TRM Verified Member Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I wonder if you're better off going into the playoffs with a stacked set of bats (or arms) and an average at best counterpart a la NJH/jaysblue/North or an above average set of both (like what I'm dealing with). Of course, the ideal is being Silvergun or Dinger, but we can't all be so lucky.

You can always stream Guthries and Vogelsongs and try to win K's and Wins, but you can't really stream for anything on offense.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Who's your 3B for next year? Longo. Possibly Chase Headley.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Longo. Possibly Chase Headley. He can be your's for the right price.
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I love watching a Carrasco implosion knowing the Howies own him in everything.
King Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) I love watching a Carrasco implosion knowing the Howies own him in everything. PL - Frag LoD - NJH BBDL - Spittin DDL - (not sure but I don't think its North) Your dumn Edit: I have been told North owns Carrasco in the DDL. Im dumn. Edited July 7, 2015 by King
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I love watching a Carrasco implosion because I don't own him in any leagues. Yeah, me too.
torontofan Verified Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I'm looking to add an OF. Looking for a deal with Aoki + draft pick, but open to any type of deals.
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I'm looking to add an OF. Looking for a deal with Aoki + draft pick, but open to any type of deals. It will be interesting to see if this works for you. People keep trying this framework in the LOD (player + pick/prospect for upgrade) and nobody bites. I can't remember the last time we saw a deal like that in the DDL.
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 Wow, does Starlin Castro ever suck. If I could thank this more than once, it would be a long clicky night.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Wow, does Starlin Castro ever suck. He's carrying my offense in Arencibia Classic.
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 He's carrying my offense in Arencibia Classic. Very wise pick. Cain and Shelby Miller's breakouts are killing me in that.

People keep trying this framework in the LOD (player + pick/prospect for upgrade) and nobody bites. I can't remember the last time we saw a deal like that in the DDL. I am really just looking to add an OF by any means, but would prefer a deal like Aoki + pick for similar player
TheHurl Site Manager Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 With Ozuna's puzzling demotion, I'm running without a CF and have Collabello and Paulsen as my starting OF.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I think Adames, Anderson and Robertson are all-bat, no-glove. Adames made some fantastic plays in the game I went to this year. I'm betting his "he'll outgrow SS" tag has his defensive reviews staying negative. Zero chance you would have thought Crawford was the can't miss SS prospect, on that one game sample size. BP list was absolutely awful.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 So Jesse Winker has been on fire, wRC+ up to 118. Thought his bat was too slow for advanced pitching?
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Nate Karns is going to (name redacted) within 24 hrs unless some of y'all want to throw your hat in the ring.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/fantasy-stash-candidate-rob-refsnyder/ For Queen B Refsnyder hits for average, possesses excellent plate discipline, and has the potential to produce double-digit homers and steals. He is not currently on the 40-man, but the Yanks conveniently have an open spot, with just 39 players. I can’t imagine it’ll take the Yankees too much longer to pull the plug on the thoroughly washed-up Drew, especially since they’re tied for the lead in the AL East. Refsnyder certainly seems ready, and it sure wouldn’t take much for him to outperform Drew. Fantasy owners in AL-only leagues are advised to go ahead and stash him now, if at all possible.[/Quote] fapfapfap
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 So Jesse Winker has been on fire, wRC+ up to 118. Thought his bat was too slow for advanced pitching? Where's the power though? He's got a .255 AVG and .123 ISO in AA through 92 games. That wRC+ is largely built on his impressive walk rate, but he won't be able to maintain that walk rate in the majors unless he's going to hit, and hit for power. You're talking about a strictly LF defensive profile, so unless the power comes around he's just another Robbie Grossman.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 God DAMN you Cliff Lee... Lucas Giolito is FIPing 1.68 and should be in AA any week now.

Probably 20 ish HR pop as a finished product, I view him as more of a Shin Soo Choo.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I agree, 2015 Choo is his ceiling.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I agree, 2015 Choo is his ceiling. fuk u breh
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 God DAMN you Cliff Lee... Lucas Giolito is FIPing 1.68 and should be in AA any week now. shouldn't you be damning Big Game James?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Maybe Nick Swisher with less power and defence? Swish was a good switch hitter, I suspect Winker will be totally hapless against major league lefties.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 shouldn't you be damning Big Game James? If I still had Shields, I'd be much more okay with Gio's ascension. Shields is still good. Cliff Lee is a dead body.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 If I still had Shields, I'd be much more okay with Gio's ascension. Shields is still good. Cliff Lee is a dead body. Where is Cliff Lee now? Fun Fact: After trading for Shields from you I then moved him for a package of prospects which included Alex Reyes, who is #10 on the BA list and the note attached says... "Reyes’ fastball/curveball combo isn’t far off Giolito’s"
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 North, if someone acknowledges you made a good pick in Arcia will you consider stfu about him? Well done! Kinda reminds me of Maicer Izturis.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Arcia is a fantasy non-factor. Yawn.
