Jays Scouting Dodgers' A Ball Team
Yesterday I neglected to mention a nugget from Jeff Blair's blog post:
Sources say the Blue Jays have also zeroed in on the Los Angeles Dodgers, and have had people at games involving their Single-A Great Lakes Loons affiliate.
The best prospects on that team are probably Bryan Morris and Andrew Lambo, according to Baseball America. But how would the Dodgers and Jays match up?
Matt Stairs might make sense for the Dodgers. On July 1st, Ken Rosenthal suggested he'd be perfect and that the two teams had spoken. The Dodgers have also been linked to David Eckstein. A.J. Burnett is unlikely - Jayson Stark said yesterday that the Dodgers probably weren't looking for pitchers after missing out on CC Sabathia.

Andrew Lambo and Bryan Morris for Matt Stairs? No thanks. Lambo has been compared to James Loney, while Bryan Morris is a former first round pick who is healthy now and dominating in his first year back from TJ surgery.

No, I didn't mean to make that connection. I just wanted to toss out some notable prospects from that team.

Morris might be worth Eckstein, and I can see Eckstein wanting to move back to L.A. The fans would probably be behind the deal, as there are very few who are divided the way Yankees/Mets or Cubs/White Sox fans are. He hits well with RISP and can get on base, which works perfectly into the Dodgers' scheme.

Plus, David Eckstein isn't Nomar Garciaparra. Why anyone would think he could regularly play shortstop is nuts

Hey,I got David to sign my Jays cap this year i was hoping it would be worth some money soon! No,just joking i think David is a good player but the jays got to many infilders so a trade to LA. would be good,I also think that trading A.J to LA. would be cool any idea what the jays could get for him.I also just herd he might go to the Phils for JA somebody.

Who could? Nomar or Eck? Nomar was an excellent shortstop for years, and still handles himself very well there. His injury issues are a problem, but they would be a problem no matter where he is playing.
