    Dodgers were 21st in WAR at 2B and it came from Utley (2.0 WAR) who is gone (as of now), right?

    If the Twins are holding up a trade offer that has DeLeon and Alvarez/Bellinger already there, and it falls through, IMO, that's a failure. I have been saying all along that getting Bellinger or Alvarez in this trade would be a major coup in a Dozier trade.

    I think if you believe Cameron is too much of a Mariners homer, you really don't read much of his stuff. Just because he started the U.S.S Mariner 15 years ago or so doesn't mean much nowadays. He's way past that and focuses on baseball overall as the managing editor of Fangraphs the last 7 years. Here's a guy who nailed what it would take for Boston to get Sale back in July. Cameron gets a ton of things right. He doesn't get invited to ESPN and MLB network to talk Mariner stuff, it's baseball overall. I also think because of all the unnecessary, and sometimes over the line, bashing you've taken over this, you are overly sensitive to any contradictory opinion. Just my view, man.

    I haven't looked into Braun cause he's not an IF. None of the other are worth much either. Dozier isn't worth what many think either.

    Dozier is also 30 and only has two years of retainabililty.

    He's still laughing about the contract Ryan gave him after one outlier season.

    Holland hasn't pitched in a year and didn't pitch that well in 2015. He should be looking to establish himself again on a 1 year deal, not costing a ton.

    We desperately need talent everywhere including 3B. No minor league depth at 3B at all and we're going to need someone there soon.

    'The Terry Ryan tenure ushered in a lot of very good, high-profile, high-ceiling types of prospects.' Not sure we have a lot of high ceiling types, but many of our good prospects were acquired during the Bill Smith era.

    This projected team makes me nauseous.

    Offensively, Rosario was the same player in 2016 as he was in 2015, just without the unsustainable amount of triples. And it's not like the dropoff in triples wasn't predicted by many. It was easy to see coming. His BB%, his K%, nearly identical. His BA was nearly identical and his OBP was actually 7 points higher (though still sub .300). The drop was in slg% due to unsustainable amount of triples. He didn't have a sophomore slump. Same player, without the triples.

    From Cameron's chat today: Chris: Wondering what you think of a Dozier trade to the Dodgers. I’ve heard rumors of DeLeon, Alvarez and one or two lesser pieces. Better for Twins or Dodgers? Dave Cameron: I wouldn’t give up that much.

    his .280 BAPIP in 2016 was a career high.
  15. jimmer
    exactly.

    Doesnt matter what the weather is like, Utah drivers are the worst i have ever been around. Coming from a guy who has driven in places like Panama, cyprus and qatar.

    FTFY.

    I'd be happy with no additional vets at all.

    Their for sure window is two years. After that, Kershaw can opt out Dozier is incredibly inexpensive and if money was their issue, they wouldn't have just spent 16M a year for 5 years for a closer.
  20. jimmer
    now that jansen is a done deal and turner is about to be, the trade will hopefully happen.
  21. jimmer
    Really bad defense makes pitching look worse than it is and really good defense makes pitching look better. Nolasco in 2016 is an example. Our pitching is very, very bad, but our horrible defense makes it look even worse.
  22. jimmer
    Well, we just set a franchise record for losses WITH Dozier and Santana...I mean seriously. One of the things that has killed this team is not trading players who are at peak (or close to peak) trade value with few years left of team control. I'd like for that to stop. It's not like Dozier is 24 and 5 years of control left. We need prospects to help us for when we may actually be contenders again. Even if we don't trade them, Dozier won't be with us when that happens and I doubt Santana will be either.

    Hate is such a strong word... ;-)

    I suppose it makes more sense to ride out Santana when we stink. Instead of taking advantage of the market and selling high, better to wait till he gets hurt or starts declining or his contract runs out, and we get nothing to help us when we hopefully have a chance to be contenders. Sounds like a much better idea.
