Wild Guesses As To Whom Colletti Might Be Chasing

Jim Bowden of ESPN.com thinks the Dodgers might be looking for a right-handed reliever at the trade deadline (link insider only):

Right-handed relievers

Luke Gregerson | San Diego Padres | Odds: 50 percent

Gregerson is one of the best setup relievers in baseball and would be a huge difference-maker for teams like the Oakland Athletics, Tigers, Cincinnati Reds or Los Angeles Dodgers. The asking price is high; the Padres won’t give him away, so someone will have to overpay, but this is one reliever who’s worth it.

Kevin Gregg | Chicago Cubs | Odds: 90 percent

The Cubs have been the clear winners among the sellers so far at this trade deadline, so they might as well complete the task by dealing Gregg, who’s done his part in pitching himself onto a contender. His 22 saves and 2.68 ERA this year have been impressive, although he should expect to return to a setup role in any trade in which he’s involved. The Dodgers would be a good landing spot for him.

Kevin Gregg is 35 so that one would make sense for Colletti to covet. Gregerson is only 29, however...

Anyone but the homeless-looking bearded Gnat....

The same Gregg they cut because we had 20 starters back in April. I saw him pitch against the Giants a lot this weekend and he was throwing some meatballs. The Giants missed them but other teams probably won't.

But yeah I'd still take him over Wilson.

Yeah, no Gregg. You don't trade for someone you gave away.

Wilson's a free agent who costs the Dodgers nothing in prospects. I know we have years of hatred for him, but if he's got the stuff he had 2 years ago, or even close to it, he's worth a shot.

Better for him to be used every 4 days by us than by an opponent against us. Or maybe not.

Still, the whole beard thing has to go.

Paul said...

Wilson is another "project". Fine if we are in April or May but too much risk during the stretch run.


Maybe he looked fantastic in his work out. I doubt he has the 2010 velocity or movement.

Plus the guy is fuckin self promoting weirdo.

Hideo Nomo said...

Rangers are willing to listen on "anyone."

Beltre?

Annnnnd Wilson signed.

On the one hand, I hate Brian Wilson. On the other hand.... maybe this means we don't trade any prospects. Iono.

Paul said...

On one hand I hate Ned on the other hand I love the Dodgers and on a third hand I will vomit.

Note to Stan Kasten: Dodger fans will not buy fake beards. They'll sit on the shelves just like the fake dreads from....



Shit.

That is…upsetting.

Ned loves him some Giants. Don't fuck things up Mr. Wilson.

If you're looking to return to the game and make an impact in the playoff chase, of course you prefer the #dodgers over the #sfgiants.

Wilson signing with #Dodgers tells Giants they have no chance. Viva #BlueBeard

This guy looks like a hobo's crotch. But if he's effective, I'll take it.

I was first made aware of it when Joanna Newsom referenced the tale in the song "Go Long".
