DODGERS 2017 NEWS/RUMORS/AROUND MLB Thread

There is a point there.

Giants have been able to contend and win championships despite a couple of the worst contracts handed out in recent years. That takes depth.

 

Walking Baez? Lol

 

i believe like a lot of you that our troubles against LHr's is exacerbated by the massive lineup shifts anytime one appears
try segedin and thompson for a quick minute first

 

It wouldn't be a surprise for them to push for a trade before his no-trade rights begin on May 24.

 

Always waiting for a saviour...Still counting on the Jewish Jesus.
Manny, Hanley, even Puig...And others, all had their shot at being our new Messiah. Didn't quite happen, though.
Or, maybe the kids in the Hall can help out. Later.
But just once, it would be so cool to start off the year and at least get through a couple of months without having to correct huge problems and/or gaping wounds.
Not in the cards, so far anyway.

 

Might not matter all that much, you're right. But as of now they have 6 teams they can deal with, but after the rights click in it could be less teams. Of course, if we're the only one of the 6 interested, it's probably moot.

 

Do it, tired of these shitty performances against LHP and having to platoon every night. Guys can't get in sync and Braun would immediately be the best hitter in the lineup after Seager. Could probably pull it off without giving up Verdugo, Bellinger, Calhoun, Alvarez, Buehler or White. Like to see it done sooner than later.

 

If the kid with game is on board, it needs to happen damn it!

 

If they get Braun without losing any of those guys ( likely), maybe they then move to your previous scenario at that point and go semi-all in with a quality/quantity offer for Quintana using some of those pieces. I guess something like Buehler/Verdugo/Calhoun/Barnes for Quintana. Could maybe just go ahead and bring Bobby Wilson up to take over for Barnes as backup for Yasmani I guess. But if Toles and Trayce remain with LAD for RF they could make it tough for Verdugo to take over anyway, and of course Calhoun is probably a safer play/better fit in the AL. Losing Buehler sucks, but even then there's White rising fast. I suppose the difference in not going for Sale, and going for Quintana instead, would be not parting with Bellinger. Although, not sure if CHI was actually asking for Bellinger with Abreu manning 1B, but maybe DH would be a possibility for the latter, or you just get a Bellinger regardless and figure it out later.

Still sort of difficult to see LAD unloading like that, but I guess I could see a scenario where maybe Verdugo/Calhoun are just better off elsewhere. Hate saying that about Verdugo because of course he gets it from an AB standpoint. Maybe LAD would have another option here, though, as they did with Dozier/Forsythe. Instead of Quintana - falling back for Archer..he sliced through the Jays' order the other day and looks to be off to a promising start. Maybe end up going Buehler/Calhoun/Ruiz/Brock for Archer, a lesser package. Anyway, all this in the name of getting a more reliable #2 option for the post..and should they do any of this shit and Kershaw again fails to have the kind of post season run we've been waiting on for years now, that'd be pretty fucked up and very possible. Damn, I wish they had just signed Lester/Ross..they tried, but that was a L for sure. Guess at some point they just felt like Theo had him.

 

Puig this year:
0/15

 

Puig this year:
0/15, 3 K's, 2 BB's vs LHP
9/19, 4 K's, 6 BB's, 2 doubles, 3 HR's, 5 RBI's vs RHP

You're doing hitting wrong Puig

 

When if he comes over; after 3 weeks: " Slump? What slump"?

 

Looks to me there like Puig's doing hitting like 2016- Justin Turner.
Well, sort of..Turner hit good pitching and was clutch.
