DODGERS NEWS/RUMORS/INJURIES Thread

his agent's gonna insist that Miami either pay him this winter or move him and the price is probably gonna be out of Miami's range. really, it's only fair..he's an MVP level guy..he should get Trout money ASAP and he has a right to be pissed if he doesn't get it. the more i think about it..the more i think Puig is going to Miami. Puig's on an absolutely BEAUTIFUL contract and MIA will be all smiles considering that.

it'd be hard giving up Puig and all the excitement and eyeballs glued to the screen that he brings, but Stanton does that as well. think you gotta make that offer.

 

Man, you guys are bored.

 

gone to Miami in the Puig/Stanton trade

 

indeed. can't help but be intrigued by all this Stanton news tho..we're seriously the safest bet as a landing spot for him if he leaves Miami

 

what do you guys think about Orel as a managerial option tho? can't remember who said it, but i'm all for a former pitcher or catcher running the team in the future. and the bulldog knows what it means to put on the blue. smart baseball guy as well. not sure how he'd do managing egos, but they could put a nice staff around him and blend well. keep McGwire on as " club-house security " of sorts. Lol

 

Man, anyone who thinks Ned is bad, read this article and see how this guy absolutely FUCKED the douche-BAGS. Unreal how good, young and powerful they could've been right around now.

He gutted the team and the farm system.

hard to blame Towers for Upton..Upton wanted out and then blocked a trade to Seattle so he could go team with his brother. Arizona was set to get Tijuan Walker in that blocked deal

 

I'd take Kevin Kennedy as manager

 

Dodger Farm system and one of each of our kidneys for Stanton.

 

Joc and Seager to Miami might be a possibility..LAD ownership's making a lot of their money back with Puig on the team. i wouldn't move Urias tho. i guess that would move Puig to CF permanently if they went that way in Stanton trade talks. Stanton in right and Kemp in left. add that to AGon and Dee at the top of the lineup..at that point i'd say we offer Guerrero to Baltimore for Wieters..they're gonna let Wieters go anyway and we gotta shore up catcher. hopefully Wieters' elbow is good to go and what not..he's supposed to be ready for opening day. that's a solid lineup. if they let Seager go to Miami, then i guess they'd be all in on moving Hanley to 3B and offer him a decent looking 4yr deal to finish up with us. how's this lineup look for next year?

a lot of pop, but a lot less youth and balance since we lose our lefties Joc and Seager. we'd pretty much be riding Stanton and Puig into the future and hoping the rest can stay healthy. not as good defensively either, but anytime you can have the potential to get 20HRs from your catcher in the 7-hole, your lineup is pretty strong.

 

so it's being reported that Ron Washington's resignation wasn't drug related..Ron over Don? former Dodger, played the game, plenty of managing experience, by all accounts a good guy...he's definitely made some managerial mistakes in his time tho.

 

yea, he had some huge gaffes in the World Series. there's gotta be somebody out there that can show Donnie Dum Dum the door

 

Tommy Windle, come on doooooooown

 

Yeah, I can't believe we've been rolling with 1 lefty for most of the season in the pen, and that doesn't look like it's going to change. I hope Paco can come back somehow. He's still got 3 weeks to work it out, I'm hoping.

 

Scott Elbert would be more likely
