Ted Lilly Appears Headed Back To Dodgers

Ted Lilly, who was drafted by the Dodgers in 1996, looks to be back in Dodger blue for the foreseeable future.

It appears Ted Lilly will return to the Dodgers, for as many as three more seasons.

Per Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times:

Source: Ted Lilly has agreed to terms of a new deal with the #Dodgers. Physical scheduled for next week.

This was an expected move, as the Dodgers and Lilly have expressed a willingness to continue their relationship pretty much ever since the Dodgers acquired Lilly on July 31 from the Cubs.

The tweet by Hernandez followed an earlier report from Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports:

Source: #Dodgers, Lilly close on 3-year contract. Announcement could come as soon as Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

Lilly, who was acquired with second baseman Ryan Theriot and $2.5 million from the Cubs for Blake DeWitt, Brett Wallach, and Kyle Smit, went 7-4 with a 3.52 ERA in 12 starts with the Dodgers. Last year was the final season of a four-year, $40 million contract that Lilly signed with the Cubs before the 2007 season.

I thought that was mostly because Wolf was bad and then was good if not great in 2009 and then crashed back down to earth. Has Lilly just been baed throughout his career too? If so, my Cubs fan friend is a LIAR.

by StolenMonkey86 on Oct 16, 2010 6:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

Wolf was never bad. He just pitched over his head.

Lilly certainly isn’t bad either, but like Wolf his ERA significantly outpeformed his peripherals.

Per x-FIP
Wolf 2009: 4.17
Lilly 2010: 4.16.

And Lilly is entering his age 35 season.

by Michael White on Oct 16, 2010 6:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

Wolf was not bad

but he has had an inconsistent career. Lilly has been very good but the velocity did drop this year, and he’s old. A one year deal would be great, two year okay, three year is probably going to be a throw away year where were paying for him while he’s fishing.

by meercatjohn on Oct 16, 2010 6:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

To be fair

Lilly’s walk rates have been marvelously low for the last 4 years. And for what it’s worth, his fastball was 1.4 mph faster in LA than Chicago on average.

by StolenMonkey86 on Oct 16, 2010 6:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

True

He will need to keep those walk rates at that level to continue to be successful. I like Lilly so while I’m not a fan of any three year deal, I’m very glad he’s locking up into this rotation.

Bring back Kuroda and we go from there.

Dodgers will never blow up anything

as long as Frank is at the helm. He simply cannot afford it, nor can his season ticket holders.

Craig I heard from several field box season ticket holders that they are giving up their field box seats and moving up to the infield reserve. It will be interesting how this plays out, as some fans find they can cut their season ticket bill by 66%, still have seats.

Everyone apprently missed it the first time.

I’m overreacting here, but Lilly is a mid 30’s pitcher who fastball clocks in the mid 80s on most nights. I rather the money spent on Lilly go to a player that can actually create more value than the normal player like Lee, or Crawford. Yes, I know that’s unrealistic, but giving Lilly whatever he gets before FA even happens to see what he can actually get on the market is freaking near sighted.

What I’m most pissed about is that his damn agent bluffed with the 3 years, and Ned Colletti blinked and then decided to throw in the next pot too.

I was on a streetcar heading home when the game ended and drunk Giants fans got on and then the driver announced the score (well at least it put him in a good mood, he gave some people free fares), people cheered, etc. Whatever. It could be a long series, or it could feel like one to me. If the Phillies lose to the Giants the impossible will happen in another sense: I will hate them even more than I thought I could.

to clarify

a) I realize it wasn’t the pitching’s fault we sucked.
b) I was specifically refering to how terrible it was to see Haeger, Ortizii, Monk, Ely, et al run out there.
c) I appreciate Ely’s string of great starts more than anyone because he is a very similar pitcher to how I was and shows me that if I didn’t get hurt that there would have been a chance to hear Vin call my name. I hated watching each of his starts because I knew with his stuff if he wasn’t locating perfectly he was going to get rocked.

that dominos commericial

with the people in the room and then suddenly the walls open up and reveal they are at a farm…. didn’t they KNOW they were in a building on a farm when they, um, entered it? do these commercials think we are stupid (probably yes)

Or, more importantly, didn’t they notice they were being towed?

Give me $10,000, and I wouldn’t notice anything.

How big? For example, one executive said a package of outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury [stats], infielder Jed Lowrie and first base prospect Anthony Rizzo would not be enough. Would the Red Sox even consider such a deal in the first place? Assuming they would and it would not be sufficient, the names of starter Casey Kelly or shortstop Jose Iglesias will start to get mentioned.

This OAK/SF game is sloppy as shit

by Michael White on Oct 17, 2010 3:02 PM PDT reply actions  

I thought I had a huge break today when Gates went down in my fantasy matchup. Speaking of TE matchups only. Good to see whoever is playing QB for Oakland refusing to involve their best player.

ugh

by keithc13 on Oct 17, 2010 3:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

It’s Campbell playing for OAK.

Strange since he looked for Miller basically every single play last weekend.

by Michael White on Oct 17, 2010 3:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

Miller has been solid all year.

by keithc13 on Oct 17, 2010 3:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

I just happened to check the box score

Campbell completed a 22-yard pass to Miller (Miller’s first catch of the day), and that gave Campbell a whopping 50 yards passing on the day, with 10 minutes left in the game.

by Eric Stephen on Oct 17, 2010 3:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

And just completed another one.

It’s as though somebody shook him in the huddle and reminded him that it is okay to throw to your good tight end.

by Michael White on Oct 17, 2010 3:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

and then a 26-yarder to Miller to push Campbell to 76.

You’re welcome, Keith :)

Giving up 64-yard runs to the opponent when you are trying to keep their lead at one point is not advisable.

Yo Keith

Thanks for the heads up on Heartbreak Ridge on Blue Ray. Alas, I am the last house in Orange County to have a blue ray player so I will have to wait.

As a SEC guy, what’s your opinion of the conference this year? Over the past few years it has been very top heavy, but this year I don’t see much strength at the top. Some of the middle of the pack has gotten better (Arkansas, South Carolina), but some have dropped (Tennessee, Georgia). Florida looks marginal, and LSU is the luckiest team in the country.

Your thoughts?

by KellyStephen on Oct 17, 2010 4:00 PM PDT reply actions  

Is this sarcasm?

This battle was had in this thread last night.

by Michael White on Oct 17, 2010 4:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

Had a kid thing last night, wasn’t on and typically don’t go back.

I respect Keith’s opinion, given he’s a local, and that’s why i asked.

by KellyStephen on Oct 17, 2010 4:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

Not giving you a hard time. Just asking if it was sarcasm because that would have been funny.

It would be like asking me what I think about x-FIP or James Loney

by Michael White on Oct 17, 2010 4:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

FWIW I never take offense when something comes from you. I was just explaining the question.

Speaking of Loney, I hope he starts 140+ games at 1B for Los Doyers this year.

by KellyStephen on Oct 17, 2010 4:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

And yes, Eric, that was “FU”.

by KellyStephen on Oct 17, 2010 4:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think Alabama is still as good as any team in the country. Auburn has no pass defense, but is good against the run and has a great QB. I think they could play with anyone. LSU is garbage on offense, no doubt. But their defense is the real deal. Arkansas and South Carolina are okay. Arkansas has very little defense. Mississippi State is weird. They are getting better, but still not that good. Georgia and Tennessee are young and not very good. Florida sucks. Fuck them. Vandy Kentucky and Ole Piss are trash.

Overall, it is a really good conference. As far as ranking the conference, it is a toss up between the Pac 10, SEC, and Big 10. I think the Big 10 is a little underrated.

by keithc13 on Oct 17, 2010 4:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

Thanks. Didn’t think about Mississippi St, or Ole Miss for that matter.

My conference rankings would be:

1. Pac 10
2. SEC
3. Big 12
3. Big 10
58. ACC
63. Big East

Top teams in both SEC and Pac 10 pretty equal, but i think the lower guys are stronger in the Pac 10 this year. (But if you want WSU you can have them.) Big 10 is a bunch of middle of the road guys with no real power.

Next 2 months will be a lot of fun.

by KellyStephen on Oct 17, 2010 4:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

If Alabama gets another shot at the national championship with one loss while an undefeated team is not in it, then the BCS can finally die. Because it will finally put the myth that college football is a ‘playoff’ game every week.

No it’s not if a team can a ‘better’ conference can suffer a loss, but a team from another conference is out of the title race before week one starts.

by Tripon on Oct 17, 2010 4:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

Why would this year be any different then Utah going undefeated in 2008 and not playing in the National Title game?

I guess Boise started from a higher rank, but that’s really the only difference.

by Michael White on Oct 17, 2010 4:17 PM PDT up reply actions  

No arguement here.

I’m telling you to get prepared. If there are 2 undefeated teams left after Championship weekend, and they play in Boise Idaho and Ft Worth Texas, and Alabama wins the SEC with one loss, prepare yourself to be mad.

Not fair, but it will happen.

That also means that Auburn, LSU, Michigan St, Oklahoma, Oklahoma ST, Missouri, and Oregon would have to lose too.

by keithc13 on Oct 17, 2010 4:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

1 loss Alabama would obviously require LSU and Auburn lose.

Only 1 can come out of Oklahoma, OK St and Missouri unscathed and I still think Nebraska wins that conference (so no undefeated Big 12 champ.)

Michigan State has a nice schedule (no Ohio State) to go through undefeated.

I’m on record in thinking Oregon loses at least once.

by Michael White on Oct 17, 2010 4:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

I was just listing the undefeateds in the big boy conferences.

Bama still plays LSU and Auburn.

I agree with you about Nebraska.

Michigan St may win out. ugh

I don’t think Oregon loses and they play BSU or MSU for it all.

Oregon will beat either of them easily.

by keithc13 on Oct 17, 2010 4:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

Oregon lost to Boise State last year.

I get that Oregon is better this year but so is Boise.

I was messing around with Google Maps today to look for directions to a job interview on Monday. Freaky how you can zoom in at the street level and make out details like street numbers. A stalker or pedophile can easily abuse this if he wanted to.
