spots ago.

[Laika]

lol

[jays4life19]

Was picked like 40 spots ago.

 

Someone picked Victor Mesa JR. really?

[jays4life19]

That's weird, sorry i did not even bother checking that one.

 

 

Luis Medina. Boxy favourite prospect

[Dr. Dinger]

Someone picked Victor Mesa JR. really?

 

I know, it’s hard to believe.

[Spanky99]

Someone picked Victor Mesa JR. really?

 

No, lol... I took the other Mesa.

[Spanky99]

I know, it’s hard to believe.

 

Rude.

[Laika]

Oh right there are brothers

[Boxcar]

Seniors Circuit Drops

 

Lange, Jackson, Adolfo, pick 97 & pick 104.

 

J4L will be doing my draft for me. See you in September.

 

You're gonna enjoy owning Luis Medina.

 

Calllllled it

[jays4life19]

Calllllled it

 

When you quit the groupchat he had posted (without me ever bringing him up) and said he would be good with me drafting him. This was after he posted a glowing report from BA on a recent start.

 

So i will give Hurl credit when he breaks out because i probably would have only drafted him if i actually owned the team

[Orgfiller]

He picked the other Victor Mesa Jr. The one that was picked earlier was Victor Victor Mesa.

[Jimcanuck]

Was picked like 40 spots ago.

 

You don't know the difference between Victor Victor and Victor Jr?

[jays4life19]

Oh right there are brothers

 

Yeah, he's 17 and no one really knew anything about him. The signing bonus of 1 million is a bit misleading because it was a package deal with his brother. No one really knew much about him at the time of his signing.

 

I was pretty shocked when Hurl said he wanted him with his last pick but even more shocked when i found out someone had already picked him.

 

Lots of better J2 guys still floating around

[jays4life19]

Ah, so he did not get picked. That makes much more sense.

[jays4life19]

Hurl wants Victor mesa JR.

Looks like his stock is trending up. I wouldn't pick him if we were drafting 500 prospects but at least he sounds similar to a lot of other high upside foreigners now.

 

Mesa Jr. signed with older brother Victor Victor Mesa this past off-season. There was significant fanfare surrounding both Cuban outfielders turning pro, with a well-publicized team-only workout leading up to the announcement that both Victor Victor ($5 million) and Victor Jr. ($1 million) had signed with Miami. Victor Victor has commanded much of the attention up to this point, though the younger 17-year-old Mesa Jr. is starting to generate his own buzz on the backfields of Florida Extended Spring Training.

 

Taller and rangier than his older brother, Mesa Jr. has a lean, athletic 5-foot-11 frame with room to add strength throughout. He hits from an upright stance, showing nice balance and natural leverage from the left side. Mesa Jr. has yet to grow into his man strength, and while he’s currently slow covering up in the zone against velocity, his batspeed should increase with physical gains. The ball came off his barrel with authority and tall lines across my three-game backfields look, hinting at some power potential from a stroke that projects to stay inside while still being able to drive pitches with authority. Mesa Jr. has improved his speed, now showing tick above-average times up the line and motoring around the field with an athletic gait. He looks the part defensively in CF, tracking balls behind him with fluid strides that cover solid ground in the outfield.

 

For a point of reference, Mesa Jr. is still young enough to be a junior in high school. He wouldn’t even have been eligible for this year’s draft if he were an American prospect. His age and proximity add risk, though inversely, those factors also provide ample upside as Mesa Jr. keeps growing into his body. He projects to stay in CF and provide value on defense, with enough hitting tools to dream on the offensive upside of a big league regular.

[jays4life19]

Anyways that wraps up Hurls draft. Sorry about that 3am f*** up this morning.

[Laika]

New rule for next draft btw - if someone makes an illegal selection, their clock ends and the draft moves on immediately. They can correct the pick whenever.

[Laika]

Looking to upgrade my last pick to one of the upcoming FULL FARM / useless picks that will just expire when they come up.

 

I'm offering literally nothing for the swap but I'll say thanks and I might remember the favor.
