Dee Gordon posted a .648 OPS the second half of the season.

 

For reference Adeiny Hechavarria posted a .688 OPS in the second half of the season.

 

Literally Hechavarria was a better hitter than Gordon to end last season.

 

I think I hate this trade more than I hated it twenty minutes ago, and I really hated it then.

 

 

 

Fuck me. Dodgers raped.

Do people realize Gordon was a .360 OBP in 6 minor league seasons. He will get better. Already an all star. Jesus the guys a stud people.

 

Minor league numbers are not as useful as you think they are. He hasn't done anything close to that in the majors, so it's not like we're just predicting with nothing to support our disgust.

 

 

I wish we had traded with the Tigers now.

We'd get back a sandwich. A 4 tool sandwich, mind you. But still.

 

 

I'm not in love but I don't completely hate it. For those that question the defense or say he is just average please look at his stats. Gordon is a career .981 fielder at 2B in MLB and has a ton of range which means he gets to balls most other don't.

 

As far as his hitting his minor league numbers were about par with our current best hitting infield prospect but Dee has fantastic speed and knows how to use it. His major league numbers (minus the lack of walks) are better than we are giving him credit for. In just three limited seasons in MLB he has an avg. of .272, 43 doubles, 17 triples and (oh yeah 130 stolen bases). He swipes a bag about 33% of the time he is on base. Was also an All-Star in just his first full season. When he gets more plate discipline which will come this guy will be a terror at the top of the lineup. He may not have any power but with his speed in our ballpark I fully expect the doubles and triples to increase significantly.

 

As far as what we gave up, I do agree it is a lot,,,,but it is all prospects and nothing proven. Kike was the only player somewhat proven and he profiles best as a utility player (as does Barnes) which in my book is a player not good enough to have a real position. Heaney has some upside but I honestly don't see him as more than a #3 even at his best. He has good command of his 3 pitches but is not overpowering and yes I realize he is young but maybe his MLB stats are a sign of the future. We are deep in pitching prospects. I would have like to see us get more as a secondary player with Gordon but I'm not ready to bash the guy like the rest of you. He looks to be an immediate impact player and has the tools to get much better.

We could eat that sandwich though. It probably has cheese on it.

as of 445 pt, haren hasnt been told of trade agreement sending him to marlins. he's said he'll retire if not on LAD/LAA

 

 

But what about his WUBDHDWWBHJW?!

 

 

4 out of 10. Boo

dodgers asked for nicolino; miami said no, value him higher than heaney. accrd to Craig Mish

Dombrowski never puts cheese on his sandwiches. I read that somewhere once.

 

 

Ya gotta think the Angels have all the leverage in a flip deal for Haren. They could literally offer a few bats and a Pujols jersey and we'd have to accept it.

 

 

What does that even mean.

THE

 

FUCK

 

IS

 

GOING

 

ON

With the inclusion of hatcher and kiké Marlins may have been looking to open spots for the Rule V draft as well

Ha there's the cost cutting Marlins doing what they do best.... Haren is a potentially free pitcher. Pfft. Stanton is gonna definitely opt out now.

clarkspencer @clarkspencer

Hearing that #dodgers, as part of trade with #Marlins, agreed to pay Haren's $10 million. So Haren is a "free pitcher" for #Marlins.

 

So if/when Haren retires, Loria just got $10 million for keepsies.

They should go after that Mark Canha guy he would fit well with this team.

 

 

What does that even mean.

 

That the Dodgers are paying his salary. So in theory, if we spin him off to the Angels, he'd be more valuable since he'd cost them nothing. Then again they don't care about money

I don't think the money is sent to Loria, I think they are just on the hook for his contract. If he doesn't play, LA pays nada

nah dawg.

 

 

Yeah...think some of you guys are doing the opposite of what you're saying the FO is doing, overvaluing our own prospects and undervaluing other team prospects. I do agree we gave up a bit much, but it's not as bad as some are saying.
