Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Who's next?

Again,  I agree with the idea of blowing this team sky high.  I like the Pentland move.  Although I don't feel it should be the only move.

I'd call the Dodgers and see if they want their 3B back.  Although I LOVE Beltre...I think we can get something worthwhile for him.  While we have the Dodgers on the phone, we let them know that we have Erik Bedard and if they want him, they can have him.

On TrueBlue LA...there is discussion that since they Dodgers have about $80 million coming off the books in the next two years.  They have put together a package to offer Pittsburgh for Snell and Bay.  I would think that they might listen to an offer for Beltre and Bedard using similar prospects or players.

They were saying a package of Hu, Loney, Ethier, McDonald and Kuo for Snell and Bay might get it done.

I think a package of Loney, Ethier, Penny and McDonald would get it done in my book.

Duh.

He’s 32-13 the last two years. I think that’s better than any of our pitchers. Also he had like a 3.00 ERA last year.

When’s the last time we had a guy who could go 16-4 (as Penny did last year)?

He's got some issues....

His K/BB rate keeps falling. His FIP is up to 4.27 this year. BABIP is over .300 for 4 of the last 5 years. His LOP% is was between 70%-76%, but its down to 65% this year. Looks like he’s having an unlucky year. But its not like they’d part with him for cheap. And it isn’t like throwing more bad players together makes a deal for a good one look better.

Also, he just turned 30. It’d be the Dodgers selling high. Not good.

Penny sucks.

He was overrated last year and has gotten worse this year.

As a throw-in

I dont think they would give up a fourth prospect. Plus he is better than Wash or Tits

Okay

Then dont throw in Penny…still I think the Dodgers might be an ideal trading partner

Yeah....

I thought this girl in high school would be an ideal partner….. too bad she thought I had nothing to offer her.

This is the same situation.

Hu, Loney, Ethier, McDonald and Kuo for Bedard/Beltre

I’d call that a bargain / the best we’ve ever had.

Blake DeWitt

is putting up an .803 OPS for the Dodgers playing 3rd… and he’s 22 years old, and cheap….

Why would the Dodgers want Beltre back?

Business has been really slow here lately

I should fire our delivery driver and make my customers come pick up their jobs.

We'd probably hire Gilberg instead.
