Delwyn Young...what you got on this guy? (1 Viewer)

[Bobcat10]

I don't know much about him. I could aquire him via trade for my #4 pick in the rookie draft H2H dynasty league. The top three picks were Bruce, Soto and Rasmus.

The trade is Dye, Young and Sanchez (who I told this guy I don't want so that needs to change) and his 2nd round pick for my 1.4 pick and Polanco (I have Kelly Johnson). My pick is OTC.

The best player I see on the board right now is ####odome (or whatever his name is).

I could also get Billy Butler straight up for this pick. It was offered to me last night.

Billy or Delwyn?

What you say?

Not sure your eligibility rules, but Butler is going to be a stud.

I'm not a huge Delwyn fan. He'll be 26 this year which is old for a top prospect. He's blocked in the OF by better players, so the Dodgers converted him to 2B. I haven't watched him play there but any late conversion raises questions whether he can field his position at a Major League level. Also, LA hitting prospects always look great in the minors because of friendly ballparks.

I'd trade him for Butler in a heartbeat. Butler is younger and should be a productive hitter for the next decade.

Butler

I'd do Butler straight up for the pick

Young is a decent bat without a spot on the playing field.

To get the best feel about Dodger prospect hitters, watch their AA stats. It is the only non-hitting friendly park and league that they all play in.

I'm gonna see if I can get Butler guys. This is my expansion team that I had another thread about. I'm gonna post my final roster once it's done and see if I (we) can better than team throughout the year.

I actually already have Kemp and Loney, so I'm not sure I need another LAD bat either.

And, the Young trade is dead now because we can't come to terms on the replacement for Sanchez.

Thanks.

How about picking Joey Votto, David Price(if you need pitching) or even Andrew McCutchen. Billy Butler can rake though.

I don't think Price will see a lot of time in Tampa this year. I love Votto, but I also fear Baker falls in love with Scott Hatteberg since Baker tends to favor veterans over younger talented players.Butler will get all the PT he wants and he can flat out rake

I will be shocked if Votto loses significant playing time to Hatteberg.

I know - but I don't put anything past Baker. His favoritism for washed up veterans is widely known. Killing young arms and overplaying old legs is what he is known for.

I have Votto actually. Got him in the expansion part.

my expansion team:

C - Jason Varitek

1B - James Loney, Adam LaRoche, Joey Votto (OF)

2B - Kelly Johnson, Placido Polanco

SS - Yunel Escobar (2B/3B)

3B - Ryan Zimmerman, Ian Stewart (2B?), Josh Fields (OF)

OF - Nick Swisher (1B), Gary Matthews Jr, Matt Kemp, Brandon Jones, Felix Pie, Butler

SP - Homer Bailey, Michah Owings, Daniel Cabrera, Franklin Morales, Manny Parra, Andy Sonnanstine

RP - Jon Rauch, Bob Howry, Matt Lindstrom, Manny Delcarmen, Aaron Heilman, Henry Owens (DL)

I made the trade. Butler and the #10 pick for my #4 pick. There really was not anyone that stood out to me outside of the top 3 guys that were chosen. Guys like Towels, Adam Jone, and Votto were already in Yahoo last year, therefore they were able to be rostered. Gonna take some work to get this team competitive in a few years, but I'm all for the challenge.

You have some players to work with here. What was the situation again, you inherited a horrible team, or a league expanded and you started from scratch?

League went from 10 to 12...and the expansion process was rather stupid. Basically, some of the owners were against it so the people that wanted to expand had to appease those against it a little too much. I'm going to start a new thread soon to track the expansion team.

Obviously with that pitching staff, it's not going to be competitive this year, but you can set yourself up nicely. Looking forward to your thread.
