Flags Fly Forever, right?

 

I just want a piece of the mania. I think at the very least I'm getting Darvish 2.0 (TJ year included?)

[Orgfiller]

Ok, Dinger wins the Ohtani sweepstakes.

 

Brent Honeywell + Estevan Florial + Scott Kingery + MiLB 7 for Shohei Ohtani + MiLB 22

 

Dinger to confirm

 

Love that for you. Surprised Dinger would even do that, he seemed high on Honeywell but maybe that was just because he owned him here lol.

TJ isn't imminent, I read an article about how a DR. said it's likely that 70% of pitchers have UCL damage, in reference to Tanaka, I think I linked it to BTS a while back.

 

Edit: Oh and can last a career, all depends.

Plus a Chris Davis bat, Trout speed, and a baseball mind first.

I am very high on Honeywell, I just think Ohtani's ceiling is even higher as a pitcher and I'm interested in rolling the dice on his bat. And while I'm high on Honeywell, I personally feel now might be a good time to sell on Kingery (ISO ?) and Florial (Ks ?). I do think I may have overpaid when we re-visit this in a couple years but that's okay with me, fantasy is about having fun and Ohtani seems like he's going to be really interesting to own. Pretty stoked to have a Sale-Ohtani-Syndergaard rotation.

[Dr. Dinger]

Also, a perhaps under-appreciated aspect of this trade is that it actually frees up two pre-cut roster spots for me.

So Tim Tebow is safe?

[Spanky99]

lulz... he isn't a MLB guy is he?

[BTS]

As a pitcher, I'd say maybe 30%. Combined with the chance Ohtani can hit tho, lower than that. I do love Honeywell though, I'll have to try to reacquire him elsewhere.

 

I’m not expecting Ohtani to be a relevant bat in 20 team leagues. I don’t see how you can roster a guy who plays 2-3 days a week.

Same. When his arm blows apart, he might end up a league average DH.

I'm not banking on the bat but honestly it's a total unknown at this point. He could be what we thought Judge was going to be pre-2017.

Yeah, this is what I think too. I'd love to be wrong, just because it would be really fun to watch. At least he can leave the bat in the minors until we know.

I really had high hopes for that troll and I got nothin.

No worries they're dumn, 70 power plays. On that asset alone, if he makes contact, you're good.

70 power might play, but how well does he have to hit to warrant a roster spot of its 2-3 starts a week? I don’t even think a 120 wRC+ cuts it.

We'll see mate.

I'm curious why you are so convinced that you have a read on his bat. Wide range of outcomes with significant ceiling.

His bat is/was graded 4th among OF'ers, I'd take that, and this is only from all INTL' scouts. I know, lets wait and see.

I don't think I have a read on his bat. He could be anything. The level he has to hit to be 20-team relevant is very high though. Yoenis Cespedes went 292/352/540 with 17 homers (131 wRC+) in 321 PA and wasn't a top-500 player in out format.

This, he won't be a worthwhile MLB DH either and the Angels won't risk playing him in the OF, he'll be SP only.

He was def Top 500 on a per PA basis tho

Out league doesn't really value players who put up big numbers in 200-300 PAs though.

Don't worry.

[burlingtonbandit]

If anyone who missed out on Othani is still looking for a SP I'll dangle one of Kershaw/Strasburg/Kluber.

 

Also looking for an elite hitter.. doesn't have to be the same trade as above. Most of my prospects are available but I'm really high on Senzel so he'd be tough to move.

[BTS]

My Pedroia auction concluded with zero bids.

 

Next up: Anthony Swarzak

[Dr. Dinger]

I'll give you Warmoth for Pedroia & Swarzak. I'm looking to pick up some end of roster filler since I only have like 18 good keepers at the moment.

[BTS]

I’ll accept Warmoth for Pedroia and Swarzak at 5 PM ET today if nobody beats that offer. I don’t love Warmoth, so make an offer.

 

IIRC Swarzak was a top-40 player last year. He’s really good!

^ Someone really should beat that. A 3 round MILB pick is probably worth more than Warmoth.

[Dr. Dinger]

Garrett Cooper is a non-prospect.

[jays4life19]

I am so triggered rn
