1. The definitely immoral Eric Enders Posted: May 05, 2005 at 03:38 PM (#1313498)Not so fast, we coveted him first.
Do you think Sleepy Ed Wade can figure out that there may be an opportunity here?
Bell, Polanco, Byrd, Lofton, Michaels, Worrell, Adams, Cormier... these are all serviceable parts that I think could be traded.
...and no, Worrell is not "really" serviceable... but he has the aura of "proven closer'" on his resume and thus some schmuck would no doubt take him off Eddie's hands.
Too bad he's having such an awful time after a great start :`(
No worries!
Randa won't set the world on fire, but he's an average defender with a reliable .265-.275 EQA. I believe's he's only under contract for 2005 for a couple million. And I'm willing to bet that he'll come cheaper in a trade than Polanco.
I'd think Ginter goes before Ellis. Ellis is an organization favorite and the starting 2B. I could see Scutaro going rather than Ellis.
Ginter's a possibility, although the Dodgers really need a solid glove at 3B and that's not Ginter. Also I don't know if Beane's in a position right now to part with any offense.
If they want Kent to stay at second, and the trade option is a defensively adequate 3b who hits like a second baseman, again they have Antonio Perez.
actually the kid can really hit and take walks..now if he could only keep his head in the game.
The negative reaction would be warranted, because it would be a terrible trade for both teams.
The Dodgers don't need a shortstop; they've got a 25yo SS who has already reached what Reyes' upside is. They have Jeff Kent playing 2B, and very, very well, I might add. Why turn an excellent defensive 2B into a bad defensive 3B? He'd lose a huge amount of his value. The last thing they need is to give up Weaver and one of their best young relievers for a player who will not help them in any way, shape, or form in the short term, and wouldn't be too useful long-term either.
Reyes is far more valuable to the Mets than he is to the Dodgers.
I also read that Robles needs to stay on the roster all season? Why couldn't they option him?
Defensively, he's been an everyday utility man the last several years, playing mainly second the last two years (fielding .983 both seasons), and third the prior three. He hasn't played much short since 2000, which could be an indictment of his arm (or, could have to do with his teammates - I dunno). The last three years, he's fielded .945 in 119 games, with 64 PO, 244 A, 18 E, 28 DP at third.
The Dodgers are talking about him as a utility man, with the occasional appearance at third base, but mainly backing up the middle infield. Antonio Perez, their erstwhile utilityman, has been playing third base at Vegas during his rehab stint.
In terms of why Robles wasn't playing for Vegas - the owner of the Red Devils wouldn't let him - he could be bought out of his contract to be in the majors, but not to be in the minors.
It's about time - Kent needs a day off, as does Izturis. I'm guessing that Robles will get a late inning replacement gig once or twice, and then start at second to rest Kent.
