connorp Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I still don't understand how this league and DDL differs from BBDL to the extent that connorp was able to acquire solid SP4/5 types like Wei-Yin Chen and Ian Kennedy for worthless waiver picks in BBDL, but they wouldn't go for that cheap in the other leagues. Both trading partners are in this league so that negates what you're trying to say
BTS Community Moderator Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 The Chen one was weird. I get a sense that there's a shift away from starters to relievers in general though, so the Kennedy one I think is defensible. I guess it depends on what you think of Heath Quinn. Seems like a very light return for a guy who's never hurt and pretty bankable as an SP4/5 in a league that typically runs 8 starters deep. For some reason those kinds of arms seem less valued in BBDL than in the other two leagues.
BTS Community Moderator Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Both trading partners are in this league so that negates what you're trying to say What I'm saying is that arms like that don't sit on the market for months before going for a pittance in the DDL and BORED. You just paid a ton more for Ross than you did Chen or Kennedy in BBDL.
Cyborg Verified Member Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Chen was just AG being dumb.
Laika Community Moderator Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 What I'm saying is that arms like that don't sit on the market for months before going for a pittance in the DDL and BORED. You just paid a ton more for Ross than you did Chen or Kennedy in BBDL. Hellickson just went for almost nothing in the DDL. You traded Howie Kendrick for a useless pick and acquired Cesar Hernandez for a useless pick (both decent bats). Ivan Nova went for almost nothing. Near the back of rosters it really just depends on the connection - who is buying, who is selling, how much they value the players. Everyone values players in the 200-1000+ o-rank range drastically different. I tried to get Chen in the DDL a while ago, hoping you would want some pick, and you asked for something I thought was preposterous. Can't remember what but I don't think I even responded. Might have been Neil Walker. Maybe that's a fair trade for some people but it was way down the road from what I thought he was worth.

I think Kennedy and Chen are significantly more valuable then Kendrick or Hernandez. I don't remember the returns for Nova and Hellickson, but if they were in the range of a 3rd round waiver pick or Heath Quinn, then I stand corrected.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 To Connor: Tyson Ross To Abomination: Kyle Tucker + R2 MiLB f***! Is Connor in the DDL?

I like Kennedy as a solid SP option but the cutdown was coming up quickly and Connor played his hand to a point where he took himself out of the trade. I wanted to keep some other players on my team who I have more of a liking to.
BTS Community Moderator Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Looks like Boxy has added his guys. If spittin has finished processing the recent trades, we should be able to start this soon, with windows not starting until monday.

connorp Old-Timey Member Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Translation: I dont. Where's the rules again? Is Manaea available to draft? I see he threw 145 imings
BTS Community Moderator Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I dont. Where's the rules again? Is Manaea available to draft? I see he threw 145 imings Manaea finished two starts short of requiring a promotion.
connorp Old-Timey Member Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 And I think it's 500 PA's for hitter? So Tim Anderson wouldn't be available? If he's not I'll just solidify my non-existent BP and take W.Harris

Cyborg Verified Member Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I wonder who's gonna try and take Kershaw...
BTS Community Moderator Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Just a reminder that if folks could add players as they draft them, that would be great.
