REALLY happy that Ned didn't give up Webster for Dempster. That seems like a deal he'd do, but he held out. We upgraded our team and kept Zach, Gould, Reed, Webster, Withrow, and Joc.
Id MUCH rather have traded any number of them for a big bat and good SP. I'm sick of keeping all these guys until they are worth nothing. We have money, we don't need to hang on to these types of prospects IMO.
Well, we finally ended the LF rotation. That's good. And that includes a leadoff hitter. IDK, is League an upgrade over Lindblom?
Any of them going to get us a WS in 2012? Forgive me for not jumping with joy, I'm living in the now.
im so sick of Ned just saw we tried to get GLEN PERKINS. a freaking relief pitcher? wtf?????!! he's good, but still, wtf
Kershaw Hope Bills continues to get better Cap all of a sudden has to continue his career year Great. STRUCK OUT on the SP Ned. Struck out. Not saying he failed on the trades. He obviouly didn't. But he dropped the ball on this one. Had to upgrade the roto. He talked about it over and over. And didn't fucking do it!
Yes, and when the dodgers fix his latest problems,,,he will be much better. He throws like Belesario from what I've seen.
I am a little disheartened about our lack of of acquiring an SP. We saw what happens when Harang does his thing last night. We need another SP. Maybe nonwaiver, I do not know.
Great deadline. Sit back for a second, take a deep breath, and analyze it....like doyer said, we kept all our top prospects in tact and added Hanley Ramirez, Randy Choate, Brandon League, and Shane Victorino...lol, well done Ned.
Not buying this whole "win now" shit ownership has fed us either. We can't "win now" with the pitching we have.
Oh for sure, but who? I'm sure Ned would have pulled the trigger if a big bat/pitcher would have come up but nothing huge was out there. Shields/Garza didn't get traded. Hart didn't get traded. Pence has his concerns. We could have gotten Dempster or Maholm but you're talking about Webster or more for something like that.. not worth it
Greinke was never an option because other teams could outbid us with specs Rays dont want to trade Shields yet Marlins dont want to trade Johnson yet Cubs were being dicks wanting our 2nd best guy for a rental the second tier guys like Maholm, Vargas of the M's, etc aren't really upgrades good job holding out
Yeah ...I was hoping that something would materialize since we were able to get ramirez and vic without giving them up...hoping they would be involved in another trade...oh well, good trades overall...best in all my years really.
