You're right - Brad Hand is pretty awesome.

[P2F]

Dinger gets: Dexter Fowler and Jay Bruce

P2F gets: Dee Gordon and Brad Hand

[Spanky99]

Dansby Swanson

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

David Robertson

 

for

 

Jose Bautista

Russell Martin

 

[Boxcar]

Big trade!

 

Not that bad of a trade but I'm not a Swanson fan really. Bautista is still a boss.

 

Swanson is probably better than Tulowitzki.

[Frenchsoup]

Swanson is probably better than Tulowitzki.

 

Yeah he's pretty awesome, it stung.

[Dr. Dinger]

Do we need some more assistant commissioners to approve trades?

[Dr. Dinger]

So Frenchsoup's roster now includes:

 

Edwin Encarnacion

Devon Travis

Troy Tulowitzki

Russell Martin

Jose Bautista

Kevin Pillar for some reason

JAy Happ

Marcus Stroman

 

I think I'm sensing a theme here.

[Dr. Dinger]

Good team, tho!

I've processed the prospects. You guys can do the rest via yahoo.

Only you and spittin can approve trades right now in Yahoo.

Nice try!

[Dr. Dinger]

Nice try!

 

I'd say that's accurate. Swanson will beat Tulo in 4/7 categories this year, and that's if Tulo actually stays healthy. Tulo has been a league average hitter for two full seasons and he's now officially old.

[Laika]

Dansby --> .259/.322/.395/13/65/57/9

TULO ----->.260/.329/.444/20/62/66/1

 

And Steamer projects 20 less games for Tulo, so if he DOES stay healthy he should crush Swanson in counting stats.

 

I think Tulo objectively still has the significantly higher upside. Would it shock anybody if he hit .280/.350 with 30+ bombs and 100+ RBI?

 

Would it shock anybody to see Swanson hit an empty .250?

 

What's the appeal of Dansby anyway when you can get a fantasy SS plug like Assdribble for nothing?

The guy might not even crack 400 SLG.

[Dr. Dinger]

The guy might not even crack 400 SLG.

 

Or he could hit .300 and slug .450. You guys are leaning too heavily on a pre-season projection for a 2nd year player, Steamer doesn't know who Swanson is and neither do we, but we do have a pretty good idea who Tulo is at this point and where he is on the aging curve.

[Dr. Dinger]

Would it shock anybody if he hit .280/.350 with 30+ bombs and 100+ RBI?

 

Yes.

 

Would it shock anybody to see Swanson hit an empty .250?

 

Yes. An empty .280, maybe.

[Cyborg]

Swanson was pretty mediocre in AA and barely has any sample outside of that.

[Laika]

Yes.

 

Yes. An empty .280, maybe.

 

Swanson just hit an empty .260 in AA!!!!

 

People are massively overrating these shortstop prospects right now, in both fantasy and real life. The Francisco Lindor effect.

[Dr. Dinger]

A .744 OPS may seem mediocre, but a 117 wRC+ isn't. I'm not in love with Swanson so I'm not going to the mat for him any more than this, but you guys are irrationally high on Tulo, and as dynasty assets I don't think they're anywhere close; Swanson is much more valuable. In a redraft, I would take Tulo, but this isn't that.

No, I think you're just underestimating how close Tulowitzki is to the cliff. Nobody is saying Swanson is Derek Jeter.

Yeah I agree they're not close. No way I'd take Swanson anywhere near Tulo.

[Dr. Dinger]

Yeah I agree they're not close. No way I'd take Swanson anywhere near Tulo.

 

Yes, well, you're a tomfool enslaved by thoughtless projections. In the near future Swanson will ISO .150+ with a 10%+ BB rate and strong avriges.

This is the type of absurd youth-humping that leads people to draft Anthony Goses in the 8th round.

 

Tulo is a nearly bankable bet to provide a few more solid fantasy seasons. Swanson might not ever provide one solid fantasy season. Sure there's a chance he is great, but your probabilities are way out of whack.

Tulo is 32 and didn't finish inside the Top 250 in this format last year. I don't know where you get off talking about probabilities, his final decline is a near certainty.

[Dr. Dinger]

Tulowitzki is essentially a replacement level shortstop in this format now. Here are some worthless boobs who were better last year:

 

Didi Gregorius

Asdrubal Cabrera

Eduardo Nunez

Elvis Andrus

Jedd Gyorko (push)

 

All younger and either waiver wire guys or available for dirt cheap.

Dr. Dinger's idea of fantasy analysis is to click the 'Current' column on Yahoo.

 

Use this to your strategic advantage, readers.

So Brandon Crawford?

Actually that's a perfectly useful index for telling you what happened in this format last season.
