Logan White To Interview With Mets, But Has New Deal With Dodgers

PrintAfter a few weeks of speculation about his future, Logan White's path appears set for the immediate future. White will interview to be GM of the Mets, writes Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times, but...
White will be back with the Dodgers next season in his present role if he isn’t hired by the Mets. With his current two-year contract set to expire this year, White has reached an agreement with the Dodgers on terms of a new deal.
White interviewed last month for the general manager position in Arizona, which was eventually filled by Kevin Towers. White also interviewed for the Astros' GM job three years ago. His current contract was set to expire at the end of October, per Tony Jackson of ESPN LA.
White joined the Dodgers in 2002, as director of amateur scouting, a position he held for five seasons. Of the 49 players who played for the 2010 Dodgers, 15 were either drafted or signed by White. White's calling card has been the draft, which he has overseen all nine years with the Dodgers.
His best drafts were his first two, as 15 players drafted and signed by the Dodgers in 2002 and 2003 eventually made the major leagues, including Chad Billingsley, Matt Kemp, Russell Martin, James Loney, and Jonathan Broxton.
White also played a significant role in the signings of Takashi Saito and Hiroki Kuroda, going so far as to say of Kuroda, "I put my reputation on the guy. He's legit."
Rumors swirled in the last two weeks about White's future with the Dodgers with some tweets...
by Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus:
Some rumors starting to swirl about the #Dodgers and Logan White; or rather, Logan White and no longer with the #Dodgers.
and Jim Callis of Baseball America:
Planning on working for the team until he's told otherwise. @thinkblue1194: What has Logan White said about his future with the Dodgers.
Last week, Molly Knight of ESPN caught up with White:
Text from Logan White: "I am still with Dodgers in same capacity."
Logan White: "I can't say whether there's a new contract or not. At this moment I'm still a Dodger. I wish I could say more, but I can't."
Jackson on ESPN LA today offered an explanation of the recent White rumors:
Those rumors appear to have been the result of confusing White with another Southern California amateur-scouting chief. The Los Angeles Angels had fired their scouting director, Eddie Bane, along with three of his scouts, on Sept. 29.
That doesn't pass the sniff test to me. If a source can't distinguish between the two "Los Angeles" teams, that source simply isn't reputable, for not doing enough due diligence to figure out the correct rumor du jour. Perhaps we would be better off not worrying about rumors at all. Wake me when actual news hits.

Best I've ever been
is a 16. I suck at golf
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man
A 16 would put you in the 90th percentile of golfers.
If most played by the rules and actually scored to keep a handicap, most aren’t a 16.
A 16 is not bad.
My best score, no best lies, no mulligans
is 89 at Wilson (Griffith Park) course. Needed to to shoot 1 over to break 90 on the last two holes and got it.
Now, I probably would struggle to break 100 at Alhambra (Exec course but not bad)
awesoke
but isn’t everyone at Brookside the whites?
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Wilson, IIRC
is a fairly long course. I have never broken 100, but I don’t play but sporadically, and never practiced the short game like I should have.
Now, I was going to break 100 one time as Los Verdes, but we ran out of daylight on 16 …….
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I really suck at golf; I could probably fire an 82
in 13 holes or so, and have two beers killed by the time you get to the clubhouse.

I only played the Burbank 9 hole

Most Pysch majors

This surprises me not at all.
Psychology is a major that should, in fact, be reserved for people who are going to go on to grad school and try to help people. The world does, in fact, need more therapists.
But often it’s a major for undergrads who don’t know what else to major in. One chick I know had to take Psych Stats three times — she couldn’t pass it, but insisted that Psych was her major. She couldn’t handle the math. I’m no math expert, but I’ve heard that Psych stats really isn’t all that difficult…

No surprise, but here's the go-to talking point for the Dodgers' offseason
…at least among people that don’t follow the Dodgers on a regular basis. From NBC Sports:
“If it’s more Jamey Carroll-level “splashes” and Vicente Padilla extensions between now and February, people are going to be turned off."
In other words, it wasn’t the epic 2nd half failure of the core that led to the Dodgers poor season, but the failure to spend money last offseason. This, of course, is particularly unfair to Padilla and Carroll (especially Carroll), given how well they played.
That statement is probably more true than not though, given that there are far more holes to fill this year. Insert jokes here.

That Werth isnt better than Crawford, or that he’ll get more money?
Crawford’s a speed guy that relies on triples…and as he slows down (going into his 30s),..how effective can he be? I’d be very leery of bringing a speed-centric batter entering his 30s into Dodger blue…especially since DS suppresses doubles/triples.
Yeah, Crawford gets hurt more than Werth at DS, but he’s three years younger and plays better defense. Plus Werth has a lot of old player skills, those don’t age too well either.

Wouldnt “speed” be the one skill that for sure will not age well though?
Old guys slow down.
Old guys that know the strike zone…we’ll you usually dont lose that.
Crawford doesn’t quite have the OPS of Werth this year, but it is closer than I thought, .851-.921.
Crawford does play quality D and stole 30 something more bases.
He averages a triple every 12 games, not exactly a crutch he relies on. :)

OK people
If I switch from cable, and want TV plus internet only, should I get DirecTV or Verizon Fios?
I won’t be purchasing the NFL Sunday Ticket package, so that’s not a factor.
Fios is 84.99 for the two of TV and Internet, FWIW. Then 5.99 per standard tv box, or 9.99 for HD box, 15.99 for HDDVR, 19.99 for Multi room HDDVR.
Should be 7 TVs free to install as well still.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
The good thing about FiOS isn’t really the TV, though you get about 220 channels with that 84.99 deal (make sure to check out the channels first, some channels you’d assume would be in there might not be). The best part about FiOS is the internet. For the lowest deal (84.99) you get 15 MB speed internet, which is literally about 30 times faster than my crappy ATT internet I’ve got at my house.
It just so happens i live in the part of simi valley that does not have any type of fiber optic internet access, so I get a step over dial up, lol.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
I am leaning heavily toward that…also no dish required.
by Eric Stephen on Oct 12, 2010 7:20 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, it's likely a better deal all around
Things you may want to know that you might not have known:
-Installation can take 4-6 hours (that’s what they tell you to say to the customer)
-You might get lucky and get a 2 hour window during the day where they might show up, but likely it’s an 8-5 window and they could come any time, though they call first on your contact number (though not home number.
-Normally the earliest you will get installed is a week after you order it, but it would be about 2 weeks if you were getting phone, so that will shorten the time inbetween.
-You can choose between a 2 year contract and a month to month contract, but the price guarantee is only for 1 year with the month to month contract rather than 2 for the 2 year contract. Likely the price won’t change much after 1 year, and it might even be lower, but the price could theoretically go higher. But checking the price from summer of 2009 to now, the price is actually cheaper.
It’s weird, I think I kind of miss my old job. Lol.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Fios is not available where I live, but I’ve house sat where it is and the internet really is great.

Was it ever publicized if the Dodgers actually made an offer to David Price when they drafted him? I wonder if they ever thought they had a chance at getting him since they did take him.
WSJ article last week
White was quoted as saying they didn’t think they had a shot but he asked Tommy to call him.
Though
other places seem to indicate that Price didn’t even know he was drafted, the industry consensus was that he was always going to school.

Kudos to the Rays for fighting back, more than you can say for the other three teams in the DS, but ultimately the better team, currently, won. Yankees won’t have it easy. Cliff Lee will pitch game 2 I assume?
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Lee will probably pitch 3rd game

ALCS starts Friday night, NLDS starts Saturday. Radio broadcast says he will start opening game at Yankee Stadium

does anyone dare dump champangne over Nolan’s head?

It looks like the Rangers are spraying ginger ale in the clubhouse so Hamilton can take part. Cool move.
that is cool

Question
is Hamilton on probation or something? Can he actually not physically be within a certain distance of alcohol

I think
it’s a matter of him not trusting himself. One taste, and he’s like Frank the Tank from Old School, running down the streets of St Petersburg, asking Ron Washington if the KFC is still open.

The Cruz Double was complete bull shit on multiple levels, didn't see that til now
1. No call on strike 3
2. Cruz is a tool for looking at that batted ball
3. Hes even dumber for stealing third, I know he was safe but hes out 9 of 10 times
4. TB sucks for not throwing him out

Before I met her they talked to each other on aim like 4 years ago
Apparently he seemed like kind of a jerk, and she’s held a grudge ever since. If women are great at one thing (it’s definitely not driving, BAM!), it’s holding a grudge for no reason.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Definitely not, lol.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
id bet if its not pictures
it was hardcore flirting and then the switch was flipped and they hate each other
I'm thinking he TRIED to get something going, and was a bit of ajerk about it
and she wasn’t going for it, because she’s not like that. Either way, it was 4 years ago, people change in that amount of time, lol.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"

Where do Crawford and Pena go?
Yankees can’t afford both Crawford and Lee can they?
though…opulence, they has it.

I remember thinking that in the 08 offseason...that worked out real well for us too, lol
Angels should go hard after Crawford, I would like to see that. The Yankees can have Lee, might as well. I still think they are the best team in baseball overall.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Possibly Red Sox
The Mets are always a possibility. The Tigers could be a wildcard in all of this because they are shedding tons of payroll.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
I don't think they're the best team in baseball though certainly close
and adding Lee to go with Sabathia would be very tough to face. After that you have Hughes who is a good young pitcher and then what? Also as dangerous as their lineup appears this year, don’t they have guys getting old who are nearly done? So it depends on whether they can fill those roles with free agents or how ready some prospects are. basically they’re a great team but I see some potential holes for them next year.

I just bought NBA 2k11
This game is freaking awesome so far. The first game you play afterstartup is game 7 of the 91 finals, and you are the Bulls. Magic is killing me so far in the first quarter.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Definitely none taken
I’m just psyched to see these teams playing each other in a game, it really makes me wish I were old enough to have appreciated the NBA in the 90s, it must have been epic to watch.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
The 1980s was where it was at, my friend.
Perhaps at one of the TBLA rumored get togethers, we should have several Lakers championship videos playing in the background. Or maybe, for a broader appeal, NBA Superstars :)
by Eric Stephen on Oct 12, 2010 9:57 PM PDT up reply actions
That’s true, for a Lakers themed party you’d have to go with the 80s. I just know one thing, it would be a hell of a time watching Magic do his thing, my dad says either Magic or Jerry West are the best NBA player he’s ever seen.

Thanks
I see that Vegas already has an early line out on Game #1 of the NLCS. The have the Phillies -166/+165 (or 62.3% win prob), my early run on the sim has the Phillies at 59.0%. I also have the Rangers at 50.4% on Game #1 and I am pretty sure that Vegas will have the Yankees as favorites, my guess is that the Bronx money has the Yankees at around 56% in the first game.
I am guessing
that this is the first time Lincecum has been such an underdog since his rookie season.
by bhsportsguy on Oct 12, 2010 10:41 PM PDT up reply actions
Lincecum odds
2010 Season only
Highest odds as starter: 72.97%, May 26 Washington vs San Francisco, Luis Atiliano vs Tim Lincecum. Washington won that game.
Lowest odds as a starter: 39.37% … August 21st Giants vs Cardinals, (a struggling) Tim Lincecum vs Chris Carpenter. Cardinals won that game.
So Game #1 of the NLCS will likely be a 2010 low for him.
Surprised to see CC an underdog at home.
by Eric Stephen on Oct 12, 2010 11:02 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
ok, thanks
had me confused for a second there. If it was in New York it would be around a 9% switch on the win probability due to HFA. One team gaining around 4.5% and the other losing it.
