Ohtani's wRC+ just crept up above Juan Soto's. Obviously the age difference is substantial, but what Ohtani is doing as a hitter this year is very special. If you just took a 23/24 year old hitting prospect, in isolation, and gave him a .380 wOBA in his rookie season, with 10% BB rate and .275 ISO, you'd be doing backflips. Those are essentially Giancarlo Stanton's career numbers.

Disagree, this thread isn't nearly gay enough. I haven't seen one dick pic yet!

At least you still have Greg Bird to build around for the future.

Seems to me like a molotov cocktail through your mother's basement window would be much more economical.

This is why I think most teams, even mediocre ones, won't participate. I'm too invested in Vlad to potentially lose him.

This is exactly the kind of team I had in mind. Plus there’s a good chance you’ll be able to redraft at least a few of the pieces you’ve become invested in.

This would benefit me more personally but I don't think it would be fair to middle of the pack teams.

I actually don't think many owners would participate, maybe 4 or 5 at the most. I could be wrong.

I'm going to state for the record that I hope Silvergun will stay on board and continue to manage his excellent team. However, that said, if his resignation is final, I would like to make a more radical proposal due to the exceptionally strong roster he has compiled (rather than transferring his team to a new owner). My proposal is a one-time dispersal draft, which would include all of SG's MLB and MiLB assets, as well as the assets of any other owners who are resigning at season's end, and the assets of any owners who wish to opt-in. That is to say, any owner who feels they could benefit from redrafting among the combined assets could choose to join; anyone who prefers to keep their current roster would decline to participate. Pros - We don't hand over the league's superpower roster to a new owner who has done nothing to earn it - Much better for league parity (we balance SG's assets with those of the weaker teams) - Owners who recently inherited bad teams, or who have backed themselves into a corner, will get an opportunity to hit reset and put their stamp on the team - We add some much needed intrigue during a lull in the league's prestigious history - All dispersal picks would be fully tradeable, so even if you don't opt in, you could have skin in the game Cons - We've never done it before - None really Now, having said all that, I personally would not choose to opt in, but I do think it would be the healthiest way forward for the league and much more interesting than just handing Silvergun's roster over to Adam Greenwood or whatever.

JG34 can you do me a solid and let me sodomize your team this week? I make the playoffs, you get a better draft pick... it's a win-win.

FML. Only in BORED can I start the week in a playoff spot, beat the guy directly ahead of me, and somehow drop out of that playoff spot.

Prospects/picks should be a separate draft reverse order of NHL imo. I have no idea how to evaluate those assets in a dynasty vs NHL players.

I really am starting to hate how he steps out of the box and swings between each pitch.

Can you invite us to the Yahoo league? Would be easier to start my research.

Silvergun why you gotta be like that

f***ing ****.

Are we randomly generating the draft order for the dispersal? Snake draft I assume?

Can we do the dispersal draft before the entry draft? I don’t know anything about hockey prospects.

Spoiler alert

How did that dude die anyway? Reading between the lines it sounds like an OD or suicide.

Acuna is god.

If I beat Silvio to secure a playoff spot this week, it could very well be on Baez' back. Loving this dogfight of a playoff race.

I think I already quit this league once but maybe I’m mistaken. In any case, me, Hurl and jfl would make a solid dispersal draft and I will commit for at least two seasons.

I'm thinking of getting back into hockey this season so I'd probably be down if it's a 3 team dispersal draft.
