Green Gone To Arizona
Shawn Green and the Diamondbacks have agreed to a 3-year, $30M deal, according to the AP.
ESPN, fix your fargin' website.
Update: on dodgers.com, $32M/3 years, with a fourth-year option for $8M. Also, the two throw-in pitching prospects have been named:
- Dan Muegge, a former University of Texas pitcher. The highest level he's played at is single-A, with a 14-4 record, and a 3.12 ERA. His peripherals, 6.12 K/9 and 2.48 K/BB, show a pitcher with mediocre stuff. The Midwest League is generally a pitcher's league, and South Bend is the third-best pitcher's park in the league.
- Beltran Perez, a name that sounds like he's trying to get into the majors by adopting the last name of as many free agents as possible, had a 4.41 ERA with a 2-6 record in AA El Paso, in the best hitter's park in a hitter's league. As with Muegge, a 6.66 K/9 and and 1.66 K/BB don't speak highly of his abilities at this level.
Comments:
And yet, here we are five weeks or less from spring training with no signed coaching staff. Tommy Hawkins quit because no one contacted him about a new contract.
Rumour has it that the Dodger front office is in turmoil with no clear direction and a severe lack of communication.
Who has the reins????

"Alert the troops that communications have completely broken down!"
AHB -- I submit: if they had, how would you know?

Don -- I certainly understand the reasoning behind the Green trade -- he's overpriced and redundant, and the team needs pitching more than Green's risky bat. However, Choi remains in my mind an even bigger gamble. This will be the first season anywhere where he's ever been required to carry his position offensively. To say that I'm not concerned would be incorrect, but DePo's a smart guy -- generally -- and while I don't always agree with his moves, I do think he's at least coherently shifting the Dodgers to the kind of team he wants (higher OBP, revamped pitching, younger, younger, younger).
