& kemp is gone, wow kinda sad to see him go but understand what needs to be done.

How quickly kemp fell off, hope he continues his modeling career in sd.

I still hope they can flip craw / ethier

Gonzo / howie / jimmy / uribe / craw / joc / puig / grandal
 
Good by Matty. I'll never forget 2011 were Kershaw and him were basically the team. Still a shame he got robbed.

Wish it would've been Ethier or Crawford. It is what it is.
 
I think we may wind up with Hamels. It's a little intriguing that the Philly deal hasn't been "completed" yet :nerd:

 i didnt want to see kemp go.

shouldve just ate part of eithier/crawford's deals. a lot of it

the team has lost a lot of offense. other than gonzo and puig, who else is gonna hit 20 HR"s? 

this front office is getting computers putin
 
My heart hurts a bit but the FO addressed areas of weakness with an area of strength and excess...

You know Matt is circling all of those division games against LA on his calendar though...

Still feel there are a couple of more moves to be made.

Don't think Ethier stays with the club, maybe they throw him in a potential Hamels/Rollins deal.

Even with Kemp gone, OF is still crowded:

RF Puig
CF Pederson
LF Crawford
4th Ethier
5th Van Slyke

Ship Ethier out and Van Slyke will be the 4th.
 
My brain is scrambled atm...I need to let it all sink in and really ask myself if we're better today than we were during the 42-8 run and last yr.. It's all so much, so fast.

Friedman is a moneyball guy. I have to expect this. But so was DePo...and Depo took a 2004 playoff team and didnt add pieces to it, he blew it up and did it "his way" with "his guys"....

19 times, we'll get to see Matty.

At least we still have Vinny.

Damn. Kemp was my fave player after taking the torch from S.Green and Mondesi before that. Now what? :frown: Joc better live up to the hype

And hate how he's now stuck in shutter Island. At least Dee gets to go home and play with Stanton.

FO better be right about this because this is one move Dodger fans wont forget. It makes sense to make this move if you're the frugal TB Rays. Not when you have an infinite payroll. Hell, we just paid Dee & Haren to play for the Marlins :lol:

Anyways, is Hamel next? :nerd:
 
Sheff for jordan/odalis freekin perez...beltre...kemp. As it stands right now.

SS-Rollins
2B-Kendrick
RF-Puig
1B-Gonzalez
LF-Ethier
CF-Pederson
3B-Uribe
C-Grandal
P-Kershaw

That's the opening day lineup.
I'm torn.
 
Fans are ******ed, glad this FO is making solid baseball moves as opposed to fan base pleasing moves.

"Infinite payroll", which is asinine to believe the Dodgers have an "infinite payroll", will not make a decent catcher appear out of thin air. They went after Martin, less years, higher annual salary and he chose to go home.

Can't dump Crawford or Ethier when nobody wants them. As much as your girlfriends would love to give Ethier a hand jibber, and love wearing his shirsey...none of the other 29 GM's are biting and that is with the Dodgers eating money like Pacman right now.

Filled the hole at SS
Turned Dee Gordon into Howie Kendrick
Turned Matt Kemp into an upgrade at Catcher
Picked up a fourth starter

Sounds pretty good from a baseball perspective.
 
Damn. Kemp was my fave player after taking the torch from S.Green and Mondesi before that. Now what? :frown: Joc better live up to the hype

I'll start off with a guy named Clayton Kershaw...

If that is not enough you have Greinke, Ryu, Gonzales and Puig as well.

The new guys aren't chumps either.
 
Most of us "******ed" fans liked the moves except the Kemp one. Us "******s" are also aware Crawford and Ethier are not prized commodities. I wanted the infield defense to improved and they did it. No gripes from this "******"

And Is anyone here even infuriated by the Kemp deal? Sounds like most are disappointed but understand the reasoning. Big Kemp fan and it'll sting a bit but my "******ed" self will get over it.

Cant. I dig the long ball. I have a foot on the Joc bandwagon. I'll be riding full steam and saying "Kemp who? if he's the real deal

When profile pics and response fit perfectly!
I'll take it. The man is on the best show on TV and an Emmy and Golden Globe winner. "******" must be doing something right....

In all seriousness, my mistake if you werent calling everyone here ******s. Hell, you probably just meant me since a "subtweet" was after it.

Moving on, looks like the Rollins deal is being finalized, no Hamels at the moment.

So they flipped Dee Gordon, Miguel Rojas, Dan Haren, Matt Kemp and tons of cash for Jimmy Rollins, Howie Kendrick, Yasmani Grandal and cash. (Prospects as well on all sides)

I like it. Two things that were urgent needs was a good catcher and a decent shortstop. They did both. Still work to do, it's only 12/10.
 
looking at the deal santana just got from the twins, we really overpaid for mccarthy giving him that 4th year.
