I'd roll on with Turner. The most favorable scenario for Moss is that the Cards deal Adams (there's rumors of a couple AL East teams poking at a deal), and Holliday gets hurt again. But that's the only path for him to get full time ABs.

Sorry ElD, but Turner still sucks.

He looks awwwwwful at the plate right now - weak swings, letting clear strikes go by, just not doing anything positive. Not sure if the knee surgery has taken his legs out from under him or he's just in a slump but he'll need to snap out of it if he wants to keep getting at-bats.Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostSorry ElD, but Turner still sucks.Comment

He's a pussy. I mean, a Phillies pitcher even struck out 16 against the Padres.Originally posted by eldiablo505I'm just here for the baseball.Comment

Dude really is a man among boys out there. My biggest regret is not giving him a max contract when I had the chance way back when. It may be right 99 out of a 100 not to extend pitchers multiple years, but I knew he was special and I wimped out. A case could be made that he has been the most valuable player in baseball since he started his career. When the dust settles, Kershaw is likely be a consensus top 10 pitcher of all time. He is the only guy pitching today that I'd bet money on making it to 300+ wins (I know, wins are a horrible indicator of his greatness, but when you get that high up there, it is still an easy shorthand benchmark for greatness and longevity...I think he gets to 4,000 Ks too).Originally posted by eldiablo505Comment

Maeda vs. Stroman - should be a good one.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

Love this story. So the Dodgers played in Tampa on Wed night, then flew to Toronto & had an off day here. So what did they do ... first thing in the am, Yasiel Puig & Adrian Gonzales went fishing in Lake Ontario.
It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

well, Yasiel Puig is really enjoying himself here in Toronto ... he was also at the Raptors-Heat game last night, and today he went for a walk on the CN Tower ... for context the white building in the background is 72 floors ...

Well, this is going to be interesting...
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says the team is considering promoting one of baseball’s top prospects, lefty Julio Urias, to join its bullpen, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group tweets. “We’re looking through options and (Julio) Urias is definitely at the top of the list,” Hoornstra says. The team could also promote Jharel Cotton or Jose De Leon instead, however, as Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles times notes (also on Twitter)."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

I just saw this and im a little puzzled by it. As arguably the best starting pitching prospect in the game, widely considered a "protege", wouldnt you want to cement his mentality as an MLB starter? I assume that they are considering this as an option to limit his innings and potentially get him acclimated to MLB hitters while limiting the risk of blowups(if he pitches an average of 2 IP per outing, rather than 6, he has less chances to fail because hes just not throwing as many pitches/potential mistakes) Given their huge need for starting pitching too, I just dont see the reasoning given the caliber of his talent. Granted, the Dodgers organization definitely has much more expertise and knowledge in these matters than I.Originally posted by Hornsby View PostComment

Don't forget that the White Sox used Sale as a closer for a season...roughly 70 innings. The next year he was a starter with 200 innings pitched. It's a nice stepping stone for the kid to pitch 50-70 innings with little pressure, learn from a guy like Kershaw, and get acclimated to travelling the big league way.Originally posted by jamesfredette View Post"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Yeah, thats what i figured, but wouldnt he be a potential gamer changer as a starter for them? I feel like he could definitely put them over the edge in that division. It is an even year after all so they may need all the help they can get...Comment

I'm betting that after the Dodgers initially use Urias out of the bullpen they will give him a few starts in September. He may even be available to start in October if they keep his innings down.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
