Fun fact: when you traded for him he had a 211 wRC+. Since you traded for him, he has a 66 wRC+.

That doesn't sound fun for me

 

Though I remember him going into a historical slump the moment I got him

 

And if I recall, Dinger grabbed Mize.

 

So, Villanueva sucks, Strickland broke his hand punching a wall and Kela is about to get traded and become a decent holds guy.

 

I love fantasy baseball

[Dr. Dinger]

Quick question, someone is offering me Mookie Betts for Vlad Jr in another league. Should I do it?!

 

Probably yes unless your team is super s***** and won’t compete for 3-5 years, and then maybe yes.

[Dr. Dinger]

My comp for Mize is white, righty David Price.

Not a bad comp, actually.

Current Price or Rays Price?

[Dr. Dinger]

Playoff Price

O.K. So I definitely want out and I think it would be better for the new owner to have a shot at the trade deadline. I'll manage the roster until then but some important decisions need to be made and they should be made by someone else.

 

My preference would be for Wok to get a shot at the team. I realize that I'm quitting and shouldn't really have a say in this but conversely, he's a popular poster and fantasy player so it seems like it would work for the board too. I have no idea what his level of interest is. Otherwise, I know that we had a vote when P2F came in and there were some excellent candidates on the ballot. I really don't think this should be hard to deal with.

 

I really wanted to leave a good team behind and tried to make myself competitive over the last few years but in trying to do so I may have made some bad decisions that someone who is more invested long term might not and that cycle of trying too hard to make something out of nothing and falling short will probably continue as long as I'm the owner. There's a lot of parity in this league and it's really hard to burst out from the mid-tier and trying to force the issue just hasn't worked and will probably will never happen until you get an owner who cares more about baseball than I do and is less mistake prone than I am. I've been wanting to leave for years and the fact is there's never going to be a perfect time but this is at the very least, a decent time. The team isn't scorched earth. At least I'm leaving behind some stuff to work with. I just don't think I can do any better than I have so far and if I stay, it's very likely i'll just make it worse so let's just get this over with now if we can.

[Laika]

Okay, that's understandable. Thanks for being such a good league member for so long. We'll try to get a replacement set up as soon as we can.

Hey Dinger, Acuna has a 120 wRC+ and is on track for 15-20 homers in ~ 450 PA in the majors. He’s also 20.

[Dr. Dinger]

Congrats on your Carlos Gomez with more Ks and less SB.

He's 20 and performing at a level Gomez reached twice in a 12-year career. You're so dumb.

[Dr. Dinger]

You're so rattled and I barely had to lift a finger

[Boxcar]

I'm extra confused because it isn't like BP ranked him low or anything. They had him at 31 prior to 2017 and 11 by midseason and he went up from there.

 

I mean, I know KATOH was onto him early so maybe that's where it comes from? Not sure.

 

Tldr you might be expecting too much from a guy who wouldn't trade Vlad Jr. for Mookie Betts.

I make a passing troll attempt and BTS launches into a full-blow existential crisis. Wasn't really my intention but I will roll with it.

.babip luck involved?

[Dr. Dinger]

.babip luck involved?

 

.362 BABIP + 29.5 K% + .275 AVG + 12.2% SwStr = .245/.305/.450 line after regression

 

BTS please stop wasting your time on this scrub and start throwing Juan Soto in my face like you really ought to.

I'm far too gentlemanly for gauche behaviour like that.

Ronald Acuna o/u Justin Upton's career stats?

I can't wait until Brendan Rodgers becomes the Rockies' 1b

[BTS]

Ronald Acuna o/u Justin Upton's career stats?

 

That's actually a pretty good comp across the board.

[Dr. Dinger]

Ronald Acuna o/u Justin Upton's career stats?

 

Spot on comp.

[Dr. Dinger]

I can't wait until Brendan Rodgers becomes the Rockies' 1b

 

Pretty sure he'll get traded to the Mets for DeGrom inexplicably and then become a replacement level 3B.
