A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[TheHurl]

When prospects become Dinger guys I feel like I have to hate them. I guess I saved Greg Bird from this cruel fate.

 

Way to back the least talented one.

[Boxcar]

You sure hated Lindor. You poo-pooed Seager. I'm not sure who else we've really disagreed on. I was the only one backing Bird when you acquired him and the rest of the league called you a fool.

 

Buxton, Almora

Seems to me like you wouldn't recognize talent if it smacked you in the ass.

[Dr. Dinger]

Buxton, Almora

 

Buxton? I owned Buxton years before you. If I call him a bust, it's just to get under your skin. I like his talent and a BJ Upton career arc is still in play. I hope you realize by now that my entire Almora campaign was facetious trolling. He's ok as a depth piece in a 30 team league where he can be a Pillar-like contributor, but I would never own him in a 20 team league.

I have slapped Hurl's ass and I can verify that he did notice.

You were willing to bet money on a troll?

The bet was career WAR between Almora and Winker. That's a valid wager on Almora's defense alone. I'd still make that bet because Winker is completely useless defensively and has a lot less power than you hoped. I'm not sure when you last checked, but Almora turned in a solid rookie campaign with about 1 WAR and a 101 wRC+ in 1/3 of a season. He has 50 power and maybe a 55 bat, the only thing he doesn't do is walk.

How do you know Winker is bad defensively? BP tell you that?

 

Aside from the fact that scouts are terrible at grading defense, Winker's power has evaporated ever since he hurt his wrist in a car wreck. Not really his fault.

Scouts told me his power was average to begin with.

Last I checked, average power guys don't have ISOs comparable to Juan Pierre.

My Lindor writeup should have got everyone backing that horse from that game in Lake County where I filmed his batting practice. I believe I said something like "he's not just a glove first guy". I believe Crawford got the same glowing rating from me. In the end I only truly show my cards when the player poses for a picture with me.

[Laika]

I owned Buxton down the stretch in a casual league and he reallllly turned it around. Was quite good.

[Dr. Dinger]

Correct. His typical .150 ISO is average, the recent drop-off is even more concerning.

Is It to early to say Hunter Renfroe is a top 20 fantasy guy lol

I was just clearing out my messages and saw the number of times I turned down deals for Turner...and the number of times I turned down Meso for anything. I don't know why I hate dealing with you, the offers looking back all would have ended up in my favour...or at least neutral. This is why I'll always be middle of the pack...until I'm bottom of the pack again.

[Spanky99]

We all need to deal with NJH more, thoroughly enjoyed my last transaction, a+++.

 

Also, ready to concede Bruce v. Dickerson? The board's coffers eagerly await!

 

Bruce has been a boss for me, did you trade for him with Dickerson?

Have some sympathy

Every major trade I've made in the last calendar year has been an unmitigated disaster.

 

I refuse to tap the breaks though. Come at me this offseason, everybody!

Does that include Trea for Glasow? Or is that outside the time-frame?

That was a roaring success.

 

When I say *every* I just mean every trade that keeps me up at night like Puig, Brantley, Dickerson

[Dr. Dinger]

Cano?

[Laika]

Cano?

 

No, we are just trading seasons at this point. I'm looking forward to Davis destroying Cano in 2017.

I got too greedy on this one. Then you brought Fernandez into the negotiations.

 

Meso + Strick + Miley

 

for

 

Iglesias + Billy McKinney + pick 57?

 

Trea Turner instead of McKinney and I don't care about 57

 

 

 

Can't deal Turner here. He's my golden goose.

I really want to build around Fernandez and Synder. I bought low on Finnegan and Bradley and hoped one of them would jump up along with Urias. I've made quite a few offers to upgrade to add a 3rd star pitcher and just have a really s*** offense but no one is biting. You have the talent to make it happen but I am not sure you want to move to much off the main team. I like guys on your farm but I want something that I love. The guys I like on your farm are Manaea, Kopech, Adames &Turner. Pieces that I think you'd move that I like from your main squad are Chris Davis and Iglesias.

---End Quote---

Chris Davis + Raisel Iglesias + Sean Manaea + Willy Adames + Michael Kopech

for

Jose Fernandez + Devin Mesoraco + Hunter Strickland

---End Quote---

Meso may belong to Boxy. I have to be prepared that he accept my deal

---End Quote---

Lemme know if he rejects. Even if he gets Meso we can adjust.

 

Or you could just do this and say you snooze you lose...

---End Quote---

Sorry to be a pain. I can't go back to multiple average pieces. If I'm trading Fernandez it's to get a a top SS (Machado). If not I'll stick with the plan. I can just drop all my shortstops, and OF's and pick them back up in the waiver draft

---End Quote---

So Turner being involved doesn't move the needle at all?

---End Quote---

Nah. Votto might

[Laika]

I offered Trea Turner to almost every single person in the DDL

I remember telling you to hold on to him.

Dickerson 4 Scherzer.

 

I hope Fat Dan pans out, he's all I've got to show from that Bruce deal.

 

I think Fatty will hit plenty of bombs. Same bat as Bruce?
