Escobar is Milton Bradley 2.0
It is going to be weird if we just stop caring about money. I don't know if it is going to be as much fun. Being smarter and more effiecient than other teams really added value to the baseball season for me.
Is Ethier hurt or just not good after a typical hot start?
@LA Woman The one thing missing from this is the response of the guy who was replaced. Hearing about the change in dynamics for a guy who just about lost his job would have been very interesting.
@Mike Petriello Is it possible that there is a scenario where your team is down by more runs than an HR would provide where the expected run value of having runners on exceeds the expected run value for an inning where you hit the HR? So essentially you trade the chance at 1 or 2 runs for the increased chance of 3 or 4? Also Norwegian Women's Handball team is super hot.
@Cadtalfryn @Mike Petriello I thought there were parking garages that go mostly unused at the stadium? I recall some articles about how they plowed under a park for garages no one uses.
Ok so its incredibly unlikely. Still, Seattle has one of the few GMs who may not totally rip Colletti off.
@VietnamDodger yeah. but he could always force a trade to play with his brother. that happens in baseball right?
So my new random guy i would like to see us get is Kyle Seager. .167/.275/.264 at home and .313/.343/.548 on the road this year. Seattle is so far from contending they may be willing to move him and he might not cost all that much. Plus he is young and under control for years.
Eithier. actually with the state of catching AJ Ellis might bring something. Someone is always intersted in overpaying for bullpen help.
@Mike Petriello @Chris Jackson Oh this would be way too smart for Ned to do. It would be like getting McDonald for Dotel.
I really wish we were trading eithier for some good prospects. is it too late to do that?
@Deuce I like the thinking in this post. The dodgers should be looking to pick up a bunch of these types of guys. Find all the "change of scenery" guys and you might actually get some real value. Another name is Dom Brown from PHI who was a top 10 prospect last year. Get guy who are still young but have fallen out of favor.
I dont get why people are so enamored with Headley. I have seen him play a lot and yes he plays solid d and is an upgrade but he isnt going to be a star. Solid role player but to get him we are going to have to pay a lot.
