Phightins Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Wow, Jake Westbrook to the Cardinals and Ryan Ludwick to the Padres (a couple small prospects from San Diego involved in the trade as well - one going to Cleveland and one going to St. Louis). Did not expect Ludwick to be traded, I guess they are totally confident in Jon Jay. Edited July 31, 2010 by Phightins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot for Blake DeWitt and prospects (Brett Wallach and Kyle Smit). I am not sure I understand why Theriot and DeWitt are involved. I'd understand if the Cubs wanted to get rid of Theriot because they have too many middle infielders, but they are taking one back from the Dodgers as well. Interesting. Also, wonder if all this Manny talk is legit or BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 ajcbraves#Braves are still working on several trade possibilities, hitters and relievers.

Cobb Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 ed_price: Royals get P Jesse Chavez, OF Gregor Blanco and P Tim Collins from Braves for Farnsworth and Ankiel as CBSSports.com reported. -- jonmorosi: #Tigers trade Wilkin Ramirez to #Braves for PTBNL or cash. #TRADES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Don't get the trade with the Royals. Ankiel is not really an improvement over any of the Braves outfielders and Farnsworth just sucks (although I guess he's been OK this year). Seems like a lateral move.

Seems like a lateral move.We replace Nate/Blanco with Ankiel, which is GOOD. Although, I really liked Blanco. Farnsworth > Chavez so I'm happy.

Brand New Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) Dodgers also got Octavio Dotel. They're going to make a run at the Padres. Hopefully all this trades are enough. I'm not going to lie. I'm not please with these trades. The Dodgers just got a lot older. They've managed to trade: James McDonald, Blake DeWitt, Andrew Lambo, Lucas May, Kyle Smit, Elisaul Pimentel, and Brett Wallach. for Ted Lilly, Ryan Theriot, Scott Podsednik, and Octavio Dotel. Basically, a decent but not vital starter, a lousy middle infielder, a mediocre outfielder, and a decent veteran reliever, and all over 30.

Phightins Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I thought the Pirates did pretty well in the Dotel trade. First time in a while that they didn't get totally schooled while "selling" at the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 The Dodgers got more experienced though. It's going to help them in the postseason if they make it. They've never been able to get over that NLCS hump. Pods is like one of my favorite players too, I'm happy he's got a chance to win again this year.

Brand New Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Harold Reynolds speaks the truth. "I’m missing it. Ted Lilly doesn’t take you to the playoffs. I don’t get the trade." And the Dodgers got raped on the Dotel deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Salty went to the Red Sox. I miss him. I LOVED him back when he was on the Braves in 07'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I'm surprised we didn't seek out a left handed power bat. I thought for sure we were going to flip Jackson. People have been saying we don't really need it, considering how great our offense has been playing. But I think we'll need one come playoff time. But I'm also happy we hung on to Jackson. He's a good pitcher and will fill the gap left by the Peavy injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
