A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

Who has more 2014 upside - Zach McAllister, Bud Norris, Matt Harrison, or NL Jason Hammel?

 

Toss up for my 20th keep... pitching is hard to find midseason so I figure I'll keep an SP6. These guys all have some things to like (and more to dislike).

 

Keep lottery ticket Jon Villar, or keep 2 of those ^ arms?

 

Someone give me advice so I can do the opposite.

[Laika]

So... at what point can we start adding players to yahoo rosters for teams who have made cuts?

 

As soon as you want (all cuts are final bro)

[Abomination]

Someone give me advice so I can do the opposite.

 

Drop them all and go into the season short handed to prove how good you are.

[Laika]

Harrison.

 

That's who I have penciled in, but Norris misses more bats and I'm not sure if I'm being mislead by Harrison's ERA in 2012 and 2011. Two years doesn't make someone a DIPS beater.

[torontofan]

Not official, but potential roster cuts:

 

Justin Grimm, Henry Urrutia, Emilio Bonifasio, Aaron Loup, Dane De La Rosa, Antonio Bastardo, Cody Ross, Micheal Young, David Hernandez

Harrison.

 

Or am I giving you the opposite of the opposite of what I would do if I was trying to give you the opposite to sabotage your pick? Or am I just trying to confuse the s*** out of you?

[Laika]

Any idea why the "edit rosters" commish option is grayed out?

 

Probably because there are no rosters yet.

 

I'm assuming what we want to use is "submit offline draft results" or something like that?

[SpeedyGose]

I believe all recent cuts have been made on the spread.

 

Cuts made:

 

Dinger

No49

KingKat

Havok

Sammy

BTS

Boxy

TCA

FTD

 

Still have to make cuts (one week left):

 

Realmin

Hurl

GP

JF

Zeros

TOfan

silvergun

speedygose

spanky

jaysblue

fearless leader

 

Reminder that all cuts once posted anywhere are final, and the enforcement of this rule is doled out at my (and Dinger/BTS') discretion.

 

Only two managers currently has an excess prospect (Jays Fever and Silvergun, in case someone was looking to acquire a penny stock before the season starts).

 

We f***ed up somewhere because silvergun and speedygose both are listed with waiver pick #88, so some clarification there would be kewl.

 

Please check your rosters for any errors and discrepancies.

 

Administration note: if you have 6 waiver picks and you submit a cutdown roster of 20 names, then your 6th pick immediately vanishes into the ether. To use the extra pick, you would have to only keep 19 dudes.

 

I think our trade was #32 for Morneau and #88. So 88 should belong to Silvergun

[z3r0s]

I'll drop Mitch Moreland to finalize my cuts.

[KingKat]

Did Yahoo disable pre-rankings? If so I'm pissed. Yahoo seems determined to sacrifice functionality for esthetics lately. The new email sucks. The new My Yahoo no longer has Facebook integration (the one feature that made it worhwhile). After years of loyalty, I was just about the only person I knew that hadn't switched to Gmail but they've driven me to it over the past year. Drafting is going to be a pain in the ass withoug the ability to pre-rank once and export to all teams.

[Laika]

It looks the same to me?

 

Draft Central > Pre-Draft Player Rankings > Edit My Rankings

[z3r0s]

Are we going to be shifted back into our respective division on the Yahoo page now that all the teams are signed up? Or is that a shifting thing?

[z3r0s]

Divisions are constant. This is very important.

 

This is what I understood.

[KingKat]

It looks the same to me?

 

Draft Central > Pre-Draft Player Rankings > Edit My Rankings

 

OK. Cool. You used to be able to get there by simply clicking on your team where you'd see a countdown and a pre-rank option. I don't recall ever getting there through the Draft Central tab but as long as it's still there somewhere, it doesn't matter.

[The Cats Ass]

Just like that, Justin Upton gets traded for the 2nd time this offseason, without even getting to play a game for the WAR Puigs.

[The Cats Ass]

Deal went like this...

 

BTS Receives: Doug Fister

 

Silvergun Receives: Justin Upton + MLB Waiver #78

 

Cat's Ass Receives: Billy Hamilton + MiLB #12 + MLB Waiver #12 + MiLB #14 + Arismendy Alcantara + Kole Calhoun

[Boxcar]

BTS Receives: Doug Fister

Cat's Ass Receives: Billy Hamilton + MiLB #12 + MLB Waiver #12 + MiLB #14 + Arismendy Alcantara + Kole Calhoun

[TRM]

If anyone has a spare bat that figures to be more valuable than what's available via the waiver draft, I might be interested. Can be any position. Not looking for anything huge. Pieces in play would be picks, prospects (not Synder or Bogaerts), and Doubront/Buehrle of you want a back-end arm.

 

Howard/Salty/Grandal of interest?

[The Cats Ass]

Don't worry Boxy, your day will come, and you'll shine like the brightest star in the sky.

[The Cats Ass]

Boxy's just jelly when good players get traded.

 

Come on now. Be gentle. Boxy had a good player once...

[torontofan]

More trades tonight:

 

KingKat gets: Wilmer Flores + pick 37

Silvergun gets: M. Franco

 

KingKat gets: R. Odor + pick 13 + Middlebrooks

Torontofan gets: Ryan Zimmerman

Nice deals guys.

[Fearthedoc]

I really like what BTS gave up to get Fister. That combined with what he gave up for Lester. He's really built a solid staff this offseason.

[havok24]

lol I had a feeling it was BTS who traded for Fister.

[Fearthedoc]

I feel like I had BTS beat with both of my offers for Fister/Lester, but it's probably just me being biased towards my own prospects.

[jays_fever]

That was a pretty big Haul for Upton. Seems to be a lot more than Zero received

[Fearthedoc]

Care to share what you offered?

 

I have no problem with sharing but I should probably see if they're cool with it before posting what they turned down.

[Fearthedoc]

I'm not in love with either Upton deal but this one is pretty fair and easily better than what zeros got.

[z3r0s]

For Upton

 

Billy Hamilton + MiLB #12 + MLB Waiver #12 + Doug Fister

vs

Delino DeShields Jr, Rafael Montero, James Paxton, Sean Nolin, MiLB pick #22

 

I guess it depends on what how valuable you think the #12 picks are. Also depends on how much you value Fister as a fantasy asset. I like my return as I really like Montero.

[TheHurl]

much more than what he was getting from me...not to mention I've been responding about 5 days after our counteroffers so I'm sure it was frustrating for him. I think we were at Springer, Wood and the #5 waiver for Upton but I wanted a good waiver spot back.
