DODGERS: Offseason Thread

Dont think a team exists that would acquire Gwynn to be a full time starter

 

^It sounds like the Mets almost went there before they got Torres. But in any case, he would be good trade bait.

 

Fuck Ned
DBacks sign Saito while the Dodgers try and sign MacDougal

what an ass

 

fuck I really cant hate Saito but its hard not to. fuck the dbacks

 

DBacks get Saito. We go after Mac. Aramis gets basically what we are giving Lilly

NED

 

How much did Saito sign for?

Really would've liked him to be a Dodger.

 

The Dodgers announced that they non-tendered Hong-Chih Kuo (Twitter link).

At the moment we are committed to 107 million in salaries so far for 2013. This does not include Eithier or Loney or replacements for them as starters.

There are 21/22 roster spots under contract depending on Whether Sellers is with the big club and assuming Rubby is back.

Ummm not sure where you come up with $107M without Loney and Ethier. According to that link, we are at $114M including very accurate projections of arbitration eligible players' salaries. If you then deduct deferred salaries and buyouts ($22M total) then he number drops to $92M.

$92M = The LA Royals

 

Deferred salaries are still money that needs to be paid out of your revenue which in our case is bankruptcy court challenged.

 

Note the 107 million is for as noted 2013 not 2012. And as of now the 2013 payroll has nothing for Ethier and Loney as they are not under contract for then. So yes as I wrote about 2013 107 million without Eithier or Loney. So the new owner has a base salary for 2013 of 107 milliion without our 2012 projected right fielder and first baseman.

 

Sellers makes 485 K next year and where is Sands on the 25 man roster? Will Sellers be traded or will he be on the Major league roster or in the minors. Sands is still cheap but where does he fit in?

 

Why are we after Murphy of the Mets and for what possible positions and to replace who on the roster? Has that been discussed by the press or anyone?

Above is the projected roster. Why did/do we want Murphy and was it Sands being blocked for 2012 and consider how many are under two year contracts and signed for 2013. Perhaps had we gotten Murphy, Gwynn would not have been tendered. So is the Murphy deal now not a possibility? What is the additional tuning Ned has alluded to about?

 

Don't forget that Ned always likes to have the all important DL slot on the team filled.

 

The difference between Uribe and Murphy is astronomical compared to the difference between Sands and Gwynn/Rivera. If we can get Murphy I'd happily send Sands down to AAA.

$1.75M

Shame really we have such a POS GM

 

Rowand is easily a quality Marlin substitute instead of Pujols. Right?
As snicker producing as this for the Giants, and haha, etc., it pales beneath the LAD paying still and well into the clouded future for useless players.
I hear Queen and the excellent finook voice of Freddie Mercury: "We are the champions"!

 

My bad, didn't read it well, thought you meant 2012.

However, I don't give a fuck about deferred salaries, it may be a part of expenditures, but payroll to me means how much the players on the field are getting paid. Hell, even the POS Ned says our payroll this year is $90.
