    So now you are trading a top 20 OF for a full part time catcher and some prospects... NICE!

    Grandal also plays 1B, which will bring some value as well with AGon getting older. but yea.." platoon " if you will @ catcher and a good shot to hit 10-15HRs. he rakes at Dodger Stadium and he has pop against righties..to which we know there are more righties in MLB, so he'll get ABs.

    or should i say he WOULD get enough ABs. no deal yet.

    Tigers Focused On Retaining Max Scherzer
    By Jeff Todd [December 9, 2014 at 1:39pm CST]
    The Tigers are focused on retaining starter Max Scherzer, ESPN.com’s Buster Olney reports on Twitter. Detroit is “prepared to spend big” to do so, Olney adds.





    always thought that made sense. i mean they're all in with old VMart and Miggy. Price is probably gone after next year though..but maybe not. certainly one of Price or Porcello.

    but there's a team right there that's a prime example of how having all the big arms and big bats don't mean a damn thing. hope Friedman can find the missing ingredient.

    trading kemp for an average catcher and unproven prospect is fucken stupid
    what does it accomplish?... regression by subtraction?
    all this talk that we're the dodgers and other teams are afraid of us is such fucken bullshit

    • The Orioles are out on Kemp, sources tell Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun. Baltimore had concerns with Kemp’s long-term health and talks went nowhere after the Dodgers asked about young pitchers Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy.

    if AGon ever sits, it's probably against a lefty. which means SVS is in for Crawford in LF..switch hitter Grandal @ 1B..Ellis behind the plate. lineup loaded with righties.

    I'll be mad if we trade Kemp for Grandal and a pitcher we slot into the #4 and that's that

    If we flip that pitcher for a hitter, and then buy a pitcher, cool

    If trading Kemp is necessary to buy a pitcher cause of ownership, probably mad for a different reason but yeah

    Will say there seems like a very legit chance 2015 starts without Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier. Both with flaws, one more then the other no doubt, but how weird and emotional would that be

    a 1B backup with pop... I present you Scott VanSlyke...

    as for the ABs, he would play against RHP on days Kershaw doesnt pitch, cuz I bet AJ stays as his personal catcher... the trade still makes no sense to me...
