A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Spanky99]

All I know is he looks exactly like Adrian Gonzalez.

 

lol... similar.

[TheHurl]

jaysblue hosting next year's GM winter meetings?

 

He already did that for FC.

[Spanky99]

Wat???

[Dr. Dinger]

Adam Duvall has a better ISO than Arenado, EE, Machado, Donaldson, and everybody else but David Ortiz. We all saw that coming, right?

Que (Panhandle): Do you think Jaime Schultz can continue his command growth sufficiently to be an above average rotation piece in an Aaron Sanchez-lite kind of way? Thanks for the chat!

Bret Sayre: I don't see it. I think he's a back-end guy at best

 

flashtheleather (HELLLOOO BRET WITH ONE T): Josh Ockimey is beasting in A ball. What do you make of this?

Bret Sayre: Not getting too excited at this point. Fine to speculate, but talk to me when he's in Double-A.

 

Donny (The Block): Of these OF's: Acuna, Cozens, Christin Stewart and Bader. How would you rank them in terms of future fantasy impact? Thanks.

Bret Sayre: I'd go Acuna, Stewart, Cozens, Bader. That said, I fully expect the Cardinals to make me look stupid.

 

Ronald (Acuna): Who is this years Victor Robles?

Bret Sayre: Uhh. you?

 

Jimmy (Baltimore): Tyler O Neil is raking. Can he be a future OF1?

Bret Sayre: Nope.

 

Brad (NJ): What do you think of Tyler O'neill and where do you think he ranks in next year's ranking?

Bret Sayre: I'd be pretty surprised if he ended up in the top-50. It's not a profile I particularly like and it's a bad situation for him.

 

Max (TX): In your opinion, what's the gap from Benintendi to a guy like Manuel Margot?

Bret Sayre: He's a tier down. Margot more steals, but less average and power.

 

David (Atlantis): What should we think about the performance of Cody Reed so far this season? (I refer to the Arizona one) Is his performance something we should be paying attention to as legitimate or is it more smoke & mirrors?

Bret Sayre: Worth paying attention to, but don't translate that into TORP potential.

Adam Duvall has a better ISO than Arenado, EE, Machado, Donaldson, and everybody else but David Ortiz. We all saw that coming, right?

 

He has also dabbled at 1B and 3B this year and in the minors so there is an off chance of him picking up flexibility.

 

And IRL he has a good UZR to boot.

 

It really shouldn't be THAT surprising that he is doing well. He had huge ISOs in the minors and his K rates were actually pretty good for a power hitter (20%). He wasn't like Steven Moya, with no walks and 30% k rate.

[Dr. Dinger]

Him picking up 3B would be great since David Wright literally died. Er, figuratively literally, that is.

[Dr. Dinger]

You MUST own him in another league to paint such a flattering assessment.

 

Edit: Yep, PL.

[BTS]

Wow, Sayre loves Ronald Acuna.

I wonder why people actually care about his opinion? Imagine if he was in a dynasty league? Dont talk to me til I see results in AA bro

[BTS]

What's not to like in O'Neill's profile? Competent OF defender, low-20s K rate, decent speed, monster power, and decent hit tool.

[TRM]

I wonder how Sayre would do in one of our leagues

maybe he hates Canadians

Improved his K rate and BB rate drastically as well, while moving up a level and being one of the youngest players at that level...

[BTS]

Who is James Fisher?

 

"Austin Meadows has done a good job since being drafted in 2013 but the strikeouts are troubling. As long as the power continues to come he will has a chance to be an everyday regular."(James Fisher)

 

This was posted two weeks ago. Meadows had a 14% K-rate in A+ last year and is at around 17% in AA. Steamer projects his K-rate in MLB right now at 18.5%. We're really supposed to believe that strikeouts are a big red flag for Meadows? Did this guy even know who Meadows was when he answered the question?

 

I get the feeling that BP's staff actually have very little idea about what they're talking about.

K rate is 23% this year but was over 30% last couple of years. It's Safeco + corner profile + high K's + probably low/normal BB rate. And the f***ing Mariners.

 

Keep it mind that BRET SAYRE is mostly giving advice for 12 team leagues too. If a prospect isn't a slam dunk 60 OFP / arguable 70 OFP then they aren't even worth considering. That's why the AA comment also makes sense.

[Dr. Dinger]

Wow, Sayre loves Ronald Acuna.

 

I've seen "the next Robles" on Acuna several times at BP, he's just parroting the house sentiment.

Do people even do 12 team dynasties? Lol

[TheHurl]

Wow, Sayre loves Ronald Acuna.

 

or he knows Robles suxx

[TRM]

or he knows Robles suxx

 

look at this guy. this guys fancies himself some sort of jokester

[Laika]

Do people even do 12 team dynasties? Lol

 

I dunno! The line between a dynasty league and a keeper league is probably pretty fuzzy

[BTS]

219 wRC+ in AAA for Zagunis after putting up a 153 mark in AA. He's like Jesse Winker, but actually good.

4 HR in 250 PA lol

 

playing almost exclusively LF lol

 

I should trade Max Scherzer for him+ a platoon OF/DH

[TRM]

4 HR in 250 PA lol

 

he's exactly like Winker!

[Laika]

he's exactly like Winker!

 

Winker has two home runs this year lol

 

More walks than strikeouts though

 

Too much influence from Joey Votto

[TheHurl]

While we are all waiting if you want some true entertainment, go check out pornhub's new Described Videos for blind people.

[Dr. Dinger]

Meanwhile Albert Almora is basically a CF version of Nomar Garciaparra, already in the majors, and younger than Winker.

Seems like a dick, to be honest.

[Dr. Dinger]

If you ever listen to their podcast, Sayre sounds a poindexter dumbass. He's so boring to listen to, it's actually painful.

[Boxcar]

That said, I fully expect the Cardinals to make me look stupid.

 

he should probably not limit that sentiment to just the Cardinals.
