I’m happy. I didn’t want to give up pitching depth for an Ace that might not be an ace by the time the playoffs begin. I instead we got something close to what I wanted as far as getting Pepiot back.
Might have my 3rd baseman upgrade depending on where Tommy Edman plays.
pitchers should be happy to have a gold glove CFer.
SS is stacked waiting for Betts to return.
But the best trade was the one that didn’t get made. We keep Ryan, Wrobleski, Stone, etc
Bellinger didn’t get traded and the folks on MLB network think he will not opt out of his contract with the Cubs for next year.
Would you? 27.5 million player option. One would be insane to pass that up.
Hell No. He is not having the kind of year to get anywhere near that much as a free agent.
Per Josh Thomas:
Over at fangraphs, after all the trade deadline moves, the Dodger farm system dropped from 3rd in MLB to 4th
If you don’t mind sharing, what are their Dodger Top 5 or 10 prospects?
I don’t think it’s been updated recently, but you can find it here:
Wow, our 26 man roster in about 4 weeks will be EXTREMELY different than what we saw Sunday at Houston
It will be different in about 2 weeks.
So the Dodgers get 2 defense ONLY players Kiermaier and Edman, look at Edman’s falling stats against LHP and he sucks against RHP except his rookie year and Kiermaier sucks period especially this year. Then they get a reliever who gives up a lot more than average HR’s that can kill you in the playoffs. They get a usefull platoon player against LHP Rosario and they get a good starting pitcher Flaherty. The good news is AF didn’t trade any prospects and active players that I wanted him to keep.
Kiermaier and Edman are nothing more than bench players that come in late in games for defense purposes and if Doc starts them, then Doc is doing Doc stuff, stupid stuff.
Rosario can platoon with Lux, that would be a very good platoon.
No outfield big bat was added, so what’s the plan now. Don’t tell me Kiermaier, Edman, Kike, Taylor are going to start in the outfield. Pages hits LHP good. Outman has been dicked around by Doc this year, an example of Doc doing Doc stuff, stupid stuff. Outman killed RHP last year and held his own against LHP. Don’t tell me Kiermaier, Edman, Kike, Taylor are better than Pages and Outman. So I see 3 usefull players in the outfield, one of them dicked around by Doc, who is good defensively in CF, who should get his chance to play everyday (Outman). So my preference is Teo and Outman everyday and Heyward and Pages platoon. Doc’s a veteran lover even if those veterans can’t hit (Kiermaier and Edman). So knowing Doc, the outfield might look like a bunch of misfits, including Kiermaier, Edman, Kike, Taylor. A good platoon player in Heyward and an everyday outfielder Teo. And if you put Rosario in there instead of 1 of the misfits, then you have a misfit platooning with Lux, lose lose.
Lets hope to god Muncy and Betts return, AF found a good platoon partner (Rosario) for Lux, and Freeman completes the infield at 1B.
Lets or just me, because there’s defense only people here, hope to god Doc’s plan is Teo and Outman everyday and a platoon of Heyward and Pages.
I’m still disappointed no outfield big bat was add.
I’m glad no important prospects and active players were traded (Vargas wasn’t important to me) for the misfits, plus Rosario and Flaherty and a reliever that can kill you in the playoffs by allowing HR’s
Flaherty is a VERY GOOD PICK UP, I thought all along he was a better choice than the other starting pitchers rumored to be traded INCLUDING Crochet. But NOT Tarik Skubal. But I don’t think any team would pay the price for Skubal. AF did a very good job getting Flaherty and Rosario, but he gave Doc more misfit veterans that can’t hit to play with and he’ll do it because he’s a veteran lover.
Basically, A VERY GOOD STARTING PITCHER, a good platoon partner for Lux and nothing else.
My opinion for what it’s worth.
Outman will be in OKC in a couple of days. Biggio is trying to Wally Pip Freeman. Glasnow won’t know what to do with this kind of support.
I’m cautiously thinking about possibly joining the very last car in the Cavan Biggio caravan.
Maybe.
Support? guys that won’t contribute to scoring runs except Rosario. That’s support? Outman’s a good defensive CF and he’s shown he can hit last year, but he’s been dicked around by Doc this year. You want no hitting for whatever slightly better defense if there is some over Outman? Not to mention Pages also. As I said, defense only people.
Support in tonight’s game and yes I have more faith in Kiermaier than Outman. Kiermaier is better defensively and he’s hitting better than Outman. But Outman is your little pet and he can do no wrong
Ron
All I need to know about you is you’re a defense only person. Which tells me a lot. And I remember you from Mark‘s blog.
No defense is important it’s not the only thing. But by every measure this year Kiermaier has been better than Outman. That’s not saying a lot but he has been better. Outman should be in OKC and will be in the next couple of days. As far as defense goes preventing runs is kind of important. I would be thrilled if AF could have picked up a center fielder that hit .350 with a .600 slugging percentage but that doesn’t exist. Also Rooker would have made the team even weaker defensively. He would be in left Teoscar in right and a platoon of Pages/Heyward in center. You can’t just look at stats and forget about defense. All you have to do is watch the White Sox play a couple of games and see what bad defense gets you.
Ron
Defense stats are flawed first of all, but I’ll go with your defense stuff. Take the runs produced by Outman last year subtract the runs saved by.Keirmaier and you’ll find out who is more valuable.
I’m not talking about last year last year is gone. This year Kiermaier is better than Outman. This is a results oriented game and Outman’s results are worse this year than Kiermaier. Obviously the Dodgers consider Outman to be a 5th or 6th outfielder at best. No matter how much you want him to be successful this year he hasn’t been. It’s no one’s fault except Outmans for not performing. You can try to blame Doc but Outman was not hitting what else was he supposed to do. This is going to be a non issue in a couple of days when Outman is in OKC.
You didn’t even hear me the other guy’s career stats suck and the last time he did as good as Outman’s offensive stats last year was 2017 and he’s barely better than Outman this year. Give Outman more at bats this year and I guarantee you 100% that Outman will out hit Kiermiaer and there’s nothing wrong with Outman’s defense. This is what always happens when I go back-and-forth with a defense only person. Just ignore what Outman did last year and just ignore the other guys career hitting stats and point out the little bit of better hitting from the other guy this year and point to defense stats that are flawed, Nice case you made
You’re right to ignore last year because it has nothing to do with this year. Outman has been horrible at the plate this year. Kiermaier has been less horrible this year. This is a waste of time you want Outman to succeed so bad so you can say you were right about him it’s ridiculous. Outman is going to OKC maybe next year he performs like he did last year but it’s not happening this year.
I didn’t pick up on something you said in your post until now.
“you want Outman to succeed so bad so you can say you were right about him it’s ridiculous.”
No, it’s called upside, something Outman has and Kiermaier doesn’t. Since you’re a defense only guy, you might’ve not heard of the term upside. Have you ever heard of upside?
Like I said, give Outman and Kiermaier consistent at bats and I guarantee you Outman will hit better than Kiermaier and there’s nothing wrong with Outman’s defense. That’s called better for the team, it’s not called “being right”.
Yeah, Outman will be fine. He’s just not ready for a a serious MLB role.
Lux was treated similarly, and Lux has more talent and had a higher pedigree.
I am with you on the importance of defense. Especially in the playoffs.
I don’t see how Docs to blame for Outman’s struggles at the plate.
Keith
if you had a good rookie year killing RHP and you’re only flaw against LHP was power and were number three in the rookie of the year award and the next year right off the bat, you were platooned with none other than Kike that no team wanted except the Dodgers and sat some games that RHP started on a loaded team before the injuries happened, think about it.
Now he’s being replaced with a defense only player that’s retiring after this season and there’s nothing wrong with Outman’s defense.
Outman sure did not get the long leash that Lux got.
No Outman didnt, I’m glad Lux turned it around. If I’d been in charge I would have pulled the plug on him about 6 weeks ago, I guess it’s a good thing I’m not in charge
Yep and Outman kills Lux in OPS and is slightly better than Lux in OBP in their careers.
And Lux is still wishing he could put up this slashline in 1 year against either RHP or LHP .247/.351/.484/.836 that Outman did in his rookie year.
I’m thinking it’s a possibility that Keirmair is only here until Edman gets healthy enough to take over CF, couple of weeks.
Id like to see Outman do well, but he has struggled at the plate much more this season than last.
If I’m Outman, I’m on the phone to my agent telling him to get me the hell out of this organization. It would be hard to swallow being replaced by a 34 year old guy hitting .195 who’s retiring after the season.
Wally
Exactly. And also the beginning of the year when he was platooned with none other than Kike.
Yeah, that’s exactly how it works.
I too was disappointed that AF did not do more to improve the outfield.
Edman is a better defender than he is an offensive player. Granted. But he is a 99 WRC+ offensive player who has averaged 30 steals a year over the last three years and puts the ball in play. The Dodgers 7-9 hitters (Taylor, Kike, Biggio, Ahmed, Lux ) were 60 WRC+. To argue that Tommy Edman is not an improvement over what we have been running out there for 105 games is not based in fact.
If Keirmaier is a defense only player (and this year he has been) what has Outman been this year? Keirmaier and Edman are, by any metric, better in center than Pages and Outman. Pages slides to a corner spot against left handers which maximizes his strengths, offensively and defensively.
Rosario, this season, has hit over .300 against both lefties and righties. He may well platoon with Lux against right handers. Lux is a 30 WRC+ against lefties so there is definite improvement there, as you said. If Rosario plays third against right handers instead of Kike, he provides better offense at that position as well.
Kopech is not Mason Miller, Tanner Scott, or Jason Adam. We all agree. But he has some tools, namely a 99 mph fastball. Give the Dodger pitching development staff a chance to refine his tools and see what we they can do. At worst, he provides another arm to spread out innings that Hudson, Treinen, and Phillips have had to cover. At best, he becomes a weapon in high leverage innings in the post season. The truth is probably somewhere in between. He is also controlled for another year. The cost for relief pitchers was ridiculous this deadline. The Padres gave up three prospects in their top 10 for Tanner Scott, who is a rental. Would you have preferred that the Dodgers trade Ryan, Liranzo, and Wrobleski for Tanner Scott?
Neither of us know if these deals will result in the Dodgers winning a title. In fact, if they don’t, these deals won’t likely be the reason they don’t.
A. Taylor will most likely miss the rest of the year. Don’t sell Edman short. Kid is a gamer. And he has decent power. He is a very good defender, and he has speed. Mookie might move back to right, he said he wants to do whatever it takes to help the team win. So, the outfield will be some combination of Mookie in right, Teo in left and a Kiermaier-Edman platoon in center. No big outfield bat was traded Eric. Rooker, Robert Jr., none of the big bats went anywhere.
What kind of grade does the front office deserve for these trades?
Well, I’m impressed. I’ll going with A-minus.
Not an A+ because I don’t see Rosario, Edman or Keirmeier as an “impact bat.” But perhaps the price tags were too high for Robert and Rooker. No other contender got them–or Skubal or Crochet either–so they can’t hurt the Dodgers down the road.
Flaherty is the biggest addition–and it’s surprising that the Tigers didn’t get more for him, considering the price other rental arms (Estevez, Kikuchi, Tanner Scott) commanded. If I was a Tigers fan, I’d be seriously pissed.
All considered, I’m glad the Dodgers didn’t get Scott. A terrific RP, but the Pads just paid too much. I think he was worth an overpay, however; perhaps the Dodgers’ bid pushed the Padres to offer too much. (Who knows?) If the Dodgers need another lefty for the pen in the playoffs, perhaps Wrobleski will get the call.
Of all the players the Dodgers gave up, I think Liranzo might have the brightest future–but he’s still years away from the majors. The Dodgers kept fellow prospect catchers Rushing and Cartaya, and a few others.
It will be interesting to see how Roberts uses his new weapons.
While Luis Robert or Rooker would be interesting, Mookie should be back in a few weeks.
Who would play 3B if Max can’t make it back? The options now include Edman and Rosario.
I give them a B.
Reports are that the Yankees dropped out of the Flahrety bidding because of concerns over the pitcher’s back.
I saw that too. That might explain why we got the “bargain” this seems to be. I just glanced at the story, but I took it to say that there was actually a trade in place and then the Yankees backed out. In other words, if the medicals had satisfied them Flaherty would be a Yankee tonight.
Rosenthal goes on to say:
And Harris (Detroit GM) said he was pleased to bring Liranzo and Sweeney into the Tigers organization, even though a Flaherty with a cleaner recent medical history might have brought more.
Lux not ready for full time role.
Treinen has been bad I said it last week. He has no business being in the save role. He has one pitch a slider so he throws machado a first pitch fastball. Just dumb!!
Compared to what Treinen used to have years ago, his FB velo is down, and it just doesn’t have life on the tail end anymore.
Dodgers need a closer. The Padres have 3.
Outman needs to go.
Gotta score 8.
8 is your magic number Badger😀
Well that totally sucked. 2 for 10 RISP, 13 SO and bullpen blows again.
I’m glad I my wife made me watch the women’s gymnastics tonight
Good choice. I was flipping back and forth.
