December 9, 201411 yr http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/12/dodgers-open-to-trading-dee-gordon.html Finally, Dee Gordon was listed. How about it?
December 9, 201411 yr Why Not? He is speedster and could fit for No. 2 spot. His BABIP was an unsustainable (even with his speed) .346. He has no power and gets on base about as much as Salty (.326 for Dee, .320 for Salty). He's a bad defender, too. His projected 2015: .256/.307/.331. For reference, everyone's favorite Solano Bro is projected for a very similar 2015 (but with fewer steals, of course): .253/.303/.338.

December 10, 201411 yr I'd attempt Gordon at a fairly low cost, like I think even Nicolino would be too high of a price.
December 10, 201411 yr Wild Card probably got a boner hearing Dee Gordon is available Absolutely. Of the options available, he fits this team best. I would be fucking thrilled with Gordon. http://www.truebluela.com/2014/12/9/7363825/dee-gordon-trade-rumors-dodgers-marlins That's a good read on the situation. Sounds like the Dodgers are trying to quietly sell on him with Guerrero waiting in the wings. I'd love to have him, I think he would be the perfect fit at the top of our order.

Those "fewer steals" were worth a whole win by themselves last year. 346 is high but not that crazy for him. He's not a bad defender, he's an average defender. The same projection you used for hitting projects him as an average defender next year. I don't think that both his babip and his baserunning will both crater like they do though. In his first full season this year he was worth 3 wins and made the minimum. He has four more years of control and has some upside on that 3 wins (could walk more, could raise his iso with more doubles and triples in our stadium, could be a slightly above average glove). If he regresses some he could be a two win guy which is still good for us. If it mostly goes bad he's a one win guy which is still a win for 500k. I would absolutely want him for some of these names being thrown around here. Hopefully the Dodgers agree but I think they would want more.
December 10, 201411 yr I love Dee Gordon's skillset he just needs to take a freakin BB once in awhile...If the Marlins want him to lead off the line-up he would have work to do in the area of patience and pitch recognition. His stats include a McGehee type slide last year. In His first full season he was at the all-star game. However 31 BB in 650 PA jut is atrocious for a lead-off hitter. Reference to his defense, he has shown great improvement to the point of being an average defender, although I would love to see more than 84 DP but then again his SS was H2R most of the time If the Marlins can't get Dee Gordon can they get Darwin Barney instead...then maybe not!

December 10, 201411 yr I feel like we really want to make a stupid trade but other teams simply won't let us
December 10, 201411 yr I know its "just Frisaro" but he claims we could actually have a new first baseman, second baseman, and starting pitcher sometime today. Whatever's happening behind the scenes has to be clearing itself up.
December 10, 201411 yr LA claims he isn't available anyway Correction, they said they aren't shopping him. They never said he's not available.

December 10, 201411 yr Correction, they said they aren't shopping him. They never said he's not available. You're right, there is a difference
December 10, 201411 yr I know its "just Frisaro" but he claims we could actually have a new first baseman, second baseman, and starting pitcher sometime today. Whatever's happening behind the scenes has to be clearing itself up. Infante, Tulo, and Morneau in some convoluted three team trade I didn't think we could pull off- And Peavy for two and 25.
December 10, 201411 yr Infante, Tulo, and Morneau in some convoluted three team trade I didn't think we could pull off- And Peavy for two and 25. I'd rather go with Hernandez/Dietrich over Infante. That seems like a lateral move. Tulo and Morneau would be unbelievable but I feel like it would also be terribly impossible.
December 10, 201411 yr I'd rather go with Hernandez/Dietrich over Infante. That seems like a lateral move. Tulo and Morneau would be unbelievable but I feel like it would also be terribly impossible. I could see a random deal with the A's for something like Samardzjia and Lowrie being realistic. Samardzija has been traded to the White Sox and Lowrie is a FA
