    the only thing about that is that Uribe was playin out of his mind as well last year and Dee had his role/was an all-star, so it was just tough for that to happen. Turner was doin well in his role..everything was cool. it's not tough to crack right now, though, because Uribe's playing so poorly. different circumstances.

    in hindsight, benching Dee may have hurt his value and look at everything they ended up with in that deal.



    i think his point was moreso about Guerrero not having that kind of work on file yet. 322 PAs doesn't get Turner the crown, agreed there, but of course Guerrero's had a lot less PAs than that. again, that's not Guerrero's fault..he probably would've gotten called up earlier last year without the incident occuring and he's only hit wherever he's been. he deserves a shot.

    if they wanna make a " big boy move " right now..that move would be to DFA Uribe..and i wouldn't expect that to happen at all, let alone this early. but i'm just sayin. if they wanted to do what needs to be done in a Al Pacino/Godfatherly type of way..send Fredo aka Uribe fishin.



    i agree with every bit of that.

    That quote was alarming. Our manager rides the short bus to the stadium.

    and i hated to use it because Uribe's done nothin to cross us..he only finally turned the corner on Old Man Lane. under different circumstances they wouldn't have to take him fishing..we all love the dude.

    • Heyman echoes ESPN’s Buster Olney in speculating that the Dodgers could make a run at extending Howie Kendrick, noting that the Dodgers love Kendrick both on the field and in the clubhouse. He also notes that the Dodgers are impressed with Alex Guerrero‘s bat and may coming around on him as a passable option at third base or in left field, though the team is already well-stocked at each position.


    OK, how's about this?..lets send both Ethier and CC fishing instead of Uribe and open LF up a bit.

    would you all be behind those moves? not that they could happen..if. if they could happen. or do you think it's too early or that the clubhouse would be effected? hmm.

    trading dre would probably be beneficial to both him and the team
    i think he's well liked in the clubhouse, but not necessarily a leader
    unfortunately neither he nor carl are very tradable with what's owed them

    Looks like Sergio Santos is there with the Dodgers. With him and Cedeno up, Bolsinger will go down for one and wonder who gets sent down for the other.

    Again, I think it's too early to make a trade just because, or to DFA someone. No one is knocking on the door for a spot on the roster in LF/3B. We should be open to redefining player roles and giving some bench guys who are outperforming starters, some more starts. But unless something falls in our laps, trade/DFA talk can wait a couple months.

    that's exactly why, for me, Uribe's alias is now Juan Rojas. he should come in late for defensive purposes only. it's not an ideal role for an older guy, but gotdamnit that's all i can come up with for him. Hah

    He can also be used as a PH wildcard for "bunting" runners over:
