    Does anyone remember a kid named Andrew Tolles? LOL I thought we'd miss him in a bad way.

    Granderson is the only person affiliated with the Mets who isn't a complete clown. Stoked to have him on board. CesPEDes and Reyes can continue loafing after fly balls and beating their wives while the fans mourn the loss of their scrub SS. Meanwhile, Grandy and Puig get a ring.

    The Dodgers just traded for Curtis Granderson, he and Bellinger will be playing LF and CF with Puig continuing in RF. Taylor will now go back to 2B and Adrian is back to 1B. Turner and Seager will continue to play the positions they have been playing in.
    The Dodgers will start running this more often than not which will be much closer to what I proposed than what you propose. And I wont have a problem believing you came up with your opinion stone sober ;)

    You think maybe they put Granderson in at CF?

    Vs righties

    2B: Taylor .308 .379 .558 .937
    SS: Seager .291 .392 .486 .878
    3B: Turner .316 .403 .465 .868
    LF: Bellinger .278 .369 .657 1.026
    C : Grandal .267 .313 .492 .806
    RF: Puig .287 .353 .545 .899
    1B: Adrian .260 .303 .366 .670
    CF: Granderson .230 .349 .504 .853
    DH/PH: Barnes .338 .451 .500 .951

    Vs lefties

    LF: Taylor .315 .378 .528 .906
    SS: Seager .345 .406 .577 .984
    3B: Turner .398 .493 .746 1.239
    1B: Bellinger .270 .333 .533 .866
    2B: Logan .308 .448 .473 .921
    C : Barnes .256 .378 .524 .902
    CF: Kike .256 .360 .624 .984
    RF: Davis/Verdugo/Puig: .270 .336 .420 .756 (Davis)
    DH/PH: Grandal .250 .325 .389 .714

    The only plausible hole in the vs righties lineup is Adrian. I have no doubts that he will play at a better level going forward and cease to be a hole in the lineup.
    The big hole vs lefties is Puig. And I do not think he will hit much better vs lefties this year. We can either trade for a Rajai Davis who can be had for cheap or promote Verdugo and hope for the best.

    yeah and lets not forget what had to be a big factor in this trade
    we have a BLACK GUY on the team!!!
    no more of that "hey those Dodgers are racist" talks
    and besides being black he's actually a really good player!
    great news!

    Curtis is one of those guys that i think we all admired as a player and his reputation as a good dude really makes it better
    Another solid veteran that you just know is going to give you clutch ab's in big moments and be fully present on the field
    not sure a team can enough guys like that
    i have to say its 6 am and i'm just grinding for my next dose of this team
    i'm mainlining Dodger baseball
    its always been a huge part of my life but now i feel like i'm fully addicted and may need to go into a recovery group
    i want to be buried in a blue casket and i'm going to go full UCLAdodger and get my next tat
    anyone else up for it LOL
    i was thinking after the playoffs but i'm not sure maybe before

    Relying on an Ethier return never made a lick of sense, thank heavens..and if the result is Puig moving back down in the order, like there, even better
    Still have no idea if Puig is ready to do what he´s doing now, in the post season, against better pitching, and true high anxiety situations
    LAD is so far ahead in the standings right now that nothing´s really on the line on a nightly basis, every AB by every player should be chill AF, so it´s just hard to gauge situational performance at this point
    That changes the instant the post season begins and the whole season is then on the line, I can´t wait to see who´s able to keep cool..Yasmani better be on top of his shit, for one
    If not, they may flip the page to Barnes..maybe for good
    It´s Seager´s 3rd go round and he obviously opened the last post season like a beast, so I think this is the year for him to put it all together in OCT

    Jay Bruce proving to be a damn good, below the radar pickup for CLE
    He finally made it to the AL, probably about to become a DH god now

    I was just browsing Granderson's Wikipedia page. It says he grew up near Chicago but didn't like the Cubs. Why? Because he would rush home from school to watch Saved By The Bell and it made him mad when a Cubs game was on instead.

    That's awesome. Fuck the Cubs.

    I love the Granderson trade. We already had an amazing clubhouse and just added one of the best clubhouse guys in baseball. Forget the batting average, dude is always a tough out. I have this incredible feeling he is going to have a postseason moment.
