DODGERS acquire PERALTA from RAYS

Getting Peralta in the pitcher-friendly NL West should help.

 

giving up Dominguez for a 39 year old reliever :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

losing Onelki and Dominguez in 1 day bullshit, young power arms out the window

 

smh

 

Guys who throw hard, but can't throw strikes (especially Dominguez) BFD.

The best of the group are still around in Yimi and Baez.

 

I hope the NL West averages out Peralta's HR issues, I think it will, I hope it will.

 

Another thing, i'll take Peralta at 1/2.5 (with 2 team options @ 2.5) over Gregerson, Neshek or Romo at 3/15+.

 

Both were always hurt and IMO I think Garcia's hype came from the Cuba stuff. I didn't think he was that good lol

 

Good insight Chris.
Not earth shaking in scope, these recent moves, but I guess we have to quietly accept that mindset, and wink knowingly, considering the brilliance we all hear about so often about the assembled NerdCo. Sounds all so very "in linish". But for what line?
These I suspect will be rated as clever little moves, borne of salary attractiveness and potential. But we still have monumental holes to fill, and those will test the mettle, IMO.
I'm still trying to get the Zach Lee magnificence, though. I know in 2013 he won the something something award in the minors, but in '14 he was 7-13 with a 5.38 ERA?
Even down there, can you get that excited over his addition? And the little I've actually seen him throw, I thought him underwhelming. Then again, I scratch my head over why Bumgarden so difficult to hit..We all knew we were going to get changes, and invariably, some of them aren't going to be what we like.
I'm still waiting for the big change at you know where.

 

what i suggested they do about a month ago. hopefully it's Wilson..he's the one that can't touch 90 anymore and wants a bigger role for future contract purposes. give him a big adios or try to include him in a trade. Detroit might take him.

at least League can still hit 95 on the gun with good action and embraces whatever role he's given. and last i checked..League didn't give up a run in 4 appearances in the post season.

i think he has one more in him..as far as the bullpen goes anyway.

 

Dominguez sucks. He doesn't throw strikes and even his speed doesn't fool anyone when he does throw strikes.

 

Throw Baez in there as well until that guy learns an off speed pitch.

 

The team options on Peralta are nice incentive. He isn't great but not being committed for several years makes this a wise decison

 

Dominguez is also a young kid, has to time to improve to go with the great raw skills...oh well

 

Dominguez, theoretically could be around for a very long time...Peralta, not so much at all. Jose does have time to develope what he needs....more control, a secondary out pitch, it's all true....a good pitching coach can lead this kid down the path to success.All scouts bring a radar gun when they look at a prospect these days, and 103 MPH lights them up, justified criteria or not.
Peralta seems in the vein of the Hernandez/Correia type move, which proved to be not so great, although the RP aspect is less of a killer if he sucks, like the other two did; he can be hidden or whatever, a lot easier than a guy who has to take his turn in the rotation.
Someone posted "I guess Ned is an advisor....and that was correct , on this one anyway. Typical Nedish move, but it's gonna happen more than once with these guys in Defcon 5 trade mode that guys we all like for one reason or another get sent packing.
Time will be the judge of this transaction...
