    and you're a dick that can't handle being corrected...would rather have a pointless argument and throw your teenage/female-ish attitude around when what you said is in black and white. so it would seem as though Felecia lives within you. not me.

    unimportant things like that shouldn't worry you or anybody else ( but it will). we just better get good compensation on our end. the more suitors, the better. although, i think Seattle is probably a better match. Franklin and one of their better young arms.

    makes sense. the situation at 3B could have a trickle down effect. imagine if we had more holes to fill...that's when i'd be worried. more opportunity for Ned to fuck up.

    but say they get Uribe in for 3B and " lock in " the left side of the infield...does that mean they pass on say a Franklin and Paxton offer? if that's the offer on the table, signing Uribe would still be OK, but hey he might just be better off as a backup 3B/1B option behind a Hanley/AGon. i assume Franklin would get the play at SS ( and Paxton would make our rotation).

    2 NL teams, huh? not that i don't believe it, but a lot of these reports are obviously ploys to create some desperation/movement. wonder which lane this report fits into. Seattle's so desperate to protect Cano with a righty/star-level guy and create more buzz for their new TV deal. if the Dodgers are dead set on dealing Kemp, and Seattle misses on Nelson Cruz, we should probably throw a DSP party.

    Just keep Kemp ffs. He is frustrating as hell, but the potential if healthy is far better than Ethier or CC. They are glorified platoon players, not shit, fact.

    Four quality outfielders isn't a fucking problem, it's a plus. Selling Kemp at his lowest value for the sake of it is fucked up.

    Kemp can net the Dodgers significant pieces right now. If Kemp has another 2013 in 2014, or plays in 2014 and is the up and down player he's been his whole career, see what you can get for him next offseason. This isn't selling low, it's selling at his probable value. An above average player with great potential whose met that potential exactly once in seven seasons.

    i still don't understand the thinking that we as Dodgers fans are gonna be behind an eventual Kemp trade if Kemp goes out next year and plays like he did in 2011. " selling high " or " selling at peak value " is gonna piss fans off just as well. if Kemp were consistent and dominant, nobody's giving Ned any backslaps for trading an MVP-level contributor and nobody's buying that we couldn't afford to keep him either...thus, we want to keep that version of Kemp. so to me that whole scene is just unrealistic.

    we need to just embrace the new faction. Kemp and Ethier were a part of the McCourt era...we got behind them and they provided some highs and lows...they just may not figure into the GuggenGod's plans now that Puig/Hanley/AGon are around. Puig, for one, there's no bigger lightning rod in baseball, so he figures to be the face of our team going forward...what Kemp used to be. point being...you have all these big money guys around, some playing great and getting attention, some not playing well and losing attention...naturally toes are gonna be stepped on. didn't happen this year, may not happen next year, but the possibility for fracture is there. just like Kemp admitting before the season started last year that he prefers to hit in the 3-hole...well, that's Hanley's job now no questions asked...and then the next guy we pass that honor to is AGon ( while we prep Puig for the job).

    there's nothing wrong with playing the market as it is and taking advantage of it...we were the team that supposedly " got played " by Boston last year because we took on so much salary and look at what happened...both teams in the deal prospered. well, the Dodgers and Seattle could make a similar deal...not as a cash dump, however, Seattle being able to take on Kemp's money should play a minor role. but more in terms of Boston/LA sending away a significant piece that maybe just doesn't fit. get something good for the piece. saving money was good for Boston. Boston and Seattle share the desperation characteristic...Boston desperate to get out of those contracts, Seattle desperate to make good on a new TV deal and protect their Cano investment...we on the other hand are looking for younger/impact pieces that can help us win.

    Matt Kemp and Corey Seager for Nick Franklin and Mike Zunino...who says no? Kemp has the highest ceiling as far as 2014 production goes of course ( and probably '15 as well). and then there's the issue of Seattle maybe not seeing Seager as a SS, however, the idea of eventually pairing him with his brother Kyle on the left side just might interest them. " The Seagers "

    Dodgers get a couple of young talents. extending Hanley and gaining a young SS in Franklin would block Seager, so why not unload Seager for Zunino? bring Zunino up for the '15 season and hand him the catching job.

    here's your young/everyday group surrounding Hanley/AGon/CC after the 2014 season: Yasiel Puig @ RF, Alex Guerrero @ 2B, Joc Pederson @ CF, Nick Franklin @ SS, Mike Zunino @ catcher. that's getting younger...supposedly what they wanna do.

    • The Dodgers are getting "plenty of action" on Kemp in Orlando this week, but say they're unlikely to finalize a trade at the Winter Meetings, tweets Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

    I see Mark Mulder is attempting a comeback after watching Paco's delivery. I can safely assume he will be in the Dodgers camp this Spring. Ned can't resist a retread. In MM's case, why not?

    hmmm...
    Sources: AL Cy Young winner Max Scherzer "definitely in play" in trade talks. Nothing imminent, but teams know he can be had.

    The Dodgers say no. Why include anybody especially a guy who is pretty much untouchable in Seager when Kemp and us eating significant salary should be enough. We are not desperate to compliment Cano the M's are that team. It snould be 2 for 1 Kemp for Zunino and another prospect. We have a black hole at 3rd and Corey is the closest we have right now. The clue is in the Uribe talks in which we are talking 1 year plus an option for Juan.

    wow. i didn't see that post coming. i thought most everybody would say Seager isn't enough to get the M's to throw in Zunino.

    well, for 1) Zunino is a #3 overall draft pick and a catcher, so he has a good amount of value and is just about major league ready. he's ahead of Seager right now in terms of development. nobody even knows what position Seager will stick at yet. the whole idea is based on moving Hanley to 3B and having Uribe to back him up there, so that's no black hole...it's actually a road block on where people think Seager will wind up playing.
