One more shot before we say goodbye or halleluiah with our familair friends. Just a tweak here and there.
Juan Uribe, Pedro Baez, Jake Lemmerman and 4 Million for Matt Dominquez making Ozzie and Hanley happy.
Blake Hawksworth is traded for Blake DeWitt
Gurrier is traded to Texas for Scott Feldman
Silverio, John Ely, Ivan DeJesus traded for Brent Lillibridge
Ramon Castro is signed to help out AJ while FedEx percolates.
======================================================================================
Catcher - AJ and Ramon Castro start the season with AJ the regular and Castro helping out 1 - 2 games a week.
1st Base - going one more time with Jim. I'm going to ignore three and a half years and go with hope and heart. I have to admit Jim hitting in Aug/Sept like a demon was just as sweet as watching Kemp go MVP. Jerry Sands should get some at bats here.
2nd Base - Brent Lillibridge - shocking how bad 2nd baseman are, he showed some pop, blocked by Beckham, has DeWitt/Sellers backing him up.
SS - Dee Gordon - show us the goods
3rd - Matt Dominquez, he's a fielding whiz so he can do exactly what Uribe is good at better. He won't hit much, but neither would Uribe. Very nice left side of the diamond defensively.
2nd/3rd - Blake DeWitt being left handed helps here. He's been consistently average which is better then most these days.
RF - Can't quit on Andre now, hoping the knee was the problem, no sense on trading him low. If he hits this team competes, if he does not they can flip him. Either way, this is his last season as a Dodger. Jerry Sands should get some at bats here.
CF - MVP Matt Kemp roams
LF - Gwynn / Rivera / Sands
Rotation is same as last year with Feldman replacing the likes of Garland / Padilla. He's got one year left on his deal for 6.5 and a buyout in 2013 for only $500,000. With Rubby being out we need someone here besides Eovaldi and Eveland as they are our depth for when one of the five get hurt. If the rotation stays healthy then Rubby and Eovaldi can help in the bullpen later in the year or if Feldman is not doing the job, Rubby could replace him.
Bullpen looks light on experience but big on talent.
This team needs Loney and Andre to hit but if they do then I think they can compete. I don't expect Matt Dominquez to do much with the bat, .250/.290/.410 but that is also what I'd expect from a solid Uribe year with some of the best defense we are going to see at 3rd base in the league. Blake DeWitt is here as insurance.
I'd rather have given LF to Sands but Ned tied my hands so we all lost $4 Million trying to build a better mousetrap. I don't think we make much of a splash in free agency so I simply excluded it other then bit parts. Lots of raises had to be given to Kemp, Kershaw, Andre, Loney and Lilly added quite a few million this year.

Drafted out of Chatsworth at age 17, so he’s still only 22.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
and
he did have some bat skill yes? I know nothing about him, but I’ve heard you mention him before, so I’m curious.
I could see the Marlins shipping him out if they sign Reyes and move Hanley.

Interesting ideas. I like the Lillibridge idea, especially.
Not sure I see that Hawk for BDW trade happening ;) (though you never know). I don’t see that Uribe trade happening either. But I like the thinking outside the box… Hm…
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Hmm, maybe Dominguez could work, I'm sure Ozzie still does have a Uribe fetish
though personally I’d be ok holding on to him. Yeah, this is a challenging exercise.

Offseason Plan
Trade Eovaldi,Webster,Gould and Silverio for Gio Gonzalez and Scott Sizemore. Resign Kuroda and Miles. Sign Ivan Rodriguez to backup Ellis. While we don’t improve our offense much I think we will be ok because Uribe and Ethier should have bounce back seasons next year. By trading for Gonzalez we have the best roatation in all of baseball.
A’s will want more players closer to the majors than that.

These threads have been interesting are a lot more work than I could even think of putting into it, so I appreciate what you guys are doing. That said, I’m not a fan of adding trades into these things. If trades are done I’d rather they be for guys that aren’t going to have huge impacts on multiple positions (or big financial impact).
That’s just my opinion though.

Phil, I dont think the other team would make any of those trades with the Dodgers.
Lillibridge hit 258/340/505 last year for the White Sox. Why would they give him up, especially for who you’re offering?
Guerrier for Feldman? Why would Texas do that?
Penny pinching Marlins would really give up one of their #1 picks for Juan Uribe? Seriously?
Hawksworth for Dewitt? i doubt Theo’s going to do that.

If the Dodgers release Uribe, it would save them $0
by Eric Stephen on Nov 10, 2011 7:08 PM PST up reply actions
the best part about this is I think that team is complete shit
Just trying to get the payroll right.
i agree with the no trades rule above...here's mine simple and sweet
Going by the sidebar:
Non-Tender Loney (saves 6 mils)
Non-Tender Ethier (saves 12 mils)
So now 18mils + 10 mils = 28 mils to work with (if we’re playin with 120mils payroll).
Step 1: Sign Jose Reyes
Step 2: Sign Josh Willingham
Step 3: Sign Erik Bedard
Thats it.
Starters:
SS- Jose Reyes
LF – Josh Willingham
CF – Matt Kemp
1b – Juan Rivera
RF – Jerry Sands
C – AJ Ellis/Griff
3b – Juan Uribe
2b – Dee Gordon
Starters:
Kershaw, Billingsley, Lilly, Bedard, Eovaldi
Bullpen: Same as sidebar except Tron is out…Webster in
I like this
Dont like Willingham tho, if youre gonna release Loney, I think Pena would be a great fit and he wont cost a pick. Gwynn/Rivera could play LF
I like Willingham because he’s put up some consistently good offensive numbers in tough hitter parks over last 6 years.
Downside is he’s going to be 33 years later.
Which Pena?
Carlos Pena at 1st?
I think he’s going to cost more than my budget of 28 mils for Reyes + Bedard + 1st basmen would accomodate.
I think Willingham should cost about the same as Carlos Pena
but Pena could/should come on a one year deal
I like both players because they aren’t Juan Rivera
and I really like that defense you have if Pena is at first
If Pena and Willingham cost the same – then yeah i’d definitely take Carlos Pena.
But Pena got I think 10+ mils from the Cubs last year, and Willingham only got 6mils…so i think Pena will cost quite a bit.
But WIllingham is a free agent now. He got $6 million through the arbitration process.
by Eric Stephen on Nov 10, 2011 7:35 PM PST up reply actions
At his age, I dont think he’s going to get much more than 6mils a year even in free agency.
Pena would be a great option for the Dodgers if they could fit him in, but i just think he’s going to end up getting something close to what Ethier makes (11-12 mils), and no way you can sign both Pena/Reyes and stay under 120mils
notice you had Griff
bold move Cotton

by Tommy Blackjack on Nov 10, 2011 7:25 PM PST up reply actions
I also have Gordon at 2nd base.
I dont think signing Reyes should force the team to keep Gordon in the minors or trade him if they dont find something good.
Gordon still have some offensive value at 2nd base, and if he can play SS surely he can play 2b. I’d rather Gordon get the ABs than Sellers
i’d move Reyes, for his health, but that’s just me

I have to say. If Tim Lincecum or some other Giants jagoff had been far and away the best pitcher in the NL, I have faith that Phil and Eric would have, however begrudgingly, cast a vote for them. They would have not liked it, but they would have had integrity as fans that aren’t complete dumbshits.
I pitched to Matt Kemp, and all I got was this stupid earned run.

The vote was so bad, it had to be a woman. Its nothing personal. Because even when men hate something, or someone, our love for sports keeps our emotions in check. When women hate something, they take things to a whole nother level, like voting Kershaw 5th. Again, nothing personal. Now this doesnt apply to Josie, or Maddz, they know their shit, but they are the exception, not the rule. Or however that saying goes. Just keepin it real!

How can you build a team and omit trading?
To answer Joey Joe’s question:
1. Lillibridge – Beckham is their 2nd baseman. They used Liilibridge as a spare outfielder last year. He’s expendable and I think they would trade him.
2. Marlins have a new manager, Dominquez was a number one pick but he has lost his luster with a lackluster minor league career. He’s easily tradeble. Guillen has expressed great admiration for JuanUribe in the past.
3. The Rangers have shown they will pay dearly for bullpen help. They can either use Feldman and keep Feliz in the bullpen or do what they say they are going to do and move Feiiz into the rotation and make Adams the closer meaning they would need another setup man. With the cost of relievers skyrocketing Guerrier’s contract does not look bad.
4. Why wouldn’t Theo trade for a setup guy for a bench player like DeWitt? The cost is the same. Or simply sign Greg Dobbs or Eric Chavez. I’d like to have a left handed 3rd base option.

Sports Hernia's seem to be the rage these days
Josh Hamilton (OF) TEX 11/10/2011
Hamilton will undergo an MRI to see if he has a sports hernia Thursday night. If one is found, he will undergo surgery within the next 48 hours, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. If Hamilton does indeed have a sports hernia, there is a chance he won’t be ready to go for the beginning of the season. That could explain his inability to turn on pitches for much of the World Series.
Maybe my memory is lax but I sure don’t remember sports hernia’s in baseball being to common until the last two years.

yeah. I like that Alex Smith boy though. He always looked a good lad, glad to see he didn’t get super fired.

Raiders D line is their secret weapon
Just ask Wade Smith

The thing is if you run the screen too much
it ruins its effectiveness. You run it when you think they are going to be blitzing a lot, and it forces them to be a bit more cautious. You do it too much and they just stop blitzing and the screens go nowhere.

I really miss when the texans would run 5-10 screens a game
now its like 3 at most. Its a bummer, we where GREAT at it.

By the way, those were some pretty crazy calls last night? I was thinking that Sheppard was out of bounds while touching the ball before it was controlled. Wasnt sure if it was a rule though and was glad they called it even though SD got the TD anyways. I wonder how many CBs or safties even knew about that, and if they might not try to be out of bounds and touch those corner passes more often?

I think that rule is dumb, but I liked when there was no PI because it was a punt formation
by Josie Becker on Nov 11, 2011 10:04 AM PST up reply actions
That hold before the punt was fuckin dumb though, Raiders really do some dumb ass shit somtimes. They really should of won that game easily.

The Mets will likely seek an affordable closer this offseason, according to Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, who spoke to three stoppers who might fit that bill: Jonathan Broxton, Brad Lidge and Joe Nathan. Broxton’s agent told Martino that Brox is seeking an incentive-laden one-year deal with perhaps a vesting option, and he’s willing to pitch as a setup man or a closer. Lidge’s agent said Lidge, too, is flexible with respect to his role, and Nathan said he is receptive to either a short- or long-term contract.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
wonder if he’ll throw his splitter more now, if his elbow is no longer barking at him.

AFL
Will Myers has long been considered one of the Royals best prospect bats. He was moved from catcher to RF to facilitate his move to the major leagues. He has not really torn up the minor leagues but he’s doing just that in the AFL.
Leads in OPS at 1.261, has more walks then strikeouts and has the cool line of
5 doubles
5 triples
4 home runs
Hoping he can end the year with 6 6 6.
Won’t be 21 until December 10th.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
yeah
he had a good game in the ASG
