Wanted: Board Member for Hockey Dynasty League
Laika replied to The Cats Ass's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Ok, I will think about joining since you guys seem to really need a manager and a lot of the usual suspects are in this thing. I like the hockeys and am only in one league this year. I'll let you know tomorrow. -

Deets? -
I don't think I'll ever forget the True Cards' offense circa 2014. Not sure how you even made the playoffs.
-
Any time I think about jumping ship on a "broken" David Wright, I just make myself think about Ortiz' 2009.
-
I'm not so sure he could do that. It doesn't really matter how good of a hitter a guy is - if he's thirty f***ing nine, the only person that is paying market rate for him in this league is probably Dinger.
-
Your OF and SP core are so f***ing enviable. And you've got elite elite prospects in Russell and Giolito underneath that team. It's too bad that Mauer is losing C eligibility and Tanaka probably has to get cut in spring training.
-
The yearly wOBA leaderboards will have a lot of guys in their 20's, but most of these guys are a) functionally impossible to trade for in a dynasty league, or breakout guys from that particular season. So if you want to move into a new year with bankable offensive production, you probably want most of your positions to be around 30, or a bit older. You'd have to be the best drafter in the league by far + wait 5-10 years to get a studly offensive core that isn't around 30 years old on average.

I'd say because you're a huge pussy, but I think that was a rhetorical question.
-
God that is SUCH a jaysblue thing to do too.
-
Well then you f***ing cheated at the average age game you sleezy butt
-
Lots of guys get moved out from behind the dish after getting drafted for developmental reasons. I always wonder how good a guy like Myers or Harper or Lawrie would be defensively if they stayed behind the plate.

Los Osos Greypower ... wait, that doesn't make any sense. Los Osos Grises!!!

My starting 9 feel pretty old. Pinto - 26 Votto - 31 Walker - 29 Zobrist - 34 Wright - 32 Span - 31 Gordon - 31 Pearce - 32 Davis - 29 30.55 I guess it's not that bad, but Pinto is more of a hunch than a core player. Rotation is nice and young though with Scherzer, Salazar, Ryu, Arrieta, Moore, and Neise all 30 or younger next year. (apologies for the obviously rosterbatory post)

It's all well and good to say that, but the fact is that with catching prospects, because of their skill sets, most of them can't slide down the spectrum like other players. If a normal SS can't handle the position but can swing the bat, no problem, slide him to 2B or 3B. Their value isn't entirely dependent on their position. If a 2B or 3B can't handle that position but can hit the ball, slide them to CF. And then to a corner... and then to 1B. If a catcher can't handle the position but he can swing the bat, for most catchers, he better be able to swing the bat like a motherf***er because all of a sudden he's a f***ing first baseman where a guy like Miguel Cabrera can be the f***ing 5th best hitter at the position in any given year. Catchers who can play anything other than C or 1B are a rare breed. Maybe Pentecost can do that, Carlos Santana is an example, but it's very unlikely.
-
Well you can flip Jaro for profit when he has 25 W's at the trade deadline!
-
Don't worry. "My" projections have the Isles finishing as a top 2 team in the Metropolitan. Top 4 in the East.
-
Mostly old SP too, aside from Sale and Bumgarner. And Lee and Waino have scary 'bows. Sanchez was injured for a lot of this year. Kazmir kind of fell back down to earth in the 2nd half. No elite prospects. Not really any very good ones tbh. No first round pick to trade. dun dun dun!
-
Dinger's team has to be older. Maybe much older.
-
Willingham is probably retiring I think
-
I think it's pretty clear that Spanky gets more bankable value in the Melky deal. I get more upside with Moore but the guy has been a thoroughly pedestrian big leaguer and a big K/BB drag through a fair number of career innings. + he's coming off the TJS. If he can find a way to even sniff his minor league peripherals though...
-
Yeah we were talking about Melky for a week or two, I just wasn't overly keen on the idea of dealing him for no MLB players. I think it's possible that Spanky's willingness to assign some value to Rollins was influenced a bit by me saying that he was close competing if he could upgrade his offense by a couple if pieces, including a SS. At then end up the day Rollins should be a decent upgrade for him at the position for 2015 though.
-
My trade binge continues. Out: Dexter Fowler Marcus Stroman Melky Cabrera Jimmy Rollins Raimel Tapia (minors) Hunter Renfroe (minors) Pick #33 In: Steve Pearce Joey Votto Neil Walker Matt Moore Everth Cabrera Pick #107 Pick #39 All in three days. I'm trying to flip over my entire roster before Christmas.
-
Pretty sure this has never happened. Link if I'm wrong. My impression from around the draft was that Pentecost was intriguing because he was a good bet to stick at catcher and be a 50 or 60 grade hitter. So his value seems to very much be tied to whether or not he's a catcher. I was thinking that if he develops, maybe you get something like a Yadier Molina (with 50 grade defense instead of 70). Say, AJ Pierzynski with a league average walk rate.

What was yours again?
