GD Old-Timey Member Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 I like this for Spittin actually. Yes and we are all so so shocked
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Hello, sorry for my long hiatus. Gonna try and make more time for the board as I've been neglecting my duties as of late on all fronts. I have a trade to announce, Frenchsoup gets Chris Sale and Mark Melancon Spittin gets Benintendi and Piscotty. Lmao holy f***, what are you doing?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Lmao holy f***, what are you doing? Didnt you call Benintendi "the next Trout"? I actually don't mind this trade. Spittin's offense is now deep at every position but catcher, and with Archer & DeGrom, he can sorta afford to move Sale. I guess we'll see how it pans out; I've never been the high man on Tendi, but he could be the next Betts. 1B Vmart 2B Kipnis 3B Lamb SS Miller CF Blackmon OF Piscotty OF Benintendi DH Braun That's gotta be one of the best lineups in the league.

I love Benintendi, and maybe I should have pulled the trigger on him for Kyle straight up (too much personal bias involved there, I'm afraid) but if you say Melancon = Piscotty, no way Sale = Benintendi at this point. It very easily may work out for Spittin but he did not get good or even adequate value for Sale.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Piscotty >>>>> Melancon for me. Piscotty's 1st two years are a lot like FF.
Laika Community Moderator Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Piscotty is worth double Melancon. Sale is probably worth a bit more than 2 Benintendis. I think Spittin ate a bit of value but it's nothing egregious. Benintendi isn't just some good prospect down in AA. Maybe Spittin should have asked for one more asset back.
Laika Community Moderator Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Piscotty >>>>> Melancon for me. Piscotty's 1st two years are a lot like FF. Doesn't he also have CF somehow this year?

I haven't been paying attention to Piscotty. Leave it to me to give feedback on a trade without even being familiar with a main piece. I resolve to be better in 2017.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Doesn't he also have CF somehow this year? Yep. 1B/CF next year.
Laika Community Moderator Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Yep. 1B/CF next year. He's a fringe 1B but a great CF. Probably an OF3 without improvement?
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 It's only half a season, but: .282/.348/.467 with 29 HR in his first year and a half, looks pretty good. I don't think there's any question that he's worth a lot more than Melancon. Frankly, there's a reasonable chance he ends up worth more than Benintendi.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Anyone looking for some cheap closers/setup men? Have a handful that I could move for a pick or pick upgrade. If any of them interest you or you want a cheap closer hit me up! Brandon Kintzler (MIN - RP) Bryan Shaw (CLE - RP) Fernando Rodney (MIA - RP) Jeanmar Gómez (PHI - RP) Steve Cishek (SEA - RP) Also, if someone is looking for a cheap CFer, Jacoby Ellsbury (NYY - CF) can be had. Bump
spittin Verified Member Posted December 5, 2016 Author Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Lmao holy f***, what are you doing? I dunno, at first glance it looked like an auto accept. Sale's K rate was down almost 2K/9 last season, I could see him being a beast in the NL though. I got younger so as long as these 2 guys live up to their expectations this should pay dividends for years. Edited December 5, 2016 by spittin

If he is that good beginning in 2017, the trade is fine.
JG34 Verified Member Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 After trading Archer in the Stanton deal I'll be looking for more pitching. Will make a trade block up shortly. Hoping Gurriel gets 1B eligibility, if not will be looking for that as well.
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Taking offers for Kinsler.
BTS Community Moderator Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Would still like to move Asdrubal Cabrera. Guy hit 23 dongers with a 119 wRC+ last year, and plays this year at 31 (I mention that because I assumed he was like 36 up until the draft last year. Looking for an SP.

Idk if anyone will give you an starting pitcher of decent quality for your boring, s***** platoon guy.
BTS Community Moderator Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Idk if anyone will give you an starting pitcher of decent quality for your boring, s***** platoon guy. Switch hitter with a career 105 wRC+ vs. RHP and 106 vs. LHP. Platoon guy.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Switch hitter with a career 105 wRC+ vs. RHP and 106 vs. LHP. Platoon guy. Better than Aledmys Diaz probably
BTS Community Moderator Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Better than Aledmys Diaz probably Most likely
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Switch hitter with a career 105 wRC+ vs. RHP and 106 vs. LHP. Platoon guy. Sorry, just assumed based on the fact that you own/owned him x2. Plus was making fun of your s***** grammar.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Better than Aledmys Diaz probably What's really funny is that you'll pump the tires of a shitbag like Broxton and then take a dump on a bunch of guys with both better success and a larger sample.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 I'm not s***ing on Diaz, I think he's a perfectly average player going forward. Broxton is a lot more risky. Diaz could easily end up a part time player, though.

BTS Community Moderator Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Sorry, just assumed based on the fact that you own/owned him x2. Plus was making fun of your s***** grammar. I don't really understand where the 'BTS loves platoon guys' thing comes from. I've cycled through a lot of them during a retool in the DDL, but that would be like me posting about how much you love terrible players because you've had a lot of them during your DDL rebuild. In BORED I have Naquin, who was pretty valuable, and in LOD I have a very good offense with at least 7 guys who will play every day.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Starling Marte is still available. Have had two teams interested. Looking for a top SP.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Starling Marte is still available. Have had two teams interested. Looking for a top SP. You have him in both leagues?
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 You have him in both leagues? Oops wrong league lol.
