If Parra gets 600 PAs next year he’s a lock for 20-20.

Come on Angels. Make something happen. I prefer Blackmon or Dickerson personally.

Funny, the Rox spoke highly of Tulo and considered him a cornerstone as well. Look how they did him.
Ray Ray
How they did him? You mean having paid him tens of millions of dollars, treated him like a baseball god for nearly 10 years, and sent him from a last place team to a division winning team for the first time in his career. Yeah, they really done him wrong.
The Oregonian
Exactly. Rockies treated Tulo just fine, he was just a whiner.

One made out of glass nonetheless.

The ROX had Tulo for almost ten years. Only twice has he played 150+ games. He’s been out of the lineup a lot….he has a huge contract and they saw a way to try and get some young prospects to rebuild. They did him pretty well IMO.

The only thing the Rockies did wrong was not giving Tulo a real official heads up when they traded him. Tulo found out he was traded when Weiss pulled him from the game, I don’t think the owner came down to tell Tulo in person.

the owner of a team owes a player his paycheck on time. that’s it. tulo got paid extremely well. tulo knew he was being shopped around and sometimes, deals get made in the blink of an eye and when the deal IS made….the player must be pulled from the lineup immediately.
JT19
I agree, I think the only problem was that the owner agreed to ask for Tulo’s blessing or at least give him a personal heads up when he got traded. The owner didn’t do that until he was pulled from the game. Didn’t have to but I think the least the owner could’ve done was to at least come down and be there when he gets pulled.

The “experts” have been saying the Dodgers need to trade from their OF surplus for a long time but they had needed that depth….and have used it….
Considering Car Go is injury prone(even if some are freak injuries) having 4 solid OF is a plus not a negative.
stymeedone
But not as big a positive as if at least one was right handed.
SoCalShu
Why would it be better if the team is balanced r/l? Nothing gets said when OF are all RH’d.

Wilin Rosario is heading to the KBO!

Having for outfielders is a positive except when you have weakness at other positions that you can’t fill because of the positive in your outfield. You have one as a bench player everyday while you lack in other areas. They didn’t sign parra for nothing. If someone was switching positions he could have cleared that up quickly but he didn’t. Someone’s getting moved by spring no doubt in my mind.
Strauss
This sounds like the same dilemma as the 76ers

I’m thinking CarGo or Parra will get some reps at firstbase. Parra played a few games at first during Spring Training with the Brewers a couple years back. And apparently CarGo takes infield practice all the time, and is quite good. Moving him to first might help keep him off the DL.

This is simply an attempt by Bridich to publicly reinforce his commitment to his high asking price for each of these players. Obviously many teams have checked in and several have standing offers out there on these Rox players. The market has changed a bit after the Upton signing and Bridich is ramping up the pressure by saying my position and asking price has not changed. One of these OFs will be moved before opening day.
