Carlos Danger

Yea, the pen is an issue. However, the pen and it’s quality/sustainability also had a symbiotic relationship with the Starters. 4ip, 3.2, 2.1, 4, IPs by SPs in the past week has a lot to do with it…

The good news is Kikuchi is a lefty and I would rather face this lineup today then others.

I don’t have to imagine. I did it.

Yea, so the point of this board is to discuss opinions, make predictions, prognosticate on what you think will happen or should happen to the team/player. However, you consistently reply to many of these posts in a snarky know it all manner with your lol, WTF etc. Your not Spanky who actually knows baseball. You are one of the most frequent users of snarky replies but also one of the posters with IMO the least knowledge of baseball, what it takes to build a winner and a winning team. High post count, low baseball IQ. I made a post questioning our rotation depth and depth past the five starters. Your response was, Lol WTF.. Just wanted to point out again how wrong you always are, which I would have no inclination to do if you made a reasonable response to a post instead of being an ignorant smart ass. You are like the worst fielder and hitter on a Little League team shouting at teammates for an error or a K.. You have no baseball cred and no clue.

Yea, not so LOL…

Yup

Yup

Maybe a little Wry N Ginger involved also?

Come on Dude.. I am talking about a Cody Poteet, Castano, Garrett, Popp or something like that.. Being aware we would probably need to add something…

I am assuming they did.. What I was trying to articulate is that even if Miami wanted a sweetener etc, I hope we would have gone that route and exhausted all efforts.. I really think a return of a pitcher would have been a better use of Grichuk as a trade asset or the core piece anyway..

The Marlin's were looking for OF help pre-season and I am not sure why we didn't try to work something out with them for Grichuk vice Colorado.. I mean I guess we wanted another OF with a different profile and cheaper then Grichuk. However, I would have tried to use that asset for pitching and Miami is rich in it.. If we need an additional OF going forward and want to dump Zimmer, we should look to Arizona.. They have a glut and some guys who could be solid number 4/5 types... Some with IF/OF ability...

The conversations I recall were talking about situational hitting. There was also conversation reference to Springer's comments and then we were talking about going the other way, up the middle, vs pulling the ball etc... That is not the same as a generalization about, don't swing for the fences and play small ball. Maybe you are referring to a thread I totally missed. However, I think you are over dramatizing what was a very nuanced debate with your comments. Vlad didn't hit a HR last night for the walk off, he got the job done with a long single/maybe double.

That is the Grant77 default setting when he realizes he is not winning a debate or his assertions don't hold water.. s***, I am losing this argument. Activate default response ://Poster out debating me = Troll / Apply settings

Literally no one said that.. Yet you keep perpetuating it..

So I was looking through the transaction history of a 20 Team Dynasty league I am in. In early January of 2022 there was a trade with Altuve. Lux and Civale for Altuve… That is all I could find and note it was way prior to spring training this year.

No love for Tommy Edman in the NL?

Where did I say we should panic? Having said that, every other team with even a sniff at the expanded wild card will also be going after pitching. It is always better to have internal depth which I don’t believe we do. My comment is a response to assertions made with almost certainty here pre-season about the whole rotation and Ryu. This is a baseball board, now we have a outcome and result of said assertion and hell yea am I going to talk about it.

I accept your compliment, thank you.

Guilty conscience?

Where is that pre-season thread where group A) Said we have the best deepest rotation in baseball and called anyone who didn’t agree a troll. Group Said we need more depth and only have 3 reliable starters. Group C) Said we have two reliable starters (might have been more like a poster or two vice a group) Not going to be the first on here to say I told you so ref Ryu…

I agree with the above. I also think Blackburn might be available according to MLBTR..

Well since I am the "Douche" in this whole conversation, I guess I should respond. 1. This is a Dynasty league, not a redraft. We are not, nor were we at the time of the deal at the trade deadline. I am looking to continue building sustainable winning playoff teams. I believe that when trading with guys in a Dynasty league, you should build solid long term trade relationships and not act like a used car salesman who "suckered" a customer in a one time deal, for that customer to never return again. 2. I can't really blame Connor's son for the text, it was a private text between him and his dad. Connor sharing his son's text with the whole board.. Not sure if his son knew that was going to happen. 3.Before the Carlson | Darvish trade, I was poking around about Cobb. I never once asked about Darvish. Connor's son initiated the Darvish for Carlson proposal. If Darvish is the man, and I am initially asking about Cobb, why was he including Darvish in a first offer..? Regardless, I have faith in the Danger Co analytics department. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time I have heard criticism or out right laughter about a trade I have made, only to have my side of the trade emerge as the more solid piece/s six months to a year down the road. Here are two sample articles out of an abundance of due diligence I normally do before making trades with players like those. Darvish: https://www.rotoballer.com/yu-darvish-2022-fantasy-baseball-bust/995827 Altogether, Darvish appears to be a pitcher on the decline and relying on him to be anything more than an injury-prone number three is a dangerous proposition in 2022. Cobb: https://fantasysixpack.net/2022-fantasy-baseball-alex-cobb-is-better-than-you-think/ However, as you can see below, his Statcast numbers are all covered in red. Why is Statcast so positive about him? He has more strikeouts and fewer walks but just struggles with bad luck. It would be a matter of time before his name is on the top of transaction trends in your fantasy league.

Jared Walsh hits for the cycle. I always think guys with that body type will never get the triple.. He did it though!

Sell high in Fantasy Jim!!

I have surplus SPs, IF and OFs... Looking for frequent save and or hold RPs, picks and or specs, or a combo of all. Flexible. Thanks!
