Pickoff Moves
The Dodgers Prospect Mystery Machine
After making their 40-man protection maneuvers, Jon handed the podium to CanuckDodger for very substantive read on the oddities of this particular set. The Dodgers sent Xavier Paul, Lucas May, James McDonald, Ramon Troncoso, Justin Orenduff, Mario Alvarez and Cory Wade to the 40-man while outrighting Mike Megrew. It was a "mix [of] the predictable with the astounding", because missing from the list was Wesley Wright:Now, it's possible that the Dodgers know something about Wright that hasn't been told to the public - such as Wright is hurt, or the Dodgers suspect his arm will fall off soon - but outside of that possibility, the Dodgers' protecting Alvarez over Wright is a monumental head-scratcher, and in my opinion, represents a Dodger front-office miscalculation. But, alas, such miscalculations are something to which the current Dodger front-office personnel are very far from strangers.Jon's shared platform, on these matters at least, makes a good thing even better.
Tim Brown On The Dodgers' Offseason
In which Tim Brown tries to predict the Dodgers' offseason moves:More likely, Colletti draws on his farm system to upgrade at third base with Miguel Cabrera or Joe Crede. He could expand a trade with the Florida Marlins to include Dontrelle Willis, though Willis' value isn't close to what it was a year or two ago, and the Marlins don't quite recognize that yet. If they were to spend their prospects, they'd do well to bring back Johan Santana or Eric Bedard, exceptional left-handers who might be had because they are close to free agency.
Angels' FO To Fall Asleep Until Winter Meetings
At least, that's the rumor. I expect a big change in front office approach unlikely, but Reagins isn't Stoneman. That could be good or bad.Eric Chavez, Career A — Injured Or No
Billy Beane apparently told Eric Chavez that he would be in Oakland his whole career. How long is that career going to be?"Billy told me he'd never even thought about [trading him]," Chavez said. "He said he planned on having me here my whole career."Given that he's got chips in his shoulder that need to be removed, that statement may yet prove correct.
