A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[The Cats Ass]

f*** you Josh Hamilton. He actually started the year off hitting great, and now it looks like he's gonna need thumb surgery. It's just like meeting a hot girl, and then finding out she's a lesbian.

Sliding headlong into first base...

 

Hamilton broke his shoulder/arm a few years ago sliding headfirst into home too.

 

Smart guy, divine Josh.

Nothing dumb about relying on divine intervention as a disciple of Christ.

He's full of bad habits. Sliding head first, caffeine, booze, crack, religion. I'm not sure which is the worst.

[Fearthedoc]

In selfish news, I dodged a bullet too, was interested in trading for him..that would have been like bringing home a hot "girl," but then...

 

I dodged one too. I was really high on Hamilton this year, but somehow failed to land him in all 5 of my fantasy leagues.

Hi, me. My situation exactly.

[The Cats Ass]

Andrus still available for a SP.

 

I have a Chinese guy that may interest you...

[Dr. Dinger]

Andrus still available for a SP.

 

Would someone like Matt Cain interest you?

[Dr. Dinger]

Ok, let me rustle up 6 other interested parties to even this out. What would you add to Andrus in order to get ROY Matt Davidson as well?

[The Cats Ass]

lol

 

But really, have a look at my starters and let me know which ones interest you?

[Boxcar]

Silvergun and Jaysfever trade:

Silvergun gets:

Austin Jackson

MiLB #15, #31

 

Jaysfever gets:

Maikel Franco

Blake Swihart

 

Gotta say, really prefer Silvergun's side of that one, but Franco is a good piece coming back. As a rule, I temper my expectations for all Phillies hitting prospects.

I really like the other side of it. I think that's an outstanding return for Jackson and some picks.

[Fearthedoc]

It's a pretty even trade. I don't like Jackson that much but it's hard to pass up on him at that value. The added picks swing my preference toward silvergun's side for me.

TCA is notorious for hilarious drunk drafting/negotiating.

Lol.

[Laika]

Strasvurg for Hitler? That's a bit lopsided....

[TheHurl]

last week had a 4.00 K/BB against me...thought that was bad until I came up against the 5.0 so far this week. Why do you all hate me?

 

 

Rhetorical question please don't answer...my ego is fragile

[TheHurl]

Anyone willing to move an OF for a catcher currently OPS'ing 1.500?

[GD]

Guys, quick question: Farm A or Farm B?

 

Farm A:

Urias, Harvey, Meadows, Giolito, Manaea, Stanek, Cooney

 

Farm B:

Buxton, Sano, Taveras, Meyer, A. Sanchez, Alfaro, Shipley, Tapia, Reyes, Matz, Lindsey

[Laika]

B B B B B B B

 

not even close

I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on Meso but I hate investing in catchers and I'd have to move some parts around first. Hmm.

[GD]

You forgot Crick on Farm B lol

 

oops lol

[GD]

Randy and King kid.

 

King probably does but I can never actually tell with Randy

[Fearthedoc]

Guys, quick question: Farm A or Farm B?

 

Farm A:

Urias, Harvey, Meadows, Giolito, Manaea, Stanek, Cooney

 

Farm B:

Buxton, Taveras

 

Farm B is still more valuable.

[GD]

I'm serious. Side A will have the #1-#6 prospects in all of baseball next year.

 

ok Randy thx

Farm B:

I think if you take away Farm B's big 3...it's close

[TheHurl]

Cooney is a number 4...only things going for him is that he's a lefty and a Cardinal.

Stanek has hip issues and needs some mechanical tweaks. Those two things don't go well together. If healthy I'll give him a chance at being one of the top 15 pitchers in the minors by season's end.

Manaea...take Stanek's hip issues and multiply them by 100. At least he had a tear and several guys have had solid recoveries from that. I see him as a guy that will be limited in his innings and his lack of secondary stuff will give him that "might be a bullpen guy" Stigma. If the guy that dominated the Cape returns...maybe he'll be in the equation again. I don't see it. I love future closers as prospects in fantasy though.

Giolito - Probably the best fastball in the minors and it plays in the majors guaranteed...again injury problems. I purposely avoided him in all formats.

Meadows - probably a better fantasy prospect than a real life prospect. Jay Bruce is the comp...but he runs way better. Probably a LF'er in the majors. K's will need to come down though as he's striking out 22% of the time while facing almost all fastballs.

Harvey - really like Harvey...but he's a 19 year old pitcher

Urias - Reallllllly like Urias but he's a 17 year old pitcher

 

 

I've played pools for a lot of years. And I've never ever seen anyone have long term success banking 100% on young pitchers. I'd say that 1 of the six become top of the rotation guys. But you can probably get a s*** load for them in a trade by the end of this year.

Some glowing reports re: Manaea coming out of BP already this season

[Dr. Dinger]

Oy, my pitching this week. I guess that's what I get for starting De la Rosa.
