I wouldnt mind Shields as a 4th or 5th starter. Even when we get to the play offs, he wont be but an arm in the pen, so its not bad.

We need that pen fixed. Dodgers needs to scoop up about 2 solid arms at least.

Quote:
Trading Corey Seager for a frontline pitcher late last season would not have guaranteed the Dodgers a place in the World Series. But it might have helped.

Instead, the club refused to part with the 20-year-old shortstop, who might have helped it land David Price or Jon Lester and address a glaring lack of pitching depth.

That decision raised expectations already elevated for the first-round pick, who is widely regarded as the Dodgers' top prospect, ahead of even highly touted outfielder Joc Pederson.

"Corey is an incredibly gifted prospect," said Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers' new president of baseball operations. "His hands work really well on both sides of the ball and his progression year over year is right in line with that we would hope."


Makes my mouth water thinking about a prospect like Seager at 3B or SS. Very glad we didn't trade him away for Price or Lester (just ask their new teams if those trades really provided any benefit).

Yeah, all those big trades got those teams where? The only trade that may have helped, and this is a reach, is the Giants trade for Peavy.

Impressive background, I am looking forward to seeing how they build this out. Since they've secured the tv deal, they'll slowly pare down the payroll to a sustainable long-term solution that should be highly competitive, yet cost effective.

Gold glove winners for the Dodgers this year:

A-Gon
Greinke

http://m.mlb.com/news/article/100537486/royals-os-lead-gold-glove-field-with-3-each

Uribe got robbed, honestly, again for the second year in a row. His defensive numbers are better across the board.

I'm mixed on Zaidi. Resume looks good though I'm still feeling burned by the last Beane-counter guy we tabbed.

Kershaw is the worst pitcher in baseball. Couldn't even win a Gold Glove. What a choker. He should only be in the game to hit the ball for the extra point attempt.

Agreed. His runs saved and dWAR were just slightly better, though with less games played, but his fielding percentage, that silly old thing from the past, was significantly better .979 - .959. He just might be the best defensive third baseman the Dodgers ever had. Heck, move him to short, his original position, and he's still better than Hanley.

Lots of insiders tweeting that the Dodgers are aggressively trying to trade 1 or 2 of their outfielders. Puig is off the table though like many of us thought he would be.

If it's Ethier or Crawford even, then that means we're going to eat most of his salary or another GM is being blackmailed. Kemp seems the most likely though after his resurgence, I'm not as hot on him leaving anymore just for change.

Regardless of what happened in the postseason. These awards are for the regular season. I'm expecting him to take home the MVP as well. Hopefully he can break through in October next year.

He's too good not to. Lets just avoid the Cards for one postseason, though

MVP!


It looks like some voters didn't even have Kershaw in the top 3 so some old-timers were trying to ruin the party.

I know you're trolling to get a rise out of Dodger fans, but you should already know that the NL MVP award is for regular season.......

Sucks that he had the postseason he did, but a huge feat nonetheless.

You're giving PnP a run for his money. At least it wasn't intentional with him. Now do us a favor like him and piss off.
