Well, for sure, Dozier isn't worth a package that includes JDL AND Alvarez AND Stewart. He is worth JDL and another decent prospect though (someone like Buehler, Stewart, Sheffield, Lux)
Concerning players some believe we could/should get for Dozier Adam: I am dialed up to 11 right now on Yadier Alvarez after seeing how effortlessly he can throw 99. Can you talk me down from that? Eric A Longenhagen: No, I’ve already jumped. Bob: I think everyone is expecting Bellinger to mash at OKC at get called up pretty early, how long can he sustain playing respectable defense in LF? Eric A Longenhagen: For eh ver. I’ve spoken with scouts who think he could pass in CF. Dude is a freak. Eric A Longenhagen: But he’s a 70 glove at 1B so I think that’s ultimately where he ends up.
Some sites ranks guys higher when they are closer to the majors (like MLB.COM). Baseball America (along with many sites) haven't even released their pre-2017 listings yet (I think it's good to wait to quote sites rankings after they take into account what the players did in 2016), but post 2016 season, Fangraphs has him #6 Dodgers prospect and Alvarez #1.
After the 2015 season, I pointed out in here that I had thought Gibson had gotten worse compared to how he did in 2014 and I highly recommended trading him while he still might have some value and we could get some sucker to take him off our hands. I had him and Rosario as the players who would disappoint the most based on some people's expectations. And then 2016 happened and now we are stuck with him (until/unless the FO does a Plouffe on him next offseason).
A much better idea to see him leave after two seasons and get nothing. And Dozier isn't close to what Killebrew was. Dozier is 30 early into next season and has had one season with a wRC+ over 120. Killebrew was 23 when he had his first season with a wRC+ over 120 and then he had 13 more in a row. All 14 of those seasons, Harmon had a higher wRC+ than Dozier just did in his career year. In fact, Harmon's career wRC+ is 10 points higher than Dozier's was during his career season.
Between Kendrick, Ethier, Guerrero and Crawford, I think the Dodgers shed around 50M after 2017 season. Then another 23M after the 2018 season when AGone is gone.
There isn't a player in MLB I would take over Trout. Most valuable player in the game. Pitchers still need the catcher to help manage the game plan, the defense to field the ball and the offense to score runs for him. No one player carries a team, regardless of position, regardless of the traditional thinking we've been taught.
I hope everyone who is advocating keeping Dozier if the Dodgers don't overspend for him won't be the same people who complain when we get less for him next offseason or nothing for him when he leaves after two seasons. Two years of Dozier, even at the salary he will be getting, isn't worth 3 top Dodgers prospects. Dodgers shouldn't give up De Leon and Bellinger for him and I highly doubt they will.
