I can't decide if I'd rather face you or Sil in the first round of the playoffs.

 

I would rather face Silvio. Nick's team is more balanced, with lethal pitching and Chris Davis is going berserk lately. Meanwhile, Freddie Freeman has been banged up and Tulo and Arenado are slumping. THB seems more beatable at this moment in time.

Hate to get Boxy started, but Winker has homered in 5 straight games.

 

Just had to break up the boring playoff matchup talk.

I hope Boxy is right and Winker is a stud, I just don't see it happening myself. Even with that HR binge, his ISO is only .158. He's a 15-20 HR LF with a solid OBP and his hit tool probably plays down a tick in the majors. The ceiling is no different than what I said a year ago, something like Markakis without the plus defence.

Prime Markakis was a pretty solid fantasy asset. If Boxy gets 5-6 years of that production Winker was worth the hype.

Markakis only had one really monster year, other than that he was never a guy that was going to carry you to a championship in a 20 team league. The problem for Winker is that his defense is so poor that he'll have to hit right out of the gate and keep doing it, or he won't play.

You are correct that he's not going to carry a team, but listening to minor league defensive reports again is a mistake. He's a left fielder and always will be, but I'm reading that he's an all out effort guy out there and should be passable. His K-rates are way down and his power wows everyone in BP. He's white Melky with more power potential.

Winker is aight but he's no Billy McKinney. I wonder how badly Boxy wants to get his stubby hands on Billy

McKinney was the headliner for Shields? rry?

Shields for McKinney, Chance Cisco, Rookie Davis, and Jeff Locke. The BBDL is pretty awful.

McKinney, Sisco*, and Davis all have appeal but none of them are top 50 prospects so moving Petco James for them is pretty weak.

 

That person's farm is now clogged with B prospects

 

Anybody could have traded for a pick in the 6th round and used it to draft Davis... probably.

AG is the guy who gave up Urias and flipped for McKinney.

 

I dunno, I mentioned better prospects but got shut down.

This is what I was alluding too yesterday.

 

Just a few months ago, Urias was flipped for Shields.

 

There's just a higher likelihood of ripping someone off completely in the BBDL. You should have just said that people in that league are dumn so you lowball everyone because there's a decent chance it works.

I wish I knew Shields was available for that take.

Lol, boxy manages to rip off another owner for a pitcher. All this Winker talk reminded me he was the centerpiece for Scherzer, **sigh**

Jayson Werth (WAS - OF)

Max Scherzer (WAS - SP)

Fine, the Scherzer trade wasn't bad. The point is just..... f*** boxy! f*** him.

Boxy took him in the 3rd round.

 

Oh. Probably just because I took him in the DDL and Boxy doesn't have many original thoughts

Almost all his homers have come in the second half, though. The AA adjustment just took longer than expected.

The guy you're referring to is spanking everyone in LOD. He gave me a list of guys he wanted and asked for three. I obliged. Shields is nice and all but he's not an ace, nor is he young.

I would never trade Jesse Winker.

I try my best to copy you in any way I can.
