    Exactly my thoughts.
    Get a RH pop guy (involves trading Puig)
    Sign Upton or Cespedes or trade For Stanton (Offer Puig and Urias, at this point, why the hell not?)
    Keep Greinke, Sign Price, keep Kendrick
    trade for Chapman (if we sign Upton/Cespedes, maybe even offer Puig for him, you know you want Hatcher/Chapman/Jansen).
    Utley, Rollins, Crawford, out the fucking door
    Get a new hitting coach ( for Joc's sake)
    2016:
    2B Kendrick
    SS Seager
    OF Upton/Cespedes/Stanton
    1B Gonzalez
    3B Turner
    OF Ethier
    CF Joc
    C Ellis/Grandal (Grandal got an MRI on friday which will probably show he played 3 months with a torn labrum).

    I'm weak? Yeah, I'm weak, cause I'm an actual Dodger fan who right now is so distraught about the game that thats the full extent of my analysis. Unlike you, who the full extent of your "fandom" is getting enjoyment from the Dodgers losing so you can pretend that it means you're better then someone. Just cause you're scared of some people who are labeled as nerds. Guarantee you wouldn't care if people defended a GM who fucked up if it was some old slob, just cause they're not labeled as smart. Ned Coletti fucked us up but who cares, he wasn't labeled as a nerd so you don't feel the need to hope every move fails to be able to say you're smarter.

    A coaching change I honestly don't think it changes much, but it will probably be the thing that gets all of us excited again, I guess. Like, hey something new maybe this changes our fortune! The offseason as far as players go will probably be filled with lots of moves, some weird, some good, some head-scratching.

    We've got $158m committed next year: http://www.truebluela.com/2013/10/21/4861112/los-angeles-dodgers-payroll

    No longer have to pay for Olivera, Wilson, Haren, League, etc. and we're not spending much on Kemp either.

    If we can somehow trade Crawford & Ethier without having to eat all their salary, that could take a lot off the books too.

    I don't know if the org is willing to spend $300m again, but we could bring in some genuine big names to fill the gaps.

    Idk, but the team falls apart and needs a lot of maneuvering if he can't hit, cause theres nothing in the farm system that can be good in CF and you don't see many good CF'ers available via trade or free agency.

    So, he has to hit.

    We had the highest composite WAR total in the league
    I dont think that's by chance--our FO knows what theyre doing

    Its not gonna make us champs overnight, of course
    But now theres less I think we need to do than last offseason

    One major thing, like VRP mentioned, is we need a feared power bat
    You look at our lineup and theres not one player any team is afraid of

    Definitely need to upgrade 3B -- Turner is amazing, but dude isnt a full time starter, or at the least he cant maintain his level of play much longer
    I would love a power hitting 1B (chris davis is FA but i dont trust him. Really only two good years)
    Pederson prob bounces back next year. I believe Puig does as well. Grandal well see after surgery. But shoulder surgery is the woat
    If we add JHey bruh..Resign Zachary Greinke
    Id love Price too of course...I hope Ryu is back to the old him
    What can we flip AGon for? Will the Astros take him? I want Collin Mchugh but they aint bout to do that

    JHey, Pederson, Puig
    Davis, Kendrick, Seager, Turner
    Grandal

    Kershaw, Greinke, Price, Ryu, Anderson

    It's not his eye for the zone that is the problem, he just needs to make fucking contact. Fuck, if he's a .250 hitter next year, that would be fantastic. His OBP was nearly .140 higher than his BA, if he can start making more regular contact, he'll be a very valuable player. I think he comes back well and we will be happy with the results.

    Is it weird I don't like seeing so many lefties?

    Or am I just a righty supremacist?

    I think the Nerds did a good job.

    Only thing is Ryu and Mccarthy went down in/before April. So they had 6 months to get a starter capable of going in the playoffs and they didn't. Other than that I'm mostly satisfied.

    Agreed. No Upton.
