Welp, I was right. They managed to screw it up.

lol

Yeah, from the Dodgers prospect site, #4, #27 & #28. Pop is a relief guy and hard thrower. He was in the top 50. Valera is a 26 yr old 2B

We'll see.  Even if only one of them becomes a bonafide, quality major leaguer, I'd say it was a good deal.  Considering they're only going to have him for another 2-3 months, you only expect so much.  I just hope they continue to unload players and stockpile as many prospects as possible.

And people think we have a shot at getting a Top 100 guy for Britton. LOL

[Dystopia]

Wasn't a great return, but considering the alternative of getting just a compensation pick at the end of the year, it's decent. But we definitely should have gotten a better secondary piece. 

[ChaosLex]

Gotta get Britton, Jones, etc., out of here ASAP now. Obviously, we’ll suck for a couple years, but get a couple high draft picks in the process.

With a little finesse (and some luck on our side), we might be in contention by 2020/21. Here’s hoping!

Can someone clear thing up for me?

 

Been out of pocket but this is what I heard

 

@Ken_Rosenthal 2h2 hours ago

Diaz was #DodgersNo. 4 prospect, according to @MLBPipeline. Bannon, a third baseman, was No. 27. Kremer, a right-handed pitcher, was No. 28. Pop is a right-hander in High A. Valera is a 26-year-old 2B who has seen time in majors this season.

 

 

I keep seeing posts about Alvarez..... I dont see where Ken has adjusted and I assume he would.

Alvarez isn't in the deal.

Alvarez isn't in the deal.

If Rosenthal is correct I dont know how anyone could not be happy to months of Manny for this bunch

Rob, The relief pitchers has an era around 1.00 and in 40 innings. Does he have starter potential and were RP due to the wealth of depth in the Dodgers system?

Looks like a future closer to me

Kremer's season 3.30ERA  in 16 starts at A+ 114 K's in 80 innings! Compared to May 3.09 ERA in 78 innings with 83Ks. I'm sure May's stuff is rated better but the results are comparable

[SportsGuy]

May is also 2 years younger.  He's the better prospect but doesn't mean Kremer can't be something valuable.

How do you walk 23 guys over 16 innings. Thats crazy

How do you walk 23 guys over 16 innings. Thats crazy

You just alternate innings. First, you walk 2 guys. Next inning just 1. Inning after that, walk 2 guys. Then just 1 guy, and so on.

That should give him 24 walks.
Apparently he forgot to walk a guy somewhere.
