A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

If you could all stop s*** talking my next trade chip, that would be great

There are just SO many miles on that elbow. He's a 29 year old with the mileage of a 34 year old.

 

2K innings on the arm, arm troubles starting to creep up, and his fastball was hit harder than ever last year. I hope he's still dominant, because I love watching him, but there are some serious red flags now.

[Dr. Dinger]

I'd also agree with all of these except I think Cueto will be much better than Rodon unless he gets his command together. Guy like him can really tank your K/bb on his bad days.

 

He's a wildcard, for sure. The only thing I'm really banking on him for is about 180 punchouts, barring injury. The BB rate is probably never going to be great, but he did cut it substantially in the 2nd half (1st half 5.5 BB, 2nd half 3.7 BB). I pointed this out before, but it's easy to forget: Clayton Kershaw walked 4.5 BB/9 over his first two seasons. I trust Rodon's two plus-plus pitches, and hopefully in time he gets the control in check.

[Dr. Dinger]

Rodon's rookie season actually compares favourably to Kershaw's across the board, although I think long-term he's more of a Liriano type.

Sure but Kershaw would be an exception, not a rule. Most guys who have s***** command remain s***** though there's certainly tantalizing TOR potential in the event it happens. Randy Johnson didn't get his s*** together until he was what, 28?

I think in the long-run his BB/9 will settle in around 3.5-3.8, since he doesn't have a long track record of having super s***** command. I think the 1st half was more a matter of debut jitters and not trusting his stuff enough against MLB hitters.

I think you're gonna be right.

[Boxcar]

Liriano would be a decent outcome.

I love Liriano, such an underrated fantasy pitcher IMO. Just racks up those Ks. If I had to pick one of Liriano or Quintana (for example, just because I think he gets way more love) for 2016, I would take Frankie hands down.

[BTS]

Last three years:

 

Quintana = 519 Ks, 3.41 K/BB

Liriano = 543 Ks, 2.54 K/BB

ERA/xFIP over the last two seasons is virtually identical, Liriano has the edge in K/9 and GB rate. Quintana has put up more IP, which is great. If Liriano hadn't missed 50 IP in 2014, the Ks wouldn't be close. They're very comparable in a redraft, as a dynasty asset no question Quintana is better. My point is that Quintana is a post-sleeper mancrush while Liriano is yesterday's news, despite the fact that Liriano is equally productive.

I'd probably give a slight edge to Liriano in a re-draft, but he feels a lot riskier than Quintana.

Oh probably. For whatever reason I just can't get excited for Quintana, he just feels like he's been more than the sum of his parts. But that's partly my pedigree bias at work, I have a deep-seeded mistrust for pitchers who I haven't heard of and then suddenly become really good.

Out of curiosity, can someone post Silvergun's roster? Is it that good?

[Sammy225]

lol, no

 

Thats ok we will put you on suicide watch WHEN i finish higher then you this year.

We both know that this isn't going to happen.

The four of us can't even begin to consider wining the MC for the foreseeable future.

he could seriously have 4 people on DL and still walk away with it.
