A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

I get the feeling that I think more of J.P. Crawford than most people here.

 

Silvergun is just rattled cuz now I have a better BP than him.

[Dr. Dinger]

And boxy is a well-known statscout who drafted Billy McKinney ahead of Crawford.

[GeorgiaPeach]

Teams use more than one catcher over the course of a season. You not being aware of this goes a long way towards explaining why you have never made the playoffs in any league.

 

That could be it. I always thought Thole and Martin were the same person with different jerseys on.

 

I'm glad you let me know.

He should have offered me more than Moya for Betances then

Can Moya catch?

[Dr. Dinger]

Moya can't do anything. He shouldn't even be owned in this league.

I like him.... I think i made the right choice keeping Lindor but i think he will produce just as well.

[GeorgiaPeach]

Moya can't do anything. He shouldn't even be owned in this league.

 

But the question is, if Moya had someone help him put on the catching gear. Do you think he could catch?

 

Ausmus could give him some pointers. And being 6'7" might be a problem, but he could talk to Joe Mauer and see how he did it.

 

Win, win for everyone.

[Dr. Dinger]

Boxy repeatedly scoffed at Lindor, and who's laughing now?

 

Exactly 162 career games: 19 HR, 22 SB, 90 R, 84 RBI, .311/.357/.471.

 

That's a fantasy star. Turns out the scouts know what they're doing.

He was only supposed to be a slap hitter.

My condolences. Though I never really understood why anyone liked Lindor in a fantasy setting at all.

 

Above average hit tool and speed, advanced for age, walks at a decent clip. He could be a leadoff hitter and will never move off SS. Obviously there won't be much power, but it's also not a total slap hitter. He could be Andrus with a slightly better stick and less speed. Maybe something like .275/.350/.390 with 25 steals and 80-90 runs.

 

Bump for me being right.

I love my Lindor... and Crawford too.

[KingKat]

Yes please continue pumping Crawford's tire (and then trade for him in LOD).

[Dr. Dinger]

Crawford will walk a lot, which is great for this OBP format. I don't know if he has 20 SB upside like Lindor, but otherwise I think they're pretty similar hitters. Both guys are guaranteed shortstops who should hit .270+ with strong OBPs, 10+ HR & SB, and 80-100 runs because they'll hit at the top of the order.

[TRM]

available in BORED too

[Dr. Dinger]

Since we're talking about the SS Revolution, I just want to put my stake in the ground and say Corey Seager > Xander Bogaerts going forward.

Don't know what to make of Xander anymore. Had a pretty suspect looking season last year but he's following that up what appears to be some pretty serious hype confirmation.

I think thats realistic.... More power and Bogaerts average is not going to stay up there for ever sooner or later it will come down to the .300 mark

[Dr. Dinger]

Even good hitters can't sustain .400 BABIPs. Xander is like a 70/50 (hit/pwr) dude while Seager is a 60/60 guy. They're both great, I just prefer the power.

[Dr. Dinger]

It's also worth pointing out that Seager's career wOBA is like 50 points higher.

Are you on acid?

I don't really understand what's going on here.

Yeah? The same ones who said he'd be a defense first slap hitter?

[GeorgiaPeach]

Are you on acid?

 

Nope. I just love to see doors opening for players to make the majors and play.

 

It makes me feel good that Zagunis Ilgauskas could possibly suit up as the backstop for the Cubbies

[Dr. Dinger]

No one said that except you. The scouts saw an advanced approach and realized that a league-average bat from an underaged SS was actually really good.

[King]

Lindor is projected for a 70ish wRC+. He's basically Ryan Goins with a slightly better HIT TEWL, and less of a track record against ADVUNSED PEETCHIN

[Boxcar]

So "slap hitter" and "there's obviously not going to be much power" are incongruous. Gotcha.

 

As for the clash I'm actually interested in, I also think Gibbers took a hit of acid.

[Boxcar]

Ryan Goins with a slightly better HIT TEWL

 

Remember that time Dingding took Sonny Gray like 15 rounds early and mocked me for saying that he sucks? It's almost as if guys who don't actually work in a baseball related capacity can be wrong.
