DODGERS NEWS/RUMORS/INJURIES Thread

if they really are trying to move him, they won't be asking for Seager/Joc/Urias with any real intent. like you said, the message was sent loud and clear at the deadline..Seager/Joc/Urias aren't going anywhere. so it'd be a good way to waste the Dodgers' time, but that's about it.

i'm not really worried about Colon next year..although, i do think he could be solid for us in '15. 42yrs old or not, he's a fat freak and been effective for a long time. at worst, he'll be a co-#5 with Haren and if they hit the market and look to add another arm, like they did this past winter with Tanaka, we'll have a pretty good #4 since it's Scherzer/Lester/Shields leading the FA charge. if old man Colon gets injured and can't hold up next year..o'well, GuggenGods to the rescue again. like Blue said..we gotta be all in right now, so long as the price is right. worry about next year when the winter comes.

 

Wow...cruel age discrimination. Hurtful to the Old Ones. Tsk, tsk.
Just use him for the rest of the year, then when winter comes, put him out on the ice floes for Nanoo, the polar bears, like the Inuit do with the aged .
He will feed many, prehaps even the leopard seals will feast.
Seriously, if we don't go at it all this year, one way or the other, then '15 looks almost like a "rebuilding year" .If not '15 , then '16 for sure.

 

2016, certainly. but they'll be ready for it. Guerrero up, Arruba up, Seager up, Joc probably up by then, Urias as well..Kershaw, Ryu, maybe Greinke and Puig leading the way..we'll be fine. AGon and Kemp might also still be solid contributers at that point as well. continued progression by Dee as well. i'm not as afraid of the future as you seem to be. however, our manager situation is questionable.

question..if the Marlins put Stanton on the trade block this winter..Joc and Seager to be offered for his services?

 

I'll answer a question with a question, bad form I know...how many people will be in the stands in FL if Stanton goes?
If they would ever, probably.
Puig, Kemp, Stanton in the OF is insane. Can get IFs everywhere, although maybe not the quality of Seager and his potential. We can live with it, just like we live with the worst catchers in MLB right now.
And a taint licked GM who has brought zero rings with his assemblages.
Extend Ned again!!! Whatever he wants!!

 

yep. like i've said for a while..if you've offered up 120M for an unproven Tanaka, you're probably willing to offer up 160M for a proven Scherzer or Lester. and in the event that they do go shopping for another impact starter, James Shields could probably be had for 70M or so on a shorter deal. if you're willing to take on Beckett and his 14M a couple seasons ago, you're probably willing to pony up 14M a year for Shields to solidify the 4 slot. that'd take a lot of pressure off Urias down the line..he could be the 5th guy and get some bullpen action in the post season just to kinda get his feet underneath him. it'd also take pressure off the front office in terms of what happens with Greinke and his opt out coming up.

 

do they even show up for Stanton? i mean they've always been weak in attendance + they did sell high on Cabrera and he was pretty darn good. i'm just asking this because MLB Network was talking about it earlier and Stanton's been griping about Miami's organization again. he may want out and why not make it a LA homecoming?

Puig moves to CF permanently in that set up, but of course i like it.

but where do you draw the line? you'd give up Seager and Joc, but what if they wanted Urias as well? what if the Dodgers gave up all 3 and then signed Lester or Scherzer to kinda make up for the loss of Urias ( even tho Urias is so much younger and has so many more years ahead of him..we think/hope..you know how pitching is)

 

I think your head is going to blow up.

 

:bonghit::jointpass:

 

it almost did and that was just from watching MLB network talk about it. now, imagine if MIA really did try to get a haul for Stanton this winter before he walks in a couple years

 

MIA? The Olympic star and wife of Dodger announcer Nomar Garciaparra and sort of Sandra Bullock look alike ? That MIA?

 

no, no..this MIA

 

Wait...I'm really out of it I guess...I though Ryu's injury was a pulled gluteus muscle? Shoulder? arm?
Anyone? Anyone?
