A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

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.

 

Oh sorry, are you referring to the draft where I took Sonny Gray 23 picks after you took Byron Buxton?

Yes, that one.

 

By the way, our division now only has 4 teams over .500. Thanks a lot.

[Dr. Dinger]

Yes, that one.

 

kk just checkin

[KingKat]

This thread sure gets salty when no one is making picks.

What? You don't understand the dynamic between us. Dinger asked me how my day was and I said, "Going great! How about you?" And then he said "s*****, I just realized that I'm the only one in my Bored division that's under .500 and Sonny Gray is my ace." You're just reading the surface.

[TheHurl]

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

 

I'm team J.P. ... of course I'm alos the guy that declared Addy Russell as "arrived" after a 3 HR week. He probably hasn't had a hit since.

I thought I was the high man on Sonny Gray, and yet here you are implying he's better than Syndergaard. Colour me confused!

Yeah I did think it a bit strange that you said it, but I let it go. Really just semantics at the end of the day.

I find myself wishing I had one more pick... probably should have dropped that bum Blair (still had hopes his inexplicable control problems at the majors will iron themselves out).

[Laika]

Do you feel good about your Puig buy? His value has completely cratered. I've never been a big fan of Turner, so I don't think you paid too much, but man... Puig is a real ******* to own these days.

 

I feel pretty even about it. I needed something else on offense anyway and it made sense for my team and timeline - with Villar fully entrenched as a first division SS now and Reyes maybe coming back soon I could afford to trade the SS depth.

 

I shopped Turner and Manaea and other pieces aggressively for a big bat and Puig was basically as "big" as it got. It was Puig or JUpton - pick your poison. The price tags on Braun and Cespedes were higher and I got dead air on most other inquiries. I was motivated to do a trade before the cutdown, for obvious reasons. I think KK made the smart choice in not promoting Turner. Prospects need to force their way up in this league IMO.

 

Hopefully Yazl Pweeg can get healthy..

Never understood the Blair hype. He doesn't have great stuff and hasn't really struck anyone out since A+ ball. One of the most puzzling mainstays on recent top-100 lists.

[Spanky99]

To Spanky - deGrom and Rosenthal +53 and 3rd in 17'

 

To Havok - Schwarber and Demirrite +29

 

Havok to confirm

 

bump, can this be finalized, thanks.

 

Esit: Sorry, a bit of confusion on our part, No waiver pick a 3rd rd pick in 17'

 

Havok can confirm this.

Did you get my PM?

Also the most boring name for a pitcher since Gavin Floyd.

[Dr. Dinger]

[Dr. Dinger]

Yeah if you sneak into the playoffs that may indeed be a hassle.

 

I'm uncomfortable with them both ending up on your team when I was close on each.

 

Sorry, boo.

[BTS]

s***, I had forgotten that I traded Davis to Dinger earlier in the year. Pitching staff of True Cardinals.

[torontofan]

I'm going to take Carter Kieboom.

[Dr. Dinger]

Christin & Bader

[Dr. Dinger]

Just going into a movie, AFK for next two hours sry

[Laika]

Like most Cards prospects, Harrison Bader looks annoyingly good.

 

But like most Cards prospects these days, him grabbing a starting role at any point will be a bit of a crap shoot. Just so much competition in that organization to have to surpass.

 

Just ask Tommy Pham - 1.5 WAR in only 50 games last year, and this year he doesn't even get a chance. In almost every other organization he would have been anointed... as something in 2016.

I was in love with Bader but his k/BB ultimately turned me all the way off. Didn't help that he's been pretty s***** for a good while now.

So we're giving Dinger a B- on that pick, right?

[havok24]

Is it my pick now?

[havok24]

I'll take Willie Calhoun if he is available.

[Boxcar]

He'd probably prefer a big D

[Laika]

He'd probably prefer a big D

 

This gay joke is NJH approved

Pham's season has been so sad. Makes his first opening day roster, gets hurt after 1 PA in the season opener, gets buried in AAA.

[Dr. Dinger]

Vladdy Jr next for me plz

[Boxcar]

Taking Triston McKenzie

 

Dinger up for 2
