Dodgers Open to Trading Dee Gordon


section18

Recommended Posts

If we cannot obtain Altuve from Houston to be our 2B and leadoff hitter we should strongly consider dealing for Dee Gordon of the Dodgers. Tremendous speed and perfect leadoff hitter for the Orioles to obtain. See the mlb trade rumors story today and viewed below.

Would anyone do Norris for Dee Gordon?

Everyone in the entire world would do Norris for Gordon except the Dodgers. I'd drive him to LA myself. The conversation, unfortunately for us, starts with Gausman and he alone might not even be enough. Middle Infielders don't grow on trees, much less ones with a so-called leadoff profile. The A's just gave up a better pitcher than Norrisand got back a far inferior player to Gordon.

Grodon OBP is awful.

Awful? Define awful. .326 in 2014 would be mid pack of the regulars last year for the O's. Granted the O's are not an OBP exemplary team by any stretch, but that definitely sounds like an improvement. Even his .314 career OBP would be a help with that speed.

Having said all that, I would still prefer Schoop.

So Bundy would have probably landed us Gordon. I know he has his flaws, but his young, still has upside and, man oh man that speed. It sure would have looked good penciling him at 2b. Is this a trade you would have made?

What good is that speed. I mean. Really. Is it important? A potential top of the rotation pitcher is.

    • The Machado trade wasn't the mark of poor judgment.  We got a decent return for when we traded him (2018, with less than a year of control left).  The underlying issue was failure to recognize the timing of that team's window shutting.  2017 started off well enough, but May was punctuated by a 5-14 stretch in the last 19 games of the month (including a 7 game losing streak) and a losing June (that had a 6 game losing streak).  They then limped into the AS Break on a 3-6 July start (including another 5 game losing streak).  Went from a season best 22-10 on May 10, to 42-46 at the break. The pitching clearly couldn't keep up, and denial is a powerful thing.  We didn't do any selling or start a minor rebuild.  Whether that was a Duquette decision or an Angelos decision... who can say? I always look back at that period as having a silver lining though.  We had to crash and burn... to be built back to strength with our modern iteration of our team.  I'm not so sure that the team would have decided to take the same path if they had found additional ways of treading water for several seasons longer than they actually did... so I'm loathe to criticize the failures in the last seasons of the Duquette era.  Without them, we very well might not be where we are today. 
    • Even our bad lineups have a brutal top half of the order for opposing pitchers. 
    • Mullins had a good AB left on left last night that hopefully is a good sign of a turnaround. 10 pitches and fought off several fastballs that he has been swinging through. Ultimately just a groundout but I thought it was encouraging.    Liked the bunt single too. 
    • Well...the "A" team hasn't been scoring runs when he pitches anyway.  Might as well shake it up a bit.
    • And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real Can you dig it Whooo-oooh I can dig it, he can dig it She can dig it, we can dig it They can dig it, you can dig it Oh, let's dig it Can you dig it, baby I can dig it, he can dig it She can dig it, we can dig it They can dig it, you can dig it Oh, let's dig it Can you dig it, baby    
    • I was thinking he'll get until the AS break to show some signs of life, but it could happen by Father's Day. I'm not implying that they'll release him but that his role could decrease significantly.
