A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

Taijuan On!- Carson Fulmer, SP (CHW)

The Bryce Is Right- Brett Phillips. OF (HOU)

ISO Horny- Ian Happ, OF (CHC)

 

The three picks before mine completely wiped my draft board in reverse order.

[Dr. Dinger]

I had Reynaldo like top 3. Too bad I did my rankings AFTER I traded down three spots for an extra pick and put myself behind North....

 

My initial Top 3 was Moncada, De Leon, and Lopez. I put Rodgers in the same tier as the two pitchers once he got drafted by the Rockies.

[z3r0s]

not that I had heard of this guy, but where are the K's for a guy with that big an arm at such a low level?

[Dr. Dinger]

I think North hit a home run here. He's Yordano with a better build, a better team, and a better park.

Stat scouty sense not tingling.

He's got an 80 fastball, the Ks will come. He's never going to be an elite K guy, but he can be a beast nonetheless.

My thoughts exactly. Must have gotten a good grade from BP. Great makeup, signed an autograph that one time.

Name one major success story from your stat-scouting prowess.

Reynaldo made the major lists; this isn't some random guy I dug up who got a good eyewitness grade once lol.

 

He throws 100 with regularity, has two useful breaking balls and a repeatable delivery. I'll bet on that package every time, and the stats aren't even bad.

[TRM]

So NJH, then who?, then me?

NJH - Gibbers - Min - Silvergun - Me

I'm really not here to poop on the guy. But wasn't Yordano King 11+ per nine at the same age and same level?

This is exactly the sort of guy you catch just before he blows up all over prospect lists. He's tracking to be Top 50 on every list by end of season, and you have another excellent trade chip. This is exactly what happened when I snagged Yordano late in the initial draft, and now he's a coveted young arm already in the majors.

Stat scouting my first pick and taking STEPHEN GONSALVES, assuming he isn't already owned.

 

Can't msg next guy

Not really. Look at Yordano's first taste of AA in 2012.

Jesse Winker

Matt Olson

Jose Berrios

[Dr. Dinger]

And if Reynoldo ends up in the pen he'll be a f***ing monster reliever.

[Dr. Dinger]

Jesse Winker

Matt Olson

Jose Berrios

 

None of those guys have even debuted. Cool success stories. Also, Berrios doesn't count, he's been on prospect lists long before you had him.

He looks pretty nice

[z3r0s]

After 80ish innings at the level this guy is at... K'ing 11+... like I said.

[Laika]

Reynaldo could be Yordano, or he could be Martin Perez. Who knows

Nice pick. He was on my list

[Boxcar]

That why I got him in the 5th round? None of my guys have debuted yet because I stat scouted them really young. The second draft I was a moron and took all recent draftees, which was a mistake, but also not stat scouted.

 

chill out guy

[Boxcar]

Anyone want Spencer Adams or Amed Rosario for a pick?

[Boxcar]

Why didn't you stat-scout your last pick? I can understand grabbing recent draftees at the very top, but you could have gone in any direction with your last pick (Cornelius Randolph is fine but not too good to pass up or anything).

 

Yeah you're right. I probably would have looked further but I liked the sound of Randolph better than my stat scout targets and felt the risk is probably similar.

 

E: Actually I take that back and am now filled with regret. Someone trade me a pick for a prospect + something.

[TRM]

I'm between two guys right now and I'm kind of hoping Gibbers picks one to make my life easier. Although I find that possibility very unlikely.

Is one of them 16?

[SpeedyGose]

Not really. Look at Yordano's first taste of AA in 2012.

 

The results are way different IMO. Yordano had a downtick for 29 IP but before that he was 10+ K/9 for his minor league career with similar walk totals to Lopez. Lopez has yet to post anything over 8 K/9 (aside from one 4IP spurt)

How the f*** is Dan Haren?
