Dodgers Trade Theriot To Cardinals For Hawksworth

in Los Angeles Dodgers Roster

On the same day the Dodgers made the Juan Uribe signing official, which meant Ryan Theriot's days with the club were numbered, the Dodgers traded the second baseman to the Cardinals for pitcher Blake Hawksworth. Theriot was a likely non-tender candidate by Thursday night's deadline, as he was set to make somewhere north of $3.5 million in 2011.
Hawksworth, who will be 28 on March 1, will likely be a candidate for the swingman role in the bullpen next year. In two seasons with the Cardinals, he has 67 relief appearances and eight starts, with a 4.07 ERA over 130 1/3 innings. He averages 5.6 strikeouts, 3.5 walks, and 1.2 home runs per nine innings in his brief career. Hawksworth was drafted by St. Louis in the 28th round in 2001, and won't be arbitration eligible until 2013. Hawksworth is out of options, as he used options in 2007, 2008, and 2009.
Here is the obligatory mad libs quote from Ned Colletti on Hawksworth: “Blake adds Major League experience to our staff and has the versatility to start or relieve. We will continue to try and add Major League caliber pitchers to our roster throughout the winter.”
And, more Ned on Uribe: "Juan provides us with a big bat in the middle of the infield and can change a game with one swing. His versatility is a huge asset, as he can play second base, third base and shortstop and he’s a two-time World Champion, so he knows what it takes to win.”
The Dodgers 40-man roster now stands at 39 players.

Boggs is probably better, but I wouldn’t trade Ryan Theriot for him.
by regfairfield on Nov 30, 2010 1:06 PM PST up reply actions
I don't suppose I could argue that
for someone the team was going to cut without getting any compensation and that he did pick up a middle reliever/swingman who could just as easily be serviceable considering the history of middle relievers is a really good use of resources.
Plus, it saves them maybe one less perusal down the middle reliever aisle next week.
But if you want to make fun, go ahead.
I wasn’t. I was just saying that Boggs was too good of a player to get in return here. Getting anything for Theriot is awesome.
by regfairfield on Nov 30, 2010 1:22 PM PST up reply actions
I think he meant if he were the STL GM, he wouldn’t trade Boggs for Ryan Theriot.

I was just about to ask that. I think he will probably compete with Shlichting and Link for the longman role.
No he won't
He’s out of options, so like 2010 monk, you know Mattingly will keep him until his ERA is above 15.00

He is out
Hawksworth used options in 2007, 2008, and 2009

I wish
the phrase “knows what it takes to win” would be banned. Everyone knows what it takes to win – scoring more runs than your opponent.
Hawksworth started giving up a lot more homers in AAA, which is not that unbelievable for the PCL. What is unbelievable is that a city on the east side of the Mississippi can be part of the Pacific Coast League.
I think Memphis in PCL is worse

when you consider the PCL is a combination of the old PCL and the Continental League (was that it?) it’s less a misnomer and more a league in need of a rebranding but that doesn’t want to lose the connection to the PCL of old

Some Info
Scouting report from BA in winter of 2008, headed into 2009 Blake was rated number 14.
14. Blake Hawksworth RHP…..25…..2001 (28) high school (WA)
Strengths: Plus 79-82 MPH change-up and 88-93 MPH four-seam fastball. Command. Arm strength/action. Athletic/projectable frame
Weaknesses: Rotation of 72-74 MPH curveball
Comments: Athletic pitcher finally achieved full health, but base skills declined across board. Repeats ¾ delivery with gives him above average command and ability to change speeds. Fastball has velocity, but stayed straight and curveball was inconsistent. Will have to learn to pitch to contact.
2008 MLB Role: Spot starter/middle reliever
Potential Rating: 7C
You can be (incompetent and a nice guy), you can be (competent and an asshole), but if you are an (asshole and incompetent), your only future is to be Keith's boss otherwise you are unemployable
As a spot starter, better than Monasterios and Ely I imagine.

1. No complaints on Theriot trade. In fact, good on him.
2. I like the idea of Damon. He’s a poor man’s Crawford, marketable, and will bat #2.
3. Pancho exchange was pretty classic.
Carry on!

Considering that Ryan Theroit was probably on his way out...
It’s not a bad thing to acquire a so-so reliever.
Pretty much. He was simply going to be non-tendered anyway. Getting an actual baseball player for him is fantastic.
by Michael White on Nov 30, 2010 1:20 PM PST up reply actions
Well
fantastic would mean he makes the team and helps. He could however make the team and suck, get hurt, go on the DL, they bring up the German for the gazillionth time who well again, but when Blake comes off the DL, the German gets sent down, is tired of being a yo you and says no thank and heads back to Frankfurt thus depriving us of someone who might have been better then Blake.
Otherwise it could be fantastic

I would like to thank The Real Pancho for entertaining me during my last Property class. that last thread was some great reading.
As for Hawksworth….not a fan. I just hate releivers that dont strike anybody out. I guess getting something is better than nothing, but dude was pretty brutal last year.
Exactly why I dont mind it. I just hope they dont have unreasonable expectations for the guy and use him incorrectly.

@jay_jaffe I’d have settled for a bucket of tepid yak spit in exchange for Ryan Theriot. Sentient being Blake Hawksworth exceeds my expectations.
That’s the bottom line. Getting anything in return for a guy you are about to non-tender and not re-sign is actually accomplishing something. I just wonder who the Cards thought they were going to have to bid against to sign Theriot. The Giants, who already have his buddy Fontenot?
