Pretty obvious they are keeping Baez where he's at to give him AB's as much as possible.

Noot is a decent player and appears to an all around good guy and good teammate. I wish him well in AZ.

The Dodgers get 2 months of Skubal plus the post season in exchange for a high rated prospect. Then Skubal hits FA and all bets are off. LA has a better chance of retaining him since they seem to have an unlimited budget but there will be plenty of offers for him to sort through.

Quinn the Eskimo with 5 innings/2 ER. Pretty decent debut. Too bad he didn't throw a 9 inning shutout. We could have won.

Hence always had great potential. Guy just could not stay healthy.

1 run on 5 hits. Pretty much the story of the 2nd half so far. Lot of winnable games flushed down the drain for lack of run support.

Noot is a decent player. Not a star but a good guy to have on your roster. He's also in his 5th yr, has trouble staying healthy. No, I would not give him away but if a good return could be had I'd do the deal. He's not going to get any better at this point. Herrera I'd be more reluctant to move...

Juice spending money doesn't guarantee success. The Jays and Mets are both in last place. So are the Angels. The Giants are saved only by the Rockies. Meanwhile, 2 of the teams with the lowest payrolls are leading their divisions. The Brewers are a consistent playoff team. I'll be patient, for...

High payrolls at least in the near future aren't likely to happen. Keep a young core together and keep building the minors with talent. Walker, Burly, Winn, JJ, and Herrera. McGreevy, Pallante and Leahy. Graceffo and a few other young relievers not named Svanson. I'd trade Noot, Libby, May...

After last nite Libby has a 5.26 ERA/1.56 WHIP/.296 BAA. All of those numbers are awful. Back to the pen or Memphis. Give someone else a shot.

7-3. With Liberatore pitching I didn't expect anything different. And the offense didn't put up much of a fight either. Sinking fast.

McGreevy Pallante and Leahy have been their 3 best starters and none are making any real $$. I'm keeping those 3. May and Liberatore can go in a deal for prospects. So can O'brien and Noot. Put Herrera back at DH and leave him there. He adds nothing as a catcher and his offense suffers at the...

The offense has been reliant on 4 guys all year, and when a couple of them cool off there is no one that steps up because there are too many unproductive bats on the roster. Add that to a shaky bullpen and you got what you got.

If we had a LF and 3B who could actually hit we could live with good field no hit types at C and CF. Baez is working his way up and may help solve the OF issues but by the time he gets here and figures it out Walker might be gone. I'm not aware of anyone in the system now that projects as a plus...

No doubt. Walker seems to have solved one OF spot but we have 2 more to go.
