West Notes: Giants, Chavez, Dodgers, A’s

By Zachary Links | August 4, 2012 at 10:35am CDT

Last night, Dodgers right-hander Chad Billingsley held the Cubs to four hits over seven innings en route to the club's 6-1 victory at home.  With Cliff Lee reportedly off the market and Ted Lilly perhaps out for the season, Mark Saxon of ESPNLosAngeles.com writes that the Dodgers will have to bank on more solid pitching out of the 28-year-old.  Here's more out of the Western divisions..

  • Before the trade deadline, the Giants offered Nate Schierholtz to the Yankees in an effort to land veteran Eric Chavez, according to Buster Olney of ESPN.com (via Twitter).  The Giants presumably pursued Chavez prior to acquiring Marco Scutaro, who has been plugged in at third base.  Chavez, 34, is hitting .269/.332..486 with ten homers on the year.
  • After trading for Joe Blanton and putting a claim in on Lee, the Dodgers continue to show that money is no object, writes Steve Henson of Yahoo Sports.  GM Ned Colletti seems to be happy with his newly-found flexibility, but it seems unlikely that the Phillies will part with Lee.
  • Catcher Kurt Suzuki was surprised to hear that the Athletics traded him to Washington but the veteran believes that the trade will work out for him as he will play every day, write John Shea and Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

    Why on earth would the Yankees trade Chavez for Shierholtz, when they got Ichiro and ARod is out? DeWayne Wise is a better player than Shierholtz, and the Yanks CUT him!

    As much as I want to believe this is the pitcher Billingsley is going to be for the rest of the year, I’m not buying it……yet. He’s definitely capable of being that guy but it’s too early to tell. It’s only been three starts. I’m keeping my fingers crossed though.
