I was never really a fan of Maikel Franco as a prospect, I read a lot of reports that his swing had holes. Now we have 1200 PAs of below average hitting, and even the power is pedestrian. Meh, I can see why you'd cut him.

[Dr. Dinger]

You drafted him pretty high though, above guys like Jon Lester, Christian Yelich, Ryan Braun, Cargo, Lindor, Cano, Conforto, Myers, Blackmon and Darvish. So that's a bummer. It's risky drafting these 2nd year players in a dynasty drafts and projecting out their early success.

Ahh, you win some, you lose some. Second year players definitely are a risk. We put too much stock in 200-300 AB with Addison Russel being a great example.

Yep, thankfully for me this doesn't apply to Corey Seager <3

[P2F]

lol... did you get stiffed for a later pick with Pinder?

 

Lol yes. I offered him #86, he even updated the post to indicate that last night.

 

Whatever, I really don't care that much, as it's only Chad Pinder.

Oops sorry man. Would have changed it but JaysBlue was quick to pounce on the trade offer.

It's all good, buddy. I think you probably did me a favor anyway.

[P2F]

So I'll go ahead with the next auctions:

 

Cesar Hernandez

Dee Gordon

 

Both of these guys are incredibly useful players, but I have managed to stockpile a metric f***tonne of 2Bs.

 

I'm not looking for anything specific. Best offer wins.

 

I will move both by tomorrow night at 11:59 PM EST.

[jays4life19]

I will open the auction with Christian Arroyo for Cesar Hernandez

[Orgfiller]

OK, the following people need to confirm and send me trade offers. The featured player traded for whoever you are discarding.

 

To Orgfiller: Maikel Franco + milb#116

To Greenwood: milb #19

 

To j4l19: Austin Hedges

To Greenwood: milb#90

 

To JaysBlue: Chad Pinder

To Greenwood: milb#88

 

Pretty good bargains all around.

 

If the thanks from before wasn't obvious we'll confirm.

I love how these auctions have developed, not even secretive anymore. Out in the open baby!

I bid Roman Quinn. I have no idea who is ahead.

For these types of deals, probably not much point in trying to mask any of it. I think if a bigger name was auctioned, it would be different.

Agreed. I debated how much transparency I would post with, but it seems like nobody cares (for such a minor deal, at least).

 

So...current leading bids:

 

Cesar Hernandez - Christian Arroyo

Dee Gordon - nothing

 

Auction will close tonight at midnight EST.

[JG34]

I'll start the bidding at MiLB 103 for Dee.

[P2F]

I'll continue to update as I get new offers.

 

Cesar Hernandez - Christian Arroyo

Dee Gordon - MiLB #103

[AdamGreenwood]

I'll continue to update as I get new offers.

 

Cesar Hernandez - Christian Arroyo

Dee Gordon - MiLB #103

 

Pretty sure he's orchestrating this entire thing, just to deny me, when I have the highest bid.

[P2F]

What's your bid?

Dee Gordon - MiLB #70

 

So compelling, so rich.

f***, hope someone beats pick 103, it's a steep price.

[jays_fever]

I'll offer pick 70 since I wont even use it.

[P2F]

I'll offer pick 70 since I wont even use it.

For...Dee Gordon?

[jays_fever]

o yea Gordon. Not sure whom the other fellow is

[P2F]

Who needs to go out on a Friday night when we have this kind of free entertainment just absolutely enticing us to stay in!

 

I've updated the most current auction post with this latest breaking development.

[P2F]

It's worth mentioning that Dee Gordon's line from today was 3-6 (2 2B), 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 SB.

His BA/OBP is now up to .282/.331 for the season, with 21 SB!

 

This is serviceable speed, folks.

[P2F]

15 minutes until the auction deadline. Edited June 10, 2017 by P2F

[P2F]

Going once, going twice...

[P2F]

Cesar Hernandez...

 

SOLD! To the young lady in the pink polka-dotted dress in the second row (JFL19, for Christian Arroyo).

 

 

Dee Gordon...

 

SOLD! To the decrepit old man in the black tux with the monocle at the back of the room (jays_fever, for MiLB #70).

 

 

Edit: You two will each need to drop a player so that a commish can add these guys to your team. Oh, and also confirm the trades, please.
