travis Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 During the game last nite they were talking about how they could move Kemp to right, Pierre to center and Manny will obviously be in left. Pierre is hot but do they really wanna take Ethier out of the line up? Ethier could play first too I guess but then Loney would be on the bench. Too many good players isnt the worst problem a team could have. I wouldn't be shocked if someone got traded though... even if they bench Pierre there are teams out there who are in a position where they need a speedster like him. its almost a waste of talent to have him on the bench I think. Yea they have a similar problem to the Angels of the last few years. WAY too many outfields and not enough room for them all. Luckily for the Angels they can use a DH. I wouldnt be suprised if someone got dealt from the Dodgers tho. For the Angels Ive been hearing Figgins trade rumors. Any one else hear anything about that? I heard Figgins for Damon cause they both are free-agents at the end of the year. The Angels dont need any more OFs tho. They need relief pitching BADLY! Figgins has already said he would test the market after this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dntheman1 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 The dodgers are going to have to eat some of that Pierre contract if he's going to get traded. Are there two more years after this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I don't think the Dodgers are going to have issue eating the contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 thing is, the Dodgers have so many GOOD players, its not an issue of who they trade... who is the 3B for the Dodgers? can Pierre/Looney/etc transition over to 3B from OF/1B? Orlando Hudson is the 2B, right? whose their SS? I thought Matt Kemp played IF before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Matt Kemp is definitely a CF. Casey Blake plays 3B, Hudson plays 2B, and Furcal plays SS. Since Blake's range is minimal I would say a SS with great range is a necessity. In LF is Manny, CF is Kemp, like I said, and in RF is Ethier. Loney, being a lefty, can only play 1B. And of course Martin is the catcher. I love, love, love our defense. The need, at this point, is another right-handed reliever since Mota is marginal at best and Troncoso and Bellasario are both being a bit over-worked.

Wonder if anyone will bite on Ethier or Pierre in a trade... since those two I think are the only expendable parts on the field, Pierre moreso than Ethier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 though, didn't the Dodgers almost trade Matt Kemp last summer???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Not sure, for a while he was trade bait but I can't see that happening now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 The Dodgers have a great core group of young talent right now. They would be crazy to trade anyone except maybe Pierre (just for the fact that there's no room for him). They could be really good for a long time and dominate the NL West if they can keep this group together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Man, the Brewers picked up McGehee off waivers from the Cubs in January and he's REALLY been awesome for the Brewers since Hall has been a bust and Weeks is out for the year. he's only had 95 AB this season June, but he's hitting .347 and just hit a 2 run jack! and Fielder just crushed one too! fuck, i love the brewers. Chub Fielder is my boi! so is Ryan Braun. Cory Hart. love 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should convert him to a closer, seems a perfect candidate. Good stuff but not very consistent as a starter. He's a headcase, he could never handle being a closer. Snell never blames himself for his mistakes, it's always him. He's a classic case of of a playing having all the tools, but no toolbox.

andrew13 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 did you hear his press conference after he was demoted? i wanted to smash my radio last night when rocco played it. there is to much negativity around him here and it's the bloggers, tv hosts, and radio hosts fault. also the catchers. and the managers. and the front office. and his infield. plus his outfield didn't make a catch for him. and the bullpen cost him. and we all know he doesn't pitch well on the 3rd sunday following friday the 13th. this guy is fucking nuts and he's never going to fix it. he's his own biggest fan and everyone else is the reason he's been fucking terrible for the last 2 years.

Alright fair enough, didn't know he had much issue outside of pitching deep in to games and being consistent for more than an inning or two. Sounds like he's indeed a bit of a egotist and a head case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew13 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 i'm just sick of hearing him ripping his teammates and the media, the field, ground crew, and sun after every loss. then when he wins it's all his doing. sorry if that came off as directed towards you or anything. snell makes me want to break things. i don't get why some pirates bloggers still hate t. plush? he's been their best player this year and the HR steal yesterday was amazing. oh and sammy can i just pm you my votes? or do you want an email?

It didn't come off to me at all. I was just kind of replying because I hadn't realized he was such a head case and in that case I see why you guys would want him out. And yeah, go ahead and PM the votes, no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
