Time and place Mr. William. This is a baseball forum, not a place for you to start political debates.

Ha…only debate I was having was internal….over what took so long to hear from.a grandstanding politician.

Please keep the political nonsense off this site!! This is just about the only site left that doesn’t get into a political debate with every posting.. Let’s keep it that way!!

maybe if MLB had Obamacare, so many pitchers wouldn’t need tommy john surgery!!!! 🙂
alex navarrette
I don’t know why, but I laughed way too hard at this comment.

It’s amazing the Dodgers still haven’t acquired decent pitching to bolster the rotation.

Teams think they can get Urias, Joc, or Seager
Philliesfan4life
I really think they go after Hamels and they deal Urias because the phillies will eat some of the contract to get the return they want
BlueSkyLA
Yet. A comfortable lead going into the All Star break gives them the opportunity to see what they’ve got in Beachy.
thecoffinnail
Beachy is a quality pitcher when healthy.. If he remains healthy and the Dodgers keep Greinke or sign someone who has something close to his abilities they will have a very solid rotation that will be more than adequate next year..
#1 Kershaw
#2 Greinke (or someone equal)
#3 Ryu
#4 McCarthy
#5 Beachy
Plus, if either Beachy or McCarthy go down Urias will be ready to take their place.. That kid is only 18 and handling himself nicely in AA this year.. He just came off the DL (benign mass in his eye) and was dominant.. He might even get a call up in September and join the bullpen.. Next year the Dodgers will have 2 aces and 3 solid #3’s with another potential ace in Urias.. They don’t need anyone else.. A cheap solid rental like Kazmir would be perfect to finish this year.. With Kershaw and Greinke why would they need a Cueto or Price? Granted, Greinke is going to definitely opt out but that doesn’t mean he is leaving the Dodgers.. He will Just resign with a year or two being added to his deal.. Something similar to what Sabathia did a few years ago..

Greinke is going to opt out and I think they end up trading for Hamels, no way they trade for Cueto.
BlueSkyLA
Hamels didn’t do much to improve his trade value last night. Cueto I agree is likely out of reach.
BlueSkyLA
Ryu should be back the beginning of next season but McCarthy probably not. Recovery from TJ, minimum, one year, so May-June is probably more realistic. Beachy gets his first start today so we will see, but if he’s even close to as good as he was in Atlanta, the Dodgers will have made a very smart move by taking a flier on him. Kazmir I like as a drop-in replacement. Cheap I am not so sure but unlike Hamels he probably won’t cost a major prospect.

stoneman has never made a deal
Philliesfan4life
Well they do need to make a deal to get a couple bats, I hope they can get Parra or Adam Lind, but I bet both won’t come cheap.
thecoffinnail
I am really hoping they get Lind.. Can you imagine the numbers he could put up being protected by Trout and Pujols? If not Lind, then I hope they go after Prado.. He seems to be the type of player that excels on good teams and slumps on bad ones..
Philliesfan4life
Prado would be the perfect grinder type bat in the angels line up, I was watching High Heat with Chris Russo yesterday and his guest brought up a good point, saying that greinke will opt out of his contract and that it will be a battle between LA, the angels and dodgers go into a bidding war for him, But I doubt Arte will go after him, just like he didn’t the last time when he was a free agent.
Dock_Elvis
Could be a bidding war,.but Greinke does like to bat.
Philliesfan4life
He does like to bat but If the angels do enough at the deadline , and there could be a way to convince him back to the angels, But the angels do have a lot of depth in the pitching department, one thing that Dipoto did a great job of. I say trade C.J Wilson if they can because he will be a free agent after next year and so will weaver But Weaver I hope they keep him around.
alex navarrette
While Greinke is an asset to any rotation, I’d actually prefer that the Angels sign a bat or two in the offseason, rather than using our minimal funds on more pitching. I know most people assume the Angels have no minor league talent, but we are super deep in pitching talent.
Philliesfan4life
I agree before dipoto left , he made sure that he built up the farm on pitching talent. But at the deadline they need to get a leadoff hitter or a good bat to protect pujols. And in the offseason they should look at adding Upton , Cespedes or Heyward.
