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.

    • Well he isn't exactly tearing it up since he got sent down.  I think he is something like 6 for 31 since?  Which makes him 8 for 70  (roughly) since his call up. Which is batting around .115 or so for the past month. He has obviously hit a level of talent that he is not handling all that well.  Considering his age, unless he really starts tearing it up?  I would be inclined to leave him down in AAA all year until the late season call ups.   
    • Roy, man I love you as a sportscaster personality and more importantly as just a genuinely nice person.   I do. But this is why I said last week in the thread you made about how the O's would get blown out by the Yankees that you are saying things lately that don't seem to be making much sense and many other posters would be banned by now for the same things. And don't get me wrong.  I don't want you banned and I hope you keep posting for a long long time.  You are a true O's, albeit very emotional..FAN. But Roy, read the OP.  He clearly said those trade ideas were from a Red's message board. 2 times I believe. Cmonnnnnnnn man!   BTW as far as the actual trade ideas?  Laughable.  Not even being a homer.  But just laughable.
    • Kremer is an excellent athlete and I think, think, I heard he had some experience catching.
    • One of our friends ran into him at a game. He invite him, his girlfriend, and her two kids up into the owners’ suite to watch the game with him. 
    • Kremer is included in that, so we will have to take somebody out of the rotation and it will be a difficult decision. Hopefully we can preserve their ammunition for late in the season, by somehow rotating the rotation.
    • Just based on pure stuff to overwhelm hitters at the end of a game, I'd say this would be Grayson Rodriguez. But I'd rather have Grayson Rodriguez as a starter so I went with Albert Suarez because he has some swing and miss in his very good stuff, and I don't want to take Burnes/Bradish/Means/Rodrigez/Irvin out of the Rotation. So by default it goes to the best swing and miss guy we have not in the starting rotation, and I'm mindful of how alot of former starters have become superb closers. (I'm thinking of Smoltz, right off the bat).
    • I bet it would be so much fun to sit with him and watch a game and talk baseball. Like you said, he seems like a warm and friendly person, but he's also smart and knows his baseball history (and world history too).
