I know it is early but this is what I do as a Dodger fan to keep interested during our offseason. ANy thoughts are welcome
Here is what we look like so far all these players are currently under contract for next season:
C - Russell Martin - $500K+
C - Danny Ardoin - $400K
1B - James Loney - $411K
2B - Blake DeWitt - $400K
SS - Chin-Lung Hu - $400K
3B -
IF - Tony Abreu - $400K
IF -
LF - Juan Pierre - $10MM
CF - Matt Kemp - $406K
RF - Andre Ethier - $425K+
OF - Andruw Jones - $15MM
OF - Delwyn Young - $400K
SP - Chad Billingsley - $415K
SP - Hiroki Kuroda - $10MM
SP - Clayton Kershaw - $400K
SP - Jason Schmidt - $12MM
SP - James McDonald - $400K
RP - Takashi Saito - $2MM+
RP - Jonathan Broxton - $454K+
RP - Hong-Chih Kuo - $400K
RP - Cory Wade - $400K
RP - Scott Proctor - $1.115MM+
RP - Ramon Troncoso - $400K
RP - Yhency Brazoban - $540K+
Buyouts: Brad Penny - $2MM, Gary Bennett - $50K
Outfeild:
Ok white sox have shown interest in Pierre but the Dodgers want to wait until they see what happens with Manny first to make sure they are not left short in the OF and have to bring Adrew Lambo up from AAA before he is ready. Surprise no one wants Jones accept get this Atlanta might be willing to take him if the Dodgers half his salery. That would leave us with only 2 outfeilders though and would force them to bring up Lambo.
3rd:
Rumer has them going after Beltre and bringing him back. Personally I would rather keep Casey Blake. Also heard something about brining Crede over in the Perre trade but I think that when trading perre we need to try and get some good AA prospects that can build we might find a steal like we did with Ethier (got him staright up for Milton Bradley).
SS:
Furcal wants to stay and the Dodgers want to keep him his is a locked deal just have to work out money but that should be easy (he said he will give the Dodgers a discount)
SP:
This is a major need for us and they are working on Peavy but the Padres want to wait until the winter meetings to do a trade so they can research prospects. The Dodgers are thinking about brining in Randy Johnson (might help Kershaw develop and they are going to run after CC. I also hope they go after Oliver Perez (27)
Closer: I have not heard anything about this and I think Krod is getting left out to dry to manny big names out there he might not get as much as he was hoping.
In the wings (prospects)
OF Andrew lambo is aa beast and he could be brought up but it will be hard on him playing a full major league season
3rd Brian Mathews This kids is young and has the potential to be a David Wright type hitter with a golden glove
Stay tned for more I am getting my research together.
