Odds & Ends: Lackey, Rangers, Mets

Sounds like the Dodgers are interested in Lackey....

Check it out. Post's are finally working. What happened?

Same here and considering my comp has been acting up I figured it was going to hell. The way it looks is they upgraded the comment section.

so it wasnt just me? I actually emailed MLBTR trying to see if it was just me or a website thing...

I sent one too, I said they should at least alert us.. Its been going for a few hours.

I had no idea anything was actually wrong, until all the posts wouldnt let me log in. And it wouldnt matter if i refresed the page...

Because I was able to post early this morning, i figured it was something with my computer, and thats why i sent the email

Joey, I didnt really put it together... I figured it was more centered around someone Like Dee Gordon.. But Kershaw makes even more sense.

Joey, I don't think that's what was going on. Colletti said that the Dodgers offered three players for Lee, and then decided to add a fourth player close to the deadline, but the Indians ended up going with Philly. Patrick asked if Ethier or Kemp were part of the trade and Colletti said no, but they weren't referring to the identity of that fourth player. Ethier, Kemp and Kershaw aren't last minute additions to a trade. I think he was referring to someone in the system they think highly of, but Colletti just didn't want to say who it was.

scatterbrian: good stuff, thanks

vta, thats f'in insane. Thats our #1(McDonald), #2(Martin), #3(Lambo), #4(Gordon), and our #5(Withrow). And they got s**t from the Phils. Dumb Indians...

2nd base help? Why do the Dodgers hate Orlando Hudson so much?

Its pretty obvious that he was a 1 yr guy and that there isnt a long term future. He wants a 3 yr deal and the dodgers have too many internal options to go long term at another IF spot...

Priority= sign john lackey or trade for a ace to be your 1a.

Or be like the yankees and sign matt holliday, john lackey and joel pinero

Forget about matt holliday and sign john lackey to a 5year 90 million deal
And trade for roy halladay giving up jennry mejia, reuben tejada, scott moviel, wilmer flores, jon niese, and jefrey marte. Anyone but fernando martinez ike davis and bradley holt because they could/ should be part of 2010- 2011 lineup/ pitching staff

Mid season trade if possible for a bat but pitching should be a ble to carry the lineup

Not sure what's wrong with Hudson, Belliard, or Dewitt...but I can see them snatching Freddy Sanchez away from the Giants. He would rather play for the Doyers and have a chance to go to the playoffs...Giants will play Velez at 2nd, Uribe at 3rd and make a run at Jason Bay.

"And trade for roy halladay giving up jennry mejia, reuben tejada, scott moviel, wilmer flores, jon niese, and jefrey marte"

That's actually not the worst offer, it's just more quantity than quality.

Mejia is an excellent prospect, Niese, Moviel and Tejada are solid but have relatively low upsides, and the two high-upside guys, Flores and Marte, had rough years in A ball, although there's still a lot of time for improvement there.

Certainly a decent offer for one year of an ace, but I'm just not sure that the Blue Jays deal their ace without getting that cornerstone-type prospect in return, like Fernando Martinez.

Then again, there was no cornerstone-type in the Cliff Lee trade, Knapp is too far away to be considered that type of prospect yet, and Lee was under control for longer at a cheaper rate.
