Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Berkman, Dunn, Dodgers

By Mike Axisa | July 30, 2010 at 9:23am CDT

On this date two years ago, Ichiro Suzuki picked up his 3,000th career hit with a first inning single against the Rangers. The hit was his 1,722nd in the big leagues, which came after he racked up 1,278 hits with the Orix Blue Wave in Japan's Pacific League. Including the postseason, the 36-year-old Ichiro has 3,456 career base hits to his credit, a staggering number no matter how you look at it.

Here is the latest from around the baseball blogosphere, a day before the non-waiver trade deadline…

  • Phoul Ballz spoke to Lakewood Blue Claws manager Mark Parent about Jonathan Villar's inclusion in the Roy Oswalt deal. Parent managed Villar this season.
  • Pale Hose Pariah looks at the trade value of Lance Berkman and Brad Hawpe.
  • River Ave. Blues wants to see the Yankees swing a trade for Berkman to be the team's designated hitter.
  • 1 Blue Jays Way breaks down to the Anthony Gose–Brett Wallace swap.
  • The Process Report tackles the Adam Dunn to the Rays rumor.
  • Meanwhile, SD Sports Net wants to see the Padres trade for Dunn.
  • Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness explains why the Dodgers shouldn't add a starter before the deadline.
  • Pittsburgh Lumber Co. calculates Paul Maholm's trade value.
  • Scouting The Sally compares the trade value of top prospects Jesus Montero and Wilmer Flores.
  • Blogging From The Bleachers breaks down the various Cliff Lee hauls.
  • Bleacher GM steps into Dave Dombrowski's shoes for a little while.
  • More Hardball looks back at some terrible trades from the 1990's.

    I would argue that 4-9 with 2 HR, this series means Hawpe is out of his funk. Plus he is cheaper and has always performed much better than he is right now. Buy Low sell high, Astros just sold Oswalt, so have cut payroll, the Rockies really want to move Hawpe and Cook still, pus Berkman is owed 5.5 mil for the rest of the year? Ouch.

    Hey Mike, there wasn’t anything wrong with the Bleacher GM Tigers article, but it was 10 days old and didn’t account for Maggs/Guillen injury so even at 10 days, it’s a bit dated.

    Interesting calc on Maholm — I’d love to see that SAME calc done on Capps…and how it applied to the Capps for Ramos+ trade.

    NOT that the calc holds any water, but it was interesting to see it done that way.

    I truly believe many people do not realize just how big a prospect Montero is. Many GM’s will be kicking themselves for not considering him in some of the proposals that have been made. I for one, am quite content he was not traded. I’m never that high on prospects, because frankly, I don’t see them play. I’ve been following Montero closely. Un-freaking-believable.

      Century: I’d be much more interested in him if I was in the AL. He can FLAT OUT mash, but will end up being a 1B/DH. I think the Yankees should hold on to him – Montero @ DH, Tex at 1B and Romine at C (unless they go get a C somewhere else).

        The fact that he went nearly 2 weeks without striking out once is something I don’t think I’ve ever seen. He’ll have his ups and downs in the development stages.

    Looks like Dunn is no longer an option for the Padres.
