So if Kuroda is claimed by someone like the Yankees...
they have to work a trade for him if no one ahead of NYY claimed him, or Dodgers can pull him back, right?
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
That's what she said!
Wait… that doesn’t really work, never mind.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Here's my (conspiracy) theory
Kuroda on waivers = not offering him arbitration.
Lilly not on waivers = planning to offer him arbitration
80 percent of my job is getting other people to do theirs.
That was always my assumption.
There’s no downside to it.

Could be on to something...
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Dodgers will have to weigh the option of:
1) keeping Kuroda, potentially getting a supplemental first round pick (then again he could accept arb and get an 8-figure deal for one season)
2) getting a player from the Yankees (perhaps better than a supplemental first rounder, though unlikely), plus saving somewhere north of $2.5m or so.
by Eric Stephen on Aug 24, 2010 4:53 PM PDT up reply actions
They have a bunch of highly thought of catching prospects...
perhaps they could snag one.
@neufaustcan
Austine Romine for Kuroda. Done.

Right
but whatever team claims him, the same decision making process would happen.
by Eric Stephen on Aug 24, 2010 5:00 PM PDT up reply actions
Let's say Kuroda is gone Friday
just for instance. Including Friday, there are 38 days left in the season.
Kuroda would be owed $2,699,454 ($13m / 183 × 38) for the rest of the year.

When a player is put on waivers
the claiming process goes from the worst record in the same league to the best record in that league. If no one claims them, they go to the other league, worst record to best. So, if Manny goes on waivers, the worst record NL team(Im guessing the Pirates) gets 1st crack and the order goes all the way to the Padres, the best record in the NL. If no team claims him, then the Orioles get first crack in the AL(worst record) all the way to the Yankees, the best AL record.
Whoever is the first to claim the player gets 3 days to try to work out a trade. The team that put the player on waivers can either trade the player or pull him back. If he is pulled back, the player can be put on waivers again, but he cannot be pulled back. If he is claimed a 2nd time, that claiming team gets the player

Roto is a skill
not luck, sometime you get bad or good luck but a good player will find a way to overcome his bad luck to the point he can be competitive. If you play in any money league over time the same 20% owners will always be the ones playing for the money. Sometimes a lucky team will sneak in but just like in baseball SSS applies.
With sites like Baseball HQ more and more players are educated, but an amazing amount of players still have not grasped SSS. Buying old guys at 1/2 the price of the new toys is usually a good way to play the game. The new toys always are over priced, and the old toys are ignored. Plenty of strategies but it is a skill.
Correlation

A father was a few seats down saying to his probably 10 year old kid that Billingsley not running that out could make the difference in the game. I’m pretty sure the Dodgers were up by 5 at this point.

The Braves have
Melky Cabrera, Nate LaLouth, and Matt Diaz stinking it up.
Johnny Gomes plays just as bad defense in LF.
This isn’t Manny over a full season,this is Manny for a stretch dive for the last month of the season and for the playoffs. Who cares if he can’t play LF, he will hit much better than Melky Cabrera.
If I’m going to war, its with a guy I know that can hit the ball.
If I'm going to war I'm going with
someone who can play the game, and not a gimp. Did you already forgot how he got hurt last time? Manny needs to DH, seems fairly simple to grasp unless you only want to play him a few games a week.
Can I use "gimp" or did that offend those of you who work with Gimps or know Gimps
or feel sorry for Gimps for being Gimps?
He keeps on getting hurt on the basepaths, not on defense. I do not see how DHing would stop him from running bases.
The point is you aren’t going to war, the Braves are. And they won’t claim Manny.

I tend to fall in the middle in this Matt Kemp discussion
I don’t believe any player is above criticism and certainly he is no longer a rookie and frankly he has not played well in many facets of the game this year. He is certainly not the worst player on the team but given how important he is to the team’s success, his drop in production is magnified.
However, he should not be poster boy for what is wrong with this team, losing Manny, Rafael Furcal and Martin for long periods of times are as important if not more so.
there was a 30 minutes delay
the lookouts scored 7 runs in the top of the inning and it took forever to get him back out to pitch….
tthats probably why he walked the first batter he faced in the 4th
call em up
Have you ever tried just turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
No please
keep trying to blow smoke up Selig’s ass without actually saying anything.
How would you define your approach to management, apart from being brilliant?
This Brewers telecast sucks.
You can put the camera on the action and listen to the Selig interview…not keeping the cam on Bud while the game is going on.
Even worse…they are going on and on about what a great job Selig has done as a commissioner.
I dont think he’s done anything good.
There more competitive unbalance now as ever before.
He presided over the strike…which killed baseball for a while.
PEDS are a huge blot on his watch.
What has this guy done that has bettered the game?

Nah
The Werder v Samp match. 3 – 0, Samp is going through, then suddenly Werder gets a goal late in the game to sent it to extra time with a 4-4 aggregate, and then Werder gets the go ahead goal. Fantastic!

He’s still claiming the boo’ing by the Red Sox fans when he came back as a Yankee really bothered him.
I dont get it.
I think Brian Giles once declined going to a contender once when he was claimed…but I cant believe Damon would do that.
Damon must not like the shirts they sell in Boston that say:

I am thinking he believes he has a shot at playing for the Tigers next year.
Probably has no chance of playing for Boston.
Didn’t the manager of the Rays say something today like “I’m sure Johnny thinks Detroit is a better place for his kids to grow up.”?
People don't think it be like this, but it do.

Let me just add
The owners blew it when they just didn’t accept Marvin Miller’s proposal that every player become a free agent after one year thus creating an open market place and lack of multi-year contracts. Also they let arbitration enter the picture way too easily.

If only we were playing in the LLWS. That replay would take about 10 seconds and the call would be correct.
but those extra 10 seconds would "slow down the game"
and what about the “human element” and all the other old talking points that we keep hearing over and over to counter every possible argument of logic and reason for expanded replay?
Dont know if anyone saw this
The Dodgers put Hiroki Kuroda on waivers, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter). Kuroda hits free agency after the season, but the Dodgers don’t necessarily want to move him. A rival executive guaranteed Rosenthal that the Yankees will be “all over” Kuroda if he reaches them on waivers.

Whats Rubby’s ERA going to be at AA?
He’s only given up like 2 runs in 35 innings..
Walks are a bit high but doesnt look like any AA hitters can lift his fastball.
Well if you admire FIP
Should be at 3.5

I just cant get behind XFIP.
I think preventing homers is a skill…so that kind of works against pitchers like Rubby.

I think Mike and I had different lists.
I’m glad Lilly is still magic, and I"m sorry I missed the Kemp at bat. Which makes me wonder, everyone thought Kemp had crushed a 500 foot home run but it triangulates to 447 feet. Songco’s was actually 508 feet. Can you imagine what that looked like?
I imagine Songco’s looked like something that can’t be proven, only exaggerated :)
