Dodgers Place George Sherrill On Outright Waivers

PrintLess than a year after acquiring him at last season's trade deadline, the Dodgers have placed George Sherrill on outright waivers, per Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse, another turn in his roller coaster tenure as a Dodger. His Dodger career might end where it began, in the city of St. Louis. Or, it might not. These outright waivers will expire Friday, per Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, and a source has confirmed to me that the Dodgers don't plan to release Sherrill if he does not consent to a minor league assignment.
The Dodgers acquired Sherrill for third baseman Josh Bell and pitcher Steve Johnson last July 30. Bell was rated by Baseball America as Baltimore's second-best prospect before this season.The Dodgers paid a hefty sum in both prospects and salary for Sherrill, and would be on the hook for the remainder of his $4.5 million salary if he is released. With just over five years of service time, Sherrill cannot be sent to the minors without his consent. If another team signs Sherrill, it will presumably be for a pro-rated share of the major league minimum salary of $400,000, so the most salary relief the Dodgers will see is somewhere in the $130,000 - $170,000 range.
The George Sherrill Era with the Dodgers is a perfect example of the volatility of middle relief.
In 2009, Sherrill put up a 0.65 ERA, the best ERA ever by a Dodger with at least 20 innings pitched
In 2010, Sherrill has a 7.32 ERA, the 25th worst ERA by a Dodger with at least 19 2/3 innings pitched
I had to fudge a little bit with the innings requirements because Sherrill has barely pitched this year. He has pitched less in three and a half months in 2010 than he did in two months as a Dodger in 2009, having fallen from the setup role to mop-up man. Earned run average isn't the only area in which Sherrill has declined. His peripheral numbers have shown a stark decline this year, too:
| George Sherrill As A Dodger | ||||||
| Year | IP | BB/9 | K/9 | ERA | FIP | x-FIP |
| 2009 | 27.2 | 3.58 | 7.16 | 0.65 | 3.17 | 3.98 |
| 2010 | 19.2 | 7.32 | 5.03 | 7.32 | 5.91 | 6.32 |
The Dodgers are no doubt looking to acquire relief help at the July 31 trade deadline, which at the very least is ironic. The pitcher they paid so much for last season has been unreliable at best this season, creating the very hole they are looking to fill. That is the nature of middle relief. Sherrill should give the Dodgers pause as they jump back into the murky trade waters again.

Just looking at the 40-man roster, he’s the most obvious choice. I don’t see them starting Jansen’s service time in a placeholder role.
Or Keep Link?
Won’t it take awhile for Sherrill to clear waivers or do they expect it to happen by the weekend? If it takes awhile, they can keep Link, then recall McDonald Sunday, then send Link down and recall another reliever…
my head hurts…
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
I see
so it’s a question of do they want to recall McDonald early, even though they probably don’t want to pitch him til Monday…
Or do as many of us suggest and recall Jansen, keep Link til Monday when McDonald is needed.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
As of yet, Sherrill has not been DFA’d, so he’s still around. The waivers expire on Friday.
I still expect Link to stay through the weekend, and return to ABQ for J-Mac on Monday.

If Sherrill declines the assignment, the Dodgers will then release him, right? If not, I don’t see the point of this transaction.
They could release him, but they might not.
by Eric Stephen on Jul 14, 2010 4:18 PM PDT up reply actions
The point
is that they want to send him to the minors to work on things, and to do so they first have to place him on outright waivers.

Players on waivers can still play. These waivers expire Friday, after which Sherrill could still be around.

Here Lies the Left Elbow of Hong-Chih Kuo
He was left as the only left-handed reliever in the 2010 Dodgers bullpen and was forced to throw the 8th inning and against every left-handed bater from July 14 until the end of the season. He was loved, and will be missed. He is survived by a right arm and pinky toe who ask for privacy as they grieve.

The Dodgers will only look ahead, if they get a chance to get a reliever, they will pay the price.

There is no way we
can be successful without more arms in the Pen. Joe blowing through guys and guys going to Rehab. I think we need at least 2 guys. I don’t know if 1 of the answers is in the pen in Chattanooga now or not. I would like to think that he could pitch, but that is too risky right now. JMac can do it, but he might be the 5th starter we don’t need to trade for.
Ned trades for a crappy reliever in total:
Dodgers trade: Edwin Jackson, Josh Bell, Dioner Navarro, Wilson Betemit, Jae Seo, Steven Johnson, and Chuck Tiffany for George Sherill, Scott Proctor, Danys Baez, and Lance Carter
And the lesson we learned from this whole thing is gonna be YEE HAW Matt Capps.
But we can take Livan in the package and get our requisite trade for a proven veteran starter done early this year.

So I am guessing there is no prayer
he gets claimed. He can’t go to the minors without his consent bc of service time, I think. So does he just go home and wait for the phone to ring, all the while we send him checks?
Oh well, that is better than having to see In play, run(s) everytime he pitches.
Him and Plashke are banging two rocks together to try to get that spark going

I believe the Dodgers hope that Sherrill will find his form

Agreed
it’s just a matter of convincing George to go to the minors

I find it hard to believe they would just do this without letting him know ahead of time and getting a sense of if he’d do it or not. I can’t imagine they would do it without him agreeing to go down if for no other reason than to save a little face due to what they gave up for him.
"I am dead set against free agency. It can ruin baseball." - George Steinbrenner.
What I mean is, they wouldn’t do it without him agreeing to accept the minor league assignment beforehand. Assuming he isn’t claimed.
"I am dead set against free agency. It can ruin baseball." - George Steinbrenner.
They would if they are simply done with him, as a way to force his hand.
i.e., accept the assignment and regain some semblance of value by working on things in the minors, or go shopping with shitty numbers

If Sherrill agrees to go to the minors, is he committed to the Dodgers? Or, could he still jump to another team that offered him a MLB spot?
People don't think it be like this, but it do.
If he agrees to go to the minors, he is still a Dodger. He might be able to get some sort of agreement that if his agent can find a trade partner willing to pick up part of his salary, shop around all you want.

In the last thread, Phil implied that Eric has been sitting on this story for two days, awaiting confirmation.
If that’s so, and if you still got scooped, Eric, that ain’t right, and you should complain to the authorities.

It’s not just sports journalism. It’s every aspect of news now, in the age of twitter. The age of two independent sources seems to be ending, it’s just especially noticeable in the fluffier journalism worlds, like sports. It now seems that if the journalist is confident in the source, he isn’t willing to hold. That Eric did hold is a sign of respect.
I can imagine that Eric doesn’t want to blow up a good relationship with the team, but still, it sucks to get scooped on a story you had cold. I believe there is a respectful way of saying that it sucks.

He needs to pitch to work on his stuff, and no way he is going to get those innings in the majors.

Wow. For some reason, I can’t see him trading in chartered flights and high end hotels for bus rides, etc.
Well, he won’t get chartered flights if he’s not on a team. He is getting paid no matter what, and obviously isn’t effective at this moment. So does he get his head bashed in with a major league team, or go work on things in the minors? It’s just a matter of what organization he wants to be with, and their chances to make the playoffs IMO.

good riddance
Sherrill was definitely 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag. He had a little stretch in 2009 where he pitched out of his mind, but in addition to being garbage this year ,he gave up
the three run jack in the playoffs. Somebody lock up Ned in Barstow until the trading deadline passes. There’s got to be someone in AA or AAA who is left handed and throws with more velocity than Sherrill. Somebody help me out.
Well there is
Elbert but since he hasn’t pitched in about month, I don’t see him coming back to LA in the near future.
Outside of that, not too much out there from the port side.
Well, we did sign Jack Taschner for a reason

Question

Picking middle relievers at the start of the season
is what folks have called the reliever lottery; you hope to get lucky. That’s one reason why the Danys Baez trade was so bad; you shouldn’t overpay (Edwin Jackson and at the time a recent #2 LHP and top Dodger prospect Chuck Tiffany [were the shattered remnants of his elbow given to him in a blue box after surgery?] ) for an entry into that lottery.
But when looking for stretch drive relief help, you are usually getting a guy who is performing well at that moment and therefore is more likely to keep doing well for awhile, hopefully the rest of the season, e.g., Sherrill last season. Is that worth a premium? Probably a bit of one. Josh Bell level premium? I don’t know.
Sherrill hasn’t been good this year, but we all were pretty dang happy with his performance down the stretch last year, up to the NLCS. Eric even wrote about shutting down games with KuoGeoBro. If this is the end of the line for Sherrill as a Dodger, I will at least thank him for the last couple months of 2009.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
It seems to me that guys become middle relievers because they’re not consistent. If they always pitched well, they’d be starters or closers. If they always sucked, they’d be in the minors.
If that’s true, then there will always be a lot of risk involved in trading for them.
People don't think it be like this, but it do.
Most guys become relievers because they only have two good pitches. You really need a third pitch to be able to get through the lineup a third time, and if you don’t at least have a ‘show-me’ fourth pitch fuhgetaboutit.

the person in question is of age should remove all of the creep factor. She was earning a living.

This is her in Snow Day
Mind you, this was a Nickelodeon movie, targeting kids. Gave the Dads something too, though.
I also remember something about a swimsuit – she was on swim team or something – that seemed Dad-targeted, but I can’t find an image on the net right now.

Every time I wonder if I could think any higher of you......
You do something like this…..
This is definitely not targted for the kids. I have an idea that the execs at Nick are in a room saying how do we get Dads to okay the purchase of Snow Day?

Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
So for all the talk about Uggle
Not much seems to have been said about what it would take to get him, or what it would be worth giving up. Thoughts?

I mentioned before
that it was rumored the Rockies were looking at him, and were willing to give up Barmes plus something.

Re: Sherrill
Tony Jackson says he can either accept the assignment or become a free agent. I hope this is true. Because the “let’s pretend this never happened” scenario is stupid.
Gurnick clarifies that if Sherrill chooses to become a free agent, he would forfeit his salary. Not happening, obviously.
I would imagine Sherrill and the Dodgers discussed this
Something like -
Ned: George, you’ve really been sucking. We want you to go back to AAA ball and figure it out again. In the meantime, we can call up another arm that Joe might actually want to use.
George: No. I won’t accept that assignment again. If you don’t want me, another major league team does.
Ned: Well, we could waive you and if someone claims you, great. If not, let’s discuss the minor league assignment again. Or you could declare free agency and save me a few bucks.
George: I can live with waivers. If no one claims me, we can cross that bridge to Albuquerque when we get to it.

Ya I mentioned that yesterday. There’s no way they put him on waivers without knowing that he’ll get claimed or that he’d accept the assignment. Hell, I’d be shocked if they didn’t call around to other teams to see if they’d claim him.
