There is no way Parrish can be a setup man...at least that's what I hope you were thinking
Why not? I think he can be an excellent relief pitcher, and maybe even a closer.

There was no way BJ Ryan could be a setup man until he got his control issues under...control. He did, and now is one of the best closers in the game. Parrish could very easily follow a similar career path.

Look how long Ryan Shealy stayed in COL. Just because he's in a roster crunch, doesn't mean they'll just give him away for our deadweight.

Which is why we need to give them something they need. With Furcal's injury they could use an upgrade at SS in Tejada,. We in turn get Furcal who will be ready in a week or two and gain Loney at 1B allowing us to put Huff at the DH spot full time. Furcal's contract runs out in 2008 though so we might have to offer him an extension to make it worthwhile.

A trade of Tejada for Furcal + extension, Loney and a pitching prospect would benefit this team in the long run.

clapdiddy, there's no doubt we could make room for this guy. I have wanted him for over a year. But we'd have to offer something the Dodgers actually want.

If they need a bullpen arm, send them Parrish. I'd hate to do it, but to get a young guy like Loney would be worth it.

I'd have to think they'd want guys who could help them right away. Parrish makes a lot of sense, but no way is he and Williamson enough.

Certainly thats not anywhere near enough right now, but my premise was what if Parrish is having a season like BJ Ryan's 2004 season? Where he's got an ERA in the 2's and is averaging 10-12 K/9. A young, cheap, dominant LH RP is awfully valuable. Maybe we'd have to add a bit more, but if my scenario plays out, that could be an intersting trade.

Would any of you trade Ray for Loney, whether it was directly or indirectly(ie in a 3 team trade)??

I'd probably need a bit more in return, but yeah, I'd move Ray for Loney and a decent (org 5-10) prospect.

You serious? Ryan is very good because his delivery is extremely deceptive. Parrish has put together a good month and has never proven to have consistent control. Parrish will always be a middle reliever in my book.

I definitely agree Williamson and Parrish could get it done. Relief pitching, especially at the deadline, holds avery high premium, especially if it is cheap on top of it.

If the Dodgers need BP arms and these guys are performing, this is a trade that could work.

No offense but your book is wrong.

Parrish has great stuff and if he can stay healthy and keep his control down, he can be as dominant a lefty as their is in the game, including Mr Ryan.

Well when is that going to happen? Parrish does NOT have the same stuff as Ryan

I would sign up for Ray for Loney in a second - and it seems somewhat realistic.

The Dodgers have a lot of talent on their major league and minor league systems.

If it was a prospect swap, I would consider dealing one of Olson/Penn plus Liz for Loney.

I agree 100% with the concept of the thread - we should be all over Loney.

      Honestly, this almost feels like a positive. Last year an outing like this might have had 4 or 5 walks. Hopefully this indicates a better ability to grind out a start without his best command.

      Yea that’s a lot of pitching.  Only 1 walk but the str% was just under 60%.

      Roch's Fascination with Ryan McKenna

      By SteveA · Posted

      A few ideas:  McKenna has been around for a long time, Roch probably knows him pretty well.   Maybe he likes the guy.  It is a fact that Hyde (and likely Elias too) like to have a good mix of RH and LH bats, and take LH/RH splits very seriously.    We see it in their lineups, and in player moves, all the time.   It is clear based on the multitude of comments that come out each time a lineup is posted, that Hyde/Elias put a lot more stock in LH/RH splits than the majority of fans here do.   Whether you agree with them or not, the bottom line is it DOES matter to THEM, a lot.   And with Hays down, and now Burdick gone, our MLB/AAA pool of potential outfielders is VERY lefthanded, which means that McKenna probably has more value to them than he does in most our minds.   And Roch is just reflecting that value in his blog.   (When Hays got hurt, I wasn't 100% sure his replacement was going to be Kjerstad, I thought there was a chance, based on past behavior of Elias/Hyde, that it could be McKenna to get another RH bat in the mix). Perhaps Cowser has, or will, convince them that he can be an adequate backup CF if something happens to Mullins.   I don't know if that has happened yet.   But with Hays out, and Mateo so far not passing the eye test as a CF, it's possible that McKenna is still the #1 answer if something were to happen to Cedric.   Which gives him more significance than some other 4A guy who can be DFA'd 3 times in a season like Banuelos and pass through waivers or be easily replaced.

      We smashed him pretty good last year and he’s due for regression. He’s an average pitcher that we should beat.

      Yeah, the limited IP so far is small.  But it feels like he's not at the right level of competition. Of course it's also as much competing against himself (pitch shape, location, etc. that the team tracks) as against the hitters too.  Like you mentioned elsewhere, he's younger than DeLeon.

      I think they’d go with 4 lefties before sending Akin to AAA. If everyone is healthy: SP: Burnes, Grayson, Bradish, Kremer, Means/Irvin RP: Kimbrel, Cano, Coulombe, Perez, Akin, Suárez, Webb/Baumann, Irvin/Means Option: Wells, Tate DFA: Ramirez, Baumann/Webb And then if they want Wells, they either DFA the other of Webb/Baumann or option Akin.  They also have the ability to option Kremer, but he’s really have to pitch poorly for that to happen.

      With Cowser hitting lefties ok so far, not a lot of reason for McKenna. Mateo has already played CF once as well, so they are covered down with defense in CF and Kjerstad brings a much better bat.
